Hi !

I think about buying the KC868-A8 module for controlling my heating system by external signals.

The KC868-A8 board shall be connected via ethernet to my home assistant device which will control the board (switching relais to control the temperature, set heating or cooling mode and so on).

This is clear so far and I think this can be done relatively easily.

What is not clear for me at the moment:

How does the KC868-A8 board react ....

... if home assistant freezes or the ethernet connection is gone ?

...  if there is a power loss and power comes back ?

Does it go always to the state "all relays" off -> which would mean a safe state in my case ?

Is there a way to supervise the board or turn off all relais in case of any failure coming from home assistant ?

Is there a way to control the proper functioning of the board itself respectively the relais ?

With the 8 relais I only want to switch "signals" no "load" -> Are this relais suitable for this purpose ?

For how many switching cycles are the relais designed ?


Thank you for your feedback.

Here is Factory Original Firmware for KC868-E16T. You can use Tuya mobile phone application directly. it supprt remote control by internet and manual control buttons and on board. Support learn RF signal send control for relay.

How does KC868-E16T learn wireless signals see here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3169

Download the following program, you can turn on and turn off the relays by a wireless remoter

click "dump.bat" to read ESP32 board. it will save file as "firmware.bin".
click "flash.bat" to write any other new ESP32 board by "firmware.bin".

Good Morning,


Is it possible to have the inputs independent of the dimmers in MQTT ?

The ideia is to use these inputs in home assistant to actuate others elements in my house. 

The ideia is to publish the state of these inputs.

Is this available in any firmware version for KC868-D16 ?

Thank you

Best regards

Hi!

Two leds (output status led) accidentally damaged on board during installation, what model number are them that I can search for replacements? Or do you sell spares?

Hello,


I'm a newbie for Kincony.

I have some KC868-A32 boards, I just connect and all work perfect.

However, with a KC868-D16, I connect the ethernet cable and my router do not detect them and no IP given ?

Is this normal ?

How to connect to the board in the very first time?

Thank you
