address 10,11 etc not working
I can switch only 8 relays? my hardware A16

Hi, how to connect Smoke sensor (https://www.kincony.com/smoke-detector-sensor.html) with KC868-A64.
These are the pins present in smoke sensor:
RED: 12V
BLACK:GND
WHITE: COM
ORANGE: Normal open
YELLOW: Normal close

I have uploaded KCS_KC868_A64_v1.0.27 firmware in the controller. What is the MQTT topic for receiving data from digital pins?

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:

  test-psram.zip (Size: 596 bytes / Downloads: 731)

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

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.

Hello Sir, thanks for good work. I use your boards KC868-A8S, I have like 5 of them but I have problems with  "authentication expired"' that happens on home assistant randomly after a while. Could you please help me prevent it?

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:


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:


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

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?

Hello, the inputs on my a8s v2 dont work.

If i short the gnd with any of the input pins nothing happens.
All the relays work fine. Im using I2C address 0x22 for input pcf8574.

Im using the board with esphome.

Code snipet for input

binary_sensor:
   
- platform: gpio
  name: input1
  ID:”input1”
  pin:
     pcf8574: pcf8754_hub_in
     number: 0
     mode: INPUT


Please advise

Thank you
