  Kincony not started.

I have a Kincony KC868 A8 V3.1 board. After flashing the firmware and powering it on, the display shows "Kincony" and the yellow LED starts blinking. The board doesn't display the IP address. What's wrong with the board?

  flash KC868-A16
Posted by: hans-martijn - 11-30-2025, 11:37 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (7)

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to two KC868-A16's yesterday. I have a MacBook Air M4, connected the devices with several cables, even tried to use two hubs to connect through USB, but the devices were not recognised. Then I tried a MacBook Air M1, then a raspberry pi 5, and finally borrowed a Windows 11 laptop. None of these devices recognised any connection to the usb port at all.
Even without USB, but connected to ethernet, the KC's didn't get an ip-address, nor was there a new AP I could wirelessly connect to (when I didn't attach the network cable).

The power light was on, I did push button 2 when connecting through USB (I also tried without).

Can I safely assume that both KC's are dead?

Thanks,
Hans

I am trying to configure my F16. But I came across your recommendation.  "4. It is recommended to use home assistant and Tuya mobile phone app at the same time. So that remote control by internet using Tuya app, local control by LAN using home assistant app"

Which installation approach will yield the recommended result?

  Faulty Kincony MB
Posted by: petermac - 11-27-2025, 01:04 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (1)

I have here a faulty Kincony MB - I have wasted many hours reinstalling firmware at instruction of Kincony - there seems to be hardware issue with this board as it only reads from shunts 9 through 16 - no readings for shunts 1 through 8.

Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Lightbulb KC868-A2 + SIM7600 LTE + Home Assistant – Relays & Sensors over LTE?
Posted by: WestfieldGhost - 11-27-2025, 07:15 AM - Forum: KC868-A2 - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a setup with a Kincony KC868-A2 and a SIM7600 LTE module and I want to connect it to Home Assistant over LTE only.
At the moment I’m using Tuya Cloud, because it seems to be the only solution that officially supports LTE with this board.
My goal is to:

• Control the relays from Home Assistant
• Read inputs and sensor values (ADC, 1-Wire, etc.) remotely via LTE

Current situation:

  • The device works fine in the Smart Life / Tuya app over LTE
  • It also appears in my Tuya Developer account
  • But in Home Assistant it shows as unsupported and I currently have no control at all
So my question is:
Is this device limited when used via Tuya Cloud, or has anyone managed to get full relay + sensor integration over LTE with it?
I’m not fixed on Tuya – it’s just the only LTE-supported method I’ve found so far.

If there is a better approach, I’m open to alternatives.

Has anyone here done this using:
MQTT over LTE
• Or flashing the ESP32 with ESPHome or other custom firmware (without the original Kincony firmware)?

Important:
? I want to avoid any additional hardware or gateways.

Just the KC868-A2 + SIM7600 + LTE + Home Assistant.

Any ideas or real-world experience would really help.

Thanks in advance!

Information Automation lamps A16_V3+E16_V2 with traditional switch
Posted by: ArlokBR - 11-26-2025, 08:00 PM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (8)

Hello,
After watching some videos on YouTube, I started my home lighting automation project.

Using the A16_V3 + E16_V2 hardware and KCS v3.15.0 software.

I'm using a traditional doorbell switch as input and I'm having trouble getting it to work.
   
I made the connection between A16_V3 and E16 as follows:
I suspect my problem is that I'm connecting to digital input 1 + GRD.
Where am I going wrong? How do I use it with a traditional switch?
