Good Day,

I have just set up Kincony server16 and have it up and running and all entities exposed with Home Assistant.  I have spent lots of time customising with new entities names and arrangement that makes sense for my use but every time I reboot  the work is lost and I have default names of output_1, output_2, etc. etc.... and I have no way to know which switch is required.  Why are my custom names not being saved?  This unit is really no use to me if it defaults every time and wastes my time and is dangerous to use without proper switch labels.

Ive recently received the AG8 IR Controller and I've tried to plug it into my laptop to install my esphome firmware but my laptop is not recognising it. Im using a MacBook but I've tried it on a windows laptop with the sane outcome. Im not too sure if I'm missing something but I've used esphome on multiple boards previously with no issues.
Anyone able t help.
Thanks

Hi I flashed the new A32 Pro with the firmware KCS_KC868_A32_V2.2.2.bin the LCD that previously displayed A32 Pro now is blank. I cannot see that it is working correctly. See attached file for the loading of firmware. What can I do?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on the KC868-A16 board. I want to know if it is compatible with a 433 MHz Superheterodyne RF module. Previously, I had issues with signal range using common 433 MHz RF modules, so I bought the Superheterodyne module to test it. However, when I tried using it with a 433 MHz alarm sensor, it didn’t detect the signal when I attempted to learn it using the KCS firmware.
I’m fairly new to this and just started experimenting with this board today. I also haven’t soldered the antenna to the RF module yet, but I was testing the sensor right next to the module.
Has anyone had experience with this setup or could offer any insights?
Thanks in advance!

   

I have the following Arduino code and I can not get my A32 Pro to connect to the network and take IP, in the port if I see that there is connection but I can not get it to take an IP address from the DHCP of my network.

Hi,

I've recently acquired a KC868-A8, and successfully configured it with ESPHome and HomeAssistant. I'll be using a few of them to automate my new home, but first I'm trying things.

I'd like to use the unit to control some lights, which should be able to use with traditional wall switches, even if I'd remove the unit or it was failing (meaning not using the digital inputs).

Is it possible to do something like the following diagram, but changing the last switch for one of the relays?




If it is possible, how should I do it? COM to the light, and then NC, and NO to the 4-way switch? My goal is that when I use the wall switch or change the status of the relay, to toggle the state of the light.

Thanks!

Hello Kincony,

Do you have a working version of firmware download tool for Windows 11?

I'm getting an error message when I click on "Open Serial Port" in  "KC868 Controller Bootloader.exe" GUI on Windows 11.

Hello,
I am trying to use your librairy but seem to always have the same compilation error, using the exemple or my own code. Maybe you have an idea of what it can be please?
(of course I have a license for the product, hc868-a6, but almost sure it's not related)

I've just bought the KC868-A6 and after powering it with 12V, I do see a red led just near the 12V intput, so has power, but I don't get any wifi to start. I was expecting the board in AP mode. (I was assuyming that's the way to start).

I tried to push S1 & S2 buttons ofr > 10 secs, but the same.

Is the board I've got faulty? What can I so?

Hello,

do you have the exact dimensions (H x h x l) for the KC868-E16 V2 board? I'm especially interested in knowing how much it protrudes towards the front - the minimum distance from the DIN rail that I need to have available.

Thank you!
