  A16S Modbus control
Posted by: xsa - 12-29-2023, 04:04 PM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (7)

Hi,

I would like to control my A16S board with modbus protocol. The controller is an ESP32 with esphome firmware. The switch part of the esphome config is as follows:

switch:

  - platform: modbus_controller
    name: 'testsw1'
    address: 0
    register_type: coil
    bitmask: 1
…. to switch 8

  - platform: modbus_controller
    name: 'testsw8'
    address: 7
    register_type: coil
    bitmask: 1

  - platform: modbus_controller
    name: 'testsw9'
    address: 8
    register_type: coil
    bitmask: 1

Everything works perfectly as long as only the first 8 switches are defined. However, if relay 9 is also configured, when it is switched on, the 9th relay switches but the status feedback comes back from the first relay (in esphome 1st relay on - 9th relay off ; on the relay board 9th relay on 1st off) and vice versa. How to program esphome so that it works correctly?

  KC868-A32 temperature sensor
Posted by: stanchiam - 12-29-2023, 12:13 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (7)

Hi,

How can we use ds18b20 temperature sensor for KC868-A32 board? For KC868-A16 there is gpio input but this board does not have.
Does KC868-A32 support temperature sensor?

  KC868-A16 esp32 board (A16)as upgrade of a Homevision Controller?
Posted by: hjahend - 12-24-2023, 12:35 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (36)

Recently I discovered the various Kincony Home Automation solutions and was impressed. Review and consider now the usage potential for my situation. Therefor I pose some clarification questions in this Forum, geared to my home automation situation, ambitions and needs.

For more than 20 years, like many others with a DIY habbit, I have been using the proven reliable Homevision Controller (HV)( (http://www.csi3.com/homevis2.htm ) for home automation purposes (lights, switches, security-system, screens, sensors, etc.). In my home the HV-Inputs (16) are connected to sensors and motion detectors via CAT4 cable. The HV-communication with and HV-control of 220V-devices in the home is done via protocol X10 (this is outdated and being phased out) and via Tasmota-software (the MQTT-bridge/ broker is on an ES8266-12E NODEMCU, connected to the HV controller via RS232 link).
The 220V architecture at home is a common 3-phase distribution network, with local switches.
Since 2023 my HV-Controller also has an integration interface with Home Assistant (HASS), allowing the HV-connected devices to be also monitored and operated via HASS.
However, the primary/basic automation of the home is and remains via HV (the routines are configured by me in HVXL-software).
HV has the great advantage that it can function completely stand-alone (based on HVXL- software download). And, in the event of a mains voltage failure and restoration, HV is fully operational again within one second!
That includes her MQTT bridge and the restoring of the device states and functioning in the home, exactly as it was before the voltage outage.
Questions:
1. Can A16 also function stand alone as the main home controller & as an MQTT-broker (Mosquito)? Based on which software of yours (KCS and or ESP-Home?)? Are the software programming facilities quite comparable to those of HV (like: if-then-else, timers, date, sunrise/sunset, flags, macros, etc.)?
2. Can the A16 communication accesses/ports (Ethernet, WIFI and RS485) be used independently and in parallel?
3. Is a quite simple integration with HASS possible? If so: which of your software is additionally required and configurable (howto)?
Can I also (or instead of) use the specific HASS integrations (like ESP-HOME and MQTT)for discovery and configurations?
4. Does a HASS integration not violate the stand alone functioning of the A16 instead of HV?
5. What main limitations/issues do I also have to take into account when transitioning from HV to A16?
6. What else do you think is important to pay attention to, regarding this transition?

  Defectiv Board?
Posted by: ganesh - 12-24-2023, 08:33 AM - Forum: KC868-A4 - Replies (1)

Hi
I got my KC868-A4 Rev 1.2.4 from Aliexpress. If I power it up all 4 Relais and Controll LED are on. Pressing S2 Button starts all Relais and Buzzer to "Maschingun". Button S1 Turns of Relais but if Button released Relais are back on.

Thanks for your help
Ganesh
