Hello I have 10x DS18B20 temp sensors hooked up to KC868-AIO

They are mostly around 50-70ft away from the KC868-AIO

They are all home run cable back to KC868-AIO (star patern)

The cable used is 18/3 OFC copper.

I can only get them to work if hooked directly up short run without extending them.

How can I get this setup to work? Resistors? If so what kind?

Thanks

I am trying to connect  DS18b20 temperature sensor to KC868-AIO and get sensor ID from ESPHome logs

My configuration:

one_wire:
  - pin: GPIO01
    platform: gpio


This is what I am getting:

[10:58:55][C][gpio.one_wire:020]: GPIO 1-wire bus:
[10:58:55][C][gpio.one_wire:021]:  Pin: GPIO1
[10:58:55][W][gpio.one_wire:078]:  Found no devices!



   

Hello everyone. Has anyone generally dealt with connecting A16 to Domoticz without any intermediate solutions (e.g. MQQT)? I'm starting to play with mysensors in Arduino on KC868-A16, I hope that I will be able to use all the functions in this device (currently I have my own SMT32 PCBs, ESP8826, Atmega with W5100 modules and others) to replace everything with one driver If anyone would like to share their experience - I'm starting this thread.

Installed an KC868-16 for use in Home Assistant using ESPHome and YAML file supplied by KinCony.  Using static IP.  Board works fine until any kind of power disconnect, e.g. unplugging to avoid shorts while wiring.  After power is restored that board no longer works.  The switches for the outputs (12v attached) do not function and the inputs show as "Unavailable."  If I reload the YAML file the board returns to working condition.  I suspect this may be a YAML file issue.  Any suggestions on how to correct without reloading the software are most appreciated.

I purchased a board on aliexpress with the identical PCB layout as the kincony A6 board. 

What's the story behind this board? Is it made by kincony?

xxxxxxxxxxx

I plugged it in and it started smoking, lol.

Hi

The instructions says 12 V DC input power. OK - but if used in a boat or car the battery voltage can be somewhere between 11 anf 15 volts...

Is that ok for the 868-A6 unit?

Good day,

I have a KC868-A8 with firmware version 2.2.6 and when I log into the web interface and click on some of the menu items I get taken back to the login screen. This happens randomly with the menu items.

I am waiting for the kc868-A16 to be delivered. My goal is to make a complete program in Arduino to support my own smart elements - the superior system is Domoticz/HomeAssistant. Are there any examples in Arduino that show how to implement access to all PCF and other in/out ports (pins, addresses) as well as the LAN module (pins, addresses) in the Arduino environment? If so, where can I find them. I know that you can do reverse engineering and laboriously check and test everything - but if someone has already figured it out - maybe they could share a few source files.

Is B16M coming with some preloaded firmware? Which one is it? Is there a ready to use KCS firmware for it, similar to things like KC868-A16, if yes, where it can be found?

Hello  

Setup:     
M30 AC energy meter connected to Home-assistant server running in virtual machine with windows host, the M30 connected to pc through onboard USB debugging port and RS485 to USB converter (COM 3 & COM 4) and connected to same network as pc through Ethernet

Problem: 
-- the Home Assistant frontend dashboard shows the board current readings: m30_1,2,3_current_1--10  = 0.357 A , Watt: 140.3W,  4,771.0 kWh,  5,141.0 kWh,  tps_1,2,3 = 4,574.6 °C
the CT sensors is not connected to any active load ?  
--  when connect the CT sensors to load the reading did not change ?
-- Connecting  modbus pull with same configuration as in yaml file { uart:   id: modbus_uart  rx_pin: 32  tx_pin: 33  baud_rate: 115200  stop_bits: 1  data_bits:   parity: NONE}   it shows timeout error with no readings? 

Required: 
-- How to reset the CT sensors current readings and energy reading to Zero when there is no loads or the sensors not connected, remove the un wanted history and start fresh. please show example of any modifications needed in yaml file. all sensors are brand new and never used before.
-- Why there is no reading when i connect the CT sensor to an active load ? did i mess something? 
--  Why i cant read the sensors trough modbus pull from register 3 ? how to fix timeout error ?
-- Noticed when using the yamal file posted that we can not use Ethernet and WIFI at the same time? why?
-- I tried with another M30 board the current reading 0.220 A watt zero but also the reading did not change when i connect the CT sensor to active load? any reason?
-- why TPS shows very high readings? what does it means?
-- Period readings = 457.8 Hz  ? can you explains? -not realistic readings-

Note: Attached the yaml used in the configuration, the dashboard for home assistant before and after connecting the CT to load, the modbus error
