  how to set KC868-H32B Pro relay inching mode with push buttons
Posted by: admin - 02-23-2024, 03:39 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (4)

   
   
   
   

for example: 
H32B Pro relay1 ON RS485 modbus command is: 01050000FF008C3A
H32B Pro relay1 OFF RS485 modbus command is: 010500000000CDCA

so you can create all custom RS485 protocol command for any buttons.

  how to use ESPHome dashboard in Windows OS
Posted by: admin - 02-20-2024, 11:50 AM - Forum: Getting Started with ESPHome and Home Assistant - No Replies

(You have installed Python and ESPHome component, we have another lesson for it)
1.  create folder called "config".
2.  windows CMD mode , input command:  esphome dashboard config/
3. use web browser login with "localhost:6052"

  KC868-A8M SIM7600 GPRS Disconnected
Posted by: deepthasm - 02-19-2024, 04:29 PM - Forum: KC868-A8M - Replies (11)

Hi,
Recently I bought KC868-A8M with SIM7600 module and Installed the latest KCS firmware (KCS_KC868_A8M_V2.1.9). I enabled the GSM on the network settings page. But, I'm getting "GPRS : disconnected" on monitor page. Try to clicking "Phone test" but I'm getting "error".

Following are the logs for reference.

eFuse Two Point: NOT supported

[1B][0;32mI (3117) analog: ---->adc1 thresholdd : 0[1B][0m

So on, 

I checked SIM7600 module connecting directly to the Computer using USB. Module is working perfectly and can send and receive both SMS and Voice call.


Please help.

  How expand input using I2C bus?
Posted by: DaddyLee76 - 02-19-2024, 12:08 PM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (9)

Hello! 
I bought two kc868-a8 and configured them via esphome. 
For the moment I'm using 8 digital input + 2 analog input as binary sensor and all 8 output.
I have 2 question. 
- Does it possible toggle one or more relays of the first card when I press one button of the second card? i know that I can use Home assistant for that but I'd like to know if there is a another way to do that.
- how can I expand input ports using IIC? 
Regards

Brick Looking to Automate Home
Posted by: kazezx - 02-19-2024, 07:42 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (3)

Hello,

I'm looking to automate my home which i will soon complete building in the coming months.
I have been watching your Youtube videos and the items used inside the electricity distribution board seems adequate for my DIY project.

The main Application that i would like to use is the Home Assistant which would be hosted on a personal Home Server/HomeLab Server alongside other networking services such as NAS and Streaming Media Server.
My Automations (using less than 32 Channels) would mostly consist of controlling lighting bulbs, fans, Air Conditioners and some other low power driven appliances mostly connected to traditional switches like these.

Which Kincony product would be required for such a project?
a) Server : Kincony KC868-Server or KC868-H32B Pro
b) Raspberry Pi : Is it mandatory to use a RPI or can i use another SBC such as Zimaboard or a mini PC hosting Home Assistant via Virtualization.
c) Relay modules : would the KC868-E16V2 X2 be enough for the low current switches and other appliances?
d) Ability to add other smart devices such as Alexa and Google Home, Zigbee etc.
e) Is it possible to use MCB Breakers which are available locally in my Country (Mauritius)?
f) Would using a custom Aluminium cabinet to place the devices cause any unsafe/hazards scenarios?
g) Ability to add analog/digital input devices in the future.
h) Energy monitoring per output capabilities.

Thank you for your suggestions and time in advance.
