Hello to All,

I found kincony project very promising for my place so I wish to ask you about some support with choosing components.
At the moment I have all cables collected in one big box - cat 5e from all monostable wall switches (light and roller shutters). I have also standalone server with HA and panel/tablet for it.

I have 110 inputs to connect (from switches) and around 80 outputs(lights, roller shutters etc). Also I wish to use google voice control, have some zigbee/z-wave devices, control irrigation sprinkler systems and maybe some other home things like alarm (get info from its sensors), air condition, heating, recuperation etc.

I thought home assistant will give me possibility to tie together and control everything together with help of some kincony components and esphome:
-multiple KC868-A32 or KC868-A8
or
-multiple mosfet KC868-A16 (or KC868-A64) connected with KC868-E16V2 (preferred because relays like to be broken)
of course also zigbee gateway.

Would it work? or I need to get also some controller like KC868-H32B, KC868-H32B Pro or KC868-H32BS? if yes than could you shortly tell me why? or if it is optional in my case than would I have any benefits of getting it and could you please advice me optimal architecture for my needs?

thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

Hi,

Using ESPHome and HomeAssistant.


Have hooked up a 12v irrigation solenoid (normally closed) to relay 8 but it is getting really hot even when it is off. 

I have it wired and coded like this:

12v jumper cable (from the board power) to the (COM) on relay 8
GND jumper cable (from the board power) to the solenoid
(NC) to the solenoid

Hi,

Using ESPHOME in Home Assistant.

I have 2 of these float sensor switches. How should I be wiring them up to the board and coding in ESPHome to get an "open/closed"? I thought that they would be an analog device but am not getting any readings.

Or am I using the wrong input?

Hi, I would like to as for help connecting a SCT013 10A CT clamp to one of the analog inputs.

Thank you for help

Hello, My Name is Ivonie Abejo and I am from Philippines, I am a start up company which provides a home security and home automation services in our country. I would like to request a product sample for me to be able to have a on knowledge of the product and offer it to our clients. I would like to have a KC868 product since it is perhaps the best products that i saw from your cahnnel.

Thank you and waiting for your prompt response.

the firmware support use by Tuya app, INPUT trigger OUTPUT and RF remote control 1-8 relay and ALL ON and ALL OFF. (need learn RF signal for every relay)
