hey,

i read here in forum that a module with 32 I/O is planed. so i have some questions

is it planed with relays or mosfets?
i2c possible?
release date?
12V or 24V?
which other additional inputs are planed? (analog in/out etc...)


greetings

We have successfully developed the most innovative product — KC868-Server. KC868-Server is a super smart controller for smart home automation and industrial automation control. KC868-Server smart controller support MOSFET output and wall switch connect to it directly. Also have analog input and digital input ports. The most important is integrated Raspberry pi CM4 module. Also integrated ESP32 module for you to write your own code. It’s very powerful and flexible.

a. Support different work mode:

UDP (connect with KinCony’s Cloud server)
TCP Server (controller work as a server)
TCP Client (controller connect to any user’s server)
MQTT (connect to any MQTT broker server)

b. Output auto recovery when power failure
c. every channel output can set momentary time independently (1—10000 seconds)
d. user can define “double click” action for every switch buttons.
e. input sensor filter time can set 10ms—1 second.
f. 16 switch buttons support multi-click MQTT message feedback.

improvement:

Enable base address for MODBUS protocol, so that can turn ON/OFF some relays by one MODBUS command.

download the ZIP file , unzip update the bin file for KC868-H32BS relay controller by USB-RS232 cable.

Anybody interested in using the KC868-H32B with Loxone, has to select "Virtual Outputs" and import this template. After this file is imported only the IP address as per user's ip address has to be give. There is no need to configure all the 32 relays for ON and OFF commands.

Thanks for Mr wilson from Kuwait shared this config file.

The yaml file for de kc868-a16 is giving errors i a will validate this in homeassistant.

Is there a newer version?

Dear Admin
I will stat soon to build my DIY of home automation board for my garden as first test for Kincony products before order the rest of hose kincony home.
 automation.
As you discussrd yhe channel load arround 4 A - 220 v each then i will connect 220v load circuits directly to the controller through channel 1 phase CB for each.
Can i use 10A CB for each channel load ?
There are in the market lower to 6A but expensive almost double price of 10A.
Is it ok to protect the controller by 10A CB?

these are tasmota firmware BIN file for KC868-A16.
after you download, you need config wifi ssid and password by board's AP.

Hi. 
I need to connect and read data from button switch module in home assistant, resp. in Node red. 
I have connected RS232 (button switch module) to USB (PC with home assistant and Node red). 
Can someone please help me what should I set in home assistant up. Resp. what node in Node red should I use? Settings of this node? 

Thank you. 
Jirka

Can i use eWeLink app to control Kincony controllers instead of Kbox ?
