I'm after testing this update ...

Hassio on Proxmox + Xiaomi Gateway 3 integration for Zigbee devices/sensors + two KINCONY KC868-H32B with MQTT communication and state update in HA - it works like a charm

Edit:
When the state of any relay changes, a message is always sent with the states of all relays. So we can't easily synchronize states in Google Home via Smart Nora. Do you have any solution?

[admin]

H32B V4.29 feedback all relay's state , it's for home assistant to save the state when power failure. if you integrate with Google home, not need all relay state upload. just every relay feedback everyone state, you can use V4.24 firmware.

I have used version 4.24 before.

Currently, all my devices (sensors / relays) are connected via MQTT. Everything works locally via MQTT and Home Assistant. Google Home allows me to control via the Internet, including voice control - so I would like to see the real state of relays in both Google Home and HA.

In version 4.29 we get a message, for example relay number 1 and 3 turned on, the others turned off:

{"relay1":{"on":1},"relay2":{"on":0},"relay3":{"on":1},"relay4":{"on":0},"relay5":{"on":0},"relay6":{"on":0},"relay7":{"on":0},"relay8":{"on":0},"relay9":{"on":0},"relay10":{"on":0},"relay11":{"on":0},"relay12":{"on":0},"relay13":{"on":0},"relay14":{"on":0},"relay15":{"on":0},"relay16":{"on":0},"relay17":{"on":0},"relay18":{"on":0},"relay19":{"on":0},"relay20":{"on":0},"relay21":{"on":0},"relay22":{"on":0},"relay23":{"on":0},"relay24":{"on":0},"relay25":{"on":0},"relay26":{"on":0},"relay27":{"on":0},"relay28":{"on":0},"relay29":{"on":0},"relay30":{"on":0},"relay31":{"on":0},"relay32":{"on":0},"input1":{"on":0},"input2":{"on":0},"input3":{"on":0},"input4":{"on":0},"input5":{"on":0},"input6":{"on":0}}

Maybe you know some method in Node-Red to cut the state of only one relay from such a message and pass it to the selected output as JSON, e.g. {"relay1": {"on": 1}} ?

You just use V4.24 is ok. V4.24 and V4.29 just different from the feedback message. V4.29 is mainly for home assistant. use V4.24 will be fine for you.

I would love to go back to version 4.24 but ... this version does not synchronize states in HA and therefore in Google Home.

I understand you can't.

[admin]

HA need feedback all relay state so that can synchronize, we have tested. so we have designed the V4.29 firmware.

Hello. after updating to v4.29, I cannot log in to the device.
After entering the IP address of the device 192.168.1.9 (ethernet), I enter:
login: "admin"
password: "admin" (I also tried "12345")
and gets: "user or password error!"

And now the most interesting ... if I go back to v4.19 it all works.

What am I doing wrong ?

I tried v4.29; v4.24 but only v4.19 works.

EDIT after 2h:

it works!
I have uploaded v4.29 several times. I reset my router, browser (cookies), and it finally started. Thank you.
