Question All outputs turn off every once in a while
Posted by: bartekm - 12-02-2024, 07:15 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (7)

Hello Admin,
I would like to ask you about solving my problem which is that all outputs of my KC868-A16 are turning off every once in a while. It happens randomly in time - sometimes after few minutes and sometimes after dozen of minutes.

Board (rev 1.6) is configured using esphome yaml and connected to HA server. Also I have more than one of your KC868-A16 and it happens for other boards also. I checked installation and it seems it is not problem with power supply because I caught and meter when it happens - network voltage was stable 240V and power supply (good quality one with high amperage) was also stable 11,98V.

I made some more investigations and what I noticed is that it seems it happens only when HA server is turned off (mini pc is turned off).
So summarizing I would to ask you:

1. have you experienced any disturbances in functioning for this or other boards configured using esphome when HA server is not available? if yes then is there anything what I can do? add some yaml configuration?
2. is it possible to force board to remember state of outputs? so even if there will be power outage or such reset than it will bring back output state? (of course light will flicker in this scenario)
3. is there any way to debug board errors in real time somehow in my configuration? I mean some log file which can help identify cause of this problem?

I would be grateful for your help and suggestions,
Bartek

Question Door Access Control System
Posted by: PeterOo - 12-02-2024, 08:17 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hi,

    As per the link below, 

       https://www.kincony.com/remote-access-co...ution.html

I found out that KC868 relay controllers can be configured to be used as door access control system. But, in that solution, I only found out ( or may be I missed out ) magnetic door locks and exit buttons used with controller.
I wonder if there are any possible solutions to use proximity card reader (with Weigand interface, later, convert to RS485 from Weigand) with the relay controllers. Could you please suggest me a way to integrate door access control system to KINCONY relay controller? Or, if you have any recommended card readers of any kinds or KINCONY's own card reader models, please enlighten me. I would like to integrate door access control system in my smart home project. Thanks in advance.

  E16S home assistant
Posted by: janami - 11-30-2024, 07:39 AM - Forum: KC868-E16S/E16P - Replies (5)

Ahoj všichni,
Na mini PC mám přes PROXMOX nainstalovanou desku KC868-E16S a Home Assistant. Jaký komunikační protokol bych měl použít, abych zajistil stabilní připojení? Rozhodně nechci žádné bezdrátové možnosti.
Mohl by mi prosím někdo napsat podrobný návod jak to nastavit?
A jaký firmware mám nahrát do KC868-E16S?
Děkuju.

  "KCS" v3.3.0 firmware for F16 controller
Posted by: admin - 11-30-2024, 03:51 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - No Replies

v3.3.0 improvement:
1. Fixed the problem of Tuya automatically managing  by Reset button and network Led
2. Add a delay after i2c initialization to fix the issue where AT24C02 occasionally fails to read i2c data too quickly, resulting in interrupted startup.

  Hardware issues
Posted by: ogo - 11-29-2024, 09:54 AM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (1)

Hello,

I bought a KC868-A8 a while ago that I've been using to test things and learn. Today I finally wanted to configure it properly to controls some lights. I have two issues

  1. Output 3 and 4 don't work: when I enable the outputs via home assistant or KCS, the LEDs for the outputs don't turn on, and I can't hear the click on the relay.
  2. When activating output 8, outputs 5, 6, and 7 are also activated: When I activate output 8 via home assistant or KCS, the LEDs of outputs 5, 6, 7, 8 turn on, even though those relays aren't active.

Things I've done so far:
  • Remove everything from home assistant and install it again
  • Disconnect everything from the board
  • Flashed KCS instead of ESPHome
  • Factory reset using KCS
  • Flashed ESPHome again

Nothing seems to fix it, so I can only think it's a hardware issue, not software. The board version is 1.6, and it also has a 433 MHz receiver/transmitter.

Any ideas?
