Hello.

I am interested in purchasing a KC868-A16 board to connect the programmable outputs (PGM) of a DSC Neo Alarm Center to the digital inputs (dry contacts) of the KC868-A16.

My question stems from the fact that the PGM outputs of the DSC Neo deliver a negative referenced to the 12v positive of the same board.

And to connect this directly to the KC868-A16 I would have to put a relay in the middle but this is not feasible.

The other solution is to know if I can disconnect the 12v from the KC868-A16 in the input optocouplers and directly insert the 12 from the DSC Neo.

Could you confirm if this is viable at the board level?

Hello Admin !

Is it possible / how to wire an NTC 10KOHM temperature sensor to the A32 board ? thanks
(i'll join a picture of it)

I'm trying to load the Uair with external sensor and got the below error:

19:16:51][C][dallas.temp.sensor:036]:  Update Interval: 60.0s

Hello ! 

Is there a way to run KCS Firmware and home assistant simultaneously?

hi, i will purchase a m30
and want to know if a rs485 like this
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! CLP33.582 | 1P Energy Meter RS485 Modbus RTU Monitor Voltage Current Power Factor Frequency Toal Consumption
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mstTztE
its compatible and if the esphome yaml include this comunication
to see all the power di energy in 1 sensor!

Hello,

Basic Ewelink and HA user, I'm just a noob and try to "play" at the moment with my new KC868-A4
The idea is that at the end, i can connect my store to sensors "Rain", "Temperature", "Light (UV), send command UP and Down, this only with the KC868, later on, intergate it to HA to monitor my veranda when I'm away... but :

I downloaded Arduino IDE and after struggling installing serial port driver, I finaly managed to see NodeMCi-32s on COM3.
But it seems no communication is possible with the board as I have an error message when I try to send some commands  :

Invalid FQBN: getting build properties for board esp32:esp32:nodemcu-32s: invalid value '460800' for option 'UploadSpeed'
Compilation error: Invalid FQBN: getting build properties for board esp32:esp32:nodemcu-32s: invalid value '460800' for option 'UploadSpeed'

I searched on Kinkony guides, Youtube channel, but didnt find any complete startup-guide. Seems they are all assuming on is already familiar... its unfortunately not my case. They probably exist somewhere, but not so easy to find. Even this idiot Microsoft copilot was unable to give me detailed informations. its alway "connect to the device and... " but how to be sure iam connected to the device ?

Any links with such guides for noobs / Youtube channels... (really from the scratch) ?

Thanks

hi Admin
is there is any way I can have the source file not the .bin for the A32 pro with RF and SIM modules that has delays of 10 ms? 

Because using that file I can't connect it to home assistant .

Thanks,

I am testing ds18b20 sensors with KC868-AM I have 8 sensors attached, 2 per input terminal. 

With KCS v2.2.4 firmware I get results from at least 4 sensors. See picture.

However when I try to setup in ESPHOME I consistently getting the following:

20:42:58][C][gpio.one_wire:016]: GPIO 1-wire bus:
[20:42:58][C][gpio.one_wire:017]:  Pin: GPIO5

It cannot find any sensors on gpio 13 and 14. This was working before the ESPHOME update to 2024.6.1

Any idea on what might have happened?

I made the corrections requested by ESPHOME 2024.6.1 for 1 WIRE:

Dallas:
- pin: 13

for

one_wire:
- platform: gpio
  pin: 13
sensor: 
  - platform: dallas_temp
    address: 0x650114534966aa28
    name: "Temperatura Teste"

And the sensor was no longer recognized, I am receiving the message in the LOG:

[C][gpio.one_wire:017]: Pin: GPIO13
[W][gpio.one_wire:078]: Found no devices!

Help me

       
In Home Assistant this morning, there was an ESP home update and a AIO firmware update shown. I clicked on install in the AIO update, but it failed. Do you have any information about what might be the issue?
