Hello,
I am using Kincony G1 with SIM7600 module fw KCS 3.19.1 and MQTT integration.

According to the forum documentation, incoming SMS should be reported via MQTT STATE  topic in this format:

• Device: Kincony G1
  
• GSM module: SIM7600
  
• Firmware: KCS v3.19.1
  
• MQTT broker: working correctly
  
• Home Assistant 2026.2.3
  
• Topics: 
   G1/XXXXXXXXXXXX/SET -  working (sending SMS works)
   G1/XXXXXXXXXXXX/STATE -  working (inputs, call_ring, etc.)
  

• MQTT STATE reporting for inputs (input1…input12)
  
• Outgoing SMS via MQTT (run_sms)
  

• Incoming SMS and calling are not reported to MQTT
  
• No (sms_recv) payload is published to STATE topic
  

• Clean SIM card (no stored SMS)
  
• Very simple SMS content: TEST (no diacritics, no multipart)
  

• Is there any additional configuration required?
  
• Is SMS TEXT mode (AT+CMGF=1) required and handled automatically by firmware?
  

• Can you confirm that incoming SMS → MQTT reporting is currently not supported / disabled for this hardware?
  

I have a brand new N60, when I power it up and connect it to my network it doesn't pull an IP address from DHCP. The connection light on the ethernet jack turns on but no IP is setup. Is there a default IP for this device?

Hello everyone!
Please, help me, what are the Rs485 addresses (for ESPhome firmware) of the KC868-A6 relays?

I am teaching Embedded Systems and IoT courses in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal. It would be interesting to include Kincony products in the course curriculum. Students usually apply the products used in academia in future developments of their professional careers. 
Thank you.

How are people wiring into the terminal blocks on the N60? Should I add ferrules to the 3.5mm female jack tails or is there a better way?

Hello, I need the pinout for my KC868-A8V3.
I have already found all possible AIO/pinouts on your website, but mostly only version 1.3 (without SD card). 
I need exactly this physical pin assignment (1-8).
I have the GPIO assignment “SPI-MOSI: GPIO10, SPI-SCK: GPIO11....”
Thanks in advance.

First of all, thank you for welcoming me to this forum.

I came here looking for a practical (and cheap, haha) solution for my modest project.

I've had a TECNOALARM TP5 alarm system at home for years.

As long as it keeps working, I have no intention of changing it, since it meets my needs.

But I would like to make it a bit "smart."

I would simply like to:

1. Activate/Deactivate it from my mobile phone (I use SmartLife for many of the smart plugs I have installed at home).

2. Know if the alarm has been triggered by an alert on my mobile phone.

I have the alarm's installer manual, so I could provide more information if needed.

So, is this possible with any of your panels? Which board would you recommend for this?

I've attached some images from the manual in case they're helpful.

Thanks in advance!

   
   

Hi guys,

I just got an A16 board. I read the design review (https://www.kincony.com/esp32-board-16-c...dware.html) but I didn't really find any proper solution to connect RX / TX UART TTL pins to the board (for my R503 fingerprint sensor). 

Could someone please help me how to connect that sensor / use UART with that board?

Thanks and best regards!

I just purchased KC868-A6V3 Board.
On connecting the unit I tried connecting using wifi hotspot.
I did not find the hotspot I was expecting instead a "Hidden network" appeared in Wifi network list.
I was unable to connect to this 
I thought that perhaps unit had shipped unconfigured as I purchased from Aliexpress.
I then tried flashing using KCS_A6V3__v3.19.0 firmware but got the same result.
Firmware tool indicated successful installation.
I then tried setting up using ESPhome in HA using your supplied YAML file and that worked OK , unit comes online  , relays are able to be used.
I tried again using KCS firmware but still same result and Hidden network appeared again in Wifi list.
I tried connecting using SSID of ALR-0070077FE024 and passkey supplied in ESPhome YAML file which got me to the message "unable to connect to this network"
I then went back to ESPhome configuration and it works again and appears online , relays work
This proves that the hardware works but I really want to use the Lora functionality to control some water controllers I have.
Also the LCD display has never displayed anything , - why
Any assistance you can supply is much appreciated

Hi, as i wrote previously in another thread i'm quite new on this modules so sorry if i write something already discussed.
I'm recently facing the need to update the firmware of my B16s because i see new feature that i want to try. The problem is that i'm not finding any way to preserve the configuration (Network settings, IFTTT settings, custom Protocols and so on) so i could be able to load the new firmware but don't spend too much time reconfiguring manually all the stuffs.

Is there something i'm missing to backup the module configurations?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
