windows command line:
pip3 install esphome --upgrade
Or
pip3 install esphome -U

(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"

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.

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

Hello, how can I extend inputs and outputs?
Can I use KC868-HA V2?
   

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.

Witch PH and chlorine sensor do you recommend for KC868-A8 (swimmingpool)?

Hello.

I would like to buy boards that combine KC868-A32 relay board and M30 30CH AC energy meter board into a single board.

No need of 32 Channels, 16 Channels will be enough.

No need of leds or phisical switches because it will be controlled via RJ45 on Esphome/Homeassistant.

Small size and suitable for rack mount into power distribution box.

AC measurements via direct wiring, like a smart plug does (no clamps needed).

I couldn't find anything like that on the market and I think It will be the ideal board to install on home domotics.

Best,

Hi,

in the advertisement for the KC868-A6, there is an image of an extensive library of samples. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find them. Can anyone help?

Hello,

Could you please share what CPU is used for KC868-H32B?

The context is that some time ago I was discussing that I cannot upgrade my controller to latest firmware. It was find out that I have H32 controller with CPU STM32F103 and I was suggested to replace CPU to AT32F403.

Yesterday I replaced the CPU and wanted to  flash to it bootloader and firmware, however I cannot found this CPU in STVP software.

Could you please advice with that?
