Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and new to ESP/Home Assistant.
I have a mushroom cultivation tent where I use a humidifier, blower motors, LED lights, sensors, and an electric heater.
Currently, I control the climate using WiFi-connected sensors, but I would like to fully automate all devices and manage them using Home Assistant (I already have a server and WiFi infrastructure set up).
I'm unsure which Kincony controller would be the best choice, so I’d appreciate your advice. I've attached a diagram showing the devices I want to connect to the controller.

List of devices and required functions in Home Assistant:

• Electric Heater (PTC 1.5 kW): Turn on/off based on the temperature sensor.
  
• Humidity, Temperature, and CO2 Sensor: Read and monitor sensor data.
  
• UV Lamp (in humidifier water container): Activate for short intervals (e.g., every 10 seconds).
  
• Blower Motor: Adjust fan speed based on CO2 sensor readings.
  
• LED Lights: Run for 12 hours daily with adjustable intensity.
  
• Humidifier: Turn on/off based on the humidity sensor.

Just received the board, no problem setting up!
Is it possible to add a Neopixel light strip for a self made indicator of the input pins status? (green/red for on/off). That would require just one free GPIO. From what I understand there are no free GPIO pins on V2 of the board, just the new V3.
Are the 3 HT pin inputs only for temperature/humidity?
Thanks for your time!

Hello everyone,

I recently installed 2 cards module A32 Pro into my electric cabinet, and they come as usual without firmware, when I turn on the card the dispay shows A32 Pro

I tried to connect via USBC-USBC cable to my laptop, but the port is not reconginzed on my windows device manager, and since the port is not physical viable, I won't be able to load the firmware app to load the software.

I turned off the card, press on the DL button, and Turn on the card and then released the DL botton in order to boot the card in bootloader mode, Yet this couldn't help in finding the COM port on my device.

My Computer is fine, and so is the Cable, i used same cable and same computer on F16 card, and i's worked smoothly without any issues.

Please advice I need help.

Thank you,
Rani

Hi,

For the next revision of KCS firmware V2, would Kincony consider adding an operation log of input and output states? This would be very helpful for troubleshooting.

Can I use the Bosch isc-bpr2-wp12 motion sensor with a NC contact with the KC868-A16 board? 


I guess I need to give it the 12V input on +/- and wire the NC contact to GND and a dry contact input?

here is demo config file for access control panel. control OUTPUT1 or OUTPUT3 by INPUT NUMBER "101#" and "102#" by touch panel.
   
   
   

Hi all,
first I`m not a programmer or software guy I just want to use my KinCony A16S 16 Channel ESP32 for switching the relay outputs.

First problem is how do I connect the board with LAN ? I connected it to PC and I see a ethernet but I can`t get access to the IP 192.168.1.200
Second I want to use Tuya I leard that I have put in the purchased code but first I have to connect but this failed.

So any help hwo to connect to the board with PC over LAN are very welcome. I searched for document or video but did not find anything.

regards 

It would be very useful if you could add more feature like auxiliary memory (internal registers), or similar functionality, to IFTTT's inputs and outputs this will be significantly enhanced its capabilities. Just as auxiliary memory is crucial in PLCs for temporarily storing data and managing conditional logic during program execution, it could bring similar benefits to IFTTT. This would allow for more complex and nuanced automations based on stored states and data.

By the way, from my understanding the IFTTT function you have provided can work without internet connection, right?

Hello Forum colleagues,

I am trying to set the KC868_A8M up, so it performs HTTP Get requests from an API server.
I want to do it via Ethernet (Not Wifi) in a local server.
According to the LAN example code I can get the ETehrnet connection to work, I am also able to ping the device and get a response.

I am struggling with the HTTP GEt requests though:
HTTP Error code: -1

Is there an example code doing the same thing? Or are there any hints on what I am doing wrong?

After updating ESPhome builder in HA.  The device can no longer be updated. Something goes wrong with LED.
