Hello admin,
 I have the B16 ESP32-S3 controller and I want to connect it to Home Assistant using a regular mqtt configuration (not using MQTT (For Home Assistant)). 
This is what I'm trying, but it's not working:
    - name: " output-1 "
      unique_id: output-1
      state_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state'
      command_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set'
      payload_on:  '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
      payload_off:  '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
      value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
      state_on: 1
      state_off: 0

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

Hello!
So I bought A32 device, and I want it to drive my blinds. First I tried with original KCS firmware. While hardware is pretty decent, the firmware unfortunately seems to be half-baked
Questions/issues I have -

1) I couldn't find any option to save/restore configuration from device. If you need to configure all relays on device with so many ports - it extremally inconvenient to re-configure everything you are trying new firmware (or just updating it). Or maybe Im just missing something ?

2) I want to configure slightly more complex behavior for this board - 
I have momentary buttons (up/down), so I wanted to 
a) run motor only when button is pressed
b) with long-click - open/close roller completely
c) with double-click - open/close to 50% 

I tried to use rising/falling edge detection for start/stop motor, - this works, but then I cannot configure any other functions like longclick or doubleclick

4) "Jogging" functionality seems not working in this firmware at all, or I just dont know how to configure it.

5) I was able to find only v2  (KCS_KC868_A32_V2.2.13.zip)  of KCS firmware for this device , maybe there is some update with fixes for my above issues ?

Hello!
Does anyone have experience with EspEasy (www.letscontrolit.com) firmware running on this device ?
I recently bought A32 with intention to use it for my roller blinds, but I have some issues with KCK firmware (will create separate thread for my questions).
Anyway - I managed to upload espeasy firmware, it runs - but WiFi connection is not working. On serial console it prints:

03.872 : (265688) Info  : WIFI : Arduino wifi status: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED
03.885 : (260688) Info  : Webserver: start
05.229 : (260428) Info  : WD  : Uptime 0  ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 260560 WiFiStatus: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED

I tried few firmware files but with no luck. So question is - is this board require some special setting to enable wifi ? Something like set some gpio or something else ?

Hello,

I see that the number of custom protocols is limited at 64. This is not enough for a board with 128 inputs and 128 outputs.

I need at least 4 protocols per digital input (click, double click, hold ...)

Please advice,
Gabi

Hello again,

I have the KC868-a6-v1.3sp and a pressure sensor (0..150 psi / 0.5..4.5 V). I noticed my values were being capped at about 40 psi / 1.5 V. 
I verified with my fluke loop calibrator, and indeed have a limit at 1.5 V.

The image below shows the raw value being capped at 1.01.
I tried moving the input to the second, but I received the exact same values (capped).

Below code is used for both test with input 36 and 39.

You have any recommendations

Hello.

Working on a project with LED output necessary. Have loaded your firmware if I turn on any put on 9-16 LED light up...Connected to output 9

Ground of LED on 9 common on 3v.

Hi!

I have flashed my KC868-A6 V1 with   v2.2.12.bin file.

I can access the board through 192.168.4.1 and login.

After I change for example mqtt settings and restart I can not access the board anymore. Same thing happens when I add my Wifi-settings and restart. I cannot find the board and seems like it jams after every saved settings and have to reflash.

Any ideas?


I have purchased the board from Aliexpress (Kincony Controller Store).

Hi,

I'm configuring a IFFT rule to activate DO if temperature up (DHT22).

The problem is that I need configure from 27.5, but the system only works on 27 or 28.

I've got my A8 nicely working with ESPHome and HomeAssistant with a variety of dry-contact inputs (contact-sensors, etc).

I'm trying to have one of the outputs of my Unifi DoorHub so that when my unifi G3 doorbell button is pressed, the doorhub's "chime" functionality is used to send a signal, via my Kincony 868-A8 to home assistant to take various actions (to alert anyone in the house that the doorbell is ringing).

As far as I understand, and have measured, the Unifi doorHub will increase the voltage on its output from 0V to 12V for a few seconds when this happens.

I've wired that to my Kincony A8 (both the normal digital inputs 1-8 and the S3/S4), but neither seems to trigger anything. (Note "wired" = tied unifi common output to Kincony GND, and the Unifi NO output (which switches from 0V to 12V) to either D1 or S3.

How do I get the A8 to see a voltage shift from 0 to 12V as a 0->1 binary sensor?  What wiring and/or ESPHome code is needed to achieve this?

thanks for any help...

Vince.

Pleased to have the M30 all up and running as expected on a dozen-plus DC loads (12V and 24V). But a few of the loads are over 10A - some as high as 30A - and I'd still like to monitor them. 

It looks to me like the KinCony CTs are only for alternating current? (https://shop.kincony.com/products/25a-cu...eter-board)

Is there a DC option? If so, is there one I can purchase directly? Or a specific part / part-number to look for? 


Alternatively, would I be better off trying to interface RS485 to a separate device of some sort? I see options for JXT CTs with RS485 as another option. 


Thank you.
