  KC868-A8 Schematic
Posted by: DarthWeber - 12-13-2024, 05:33 AM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (7)

Dear Support,

could you please post the schemtaic of the 1.6 boards? I am confused with the pins 32,33, 36, 39 and their relation to S1,2,3,4 which seems to be different in v1.5. I am looking for a pin direct connected to the esp32 - without pull-up/down.

I tried to connect an AM312 to one of the pins S1-4 but it does only work with an external pull-down of 4.7k. This sensor ouputs digital 3.3V as HIGH and should be connected direct to a pin without pullup or down.

Thanks,
Tom

Bug M16 SHT31 sensor disconnected
Posted by: bsarra - 12-12-2024, 09:16 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (4)

I've identified an issue with my M16 board whereby the SH31 sensor becomes disconnected after the setup() function and can no longer be read.  I've tried a number of variations on the bus settings, but there seems to be no effect.  The relevant setup() code is this:

PHP Code:
    Wire.begin(45);
//    Wire.setClock(100000);
    
Wire.setClock(10000);
    
Wire.setTimeOut(1000);
    
sht.begin();
    
sht.read();
    
temperature sht.getFahrenheit();
    
humidity sht.getHumidity();
    
int error sht.getError();
    if (
error != 0) {
        
uint16_t stat sht.readStatus();
        
ESP_LOGW("kincony""Temperature sensor Error status: 0x%04x, read status: 0x%04x",
                
errorstat);
        
logSHT31BitStatus(stat);
    } 

This works, however, once inside the loop(), attempts to read the SHT31 fail as disconnected and cannot be reset, even using the HARD option.

PHP Code:
        if (sht.isConnected()) {
            
sht.read();
            
temperature sht.getFahrenheit();
            
humidity sht.getHumidity();

            
int error sht.getError();
            if (
error != 0) {
                
uint16_t stat sht.readStatus();
                
ESP_LOGW("kincony""Temperature sensor Error status: 0x%04x, read status: 0x%04x",
                        
errorstat);
                
logSHT31BitStatus(stat);
            }
        } else {
            
int error sht.getError();
            
ESP_LOGE("kincony""Temperature sensor connection failure, HARD resetting...");
            
ESP_LOGW("kincony""Temperature sensor Error status: 0x%04x"error);
            
sht.reset(true);
        } 

Could this be a conflict with the U8G2?

Brick C++ application for KC868_M16v2
Posted by: bsarra - 12-12-2024, 09:02 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (1)

I've made available via GitHub project a C++ project for the M16 board.  This application will read CT sensors on the Kincony KC868_M16v2 board and calculate power usage. It allows per sensor configuration and sensor correction algorithms. Periodic MQTT messages are emitted with various readings and configurations can be set via MQTT messages and saved into non-volatile memory.   It also includes an STL to allow you to print a rudimentary cover for the board which will allow it to be surface mounted via screws.

The code is too large to post here, along with the numerous class files, so I'd direct you to Github:  https://github.com/LouPaloma/KinconyM16-PUBLIC

The code is marked with a number of TODO/FIXME, so patches and pull requests are welcome, although I have limited ability to test since my own unit has been "deployed".

(Also, I have identified an issue with the SHT31 sensor, but I will open a separate thread for that.)

  Check about connections
Posted by: Bergoglio - 12-12-2024, 06:16 PM - Forum: KC868-A4S - Replies (2)

Good afternoon,

I want to control 2 different devices fans with 0-10v capabilities of one KC868-A4S but I'm not sure about wiring.

For the first fan from AFL Motors (file 122) these are the connections that I plan :
 - 0-10 VDC yellow on fan with AO1 on KC868-A4S
 - GND blue on fan with GND after AO1 on KC868-A4S

for the second fan from Aermec (file 22) these are the connections that I plan :
 - 0-10V IN V2 blue on Aermec with AO2 on KC868-A4S
 - 0V V1 grey on Aermec with GND after AO1 on KC868-A4S

Am I right or wrong ? If I'm wrong, what are the right connections ?

Thanks

  ESP32 S3 set up issue
Posted by: omarzamudio - 12-12-2024, 05:35 PM - Forum: Extender module - Replies (10)

Hello,
In a previous email I mentioned that I am using the SIM 7600 module with the ESP32 S3 WROOM 1U, however I can't use the serial monitor in order to receive information (I can't see data), I would like to know if you have any advice for the ESP32 S3 set up in Arduino firmware. See my below set up in tools menu:

[Image: 0?ui=2&ik=2d79881756&attid=0.1&permmsgid...j58g7e0&zw]

I followed you recommendation with ''USB CDC On Boot'' = ENABLE, and now I have below information in the Serial Monitor:

I think I need to change something else in the Tool config but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

  KC868-A8 Switch
Posted by: glorifiedg - 12-12-2024, 01:30 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hi!
I purchased some KC868-A8 to install in my new home and I'm now testing them. 

I flashed one with ESPHome but the switches don't change relay state unless I program an automation in Home Assistant to do that (if input1 on/off change alternate relay state). Is it there anyway to configure this without HA? Should I use another firmware for this?

I also like to know if there any other device that can work with dimmable leds.

Photo no access to kcs
Posted by: philippe - 12-12-2024, 10:43 AM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (5)

Hi,
I received a new A8 board, downloaded KCS with  success, off/on the board. But I cant see the board on my net. Even with your tool udp scan. The board is on the same switch than my PC.
Udp scan can see my two other kincony board. I tried both kcs V2, the V1..no luck.

No problem with Tasmota, I have a wifi access to the board (but not via wire).


I remember , installing them last year was not esay for me, spending too much time.
I have 110 ish IP address on my Lan, many vendors, so far switches from shelly ,dingtian.
I added kincony for the 1wire support. But man, am I stupid for having so much problem with the K boards boards or is my english broken? I hope so and that you will point me to the solution.
Would be so easy for me, to have new board coming with kcs de facto.

Also, I tried to integarte it on HA. I thought it would be easy like the videos show : just copy and paste! . No way, I am fighting with the yaml syntax . I know I should learn the yaml syntax. But you could simplify my job by posting yaml files not text ( or it is hidden on the website?) . Yes I am dumb with yaml. But for newbies like me, we would be more enclined to buy kincony stuff.

Question:
When kcs starts for the first time, is dhcp activated? on wired lan first , right?


I posted my request by email, as you suggest when I contacted via ali. You reply that I should go to the forum. So please for new buyers, on ali , suggest to contact you on the forum.

Thanks

What are the options for connecting an A6 to a Raspberry Pi 5 with a cable, followed by integration with Home Assistant?
