  SD-Card in KC868-A16v3
Posted by: classiccars - 03-17-2025, 11:13 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

I find no infos how the SD card works.
Is it just to safe log files?
To read the log files I must remove the card or is there any other way to access the datas?

  New House Smart distribution box
Posted by: Erazer - 03-16-2025, 06:12 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (16)

Hello,

I am building a new house and will like to create a smart system for all the lights and wall plugs in the house that includes many ESP32 sensors (humidity, temperature, magnetic, movement etc...) that could be used by home assistant in automation.
Also I am in a budget since there are many expanses with the new house and I will like to see if I can use the following setup:
1. Two KC868-A16v3 ESP32-S3 16 channel GPIO module that comunicate between eachother.
2. Each board will be used to controll a KC868-E16v2 relay board or a contactor. (Not sure which one will be the better option)
3. One board will be use for lights and the other board will be used for wall power outlets.
4  Also LEDs will be used in the house that need to be able to dim if needed.
5. I would like for the light switches to work also without HA but also to have a backup plan to make them work. (Ex to connect them also teleruptor so that it will work even if the A16 or A32 boards will be turned off or burned.)
6. Could perhaps A32 board be a better option for controlling the lights?


Can you please confirm if the board mentioned above are the correct ones or maybe could you please suggest a better architecture that I could use to design the the electrical grid of the house?

Really appreciate of help on this matter,
Erazer

  Voltage in Analag Input for trigger? KC868-A16v3
Posted by: classiccars - 03-16-2025, 11:45 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (5)

Hi,
I try to use an analog input to trigger an output by IFTTT.
Doesnt work, I tryd all kinds of settings.
Monitor shows input when I put 3,3 Volts on analog input but I can not manage to get an output triggered

What do I wrong?
My goal is to get more than 16 inputs using the analog inputs for a switched voltage.

  What is the Minimal Power Consumption for A16 board
Posted by: vovo500 - 03-16-2025, 08:17 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (4)

Hi,

I read that the A16 board requires 1,5A power supply.
However, what is the minimal power consumption of the board?

My requirements are implementable with the ESP32 in deep sleep mode most of the time.
It would be good to implement high availability.
So, for the ESP32, I could implement a USV with a small lithium battery.
How about the periphery?
How much power does it need?
Is it possible to switch of the periphery (I/O pins, USB port, Network)via software? 

Thank you

  Use case - possible?
Posted by: CG25 - 03-16-2025, 07:54 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (7)

Can I use the product for this use case:

- recieve RS232 signals from external source for open/close of the relay
- attach OLED screen and configure display myself
- read signal from distance sensor (ultrasonic analog / laser digital)
- read temperature to adjust ultrasonic measurement (hot/cold air)
- send measurements to server via HTTPS over LAN

  multiple power distribution boxes
Posted by: daniel45 - 03-15-2025, 10:54 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (1)

Hi all,

Thanks to join your forum.

I'm preparing a home installation based on HOME ASSISTANT using KC868 with rapsberry.

I need multiple power distribution boxes in different buildings based on :

One main power box ( with KC868)
3 remote connection power boxes. (with relays and analog input )

So, could you help me on which  communication hardware and protocol  I can use ? ( cables CAT 6 are dispached between each boxes.).

Hope my explaination are clear . Big Grin

Great thanks

Daniel

  Inquiry About Sensor Compatibility with the Board
Posted by: engrezk - 03-15-2025, 07:06 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (1)

The water level sensor is malfunctioning and has three terminals: two for 12 volts (one positive and one negative) and one for data. The new locally available sensor, however, has only two terminals: one for 12 volts positive and one for the data point. I will attach pictures for reference. My question is: should I connect the positive terminal to the 12-volt power source and the data terminal to the data point on the board? Is this the correct approach?

Does anybody know wich firmware I must use for the KC868-A16v3 Board?
I loaded   KCS_KC868_A16_V2.2.12.zip  with USB and now the board does not work anymore.
Was it the wrong firmware?
