  Z1 Transmit action from. Home Asssistant
Posted by: paulbalinnel - 10-26-2025, 09:06 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (14)

Hello, please describe the best way to send an action from HA for RF to be transmitted from Z1.

Currently, I have a TV lift with a remote that has UP, STOP, and DOWN buttons. I have already programmed these as RF1, RF2, and RF3 in KCS. However, they appear in HA as binary sensors, not switches.

TCP and HTTP?

Thanks

  Reed water meter
Posted by: mdiessner - 10-25-2025, 05:42 AM - Forum: B16 - Replies (3)

I would like to use this product:
https://www.kincony.com/esp32-s3-16ch-sm...oller.html

In order to read water meter
https://www.transducers.co.za/media/1868...-meter.pdf

Please advise if this is possible, it not what else to use?

The idea is to count every pulse using the digital input, and increasing the count value and storing the value in case of reboot/power failure

Hello,

I would like to request a free sample, under conditions A and B. We are a 501c3 non profit educational makerspace in Austin Tx. We would like to develop a home automation class, and I believe your products would be a great platform to use. Please let me know if this works for you.

  Analog Input NTC
Posted by: Gazura36 - 10-22-2025, 09:22 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

Hello,
I’m trying to connect a 10 kΩ NTC temperature sensor to my KC868-A16 board.
Unfortunately, I don’t get any readings at all.
Which GPIO pins are actually used for the analog inputs?
I used the example code from this forum, but I don’t get any plausible values on any pin.
I also tested by connecting each pin to GND to rule out a sensor issue, but the readings still don’t change.
I’m stuck now — what is the correct code to read the analog inputs properly?
Thanks in advance for your help!

  IIC Not working
Posted by: Eggman - 10-22-2025, 08:16 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (4)

All of a sudden none of my sketches using IIC work on my boards.  In the past I have used the sketch below to scan the IIC bus,  I would expect to see several devices detected by default.  However it just says " "No I2C devices found".  I have tested this on several K868 boards.  How could this happen all of a sudden?  It is due to a change in the Arduino IDE environment?  Is it possible that something has changed withing Wire.h?

Many thanks for any assistance.

Posted by: edg72022 - 10-21-2025, 08:04 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

I try to find the way to control Output of KC868-A16.

I found the way to send information from KC868 but not on the other way.

Below a print screen of the way I used to do it.
and the link of data information
