Here is "KCS" firmware for KinCony KC868-A series (ESP32) board.
How to download and use, online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html

v2.1.0 improment:
add support KC868-AIO board.
fixed some bugs.
add get temperature and humidity sensor by TCP, HTTP, MQTT protocol.

I just installed the KCS V2 to my KC868-AIO.
It works great!
But how can I use 1 switch to turn on/off (single click) and hold to increase/decrease the analog output?

The only thing that happens is the AO gets set to the configured value.
I tried all the different trigger options.

you can create second IFTTT command for "HOLD ON". just create multi IFTTT command is ok.

Ok, is this behavior possible with one switch?

The light is off

single click - the light turns on to the last brightness value
single click - the light turns off
hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

maybe you need multi times of "hold", you can test it.

Hi Admin

Is it possible to make more "HOLD ON-s" rows.  3....5 HOLD ON 

HOLD ON 1 
HOLD ON 2 
HOLD ON 3
........

At the settings menu can adjust the hold on time:

Example:

HOLD ON 1   500ms
HOLD ON 2   700ms
HOLD ON 3   900ms  

This is good for dimmer. 
Example:  500ms dimmer 20%, 700ms dimmer 40%; 900ms dimmer 70%

do you means, create some different HOLD ON trigger, send customsize protocol command to dimmer controller?
now "KCS" firmware not support this, but i will save your suggestion.

I tried many different things...

Currently, it is not possible to get this behavior. Even creating multiple IFTTT commands.

single click - the light turns on to the last brightness value
single click - the light turns off
hold - the light increases in brightness
hold again - the light decreases in brightness

Will this be possible in the future?
Otherwise, the KCS system is not an option for me and I will need to use ESPHome and configure everything in home assistant.
I would prefer to use the KCS system because it works immediately after a power outage.

Thanks in advance!

your requirements suggest use ESPHome config in yaml. ESPHome also work locally.
