  Nextion display work with KC868-A4
Posted by: admin - 09-23-2022, 02:59 AM - Forum: KC868-A4 - Replies (5)

i have removed RF433M receiver, RF433M sender and IR receiver. actually use want to use VCC,GND,RXD,TXD for Nextion display.

define RXD:GPIO23 TXD:GPIO21 by ESP32

here are some photos:
   
   
   

This just a simplest demo, use Nextion display two buttons, press button-one will send 'a' by serial port, press button-two will send 'b' by serial port.
when KC868-A4 received 'a' will turn ON relay1, when received 'b' will turn OFF relay1.

firstly create two buttons UI by Nextion Editor PC software:
   
   

here is firmware BIN file, you can download to KC868-A4 ESP32 directly to use:

.zip   nextion_KC868-A4.ino.nodemcu-32s.zip (Size: 102.25 KB / Downloads: 712)
here are source code:

Code:
String indata="";
String val="";

const int Relay1 = 2;
const int Relay2 = 15;
const int Relay3 = 5;
const int Relay4 = 4;

void setup() {
  pinMode(Relay1,OUTPUT);   //Relay1 IO2
  pinMode(Relay2,OUTPUT);  //Relay2 IO15
  pinMode(Relay3,OUTPUT);   //Relay3 IO2
  pinMode(Relay4,OUTPUT);   //Relay4 IO2
  Serial1.begin(9600,SERIAL_8N1,23,21);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  while(Serial1.available()>0)
  {
    indata+=char(Serial1.read());
    delay(2);
    if(Serial1.available()<=0)
     {
        Serial.println(indata);
     }
  } 
  if(indata.length()>0)
  {
     val=indata;  
     if(val=="a")  
       {
         digitalWrite(Relay1,HIGH);
         Serial.println("Relay1-ON OK!");
       }
     else if(val=="b")
      {
         digitalWrite(Relay1,LOW);
         Serial.println("Relay1-OFF OK!");
      }
  }
  indata=""; 
}

  [Arduino IDE demo source code for KC868-A8S]--#12-Send SMS to many phone numbers
Posted by: admin - 09-21-2022, 05:27 AM - Forum: KC868-A8S - No Replies

This demo source code, you just replace with your 10 phone numbers, then will send one SMS to 10 mobile phone, you can also send to many many mobile phone number in loop() function.
   
   
// make sure set your Serial2 pins in your "HardwareSerial.cpp" for ESP32 as follows:
//#define RX2  15
//#define TX2  13

   

Code:
//code use for KC868-A8S board

int data;
String message;
unsigned long int last;

void setup()
{
String phone1,phone2,phone3,phone4,phone5,phone6,phone7,phone8,phone9,phone10;
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial2.begin(115200);
 
 
  Serial.print("start test");
  phone1="15381100000";

  send_sms("Test message from KinCony KC868-A8S",phone10);

}

void loop()
{
check_sms_responce();
}

void send_sms ( String sms, String number)
{
      Serial2.print("AT+CMGF=1\r");  //Set text mode
      delay(1000);
      Serial2.print("AT+CMGS=\""+ number +"\"\r"); //Send message
      delay(1000);
      Serial2.print(sms);//Text message
      Serial2.println((char)0x1A); //Ctrl+Z
}

  Tasmota Configuration file or Precompiled firmware for KC868-A8S
Posted by: pacitzu - 09-20-2022, 10:45 AM - Forum: KC868-A8S - Replies (11)

is there a configuration file or pre-compiled firmware for the KC868-A8S board?

I found this guide for the KC868-A8 board https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1128

but I have not found any guide to be able to use the KC868-A8S board with Tasmota.

Ok the two boards KC868-A8 and KC868-A8S are similar but there are some differences:
for example how can I configure the Rs485 with Tasmota.

Thank you

Does the power meter measure battery DC voltage? If not, can you add it as a sensor to measure DC voltage?

  Nitrogen/Phosphorus/kalium/Humidity/Temperature and PH Sensors
Posted by: subas - 09-17-2022, 02:03 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (14)

Dear Admin

I am starting a new project in a Farm. 
I would like your recommendation of the sensors that can read the following either as 6 in 1 or separate sensors. It must be matching with the KINCONY Control board and application to read these sensors.

1. Nitrogen
2. Phosphorus
3. kalium 
4. Humidity
5. Temperature
6. PH

Can you please recommend which probe from KINCONY can i purchase and which COL-B board should i purchase where the data collected at the Farm is about 1 hectare and we need to send the data back to the control room?

Hi 


i have one KC868-E16S and i am planning to buy one A64. so i want to connect temperature sensors. now i see that there is no connector like the A8 has... so no solution to connect those 1-wire sensors?
