Hi! First time user here!
I've just received my KC868-A6, I'd like to connect it to my home assistant.
I'm trying to follow the instructions from https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html using the bin  KC868_A6_V1.0.10.zip
I say "trying" because the instructions are a bit unclear to me when they start using the ethernet cable and the A6 doesn't have one.
I've managed to connect to the board through its wifi and accessing http://192.168.4.1.
From here, I assume I need change the wifi mode to STA and set my home wifi ssid and password and after that the KC868-A6 will be discoverable through the scan device program, right?

My issue is that I can't move forward from this point, after changing it to STA it never connects to my wifi and I need to restart it through the flash program to make the board accessible again.
What am I missing? Did I understood something wrong? I've tried 2g and 5g with the same result.

Thanks

Hello, I'm having a similar problem, that's why I didn't start a new thread.
I have a KC 868 A-6 card that I flashed to version 2.2.14. I access the card via the address 192.168.4.1. I added the Tuya settings without any problem, but when I enter my SSID and password in STA, I save everything, then the card disconnects, and after that I no longer have access to my card. I have to press S1 or S2 each time and re-enter the settings, but I have the impression that it doesn't save them. Do you have this problem? Thank you very much.

first step, use wifi to STA mode. then use kincony scan device tool to find out your board's new IP.
