Thumbs Up How to connect PZEM004T AC Sensor in KC868 series products?
Posted by: kovalank - 03-15-2023, 01:51 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (5)

Hi,
Your products are very useful and those are present & futuristic designs, I have planned for 16 relay control, 4 Analog sensors, 4 Temperature sensors, and Eneryg Monitor(like PZEM004T) 
before that, I have some doubts, Can I use the PZEM004T AC sensor in KC868 A16 or KC 868 A32? if yes how to use please explain in depth.
Or any other suggestions, please? advance Thanks for your reply  Smile

  Product idea: A Series output only board
Posted by: spacerunner - 03-14-2023, 02:26 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (15)

Hi,

It would be nice to have the opposite of a KC868-AI board but for outputs only.  Call it KC868-AO Smile.

Maybe for 32 / 64 channels, without extras like inputs. Just the MOSFET driver lines, ESP32, ethernet RJ45 and maybe I2C, RS485 or some other serial header.

Just ordered a KC868-A128 because I wanted the output flexibility of Mosfets, but the entire loaded board is actually too much.

Having Inputs and Outputs separated and both driven by ESP32s would be awesome. It eliminates single points of failure a bit and you could physically spread I/O across wider locations by simply using ethernet.

  input sensors
Posted by: briansmit6@gmail.com - 03-14-2023, 07:54 AM - Forum: KC868-A8S - Replies (4)

Hello everyone, 

i would like to connect more than 1 sensor to the board. But in the description i read "1 connector for connecting temperature and other sensors" 

Did someone tried to connect more than 1 sensor to it or is there a multiplex module available ?

  KS868-A Series multiple questions
Posted by: spacerunner - 03-14-2023, 07:14 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (7)

Hi,

just a fest questions about different A-Series ESP32 controllers:

1. Are the dry contact inputs of the KCS868-AI the same as on the KC868-A16/64/128 ? (anti-interference, ling range etc)

2. Can the dry contact inputs of KCS868-AI or KC868-A16/64/128 also be driven by external voltage, such as +5V or +12V?

3. Can the MOSFET outputs of KC868-A16/64/128 also drive +5V instead of 12V/24V?

4. Can the MOSFET outputs of KC868-A16/64/128 drive different voltages per 8-PIN-Block? For example 12V output on A1-A8, 24V output on B9-B16, 5V output on B73-B80?

  KC868-A4 dht22 problem
Posted by: Joseph.o - 03-13-2023, 11:19 PM - Forum: KC868-A4 - Replies (9)

i'm using a dht22 and input 1 and output1.
i made a simple code where i'm showing the dht22 value in the serial monitoring and  when the intput1 is colsed i made the output1 in the ON state, and if the input1 is open the ouptput1 is OFF.
in the simulation everting work fine and the value of the dht22 sonsor is correct.

but when i add an lamp in the output1 and turn it on and off the value of the dht22 becomes null.
i tried to modify the code like add a delay... but no result. dht22 becomes null.

 here is my simple source code:

Code:
#define output1 4
#define input1   36


#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 13     // Digital pin connected to the DHT sensor
#define DHTTYPE DHT22 
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);



int temperatureSonde=0;

void setup() {
 
  Serial.begin(9600);
dht.begin();

pinMode(output1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(input1,INPUT);
}

int loading=0;

void loop() {

if (digitalRead(input1)==0 && digitalRead(output1)==0){digitalWrite(output1,1);
//delay(100);
}
else if(digitalRead(input1)==1 && digitalRead(output1)==1){digitalWrite(output1,0);
//delay(100);
}


/*********************humidity***************************/
// Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds!
  // Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds 'old' (its a very s0 sensor)
  float h = dht.readHumidity();


  // Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
  if (isnan(h) ) {
      Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
    }


  Serial.print(F("Humidity: "));
  Serial.println(int(dht.readHumidity()));

/********************************************************/





delay(100);

}// end loop()

  Strange Behavior
Posted by: Philadam - 03-13-2023, 10:32 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (5)

I have a 4 gang momentary switch connected to input positions 1-4 and GND on my A16. When I push the buttons I would expect outputs 1-4 to be triggered, instead outputs 9-12 are triggered. Plus, if I push the buttons fast, the A16 seems to get confused and the outputs either freeze or aren't triggered.
I have the latest KCS firmware installed  v1.0.15.

Any ideas on why this is happening.
I have attached pictures.

  Homekit firmware for KC868-A32
Posted by: krokodilik - 03-13-2023, 07:44 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (15)

Hi guys,

i have bought KC868-A32 board, and my plan is to use relays on board to control some devices using apple homekit environment.
I am not going to implement or develop any software. I just need to flash firmware for this board and then add it to homekit.

However i am struggling what firmware/software/bin to use, or how to do it. I have successfully flashed KCS firmware but it is not supporting homekit.
I found that homespan package in ArduinoIDE would help, but as i said i am not going to develop software based on examples.
i want to automate devices within homekit.

Please advice how to make relays in KC868-A32 board visible in homekit. Is some homekit firmware available and ready for use like for HB32-PRO?
Actually i bought this board because it was stated that it supports homekit.

Thank you.

Miroslav
