433MHz remote_receiver

Posted by: deltabridge - 06-19-2024, 09:54 PM - Forum: KC868-A8S - Replies (3)

Hello,

I am using ESPHome 2024.5.5 on the KC868-A8S device. After uploading the firmware that includes the remote_receiver component on GPIO16 for 433 MHz receiving module, the device becomes unresponsive and the web dashboard returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Interestingly, when the remote_receiver component is not included, everything functions as expected.

Any ideas about that? Thank you!

how to replace ESP32 large memory module for KinCony ESP32 Controller

Posted by: admin - 06-18-2024, 12:18 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - No Replies

this video replace ESP32-WROOM-32 by ESP32-WROOM-32E N16R2 for KinCony KC868-A8S board. it have PSRAM with ESP32. just make sure not need GPIO16 when you need to use PSRAM. So we have removed U17 chip, so that cut the ESP32 GPIO16 circuit.



here is arduino code for testing PSRAM and all hardware information for ESP32:

arduino source code download:

.zip   test-psram.zip (Size: 596 bytes / Downloads: 534)

Code:
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {

//Use this code to init the pSARM

  Serial.begin(115200);

// 打印 Arduino 库的版本信息

Serial.println("Arduino 库版本");

Serial.println(ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION);

   // 获取 Flash 大小（以字节为单位）

  uint32_t flashSize = ESP.getFlashChipSize();

  Serial.printf("Flash Size: %u bytes\n", flashSize);

  // 获取 PSRAM 的大小（以字节为单位）

  uint32_t psramSize = ESP.getPsramSize();

  Serial.printf("PSRAM Size: %u bytes\n", psramSize);

  // 获取剩余内存

  uint32_t freeMemory = ESP.getFreeHeap();

  Serial.printf("Free Memory: %u bytes\n", freeMemory);

   // 获取总内存

  uint32_t Totalheap = ESP.getHeapSize();

  Serial.printf("Total heap: %u bytes\n", Totalheap);

   // 获取 PSRAM 剩余内存

  uint32_t FreePSRAM = ESP.getFreePsram();

  Serial.printf("Free PSRAM: %u bytes\n", FreePSRAM);

}

void loop() {}

Dear Kincony Team.

i am a project engineer in automation engineering. i came across your products from youtube, and i am amazed with the profiling and ability of your product in handling facility automation.

I would like to get a free kit of your products to integrate it on my prospecting project (smart home installation on a duplex building) in nigeria.

These will enable me to become conversant with your products, use it on subsequent upcoming projects and also market it to client as a better automation product.

Below is my detail

Error on ESPHOME Official Config?

Posted by: tolbier - 06-17-2024, 08:29 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (5)

Is it possible that addresses for input channels on Kincony868 A16 were exchanged on official configuration on esphome?
https://devices.esphome.io/devices/KinCo...figuration

I was testing my new device and it surprised me that adresses were exchanged
This is my configuration for input addresses

Code:
  - id: 'pcf8574_hub_in_1'  # for input channel 1-8

    address: 0x22

  - id: 'pcf8574_hub_in_2'  # for input channel 9-16

ENQUIRE ON PROSPECTED SMART HOME PROJECT

Posted by: Nobleben80 - 06-17-2024, 04:47 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (1)

I'm building a new smart home and is prospecting to use KinCony products for the smart controls that will offer me the following features:

- Smart control of devices via ethernet, website, mobile app, wifi and bluetooth, Alexa and home assistance on remote base. Though, I will also use cable for reliability and efficiency.

QUESTIONS:
- Can i integrate smart touch wall switches as a second level control and alternative switch for designated gadget like ceiling led lighting point for manual control?
- In case of KC868 server goes down or hanged. Can kincony manual switch work effectively.
- Can i assign IP address to the kincony server from my home router network without using the sim card, so that it can access internet from my home internet router.
- Can i integrate my water pump level switch to the controller to control the pumping for water to the reservoir.
- Can i integrate a physical timer switch to control designated output for designated gadget or do you have a software that can take care of the timing of some output/terminal from the server.

BUILDING:
- Five Bedroom duplex with two sitting room, one kitchen and control room in Nigeria.
- 80 bulbs. some paired together. I will also use smart touch wall switches to manually switch off/on the lights as a second level control.
- 2 doors sensors with remote access to lock and unlock.
- Temperature sensors and smoke dictators
- What component will satisfy all the requirements in building the kincony smart distribution box?
- 15kw Solar energy powered

I await for your feedback and look forward to work with you and also publish my work on your youtube and other social media channels

Many Thanks.

Problem uploasing esphome firmware to KC868-A16

Posted by: tolbier - 06-17-2024, 09:14 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello:
I've got two KC868-A16 and now I'm trying to upload the firmware, but it replies me with an error on Erasing:

[Image: 1cWhkAAAidMM10YSGU9ZfCgdmg_iD7c_u=w800-h909-iv1]
It keeps for a Long time and it returns a TimeOut error

Also, I've been trying with the ESP_FLASHER tool with similar result:
[Image: 1z2ES6ctJv1Fz8exKOpQUf_LZ2GobMoCO=w800-h909-iv1]

I tried with both cards and, the result is the same
Also I've been trying to upload it pushing Reset and Download Buttons, with no different result

I was trying tou upload from a Fedora 39 and also from a MacOS (Silicon M3)

any idea what is going on?

Thank you

How to get started

Posted by: jarekD - 06-16-2024, 08:14 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (10)

Hi all,
Not sure what am I missing, but spent already 2 hours browsing the internet on how to get connected to the A16 on first power on...
Just received my brand new KC868-A16 and it's my very first experience with Kincony.

The device is now powered up, but I can't neither connect via LAN nor WiFi.
LAN just doesn't get connected to my router, though it has standard 192.168.0.x network. The UDP_SCAN_LIST tool doesn't detect the board (my PC is on Wifi, but on the same network as physically Ethernet-connected A16, it sees other devices on the ethernet).
A16's WiFi AP is not visible either.

I tried resetting the device by holding the "download" button for 10 sec, no luck.

How to get started?

Jarek

Just one update, I managed to get successfully through the firmware update. Flashed KCS_KC868_A16_V2.2.2 and there's no change, still can't see the Wifi access point.
