Hello,

I recently bought some kincony modules to test. I want to make a smart home with modules made by kincony and Home assistant using ESPhome. My problem is this. I'm trying to use KC868-A16 with ESPhome and I can't decode the 433 MHz RF signal. (Of course I bought the KC868-A16 with the RF Transmit and receive modules). I saw "Lesson31- How to decode 433MHz RF signal and control RF device by ESPHome". According to the wiring diagram for KC868-A16, GPIO 2 is 433 MHz receive, and GPIO 15 is 433 MHz transmit. I use a common 433MHz remote control that has 4 buttons and I can't get any signal. Please help me solve this problem. Below is the configuration I have in KC868-A16.

If device is in Client mode, why I don't receive any kind of string (hex, ansistring or else) on my server if digital input change state?
with COLB I receive the string about any input changes
thank you

backup          Store system backup contents

ssl                 Store the private key and certificate file for encrypted transmission

media            Media files

addons          Store local add on, which is generally used for add-on development

share             Shared content with no specific purpose

What is add-on

Add-on is other software running in parallel with home assistant core

Add-on can be installed / started / configured through home assistant supervisor

Hi
I have KC868-H32 (2020 year)
And raspberry pi 3B+

some qestions
1) What firmware should I have to controll from RPi 
2) Can I upload new firmware via VircomTool on KC868-H32 ?
3) the next steps are the same as for 32B? like this https://www.kincony.com/kc868-h32b-integ...-mqtt.html

improvement:

1. fixed bug in "TCP Client" mode wrong LED color.

KC868-COLB V1.11 firmware download:

  AD_COLB_V1_1_11_220314.zip (Size: 41.58 KB / Downloads: 992)
download the ZIP file , unzip update the bin file for KC868-COLB logical controller.

improvement:

1. update for static apply CPU memory mode, so that improve mqtt stability. 
2. Fixed the bug that some times more than 23 relays could not be controlled at the same time

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

Good morning,

I wanted to know which sensors can be used for the analog inputs of COL. from the textbook it says 0-5V, but often the sensors are resistive.

I would need to monitor a temperature from 0 to 100 degrees.

thank you

1. install rpiboot.exe for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 eMMC USB driver.
    For Windows Installer
    For those who just want to enable the Compute Module eMMC as a mass storage device under Windows, the stand-alone installer is the recommended option.

        1. Please ensure you are not writing to any USB devices whilst the installer is running.
        2. Download and run the Windows installer to install the drivers and boot tool.

  rpiboot_setup.zip (Size: 9.9 MB / Downloads: 1817)
        3. Plug your host PC USB into the KC868-Server USB port, making sure you have setup the board as described above.
        4. Apply power to the board; Windows should now find the hardware and install the driver.
        5. Once the driver installation is complete, run the RPiBoot.exe tool that was previously installed.
        6. After a few seconds, the Compute Module eMMC will pop up under Windows as a disk (USB mass storage device).

2. install home assistant OS to Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4's eMMC.

    Write the image to KC868-Server. if CM4 have eMMC, not need insert SD card. if CM4 without eMMC, Attach the Home Assistant boot media (SD card) to your computer or by USB card reader.

    1. Download and start Balena Etcher tool.
    2. Download home assistant for Raspberry Pi image:  https://github.com/home-assistant/operat...7.4.img.xz and unzip it.

    3. Select “Flash from file”


    4.  “Select target”



    5. Select the SD card or eMMC driver you want to use for your Raspberry Pi


    6. Click on “Flash!” to start writing the image

    7. When Balena Etcher is finished writing the image you will get this confirmation


START UP YOUR KC868-Server
    1. Insert the boot media (SD card) you just created. if use eMMC , skip this step.
    2. Attach an Ethernet cable for network.
    3. Attach the power cable.
    4. In the browser of your Desktop system, within a few minutes you will be able to reach your new Home Assistant on homeassistant.local:8123.

    If you are running an older Windows version or have a stricter network configuration, you might need to access Home Assistant at homeassistant:8123 or http://X.X.X.X:8123 (replace X.X.X.X with your KC868-Server's IP address).
    With the Home Assistant Operating System installed and accessible you can continue with onboarding.
