hello!
I was having difficulties using my A6, I followed this tutorial and it was phenomenal, I still have difficulties with some concepts in the IoT world.
I'm using the A6 as my study base.
what would be a next step after after KCS?



thanks!! Smile
just play with every function, why don't understand concept, search on Google what's this means, why do that.
Bonjour à tous,
Les fonctions DS1307, LoRa pour le KC868-A6 fonctionnement ?
Pas encore trouver des programmes simples satisfaisants !!!
Bon courage

Greetings everyone!

I would like to know if I can use the Mixly software to program my A6, I saw a video lesson (link below), I found the way of block programming very interesting, I think it is more intuitive for me as a beginner.

can you use this software on the A6? if yes, what configuration should i do.

Thank you all!

sure , no problem, it support ESP32. just do as video is ok. when use relay output, need use PCF8574. Because A4 is use ESP32's GPIO control relay directly.

The layout on "https://www.kincony.com/kcs-firmware-esp32-board.html" is not the same as the layout I have.  
See pictures to see the difference.  I tried KCS versions "2.2.2" ; "2.2.7 " and "2.2.10"
Due to this I cannot define buttons.

How can i define the buttons in the KCS? 

Best regards
because new version use by IFTTT, just click IFTTT left menu, you can define all INPUT for OUTPUT.
