Sad Relays on ESPHome not working
Posted by: CHILE19 - 03-12-2025, 10:25 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (8)

Hey everyone!! 
I just configure my brand new KC868-A16 REV 1.6 on EspHome with this code:

Code:
esphome:
  name: calefaccion-central
  friendly_name: Calefaccion Central

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

# Enable logging
logger:
  level: VERY_VERBOSE

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  encryption:
    key: "WXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXnEgY="

ota:
  - platform: esphome
    password: "ca97bdfXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXdab073"

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Calefaccion-Central"
    password: "69NT2lnfj2Kd"

captive_portal:

i2c:
  sda: GPIO4
  scl:
    number: GPIO5
    ignore_strapping_warning: true

pcf8574:

  - id: outputs_1_8
    address: 0x24
    pcf8575: false

switch:

  - platform: gpio
    name: "sw_caldera"
    id: sw_caldera #1
    pin:
      pcf8574: outputs_1_8
      number: 0
      mode: OUTPUT
      inverted: true


I erase all the unecesary code.

The board seams to work ok, but I cant get the realys to work.
Here is the log from ESPHome:

  KC868-AG board type
Posted by: powerup - 03-12-2025, 01:33 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (3)

Hi,

i am programming myself the KC868-AG, i bought 2 units. 1 of them died after 1-2hrs, the other unit is working fine. The first one is giving USB device not recognized. Same cable is working fine for the other device.

Q1: what chip do I choose for this device.
Q2: what is the memory limit of this device, does it have enough space for OTA updates and save many RF signals?

Thank you.

  Additional GPIO
Posted by: Amaral989 - 03-11-2025, 02:45 AM - Forum: KC868-A4S - Replies (3)

Hello, 

I have two questions. 
First question, I have damaged the GPIO1 by having to many volts. It probably reached 7-8 volts. I'm using GPIO 1 and GPIO 2 as pulse counters. GPIO1 stopped working and will not read any more pulses. GPIO 2 still works. 

Are there any additional GPIO that I can use for pulse counting. I'm not using Wi-Fi, 485, or SIM module. If it's possible, where are the additional GPIOs located? And will be using a voltage divider to drop voltage down to 1 volt.

Second question, for the digital inputs. I was hoping it would trigger with 12volts. But it seems it will only trigger with ground. The reasoning is that i am using this in a camper van and I get 12-14volt DC as trigger. But it doesnt trigger, only with ground. 


Thanks again, 
John A
