how to use binary sensor send SMS by SIM7600E 4G module in ESPHome

Posted by: admin - 08-28-2024, 01:11 AM - Forum: Getting Started with ESPHome and Home Assistant - No Replies

the ESPHome yaml demo made for KinCony KC868-A8S relay board. Actually you can use for any KinCony SIM7600 relay board, just replace 4G module's TXD,RXD define.



here is ESPHome yaml demo:

KC868-A32M Using GPIO from 4G module for SPI / P9813 board

Posted by: giliardi - 08-28-2024, 12:09 AM - Forum: KC868-A32M - Replies (5)

Hi,

I need to connect P9813 board, which uses serial interface, to A32M board.

Idea

I wondering if I could use the GPIO33 AND GPIO32, both from 4G A32M`s RX AND TX, to expose to SPI and configure Esphome like bellow:

spi:
clk_pin: GPIO33
mosi_pin: GPIO32
id: spi_a32m

light:
- platform: spi_led_strip
name: "P9813 RGB LED"
num_leds: 1
default_transition_length: 1s
spi_id: spi_a32m

Thanks in advance.

kc868-A8S v2 not working with SIM7600E

HI

SIM7600E module plugged in kc868-A8S v2.0 , running KCS 2.2.2.

cannot send message,
cannot receive message (crash/reboot when message is received)
cannot receive call
can only place test phone call

also :

the SIM7600E module was successfuly tested with an usb-to-Serial converter and putty. --> the SIM7600 module works fine, can send/receive messages
I also tried Tasmota on the kc868, impossible to establish connection to the SIM7600 in serial bridge --> Issue with RX/TX GPIO13/GPIO15 ?

Help with KC868-H32L

Posted by: thomas9912 - 08-26-2024, 09:43 AM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (1)

Hello,
sorry, I urgently need help with an KC868-H32L, and I feel like a complete idiot Huh

I have bought a H32L about 2 years ago, but never installed it. Now I want to make it run, best with Home Assistant, but I fail with even the MOST BASIC setup of the KC868.

I am also aware that this device might not be supported anymore? It is hardly mentioned here in the forum and has no own thread?

This is what happens: I have connected the H32L to the LAN and the switch reports a 10/100Mb link.

When I start VirCOM the device does NOT show up in the list, but when I click DEVICE it magically appears with a DHCP address from my network. So network does work! "Virtual Server" and "Vircom Status" are both negative. Destination IP is set to some Chinese (?) server.

I can "Edit Device" and write back changes, but that's about it. Even after loading defaults, neither KC868-H32_PC.exe is working (I added the correct IP address and saw the matching ports 4196, but the .exe is never able to connect to the controller). The HTTP service of the device is not responding to any modern webbrowser. The App mentioned in the QRCODE leads to a links saying "wrong link".

So the device is there, but I can't do anything with it. Firmware is V1.598.

It seems, this device needs to be setup elsewhere or otherwise first, and the very thin documenation hints at setting it up with a Chinese account/server first, but even that is not possible.

I am stuck! Is this device junk now?

Best, Thomas
