HAv2 ESPHome

Posted by: rhinoperth - 04-07-2026, 06:46 AM - Forum: KC868-HA /HA v2 - Replies (5)

Hi Team,

I'm having trouble getting the external components working since the ESPHome changes.

I keep getting the below error when I try and compile. I have cleaned up all the build files etc and still no change.

Code:

KC868-A16 v1.6 – relays 9–16 not working in ESPHome

Posted by: dilo@interia.eu - 04-06-2026, 08:55 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hi,

I use KC868-A16 (version 1.6).

I flashed ESPHome and I can control relays 1–8 correctly.
But relays 9–16 are not working.

I2C scan shows:
0x21, 0x22, 0x24, 0x25

PCF8574 at 0x24 works fine.
PCF8574 at 0x25 is detected but relays don’t respond.

I tried different pin mappings but still only first 8 relays work.

Can you provide correct ESPHome YAML for this hardware version?

Thank you.
I can provide logs or photos if needed.

	i have 2 old controlles, H32L and H32B. i want to control them by KC-868 AK. so the H32B controller i set as TCP SERVER, both ethernet and wifi, AND in the kc-868 ak i enabled tcp client and put the ip adress of the controller and the port, and it works well. now my question is : can i control the second controller H32L by UDP?

false start with KC868 A16 v3

Posted by: PhVdP - 04-04-2026, 05:40 PM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (5)

Hi,

I received the KC868-A16v3; wired as documentation, powered it on, flashered it with latest firmware, changed the USB cable ... but it's not working : only a red led is lighting, no ethernet connection setting (green light on the board, orange light on the router). I've tried with another usb cable, pressing buttons reset/rebootable during power it on... Still impossible to connect. I've tried with Putty and serial communication with the USD cable; without success...

Any idea is welcome.

New TA web interface unavailable

Posted by: pbouwen - 04-03-2026, 01:55 PM - Forum: TA - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

Just received my first Kincony device; a Tiny Alarm system.

Unfortunately, I don't succeed in accessing the web interface to set it up for use with Home Assistant.
I powered it with PoE and looked up the assigned IP address in my router.
When I try accessing that IP in my browser, I get the message that the page can't be reached.
I can ping the IP however.

Rebooting the device did not help.
Holding the reset button for +10 seconds also did not change anything.

What other steps can I take to troubleshoot this?
Should I try to reflash it? I'm using a Mac so not my preferred option.

Thanks in advance for your help!
