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.

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.

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
