First Steps, need help

Posted by: nonickatall - 07-03-2025, 10:21 AM - Forum: Development - Replies (5)

Hi

I am, new at KinCony and new to this Forum and struggle to beginn.

Maby someonbe can give me some valueble information.

I bought my first Kincony KC868-A8 to run a larger automation project with the software I created. The plan is to use several of these units. The Kincony KC868-A8 is supposed to communicate via MQTT. I've now put the first device into operation and am trying to configure it.

Unfortunately, I'm not having any success. I can't find any information about getting started, and ChatCPT couldn't help me either.

I can connect the device to Windows and ping it via the address 192.168.1.200, but unfortunately, I can't configure the device with Vircom software so that I can even reach it on the normal network, because Vircom don't find the unit, even if I set it to the correct IP range and Firewall is disabled.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to get started with the device, so I can even begin to get to grips with it?

My first questions are:
·[size=1]         [/size]Is there an appropriate “first steps” documentary somewhere?
·[size=1]         [/size]How can I configure the device so that I can access it over the network?
·[size=1]         [/size]How can I install the appropriate software to work with the device via MQTT?
·[size=1]         [/size]And is there any documentation on the topic of MQTT?

I am looking forward for your kind answers, to start with my project.

Best regards from Germany
