dear admin,

I am using KC868-A16 and I need to connect temperature and humidity sensors to 3 1-Wire inputs. I connected DS18B20 sensors to pins "GPIO32" and "GPIO33" and DHT22 sensor (/AM2302) to pin "GPIO14". When installing the module in HomeAssistant add-on ESPHome, DS18B20 sensors are loaded correctly, but DHT22 sensor is not found. I tried two DHT22 sensors with the same result.

This is the code in YAML
###
one_wire:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO32
    id: one_wire1
  - platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO33
    id: one_wire2
  - platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO14
    id: one_wire3
.
.
.
sensor:
  - platform: dallas_temp
    address: 0x773ce1d458ac1a28
    name: temperature1
    update_interval: 120s
    one_wire_id: one_wire1
  - platform: dallas_temp
    address: 0xfd3ce1d4432b6528
    name: temperature2
    update_interval: 120s
    one_wire_id: one_wire2
###

The attached image is a screenshot from the installation.
   

Please could you help me? Where am I making a mistake?

Is this the correct code to get values from DHT22?
###
- platform: dht
    model: DHT22
    one_wire_id: one_wire3
    temperature:
      name: "Temperature3"
    humidity:
      name: "Humidity3"
    update_interval: 30s

Hello,
I am facing an issue with my KC868-A4S relay controller. When I connect the device to a PC via a USB-C cable, the PC does not recognize it. The red light on the device turns on when powered, but there’s no indication that the USB-C connection is active, and the COM port does not appear.
Here are the steps I’ve tried so far:

1. Tested with 3-4 different Type-C data cables but still couldn't detect the COM port on the PC.
   
2. Installed the USB driver from this link before attempting the connection.
   

hello

I like the concept of Kincony
But do the Kinkony switchgear match wit any other gear? (like in the picture)
I like to have sockets and normal switches that are looking the same as the Kincony push buttons.
Did anyone find something?
Regards
Frank

v3.1.1 improvement:

   

1. add RTC clock, use IFTTT clock locally, without internet.
   
2. save relay state to LOG file in SD card.
   
3. add KinCony G1 4G module supported set by RXD,TXD pins.
   
4. add Apple HomeKit support.
   
5. update MQTT protocol
6. fixed some bugs.
7. anti-piracy function

hi, I used an other esp32 with a big porgram, so I use the board ESP32 module" to change memory affectation.
I will use kit E16 with this program, when I try compil with "nodeMCU-32S" board, there is not enough memory.
so I can use another board to change affectation of memory and have more free momory for program.
thanks

i buy new A 16 bord after compleate flash completing ethernet not worked

Greetings!

I currently have a KC868-A6 device. 

I am using it along with a HomeAssistant with EspHome to use the relays and a wiegand device. I am trying to set up communication using MQTT by editing the configuration.yaml file and the mosquitto broker add-on, using MQTT.fx as a software.

I've been browsing videos of different Kincony devices about how to set this up and most set the server internally through the Kincony internal web server and then they do some additional settings using the add-on and so on.

Ever since flashing and before doing anything using EspHome, I have been unable to connect to the WiFi AP provided by the device. I can see the AP in the WiFi list, full signal but each time I connect it fails and disconnects, making me unable to access the 192.168.4.1 URL. I also tried to do the option with the buttons and another solution via flashing provided by another user in the thread and I still was unable to connect to the website.

Once I do the whole EspHome configuration, I understand that this AP is disabled and I can no longer access this URL to configure the Kincony device and all must be done using the EspHome configuration files as the KC868-A6-XXXXXXXXX wifi can't be seen anymore.

Are there any alternatives to this? I have already done the flash KCS guide with latest firmware (2.2.2), the UDP_SCAN tool doesn't detect the device, the device IS connecting properly to the wifi if we go by the .yaml logs and using a 3rd party IP scanner it shows up on the list.

I'd like to greet all the forum members. I’m reaching out to ask for your help with an issue I’m experiencing.

I connected 7 sensors to an RS485 Modbus bus, but only 4 of them work simultaneously. When I connect each sensor individually, they all respond correctly. However, when I try to initialize more than 4 sensors in the YAML configuration (e.g., 1-2-3-4), they are displayed and work fine. But as soon as I add more sensors (e.g., 5-6-7), some of them stop responding or are not displayed at all.
I am using an A16 with ESPHome integrated into Home Assistant.

I have a Kincony A16 running esphome. I already have reed switches to the dry contact inputs. Can I repurpose the output GPIO's as inputs? Is there another way to extend the board to have 8 more inputs?
