Posted by: skench - 02-08-2025, 01:40 AM - Forum: KinCony A24 - Replies (3)

Good day, I drew the diagram using the site https://app.diagrams.net/

Dear friend, please tell me if I understand the diagram for connecting the power socket pcorrectly?

Is it possible to do without a contactor and use only a machine?

  A note on network device addresses
Posted by: twostar - 02-07-2025, 08:57 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

I've just discovered, through trial and error, that at least MQTT servers don't need to be specified by IP address but can also be specified by DNS name.  So in the Protocol -> General page, for the MQTT Broker Address, you can enter mqtt://mosquitto.lan instead of mqtt://192.168.1.200 (or whatever) and it'll work fine.  This is quite convenient since you no longer have to hardcode in IP addresses for everything.

  Ethernet and Bluetooth both enabled in ESP Home at the same time
Posted by: kennedyed - 02-06-2025, 08:26 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hi There,

I have recently started using the KC868-A16 board and it is an excellent board.
I have loaded it with ESP Home and it is working well.
It is connected to my network via Ethernet for reliability and I also wish to enable Bluetooth on the board so as to use it as a gateway for BLE sensors in ESP Home and Home Assistant.
Do you know is it possible to use Bluetooth and Ethernet in the same ESP Home configuration on the KC868-A16 board?
I know W-Fi and Bluetooth  can work at the same time but I want use Ethernet as Wi-Fi coverage is poor at the location.

If I can use Ethernet and Bluetooth would you have an example ESP Home configuration for Bluetooth?

Thanks,

Ed.

  KC868-H32BS connecting with external relays / switches
Posted by: fernandobandeira - 02-06-2025, 04:24 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (5)

I currently have 2 panels with some 16a Finder (20.21.9.024.4000) 24v dc relays, these relays controls some lights and blinds, the blinds have a sequencing to it (open, pause, close, pause, open) currently they are being toggled by a switch/interruptor.

I've watched some videos from kincony and looks like I could use the kc868-h32bs, I guess my question is if this is the best option, I basically want to make these relays available on alexa, and it feels like I'd connect the existing switches to the inputs from the kc868-h32bs and then the output would go to the finder relay. is there another way of achieving this? My concern is making sure that the board knows when the relay is on/off as it needs to know if the lights are turned on / off to work properly.

the problem though is that connecting the switch to the board directly would leave it without a backup in case the board has any issues, so it wouldnt be possible to control the lights directly in that case, I wanted to have a backup if possible, I'm not sure if theres a way of the board detecting the relay state otherwise

(Im a software engineer, so not too familliar with hardware, any help is appreciated, I wanna make sure I order the right products for the setup)

Attaching a photo of one of my panels.

Wink KC868-A8M reading Ethernet data
Posted by: MWDH - 02-05-2025, 09:27 PM - Forum: KC868-A8M - Replies (10)

Hello Community,

I want to use the KC868-A8M to do the following:

  • use it as Wifi AP (Which is easy and I have accomplished) to have access with my phone
  • read data with the KC868-A8M from a web server from another device via Ethernet (Ethernet is connected to another device which creates the web server)
  • red data via http get requests

Now the question: Am I able to configure all the get requests in the KCS software and use the answers / data in the IFTTT section? This would make it very easy to program logic to the KC868-A8M.
Or do I need to program my own code in the Arduino IDE to create get requests and react accordingly?

If there is a simple solution, I would be very happy to learn about it, since this will be super helpful in one of my projects.

Thank you very much![Image: smile.png]
Best wishes
Max

  A24 Where DAC?
Posted by: skench - 02-05-2025, 08:52 PM - Forum: KinCony A24 - Replies (6)

Good day, admin, please tell me, do you have a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLUGJtZg1aQ, the description says the following "how to slove A32 Pro/A24 DAC dimmer"

However, I do not see the inscription on the case as for the A32 PRO DA1 and DA2 in the lower right corner of the case is located on the A32 Pro

So does the KinCony A24 https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005006364867...757axPMWYQ 
have dimmer control? If so, where are the inscriptions?

Thanks

  KC868A6
Posted by: Chris89 - 02-04-2025, 07:37 PM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

I have bought a kincony 868A6. The first time, red led power in on and 6 other red leds are blinking and clicking. I have a 12V power. But now only the red led power is on. No blinking and no clicking for the 6 red leds.
Unpossible to use flashtools. The board is recognized whan i put the usb. But nothing other. Is the board out of order? I try to reset it with the button. Nothing.
What can i do? Send to the seller? thanks for your answer
