I am building 2 houses that are coming up soon for electrical wiring. I am considering Kincony products instead of the wiifi router for home automation, but I have some questions that I hope something in this forum can help with.
 
The houses are fully 100% off-grid solar, and battery power as they are being built not very close to any grid power.
 
I am considering Kincony products and some Zigbee devices for home automation.
 
First, how does Kincony work with dumb light switches? Ex. Can Kincony turn off a light using automation and the light be turned back on via switch?
Second, what happens after a power loss? Does the system come back with everything working?
Third, if used in conjunction with ZigBee devices, does the devices need to be reprogram when using Kincony to control the down stream device? Ex. Kincony controls a device circuit like a light switch, in between the Kincony hub and the device is a ZigBee device, does this device loses power and require program?
Fourth, will wireless connected devices lose programming if controlled with Kincony?
Fifth, how does Kincony interact with other smart devices or technology such as wireless, Bluetooth, Zwave, ZigBee, etc.?

House:

·         65+ lights control by dumb light switches
·         4 mini split ac conditioning – automated to work only during solar power
·         A series of motion/pir sensors
·         Motorized blinds
·         Dimmable lights
·         Multiway light switch
·         Water level monitor
·          
I want voice control (Alexa, Google, and local), app control, browser control using tablets, using Home Assistant.
I am considering these products
KC868-Server, KC868-E8, MCB breaker, and other components.
 
Am I missing anything? Can Kincony do all this without any issues?

Hello, 
Absolutely, Kincony offers seamless integration with existing dumb light switches, ensuring both automation and manual control. Their systems are designed to recover smoothly after power loss, maintaining functionality without interruption. Zigbee device integration typically doesn't require reprogramming, and Kincony's compatibility with various smart technologies ensures a versatile home automation setup. With careful planning, Kincony can meet your needs effectively.

I had to hire a guy to plan my whole system to work smoothly, he worked magic on those things, now I can enhoy them seamlessly
