KBOX COMMUNICATION WITH KC868-H32B

[ahmedk4444@yahoo.com]

KBOX mainly work in local network for relay controller and dimmer controller. ardorid phone app have MQTT remote control function. But we suggest use home assistant app will be prefect for other device , such as KC868-AG.

at firstly, you need to chose which software to use, we not say which must to use, user can chose.

for smart home DIY, user need some basic knowledge of IoT. You have asked almost 100 questions to us, some are basic knowledge, sorry, we can't to write everything on the online guide, we hope before you doing, you can see online guide firstly: www.kincony.com/guide . But you can also post your questions on our technical support forum.  You have sent such much questions on whatsapp, in our country, whatsapp app signal is not stable. Not smooth to use whatsapp. if you think video size is large, you can upload to google driver, then leave download link on the forum. whatsapp also can't send large video file.

now answer your questions:

1. MQTT setting , here is server IP just cloud server's IP, It has nothing to do with static and dynamic modes. Here are the basics of networking.

2. any questions post to forum is better, easy to see details of text and photo and video. WhatsApp is only used in a hurry or a short question.

3. if you want to use KBOX only, ok, you can use it, just work without KC868-AG, it use for home assistant.

i think you should to confirm which software solution you will use, then begin to do it, use anydesk to remote help you is no problem. It's a little chaotic now.

Dear Kincony Admin
Thanks for reply and clarification appreciated

To answer your questions :-
1. Yes the home asistance is my first and main priority since can be used on mobile apps for me and my family and can control all controllers including AG units.
2. I prefer to have a back up simple app as mobile app working as a remote control for controller if will include AG will be advantage if not then without AG such ad Kbox.
3. Regarding a smart home app is not friendly user but may be can have it as a second back up later after more understanding iot as you mentioned.
4. Then we can start with home asistant and setup server and A16 as you suggested and finish setup of all controllers 32HB, 32HBS, 2 D8, AG to server and A16 
Then work out the kbox communicstion if this is your advise, both are fine may be kbox i'm much more famliar with and can easy follow since i tried hard to connect to the controllers and still remember all steps and process parsmeters and work arrounds.

It is up to you to start with home asistance and server/ A16 setup or Kbox as you wish.

Send me and confirming what you would like to start with to resolve the issues one by one and moving forward.

Thsnk you
