  How to uses sensors with v3 firmware
Posted by: twostar - 04-10-2025, 01:23 PM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - Replies (13)

I'm having trouble using DHT22 sensors with the v3 firmware, with the v2 firmware you just set sensor ID 1, type DHT22 and it worked.  With the v3 firmware it looks like you need to set a GPIO address but there's no indication for what this should be, and trying the first one, 47, bricked the board. How do you set up a DHT22 (or any other sensor) on the 1-wire GPIO ports?

  KinCony TA Smart Tiny Alarm System released
Posted by: admin - 04-10-2025, 01:09 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

KinCony TA (Tiny Alarm System) ESP32-S3 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip and Tuya module. It have 12 channel digital input (12-zone) and 2 channel relay output for sirens or strobe lights, 12 channel 1-wire GPIOs, DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip.TA added Power over Ethernet (PoE). TA have RS485 port and RF433MHz RF receiver. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino 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. TA use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support Apple HomeKit. Tuya mobile phone APP remote monitor 12 channel digital input port state, 12 channel temperature sensors and control 2 channel relay by internet.

I am using a kincony A16v3 board for my project. I have tried to upload my arduino code to the board. But the code is not uploading. I have powered the board with 12v supply. And have connected the board to my pc via usb type c cable. 

Chosen nodemcu 32s in boards. But its not working. How to check what have gone wrong ?. Or if any further details required, let me know

Question A16v3 low voltage inputs
Posted by: jaydubnz - 04-09-2025, 05:58 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (8)

Hi guys,

I have PIR sensors all over the house connected to an old alarm system. The voltage on the NO contacts are between 1.5v to 3v, which I think is too low for the digital inputs 1 to 16 to register as ON.
I know I can connect to the 5 analog inputs, which does detect the low voltage, but I have ~15 sensors. Is there a way to make these low voltage PIR sensors detectable on digital inputs 1 to 16? Without using a ton of dry contact relays haha

Thank you in advance!

Photo Kilcony RS-485 SHT30 Sensor - Setting MODBUS Address
Posted by: egionet - 04-08-2025, 11:18 PM - Forum: Customer project example - Replies (2)

Hello,

I tried changing the MODBUS address from MODBUS ID 1 to 15 on the RS-485 SHT30 temperature and relative humidity module through a function 6 write, disconnected the connector for 5 to 10 seconds, reconnected the connector, and polled the sensor over MODBUS. However, the device only responds to MODBUS ID 1, but I can see the updated MODBUS address in register 0x0a as 0x0F.
   
Is there another setting that has to be configured?

  Issues with STA mode
Posted by: DavidSzilasi - 04-07-2025, 07:53 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (2)

Hello!

I recently purchased a KC868-a16 and Im in the process of exploring the KCS server. Yesterday I successfully downloaded the firmware onto the board and was able to scan the ethernet network of the board. I used the eth IP to sign into the website but when I switch the networks setting from AP to STA, there was no STA Wifi IP address after refresh. Can you please advise me on what I may be doing wrong.

Thank you!

  adding KC868-HA RS485 zo HA or ESPHome
Posted by: saymyname - 04-07-2025, 07:06 PM - Forum: KC868-HA /HA v2 - Replies (15)

Hi,

i have succefully integrate board A16V3 via MQTT auto discovery to Homeassistant. But i didnt found how can i add now KC868-HAv2. If i create new device in ESPHome and copy data from github:
https://github.com/hzkincony/esphome-kc868-ha

I cant install it, ESP gives me error:


Failed config
'esphome' section missing from configuration. Please make sure your configuration has an 'esphome:' line in it.

Do i also need to add main board A16V3 to ESP home and just add those lines to config file of A16V3, or can KC868-HAv2 be add as standalone?

  M30 CT ratio
Posted by: Linus68 - 04-07-2025, 02:29 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (5)

Hi

I need to use other CT with different CT ratio.
In ESPHome I can Change IT.
But need IT in the Webpage (stand alone use).
IS IT planed to integrate IT in the UI?
Or IS the source Code available?

BR
