What are the S1 and S2 usage? On the schematics, both seems to do the same.

I press more than 10s S1, then S2.
I can connect to Kinc AP on 4.1

On the login page, I tried  admin/null, admin/admin ,always login error.

I tried another board, same issue.
My 12v is 11,7. I guess its not a problem.

Please help

With KCS v2.2.4 firmware I get results from at least 4 sensors. See picture.

However when I try to setup in ESPHOME I consistently getting the following:

It cannot find any sensors on gpio 13 and 14. This was working before the ESPHOME update to 2024.6.1

Any idea on what might have happened?
Also tested with one ds18b20 sensor in each one of the sensor inputs with KCS v2.2.4 firmware and each individual sensor input worked.

    3. I have updated my libraries it also did not helped.

Would this board be suitable to control a small DC motor (I want to automate the chicken coop door). 
Which motor controller would be suitable and can I just connect it to the GPIO pins in the green terminals?

Can I also connect Hall effect sensor to detect open/closed state of the door?
I believe ESP32 has built-in support for hall effect?

sorry, still quite new to electronics/esp32 but therefore I'm looking at this nice board instead of starting from scratch.

Appreciate the advice.
