coding support

Posted by: Salman - 12-27-2024, 07:09 PM - Forum: KC868-A4 - Replies (1)

greetings,

I would like to do the followings
3 digital input and one digital output

the trouble that digital input 3 should be permissive low to activiate relay 1.
then I would the software while the relay 1 is activiated, to monitor digital input 3.
if it is remain high, keep relay 1
if it is switch to low , de activate relay 1

if ( digital input 1 == high and digital input 2 == high and digital input 3 == low ( this is will be permissive signal ) )
digital output 1 == high

if ( digital input 1 = low and digital input 2== low )
digital output 1 == low

if ( digital input 3 == low )
delay 1 minute
digital output 1 = low

H32B conrolled by Nodered

Posted by: Saif Kitany - 12-27-2024, 04:13 PM - Forum: News - Replies (7)

hello technical support team,

I produced nodered diagram(for test) to control h32b controller. for test, i want to control 3 realys by one switch.
the problem is :

when i turn on the switch, i got just one relay turn on from the three relays.(they don't turn on all of them in the same time). but if i put timer for the other 2 relays, then i got all relays turn on.

realy 22----> 0 sec
relay 23---> 0.3 sec
relay 24---> 0.6 sec

i will add a pictures of the diagrams : one picture without delay, the seconed picture with delay

A16 - MQTT Issues

Posted by: PierrePetite - 12-27-2024, 09:33 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (7)

Hey,

first of all: Thanks for this great product! I am now trying to connect it via MQTT to Home Assistant. (I had several issues by using ESPHome, so I wanna stick with MQTT for now).

What I did:

MQTT Setup within KCS
Setup Mosquito and MQTT within Home-Assistant (Already existing)
Confirmed that the Packages are received by listening to #

I have used the following YAML within Home Assistants configuration.yaml, customized based on the received packages while listening to #:

Code:
mqtt:

  switch:

   - name: 'kcs868-a16-output-1'

     unique_id: kcs868-a16-output-1

     state_topic: 'KC868_A16/2CBCBB646ACC/STATE'

     command_topic: 'KC868_A16/2CBCBB646ACC/SET'

     payload_on:  '{"output1":{"value":true}}'

     payload_off:  '{"output1":{"value":false}}'

     value_template: '{{ value_json.output1.value }}'

     state_on: true

     state_off: false

As a result, I can - after restarting Home Assistant control the Output 1.
BUT: It does not show the current status of Output one! (See Screenshot). Status is unknown.

Any Idea what went wrong? What could I check?

kc868-a6 communication fault

Hi I have a kc868-a6 board that i have recently bought. I can't manage to communicate with it. I am using the esp32 download tool v3.9.2 in order to download the firmware "KCS_KC868_A6_V2.2.8.bin" but at the command dos screen that opens it shows repeatedly dots when i push the start button.
after too many dots without result i press the stop button and it gives the messages
"[2024-12-27 02:19:54,814][ESP8266Loader_spi[1]][espDownloader.py][line:422][ERROR]: Chip sync error

no log file output ..."
I am using a usb to rs232 converter and it gives me the COM3 port.
I have also tried with a direct usb cable but it doesn't shows any port.
Can anyone please help me?
I have also tried with the arduino application to upload a short sketch but it can't communicate with the board.
Then I have installed the "KC868-A series ESP32 board USB Driver For Windows" but with no success again.
Finally i have tried with the "uart assistant" tool but no success.
The attached file has the printscreen of my trials

Posted by: admin - 12-27-2024, 01:17 AM - Forum: KinCony integrate with Loxone home automation - No Replies

KCS v3 support Loxone integration by UDP protocol. here is all details demo show with KinCony A32 Pro using DO (digital output), DI (digital input), AO (analog output for dimmer), AI (analog input), RS485 sensor and GPIO 1-wire sensor.

KCS v3 use by KinCony ESP32-S3 smart controller.

about demo function list:
1/a. Relay1 switch: you can trun ON/OFF relay1
1/b. Relay2 button: hold on the button relay2 is ON, release finger, relay2 is OFF. Usually use for curtain.
1/c. Relay1 State: feedback relay1's newest state, even if relay control by other ways, such as home assistant, tuya app, web browser, wall switch.

2. DI1 State: monitor digital input1 state.
3. Dimmer (AO1): dimmer output with channel1 (range 0--255)
4. feedback AO1's newest state, even if dimmer control by other ways, such as home assistant, tuya app, web browser, wall switch.
5. RF433M: monitor RF433MHz sensor state for ON/OFF

6/a. Sensor1Temp: one temperature & humidity sensor's temperature value
6/b. Sensor1Hum: one temperature & humidity sensor's humidity value

7.Sensor2Temp: one temperature sensor's temperature value

"KCS" v3.4.0 firmware for B16M F16 F24 A32Pro controller

Posted by: admin - 12-27-2024, 01:00 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (6)

v3.4.0 improvement:
1. Added Loxone Miniserver UDP protocol
2. Added RS485 sensor
3. When DO is ALL ON, increase the delay of each channel and the delay is 10ms, so that can protect power supply.
4. Fix the problem that multiple DI false configurations in ifttt cannot work well.
5. Fix the problem that ifttt processing will be blocked when mqtt is disconnected
