Hello, how can I extend inputs and outputs?
Can I use KC868-HA V2?
   

Hello,

I'm looking to automate my home which i will soon complete building in the coming months.
I have been watching your Youtube videos and the items used inside the electricity distribution board seems adequate for my DIY project.

The main Application that i would like to use is the Home Assistant which would be hosted on a personal Home Server/HomeLab Server alongside other networking services such as NAS and Streaming Media Server.
My Automations (using less than 32 Channels) would mostly consist of controlling lighting bulbs, fans, Air Conditioners and some other low power driven appliances mostly connected to traditional switches like these.

Which Kincony product would be required for such a project?
a) Server : Kincony KC868-Server or KC868-H32B Pro
b) Raspberry Pi : Is it mandatory to use a RPI or can i use another SBC such as Zimaboard or a mini PC hosting Home Assistant via Virtualization.
c) Relay modules : would the KC868-E16V2 X2 be enough for the low current switches and other appliances?
d) Ability to add other smart devices such as Alexa and Google Home, Zigbee etc.
e) Is it possible to use MCB Breakers which are available locally in my Country (Mauritius)?
f) Would using a custom Aluminium cabinet to place the devices cause any unsafe/hazards scenarios?
g) Ability to add analog/digital input devices in the future.
h) Energy monitoring per output capabilities.

Thank you for your suggestions and time in advance.

Witch PH and chlorine sensor do you recommend for KC868-A8 (swimmingpool)?

Hello.

I would like to buy boards that combine KC868-A32 relay board and M30 30CH AC energy meter board into a single board.

No need of 32 Channels, 16 Channels will be enough.

No need of leds or phisical switches because it will be controlled via RJ45 on Esphome/Homeassistant.

Small size and suitable for rack mount into power distribution box.

AC measurements via direct wiring, like a smart plug does (no clamps needed).

I couldn't find anything like that on the market and I think It will be the ideal board to install on home domotics.

Best,

Hi,

in the advertisement for the KC868-A6, there is an image of an extensive library of samples. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find them. Can anyone help?

Hello,

Could you please share what CPU is used for KC868-H32B?

The context is that some time ago I was discussing that I cannot upgrade my controller to latest firmware. It was find out that I have H32 controller with CPU STM32F103 and I was suggested to replace CPU to AT32F403.

Yesterday I replaced the CPU and wanted to  flash to it bootloader and firmware, however I cannot found this CPU in STVP software.

Could you please advice with that?

Hello, please help me set up an IoT MQTT panel app to monitor and control the inputs and outputs of the kc 686-A8 board on the Kcs kincony in kcs it is already configured correctly, I just need to put the topic subtopic settings i polyoad on and off I've already done user authentication for an mqtt, just put the topic and action

any ideas? thanks

Hi,
I received the board, It seems like a great relay board to me

-can the ETH WEB Server work together with tuya?
-can analog inputs work with Tuya?
-How can I use an contact input with a physical button to turn all the others off and on all the relays together?
-why with Alexa if I say turn off or turn on all E16T does it turn on and off only the first 4 relays?
-why are the 16 channels not dry contact but 24v?

Thanks for support

Hi, I'm having difficulties with this device (KC868-A8). I have it plugged into my ethernet switch with cat6 cable, and into my computer with usb. at first I was able to see the device from ESPHome running on Home Assistant and configure through home assistant. Now it does not detect the device when I try to +New Device it just says initialising but never detects it. Also, the ethernet socket on the device no longer lights up (im sure it had yellow light before when I plug in the ethernet cable).
Has my device's ethernet/serial connection failed?
