  KinCony E8v3 RS485 Din Rail Relay Module released
Posted by: admin - Today, 02:13 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

KinCony E8v3 RS485 Modbus Din Rail Relay Module based on ARM CPU. It have 8 manual control switch buttons can turn ON/OFF relay even if system is broken. The manual control buttons can be extend by user. The extend cable MAX support 500 meters. 8 channel removable OMRON high-quality relay. It can integrate to home assistant by ESPHome using RS485 modbus controller.
[Image: E8v3_2.jpg]
Inside relay model : OMRON G2R-1-E SPDT
Size: 170mm*105mm*73mm
every channel output : COM,NO,NC
Coil voltage: 12V or 24V
MAX current: 16A at 250VAC
Operation Temperature: -40~55℃
Relay consumption: 0.53W/each
Mechanical life: more than 5 million times
Electrical life: (under rated control capacity) more than 100,000 times (ON-OFF frequency 20 times/minute)
Maximum operating frequency: 20 times/minute (under rated control capacity)
8 channel manual control buttons
[Image: E8v3_1.jpg]
There are 3 control mode:
a. relay control by HIGH level (12V or 24V) or LOW level (0v). (It have two different work voltage version)
b. relay control by manual control buttons on board or by extend manual control buttons.
c. relay control by RS485 modbus command.
4 bit DIP switch:

  F16 tuya reverse sw. function missing
Posted by: Karlis_LV - Yesterday, 08:21 PM - Forum: F16 - Replies (1)

Hello,
Please help me with some information. I have two questions about the KinCony F16 module (software nr. V3.18.0)  and Tuya.
I have connected simple momentary (non-latching) switches to the input channels to control lights. The switch has no fixation: one press turns the light ON, the next press turns it OFF.
Question:
Why, in the Tuya app (Simple Device Scenario),  I can configure the “Reverse Switch” function only for channels 1–6, while the other channels only have ON / OFF options.WHY?

[Image: tuya-kincony-f16-switch06.png]





Question 2:
Why is there such a noticeable delay / latency between pressing the button and the relay switching ON? It is very uncomfortable to use.
Is this a Tuya cloud-related issue, and if I use a local server (local control), will this delay be resolved?

  Relay board wiring error?
Posted by: Elgatoguiri - Yesterday, 02:58 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hi,
I've wired the controller up with a relay board but it acts a bit strange.
All the MOSFET LEDs are on at all the time.

The relay board uses 3 pins for power options. It is set to VCC JD-VCC. 

The relays work when controlled from homeassistant through esphome with a little quirk. When homeassistant switches are off the relays turn on. So it works the opposite way.

The relay board gets its own power and ground.

Are the LEDs supposed to be on at all the time when a relay board is used ?

Is the opposite switching direction a configuration error or I wired something up incorrectly?

This is my esphome config for the board:

Posted by: Borg357 - 01-20-2026, 12:50 AM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (6)

Purchased a Kincony Z1 controller last week.

Located the newest firmware. v3.18.0

launched the flash download tool 3.9.2

Settings at esp32s3, usb

My com port is COM4.

open my firmware v3.18.0, all default settings.

I hit "START", and nothing..  ??

Is there a button that I have to hit on the Z1 unit?

Couldn't find the Z1 forum here, sorry if in wrong area.

Thank you, looking forward to this Z1 being added to my system.

  N31 energy value integer values
Posted by: np.nagypeter@gmail.com - 01-19-2026, 12:38 PM - Forum: N30 - Replies (1)

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to request technical assistance regarding the Kincony N30 power monitoring controller. I am currently using the device with ESPHome via the Modbus interface (reading the BL0910 chips).

While the device is functioning correctly in terms of connectivity, I have encountered a significant limitation regarding energy consumption data.

The Issue: The Modbus energy registers (e.g., addresses 140, 142, etc., for Chip 1) only return integer values. Even when the sensors are configured to display 3 or more decimal places in ESPHome, the
data received from the device is always a whole number (e.g., 0.000 kWh, 1.000 kWh).

Technical Details:
Device: Kincony N30 (ESP32-S3 with W5500 Ethernet).
Interface: Modbus RTU over UART.

Observations: The Voltage (V) and Power (W) registers provide high-resolution data with correct decimals. However, the Energy (kWh) registers do not seem to transmit fractional increments.

Log evidence: My logs confirm the device is sending states like 0.00000 kWh even when a load is active, and only jumps to the next whole number after a full kWh has been consumed.
Example log snippet: [sensor:135]: 'bl0910_1_energy_1': Sending state 0.00000 kWh with 3 decimals of accuracy

My Questions:
Does the current firmware of the Kincony N30 support fractional energy readings (e.g., Wh or 0.001 kWh increments) via Modbus? Is there a specific multiplier or a different register address I should use to obtain higher-resolution energy data? Is there a firmware update available that addresses this resolution limitation?

Thank you for your assistance!
