  KC868-A2 watchdog
Posted by: apps4check - 06-21-2025, 05:11 PM - Forum: KC868-A2 - Replies (1)

Hello. Does KC868-A2 (with "KCS" firmware) have a hardware or software watchdog?

  KinCony B8M ESP32-S3 Smart Controller released
Posted by: admin - 06-21-2025, 04:07 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

KinCony B8M ESP32 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. Support 8 channel MOSFET output, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 3 free GPIOs, 4 channel ADS1115 16bit analog input ports. One SD card using SPI bus. B8M include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and Tuya connection state. B8M have I2C bus extender and RS485 port. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. B8M use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. B8M support Apple HomeKit, easy to use directly. Support save state LOG to SD Card. It use by local RTC clock, use timer work without internet. B8M support to use KinCony cloud server service, so that you can remote control and monitor your device by internet using mobile phone or computer web browser. note: (buy from KinCony Official Shop have KinCony cloud server 2 years free)

  [arduino code examples for B8M]-09 how to communication with Tuya WiFi module
Posted by: admin - 06-21-2025, 04:00 AM - Forum: B8M - No Replies

Code:
/*
* Made by KinCony IoT: https://www.kincony.com
*
* This Arduino program implements communication between ESP32 and the Tuya module
* via UART (serial communication). It listens for specific packets from the Tuya module
* and responds according to the predefined commands.
*
* Functionality:
* 1. When the ESP32 receives a heartbeat packet (55 AA 00 00 00 00 FF),
*    it sends a heartbeat response (55 AA 03 00 00 01 00 03).
* 2. When the ESP32 receives a product information request (55 AA 00 01 00 00 00),
*    it sends a product information response (55 AA 03 01 ...).
* 3. When the ESP32 receives a work mode request (55 AA 00 02 00 00 01),
*    it sends a work mode response (55 AA 03 02 00 03 10 1C 14 47).
* 4. When the ESP32 receives a network status request (55 AA 00 03 00 01 00 03),
*    it sends a network status response (55 AA 03 03 00 00 05).
* 5. Subsequent heartbeat packets (55 AA 00 00 00 00 FF) are responded to with
*    (55 AA 03 00 00 01 01 04).
