  Kincony AS
Posted by: fdcemb5 - 08-30-2025, 05:22 AM - Forum: KinCony AS - Replies (26)

I had a problem installing the YAML file for Kincony AS, as the line rmt_channel: 0 in the YAML file flagged red; every effort to identify it failed. I then removed rmt_channel: 0 and was to install it in ESPHome.  The device was discovered and I followed the instruction to complete the configuration. The device doesn't turn to listening after I say 'hey jarvis'. It remains idle. What could caused this? See attachedpicture

  CT's for the N60
Posted by: ghulands - 08-27-2025, 04:49 PM - Forum: N60 - Replies (1)

Hi,
I see on the specs section of the page it lists the CT's needed as

Quote:2000:1 CT clamp “voltage” sensor
I have a lot of 20A and 60A rated CT's already installed from a previous energy monitor that no longer works. They have a label on them stating
Quote:60A / 0.45V
20A / 0.45V
Is there a way to reuse these CT's with the N60?

I see on the Kincony store that you have these CT's for sale, is the 25A one a 2000:1 CT?

Does the 250A CT work with the N60? I'm guessing not as it looks like it is 3000:1. It would be great if you could update the CT pages to show compatibility with the N60.

Thanks,
Greg

  KC868-A16 bind ports input/output
Posted by: wojtech - 08-25-2025, 10:38 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hello. I've updated the KC868-A16 to firmware v2.2.14 and can't configure the input/output port binding. I don't see such an option on the website. Does this version not have this option? How do I configure Home Assistant to work with the KC868-A16 with the "KCS" firmware?

I don't have these settings:

  IIC header
Posted by: CCampbell - 08-23-2025, 04:01 PM - Forum: KC868-A16S - Replies (3)

Hi, I would like to integrate a few Bosch BME688 environmental sensors and connect IIC.  Which header is the bus on?  I read that there are only two channels available, so I have a TCA9548A IIC 8-channel expansion board.
