[b]1.Diagram of relay Controller[/b]
[Image: KC868-Server2_02.png]
Download PDF details
[b]Leds status different color means:[/b]
Red: Controller is power on.
Green: WiFi module is connect to your router successfully.
White: network run in “TCP Client” mode or “MQTT” mode.
Yellow: network run in “TCP Server” mode.
Blue: network run in “UDP” mode.
[b]what’s UDP , TCP Server, TCP Client, MQTT means:[/b]
When set to “UDP” and set the cloud server IP and port, controller will auto connect to KinCony’s Cloud server. Then you can use “KinCony Smart Home” phone app for remote control relay.
When set to “TCP Server”, controller own is a server work in local network ,you can use “KBOX” phone app without internet and our cloud server to control relay in local network.just your mobile phone or PC and controller connect with same router.
When set to “TCP Client” and set the server IP and port, controller will auto connect to your own server (not KinCony’s cloud server) by “TCP Client”, you can write program for server and make your own phone app to use, this for developer to use.
When set to “MQTT” and set the server IP and port, controller will auto connect to KinCony’s MQTT cloud server or your own server (not KinCony’s cloud server) by MQTT, you can write program for server and make your own phone app to use, this for developer to use. Or you can use “KBOX” android phone app for remote control.
[b]what’s buttons function:[/b]
Button1 “WiFi Reset” : Reset WiFi module, then controller will be work as “AP” mode, you will see the wifi signal “LPT230” for use.Now you can config the ssid and password for your router.
Button2 “Ethernet Mode” : change ethernet work mode for UDP->TCP Server->TCP Client.
Button3 “WiFi Mode” : change WiFi work mode for UDP->TCP Server->TCP Client.
[b]How to use buttons:[/b]
[b]Button1 “WiFi Reset” :[/b] Hold on the button for 5 seconds,then restart power of controller.
[b]Button2 “Ethernet Mode” :[/b]
Hold on the button until LED color changed. There are 5 status:
a.) Hold on button, when the [yellow LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “TCP server” mode;
b.) Hold on button, when the [white LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “TCP Client” mode;
c.) Hold on button, when the [blue LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “UDP” mode;
d.) Hold on button, when the [yellow and white LED] all is ON, release it, then work mode in “UDP” and IP by DHCP mode;
e.) Hold on button, when the [yellow and white and blue LED] all is ON, release it, then work mode in “TCP Server” and IP (192.168.1.200) by static mode;
Note: after changed mode, the controller will restart automatically.
The controller default work mode is DHCP and UDP mode.
[b]Button3 “WiFi Mode” :[/b]
Hold on the button until LED color changed. There are 3 status:
a.) Hold on button, when the [yellow LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “TCP server” mode;
b.) Hold on button, when the [white LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “TCP Client” mode;
c.) Hold on button, when the [blue LED] is ON, release it, then work mode in “UDP” mode;
Note: after changed mode, the controller will restart automatically.
The controller default work mode is DHCP and UDP mode.
[b]2.Network Setting[/b]
A.WiFi config (if you use ethernet cable, you can skip WiFi config step):
B.Set Work Mode for remote control (Need internet and KinCony’s cloud server)
C.Set Work Mode for local LAN control (without internet)



[b]A-1.use Ethernet port to config IP and different work mode by “KinCony-SCAN_Device Tool” for KC868-xB/xBS” series (Recommend)[/b]
Let your KinCony smart controller connect to your router by ethernet cable (CAT5) and your computer also connect with your same router, download “KinCony-SCAN_Device Tool” and unzip file, open “KinCony-SCAN_Device.exe”
[Image: ip-scan-1.png]
[Image: kc868-server.png]
Step1: chose your network device of your computer.
Step2: click “StartMonitorPort” button.
Step3: click “SCAN” button.
Now all KinCony Controller (KC868-HxB or KC868-HxBS) will be see. You will see the device IP,Port,UID,type.
[Image: kc868-server-login.png]
web browser login with your KC868-Server’s IP Address, user and password default all are : admin    admin
[Image: kc868-server-control-panel.png]
Here is “Relay Control” panel webpage, you can control every channel output independently.
[Image: Network-Setting-size-small.png]
Here is network setting details.
[b]SSID and password:[/b] These are your router’s.
[b]Work Mode:[/b]
1- UDP: Connect with KinCony Cloud server by internet, you can use “KinCony Smart Home ” mobile phone application.
2- TCP Server: Work in local network without internet, you can use “KBOX” mobile phone application.
3- TCP Client: This mode for programmer or developer, controller can connect to your own cloud server by TCP socket connection.
4- MQTT: Connect to any MQTT broker by IP and Port.
[b]Domain name:[/b] connnect to cloud server by domain name, KC868-Server will use DNS to find IP address for cloud server
[b]Post Password:[/b] for http command line use
[b]SW trigger output:[/b] 16 channel output action link or unlink with 16 channel input
[b]Input filter time:[/b] Valid holding time can trigger the input for Digital Input 1-8 ports

[b]B.WiFi advanced config by hotspot without router: (Most time not need to use, you can skip this step)[/b]

You just need to select "Virtual Outputs" and import this template. After this file is imported only the IP address as per user's ip address has to be give. There is no need to configure all the 32 relays for ON and OFF commands.
