Hello, everyone, This article / video I will show you why we make these smart home automation lessons.

Because the smart home is not a simple subject. It is a comprehensive application of network, software, hardware, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data.

It will not only involve the WAN, LAN, operating system and program that we often encounter.

It will also involve the hardware technologies such as MCU and sensors.

It will also involve the application of the latest artificial intelligence technology, face recognition, character recognition, speech recognition and so on.

Because it covers a wide range of areas, many enthusiasts who want to make their home become smart, but they do not know where to start.

Many people fall into some troubles and waste a lot of time because they mistakenly choose software and hardware or maybe have wrong configure.

We make this video lessons allows anyone who wants to enter this field to get started quickly, So you can avoid all kinds of annoying mistakes in the process, and let you contact and learn all kinds of knowledge in the process of hands-on.

We insist that each video contains real and complete operation, so that you can follow it and certainly you can achieve results. We choose home assistant as the core software platform because it is the hottest open source smart home project, Because it has a complete and open API, because it has thousands of components and can interact with various external devices and cloud services.

We choose kc868-server as the hardware operation platform because it integrates the CM4 industrial module of raspberry pie. It not only has good system compatibility, but also has low power consumption and is suitable for long-term power on at home.

From the installation of raspberry pie to the end, we will work together, we will make a smart power distribution box that can control the electrical appliances in the home, We have carefully prepared dozens of practical contents.

It covers all kinds of smart device access, camera access, face recognition, voice recognition, hardware DIY, apple mobile phone integration, virtual machine, remote access, front-end interface customization, automation, Node-red and other aspects.

Smart home covers a wide range. Follow the video. You can start quickly and save a lot of time. Smart home covers a wide range. Follow the video, you can learn wonderful knowledge in different fields.

Hi

I'm tyring to use a K868-Uair with ESPHome but I have some problems ! According at Kincony ducomentation it should GPIO32 and 33 to control RGB LEDs of bottom ring and vertical bar ! Unhappy these two GPIOs are doing exactly the same thing: control the ring only and only 3 LEDs of it
Someone has the proper GPIO configuration of that board ?
Noticed also that the Dallas temperature sensor is a chinese copy I think as it's 4/5° offset of other temperature sensors I have in the room

Code used so far in ESPHome for LEDs:

KC868-COLB support use by MQTT or TCP Server or TCP Client work mode. When using MQTT, use Json format send command. When using TCP by HEX format command. KC868-COLB's PC software support "DEBUG" mode for programmer developing.
   
open your KC868-COLB PC software, use mouse left button quick click > 5 times will enable "DEBUG" mode.


   
this page for debug relay


   
this page for read digital input, analog input and DS18B20 temperature sensor data.

   
this page for debug set temperature and analog input threshold and RTC clock

   
This is write RTC clock example.

for example, set RTC clock:
we set 2022-03-08  21:38:00 to KC868-COLB

send command is:
5E 01 32 C0 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 16 03 08 15 26 00

0x5E 01 : begin byte, never change it.
0x32 C0: command type
0x06 00: message length  now the message is "16 03 08 15 26 00"  total 6 bytes
0x00 ... ... 00  38 of 0x00 retain bytes, not chang it.
0x16 03 08 15 26 00 is year,month,date, hour,minute,second
0x16=22 use two last number of year, default begin with20 so year=2022
0x03=03
0x08=08
0x15=21
0x26=38
0x00=00

install the ZigBee dongle will support ZigBee 3.0 device by zigbee2mqtt in home assistant.

   

A is +, K is - for IR tube
   

This cable is extend IR for 3 meter.
   

IR receiver: GPIO22
IR sender: GPIO23
433MHz wireless receiver: GPIO13
GPIO-1: GPIO4
GPIO-2: GPIO5
GPIO-3: GPIO18
GPIO-4: GPIO19

GPIO1-4 can use for LED Strip/DS18B20/DHT11/21 Temperature and humidity sensor.
