Greetings!
I currently have a KC868-A6 device.
I am using it along with a HomeAssistant with EspHome to use the relays and a wiegand device. I am trying to set up communication using MQTT by editing the configuration.yaml file and the mosquitto broker add-on, using MQTT.fx as a software.
I've been browsing videos of different Kincony devices about how to set this up and most set the server internally through the Kincony internal web server and then they do some additional settings using the add-on and so on.
Ever since flashing and before doing anything using EspHome, I have been unable to connect to the WiFi AP provided by the device. I can see the AP in the WiFi list, full signal but each time I connect it fails and disconnects, making me unable to access the 192.168.4.1 URL. I also tried to do the option with the buttons and another solution via flashing provided by another user in the thread and I still was unable to connect to the website.
Once I do the whole EspHome configuration, I understand that this AP is disabled and I can no longer access this URL to configure the Kincony device and all must be done using the EspHome configuration files as the KC868-A6-XXXXXXXXX wifi can't be seen anymore.
Are there any alternatives to this? I have already done the flash KCS guide with latest firmware (2.2.2), the UDP_SCAN tool doesn't detect the device, the device IS connecting properly to the wifi if we go by the .yaml logs and using a 3rd party IP scanner it shows up on the list.
