  Screws to lock the board on the back of the box
Posted by: Domdsq - 04-25-2024, 10:27 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (8)

Hi everyone, I need to know which screws to buy to be able to fix the card directly to the back of the box (as indicated in the photo). I need to remove the front part of the box because in the European control panel the default box does not fit, it does not allow it to be closed correctly, so I have to find the correct screws to be able to do it. I attach photos. Thank you

  Smart lighting project - DIY software
Posted by: JackT99 - 04-21-2024, 11:53 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (26)

Hi Kincony,

I am building a new house and looking to use Kincony products to control lighting only. Well, maybe some aspects of security as well.

Differences from a usual case are:
1. Not interested in any existing home automation software, I want to write my own software in Arduino to do specific tasks only.
2. Not interested in things like Wifi control, phone apps etc etc. Mostly for it to work standalone.
3. Also not interested in 4G, voice controls etc etc.

I want to use wireless light switches only, for my own reasons. They can be Zigbee or RF433 from what I see sold on Aliexpress. I would like to have them talk to one central wireless hub that either talks to the central controller or is a central controller itself. 
Estimating <32 line outputs for lights, so probably using something like 2x KC868-E16V2 would work?

Can you recommend a suitable Kincony product(s) for this case and are there enough examples on how to work with Zigbee or RF433 and Kincony?

Many thanks,
Jack

  Issue with KC868-AIO-EXTAO--V1.2
Posted by: mahafree - 04-20-2024, 02:16 PM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (9)

Hello,
Since a few days I have been having problems with the analog outputs on my KC868-AIO. (KC868-AIO-EXTAO--V1.2)
channels 1 to 6 work normally
Channels 7 and 8 are off and no longer respond to anything. (the LEDs on the PCB are also off. With a voltmeter I measure 0V on the output)
channel 9 works normally.
Channels 10 and 11 are off and no longer respond to anything. (the LEDs on the PCB burn at 100%. With a voltmeter I measure 11.72V on the output)
When other channels are at 100% I measure 10.2V on the output.
channels 12 to 16 work normally.
When I disconnect all outputs, the above remains the same.
All other inputs and outputs work normally.

I have no idea what happened.
My configuration has not changed.
All outputs are connected to the exact same type of dimmers.

What else can I test?
Is there something wrong with the "KC868-AIO-EXTAO--V1.2" board?

Thank you in advance!

  Calibration issue M16v2
Posted by: RdP - 04-20-2024, 11:54 AM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (3)

Hi,

I've been strugeling with a calibration issue.

Code:
[13:25:21][D][ct_clamp:041]: 'Measured Current-16' - Raw AC Value: 0.010A after 216 different samples (432 SPS)
[13:25:21][D][sensor:094]: 'Measured Current-16': Sending state 0.13940 A with 5 decimals of accuracy

This is in the logging
But I specified this in the yaml config

Code:
  - platform: ct_clamp
    sensor: ai16
    id: Measured_Current_16
    name: "Measured Current-16"
    sample_duration: 500ms
    update_interval: 20s
    accuracy_decimals: 5     
    filters:
    - calibrate_linear:
      - 0.0 -> 0
      - 0.007 -> 0.004
      - 0.008 -> 0.004
      - 0.009 -> 0.004
      - 0.010 -> 0.004
      - 0.011 -> 0.004
      - 0.056480 -> 1.775
      - 0.114445 -> 3.61
      - 0.204695 -> 6.49
      - 0.286630 -> 9.01
      - 0.340460 -> 10.684
      - 0.535860 -> 16.89

A measured raw value of 0.010 should result in a 0.004 current value, but instead 0.13940 is the result.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Rien

Posted by: FelipeAlmanca - 04-20-2024, 02:52 AM - Forum: KC868-ATC / Tuya adapter V2 - Replies (12)

I received the board yesterday and start trying. The wifi state led blinks when its looking for conection, but after connect the led turn off, the switchs on Tuya app does not respond. After clean wifi config and connect again the app shows the switchs at the last change I did, and the wifi led star on and turn off after couple seconds. At the Tuya app shows all 32 switchs and the digital the inputs correct.

  kc868-a8 V1.5 flashing
Posted by: Vulcan - 04-19-2024, 01:11 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (12)

I am running two kc868-A6 with tasmota with no issues. I received my kc868-A8 and trying to flash it using the Kincony flash tool but it won't flash.
I am trying to load KC868A8_V2.0.6.bin with no luck and tried the latest version of Tasmota with the same results.
I  get the following:

Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...
Changing baud rate to 921600
Changed.
FLASH_CRYPT_CNT 0
ABS_DONE_0 False

is stub and send flash finish

In the tool panel I see a "AP number STA: number, BT: number and Ethernet: number

But the tool does not show it uploading. 
I am still pretty green when working with Kincony boards, what am I missing? Is there something I need to do on the board? 
I am using the CH driver and assume I am talking to the board given the panel is showing the AP, STA,BT and Ethernet?

Any help would be appreciated. I watched the videos and followed them exactly.

Also, could someone provide a URL for the scan tool, the link does not seem to work.

We have designed ESP32 SD card module - ATF. it can record data save file to SD card. It need you write arduino code. for example, you can receiver serial data write LOG file to SD card. You can read digital input sensor or temperature humidity sensor write to SD card. it's easy integrate to home assistant by ESPHome. ATF design for home automation DIYer. The hardware use by ESP32-D0WD-V3 / QFN-48-EP(5×5) chip, support ESPHome / arduino IDE / MicoPython.
