I am trying to connect KC868-AIO to ESPHome. Home Assistant and ESPHome are installed on my QNAP server in separate docker containers. I connected KC868-AIO to my computer with a USB data cable but it does not show up in the list of the available ports. What is wrong?

Hi,
Can I use the DI8 input to detect a DC signal in the range of 0.8 to 1.5 V? I previously used an Arduino Mega, which could read voltage levels on its digital I/O pins. Now, I’m looking to replace the Arduino with an ESPHome solution that can accomplish the same task.
The goal is for the signal to be represented as an On or Off input in Home Assistant.
Is this setup feasible? Or are there better methods to bring 0.8 to 1.5 V DC signals into Home Assistant?
Thank you!

I am configuring the KC868-M30 to monitor a split-phase residential electrical system in the United States, which consists of two hot legs: L1 and L2 with a total of 30 spaces. I seek clarification on the assignment of the 30 CT clamp sensor inputs. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a required mapping between the sensor inputs and the two-phase legs. Should the inputs be organized as follows:

• Inputs 1–10 assigned to Phase A (L1)
  
• Inputs 11–20 assigned to Phase B (L2)
  
• Inputs 21–30 left unassigned or used for other purposes
  

v3.0.2 improvement:
1. fixed bug with INTERLOCK
2. Accelerated digital input read speed

The ESP32 is an upgraded chip over the ESP8266, designed with more advanced features and higher performance. Unlike the ESP8266, the ESP32 includes a dual-core processor, integrated Bluetooth (both Classic and BLE), and enhanced Wi-Fi capabilities, making it more versatile for IoT and smart home applications. It has more GPIO pins, higher processing power, and lower power consumption modes, allowing for more complex, efficient projects. Overall, the ESP32 is ideal for developers seeking improved performance and additional connectivity options in their devices.

Hello everyone I'm building new house in Europe and I would like to Install all new home automation system .I would like to know can automation system can work "together" with normal switches and do I need to plug additional wires for example lights switches and what is that I need to install all together..regards

Hi guys,

I received my M30 board yesterday and installation was straightforward.

Now I have a problem that I can't explain. The energy consumption of all sensors is always 0.00 kWh, although voltage, current and power are available.

I´m using you YAML template for ESP Home and my goal is to integrate the energy consumption into the energy dashboard of Home Assistant.

I hope you can help me to solve this issue

Hi,

yesterday I received my M30 board and the installation was straight forward.

Now I have a problem that I can't explain. All 30 current clamp sensors do not measure the energy constumtion (kwh). Voltage, current and power are shown without any issue, but the energy sensors are always 0.00 kWh.

I´m using your yaml template for ESP Home and my goal is to integrate the sensors into the energy dashboard of Home Assistant.

I hope you can help me to solve this issue.

Hi,

I have an A16 board and I will like to add 2 x HC-SR04 devices to it.

I understand how to configure the pins in ESPHome so all is good on that side.

My question is more the electrical part - the HC-SR04 units require 5v each.

On the A16 schematics I cannot see anywhere where that outputs 5v.

I see in another thread (https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread...ht=HC-SR04) that the  433MHz receiver data pin on PCB produces 5v - is that the middle PIN that produces 5V?
And will I be able to power 2 or more (4?) x  HC-SR04 units from it?

Thanks.

Good morning, I am programming your KC868-A8S V1.2 board that I purchased for my uses, I can receive SMS and notification calls, but I can't control the relays with SMS and calls. I did the programming through the IFTTT screen and wrote the relative SMS on the network SMS control screen, but it doesn't work. Same thing with the calls. I also tried through the Arduino IDE 2.3.3 sketch with the sms-relay.ino file, but despite loading the required libraries, when I upload and compile it makes an infinite number of errors. For me it is very important to be able to use the SMS commands to control the relays. I attach some screenshots. I await your feedback. Thanks
