  KinCony DM16 Smart Dimmer Controller released
Posted by: admin - 09-09-2025, 02:25 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

KinCony DM16 ESP32 smart dimmer controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. Support 16 channel DC 0-10v output, 7 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 4 channel ADS1115 16bit analog input ports. One SD card using SPI bus. DM16 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. OLED display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and Tuya connection state. DM16 have 2pcs of RS485 port. one RS485 connect with ARM CPU, support use by modbus directly. Another RS485 work with ESP32. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. DM16 use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support KinCony cloud service (official shop customer free 2 years), remote monitor and control device by webpage in anywhere. KCS v3 support KinCony board integrate to Loxone Miniserver. Support Apple HomeKit for Siri.

Sad AG Pro - Disappointed
Posted by: vishal.alex@gmail.com - 09-08-2025, 11:54 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (5)

I brought the AG Pro in June of 2024 when i saw that it had all in one as a Gateway. It was advertised in such a way that it was all in one solution. But as soon as i received it, i found that many of the things advertised is not functioning out of the box. the Zigbee had to be used with tasmota and remaining functions like IR, RF, Tuya and to be with Kincony firmware. and on top of this both firmware cannot work together. I some how managed to flash the Tasmota firmware because i needed the ZHA integration.. and this worked until last month. Now the tasmota firmware has failed to recognize the Zigbee device inside. i tried rolling back to several tasmota version but it all remains the same. 

I sent a message to their support and all the response i get is to change the firmware. I feel dumped.. Kincony should have either fixed the firmware issues or informed the customer that these problems exits. 92$(inc Shipping) wasted.

  "KCS" v3.12.0 firmware BIN file download
Posted by: admin - 09-06-2025, 04:56 AM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - No Replies

v3.12.0 improvement:
1. Adapt to new KinCony Controller: B8/B8M/B24/B24M/DM16
2. Sensor pull-up option: When PCB include pull-up resistor, "pull-up" will auto shown as enabled
3. Network webpage -- LAN mode will show the actual ethernet IP address
4. GSM phone list: Add ID numbers
5. Password-related inputs option added masking
6. Sensor configuration webpage: added sensor name
7. IFTTT "sensor channel" change to "sensor name" have preset
8. Removed default MQTT port number "1883"
9. IFTTT THEN actions: Add "step value" for AO (analog output)
10. improve previous version first time downloaded firmware boot up speed slowly issue.

  Unable to connect with firmware tool
Posted by: zmatthiaz - 09-05-2025, 06:04 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (1)

I have a kc868-h32b I can log in to the webpanel just fine with ethernet and I can see it has firmware H32B_Pro_V1.19

I can connect the USB-C to my windows 10 machine. And it shows up as COM4. 
I can click "OPEN PORT" as soon as the device restarts
But when I click on the bootloader detect button nothing happens

I've tried restarting the device more than 50 times. With varying timings and Baudrates. But no change. I never get the results shown in the youtube video

How do I debug this, what am I doing wrong? 
Is the USB C version different than what is shown in the video?

  using HAv2 with KC868-D
Posted by: swisstmack25 - 09-05-2025, 01:05 PM - Forum: KC868-HA /HA v2 - Replies (1)

Can you provide a solution to utilise the KC868-D 8 and 16 channel dimmer over KC868-HAv2 RS485 interface 
I would like to use multiple KC868-HAv2 (8 of them) connecting over RS485 to the Dimming module and all to the F16 device

I want to use some of the switch paddles for the dimmer and others to switch the outputs on the F16.
thanks
