set the threshold value for every sensor in KCS sensor webpage.
so that will auto update to mqtt message when tempetature changed value.

Yes, that was 1st thing to do, unfortunately without preogress.

Honestly, I did not update firmware recently, perhaps that can be an issue.. ? it is still on v2.2.2

the firmware too old. please download newest KCS v2 firmware: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8267

Hello again,
 Firmware updated, unfortunately, now it does not communicate at all with HA.
All credentials are set (user, pass, IP, port) but no luck.
I used v2.2.14, several times downloading stopped due to comm error, can be a cable or something else, but process was finished, everything else is working except MQTT :-)

Somehow message appears in listen mode, but sporadic, not constant communication. only for Output_1

Solved,
Stupid mistake in IP, it should be with mqtt://.   :-)


Thanks, everything works fine now !
