  Assistance with RS485 Communication via KC868-A16 & Wemos D1
Posted by: Bastn - 03-28-2025, 09:37 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

Hi,
I currently have the following setup:

  • Wemos D1 (ESP8266) connected to the Wi-Fi network.
  • KC868-A16 connected to the Wi-Fi network, running KCS firmware V2.
  • RS485 I/O module (25IOB16) connected to the KC868-A16 via RS485 (A/B).
I want to be able to read and write the inputs and outputs of the RS485 I/O module (25IOB16) using:
  • or IFTTT through the KC868-A16.
  • orA Wemos D1 (ESP8266) running Arduino code, connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the KC868-A16.
Issues I’m Facing:
  • I am unable to send or receive RS485 commands via IFTTT on the KC868-A16. (not supported by software?)
  • I am unable to send or receive RS485 commands from a small web UI on the Wemos D1 to the RS485 I/O module (25IOB16).
Objective:
I am looking to replace my current PLC, which simply toggles outputs based on input signals in my house.
Could you provide guidance on how to achieve this?
Thanks!

  KC868-A16 - Custom Form Wifimanager Root content
Posted by: venuakil2 - 03-27-2025, 09:55 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hi All,
I am trying to add new form to root page and configure the form as per my requirements. 

Please check below sample code is not working. 

And send me Latest Arduino IDE wifimanager sample example  code. 





#include <WiFiManager.h>          // https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager
#include <FS.h>
#include <SPIFFS.h>
const char* htmlFile = "/index.html";
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
 
  // Initialize SPIFFS
  if (!SPIFFS.begin(true)) {
    Serial.println("An Error has occurred while mounting SPIFFS");
    return;
  }
  // Create WiFiManager instance
  WiFiManager wifiManager;
  // Set custom root page handler
  wifiManager.setCustomHeadElement("<style>body{background-color:#f0f0f0;}</style>");
  wifiManager.setAPCallback([](WiFiManager *wm) {
    // This runs when AP mode is started
 
   
   // Add custom route handler for root page
    wm->server->on("/", HTTP_GET, [wm]() {
      if (SPIFFS.exists(htmlFile)) {
        File file = SPIFFS.open(htmlFile, "r");
        if (file) {
          wm->server->sendHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip"); // If file is compressed
          wm->server->streamFile(file, "text/html");
          file.close();
          return;
        }
      }
      // Fallback to default if file not found
      wm->server->send(200, "text/html",
        "<html><body><h1>WiFi Config</h1>"
        "<p>Please connect to WiFi network</p>"
        "<p>Then configure your settings</p></body></html>");
    });
  });
  // Start WiFiManager
  if (!wifiManager.autoConnect("MyAP")) {
    Serial.println("Failed to connect");
   //////////// ESP.restart();
  }
  Serial.println("Connected!");
}
void loop() {
  // Your code here

  Hoping to create an SPI bus
Posted by: clarencelocke - 03-26-2025, 09:48 PM - Forum: KC868-A64 - Replies (1)

Would it be possible (by re-flashing the device with ESPHome) to repurpose the GPIO pins used for the RS-485 serial interface and one of the I2C buses to be used instead as an SPI bus?

  G1 connection problem to KC868-A16v3
Posted by: classiccars - 03-26-2025, 04:08 PM - Forum: G1 - Replies (9)

I get no Test SMS going out via A16v3

Test SMS with standalone G1 worked, so SIM ist OK.

Connected G1 GPIO 13 (TX) with A16v3 GPIO 40 (RX)
Connected G1 GPIO 14 (RX) with A16v3 GPIO 39 (TX)

Network/GSM is enabled on A16v3
GSM Bridge is enabled on G1



What might be wrong?

  G1 Incoming Call Handling
Posted by: Bodad - 03-26-2025, 11:12 AM - Forum: G1 - Replies (1)

Hi,

I've recently taken delivery of a G1 and it's working as per your YouTube videos. My application is as a gate opener, so I have a few requests for development into the KCS interface:

  1. Add an option to reject (ie hang up) incoming calls once the CallerId has been captured (simple enabled/disabled switch).
  2. Add the option of creating a "whitelist" of incoming numbers which are "allowed".  If the CallerId is in the whitelist, it gets passed on via whichever protocol is used.  Ideally, it would be helpful to have a name associated with the number so that it's easier to work out who is on the list and not.
  3. Add the name from the whitelist to the CallerId e.g.

           { 
               "call_ring": {
                       "phone": "+8612345678901", 
                       "name": "Kincony Test"
               } 
            }

      4. Add MQTT to the IFTTT protocol as both an input and output.

Thank you,

Bodad

  Question:AS. Improving AI Voice for Medication Management System on ESP32 S3
Posted by: Abdullah-alanazi - 03-25-2025, 11:45 PM - Forum: KinCony AS - Replies (1)


Hi everyone,

I’ve recently bought an AI assistant product and watched a YouTube video about it. However, I’m not satisfied with the AI’s voice in the video. I want the voice to be more efficient and soothing for a medication management system I’m working on. My plan is to integrate this AI into a medication box where it will help remind users to take their medication.

I know it’s challenging to make it sound like Alexa, but I want it to be clear, effective, and user-friendly. How can I improve the code to make the voice sound better and more suitable for this purpose?

Also, I’m wondering if there’s a way to integrate machine learning into this system to make it smarter over time. I’m a beginner and still have a lot to learn, so any help would be appreciated.

The AI assistant I’m using is based on the ESP32 S3 Wroom 1U. Would it be possible to switch to a Raspberry Pi 4instead? If so, how would I go about doing that? I like the ESP32 because it has an SD card, microphone, speaker, and I2S, which are all useful for my project. But I’m unsure of what to do next.

OR is there a solution easy one I didn't see?
Please help!

  T16M discovery on linux
Posted by: Kleingy - 03-25-2025, 04:50 PM - Forum: T16M - Replies (1)

Hello,

I flash m'y T16M with the esp tools in Ubuntu following the procedure I found on the forum.
I put the KCS V3 firmware

But now when I plug the board to my router I am not able to find the ip. The orange led in ethernet port on the board blink. The green one is off.

I can not use the discovery tool, because I am on linux.
Do you have a tool to recommande.

I also search to connect to the wifi Access point. But It does not appear. I read that I have to press a button to re enable the wifi Access point, but which button (I saw dw and reset near antenna), and how to proceed (press before power on, at anytime...).

Thanks for your help
