  KC868-A2 V2.4 +SIM7600E-L1C
Posted by: ktmustafa - 07-25-2024, 02:43 PM - Forum: KC868-A2 - Replies (6)

Hello,
I used the KC868-A2 AT debug code to test the connection with the SIM7600E-L1C module. However, I did not get any response... The serial monitor keeps showing " Initializing... " only. Code as below. I would appreciate it if you could help solve this issue.

Thank you

Code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Arduino.h>

SoftwareSerial gsmSerial(5, 13); ////Rx, Tx for SMS Modem

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  gsmSerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Initializing...");
  delay(1000);
  gsmSerial.println("AT");
  updateSerial();
  delay(3000);
 
}

void updateSerial()
{
  delay(1000);
  while (Serial.available())
  {
    gsmSerial.write(Serial.read());//Forward what Serial received to Software Serial Port
  }
  while(gsmSerial.available())
  {
    Serial.write(gsmSerial.read());//Forward what Software Serial received to Serial Port
  }
}

  KC868-AIO LOXONE
Posted by: vosn1992 - 07-25-2024, 01:12 PM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (3)

Hi , 

i am trying to integrate my KC868-AIO into my loxone system . 

i am new to this so i am having some problems. 

i have done this so far : 

pc and Kincony AIO are connected to the same acces point. 

i can acces the AIO tru ESPhome . 
   
when i configure the AIO there i can find the AIO in my wireless network
i was able to connect with the download tool so the firmware V2 could be installed but there i get stuck

the download is succesful
   

but then i can not do anything .

if i use the scan device tool i can not find the kincony 
and the wireless signal of the kincony is gone until i re install it with the esphome "install for first use". 

i am sure i am making some silly fault but unexperienced me is stuck at the moment Smile

  KC-868 AIO
Posted by: ionutgd - 07-25-2024, 07:51 AM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (1)

Hi!
I received my new AIO!!!
Nice and fun. I managed to create the yaml file from your example Smile 
All work fine but .... I have a curiosity. is a way to let say "map" digital input 1 to output 1?

My scenario:

I want to user "click" buttons to turn on the light, connected to a digital input.
When I press the button 1/ digital input 1, I want taht output 1 to turn on.
If the output 1 is on, when I press the button, I want that output 1 to turn off.


I'm using Home Assistant.

Thank You!


Never mind!!

I figured out !

binary_sensor:
- platform: gpio
name: "aio--input1"
pin:
pcf8574: pcf8574_hub_in_1
number: 0
mode: INPUT
inverted: true
on_press:
then:
- switch.toggle: aio_light1


switch:
- platform: gpio
name: "aio--light1"
id: aio_light1
pin:
pcf8574: pcf8574_hub_out_1
number: 0
mode: OUTPUT
inverted: true


Thank You!

  KC868-A32 I2C communication with arduino
Posted by: SixSixOne - 07-24-2024, 01:13 PM - Forum: KC868-A32/A32 Pro - Replies (1)

I've purchased a KC868-A32 module and its functionallity is as expected.

I try to implement an I2C communication between the KC868-A32 module and an arduino device in order to control PWD IOs of the arduino through the KC868-A32 module (i.e. through Home assistant).

Could you please provide some instructions or an example on the code for the arduino device?

Thank you in advance

Good morning everyone,
I'll start by saying that I'm completely ignorant of esp32 and it's my first experience. I have home hassistant on raspberry and I would like to show the sensors I have on the French windows.
I have 8 sensors, 2 PIRs, 2 sirens, 1 inserter, 1 keypad, 1 armored door sensor all wired. I also have 5 radio sensors and 2 radio pirs. Is the KC868-A16 model ok? Does anyone have a guide on how I can connect and configure everything to see all the various sensors on the home assistant?

  Forum vs. spambots
Posted by: xray - 07-23-2024, 08:31 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (1)

Hello Kincony,

I would suggest to do something with the forum configuration. It is getting useless with the thousands of deleted spam threads and in between one or two normal forum topic.
It is getting really difficult to find and read the valuable information in the forum.

You just need to put some control to prevent spambots.

Some suggestions:
- Captcha, reCAPTCHA, Hidden captcha, etc..
- Moderate first post for each user.
- complex registration questions
- new users manual activation

Anyone any other ideas?

Is there any plan to do something against these spammers?

thanks

  No RS485 on output KC868 A2
Posted by: AdamJC - 07-23-2024, 12:26 AM - Forum: KC868-A2 - Replies (4)

Hi Kincony,
I hope you are well.

I have recently purchased the KC868-A2 via AliExpress.
This is a great device with ethernet and RS485. It is a very fine unit. It joins my KC868-A4 and KC868-A8 in my systems.

This unit was purchased to interface with ModBus water meters at a remote site.
This has been progressing well until I had a problem making the RS485 work.

The board is KC868-A2-V2.4. I notice this is slightly different to the circuit diagram on the website which is made for V2.3. I am not sure if this is part of my problem as I might be testing incorrect pins?

My issue is I cannot see RS485 waveforms at the output.
In my fault finding I traced back and looked at the signal at several points:
1. P6 9H connector on the "A and B" points. No signal during transmit.
2. I checked the output of MAX13487ELSA (pin 6 and pin 7) to find no output during transmit.
3. The output of the ESP32 Pin 8 shows the ModBus command (Siglent Storage Oscilloscope).
4. I checked input of  MAX13487ELSA (pin 4 to gnd)  to see the RS485 signal coming from the ESP32 Pin 8. It is good level. The ESP32 is running latest version Tasmota 14.1.0 and the UI confirms that the ModBus signals are working (this I think means the code is correct).

I see that the Pin 2 and pin 3 of the MAX13487 are held high (measures 5.2V) and so the device should present data on the RS485 oututs Pin6 and 5. There is no signal at A &B on P6 during transmit.

Do you have anysuggestions as to what is happening? 
I am doing something incorrect or is there possibly a fault?

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Rgds

Adam

  A16 Configure RC 16 CH buttons Home Assist
Posted by: Bigh - 07-22-2024, 04:41 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hi.
I want to activate the 16-channel remote control and it is necessary to configure the buttons on the remote control as well as the settings for RF. 
The controller is linked to HOME Assistant.
I defined the RF channels in the YAML file, but I can't find where I can map the buttons of the remote.
I also don't find that the HOME ASSISTANT recognizes the remote.
Thanks for the help.

Where can I find the examples that are promised? The examples with the KC868 Arduino library do not show how to use the network port or the rf433 connections.

I mean these:

  KC868-A8
Posted by: vinicius.marthes - 07-22-2024, 03:33 AM - Forum: Development - Replies (8)

Hello, I bought a KC868-A8, but in my excitement I ended up connecting it directly to the USB and cell phone charger. It is visible via USB but does not record anything. At startup, it does not test the relays, it just flashes the lights quickly, but the pilot light works. I've already replaced the IC CH340C, tested the components in the USB and 12v input circuits but I can't find out what else could have burned out. I would be grateful if someone could help me. Thanks.
