Hello,

I made this rough plan. Please comment. Two questions in particular:

1) Does the KC868-COL allow both RS232 interfaces to be used in the way as described in the picture? I want to be able to do local IFTTT to all connected devices...
2) Do my IR panels require contactors to put them behind the KC868-H32L relay? I see the relays are rated for 10A, and the IR panels consume 900W at 230V, so less than 4A, but there are probably more things than amperage to consider?

Kind regards,

ff

improvement:

1. add relay control by webpage
2. support http command for developer integrate to third-party software to tun on/off relay and read relay state.
3. add web config password

KC868-H32B V4.01 firmware download: 
download the ZIP file , unzip update the bin file for KC868-H32B relay controller.

  Relay32_V401_210225.zip (Size: 46.79 KB / Downloads: 1311)
   

   

KC868-H32B relay controller will support http get command for software developer. This is a new way for integration to third software platform.
   

example for turn ON/OFF relay 1 command:


http://192.168.1.10/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay01=O...d=admin123    // relay1 ON
http://192.168.1.10/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay01=O...d=admin123  // relay1 OFF

http://192.168.1.10/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay02=O...d=admin123    // relay2 ON
http://192.168.1.10/sw_ctl.cgi?Relay02=O...d=admin123  // relay2 OFF

every board will have password inside.

After watching sir's video i have bridged my Alexa and Node-RED, but whenever i turn on the switch in Alexa, Alexa says "Switch is turn On" but there is no response at the output sir. I got these errors in my Raspberry Pi terminal:

Error: getDevices status: 401
Error: getDevices returned data: undefined

I have no problem in the flow as i can connect and interact with my Alexa trough Noed-RED but i have selected GPIO [pin 5] as my output pin in which i cant get observe any response. Debug also indicates that switch is On and Off respectively. i fear there is miss connection of server. im from Malaysia.

PC software update V1.0.407.0220 for KC868-COL and KC868-COLB logical controller.

user not need update firmware, only replace with new PC software package is ok.
download link: https://www.kincony.com/download/Kincony...7.0220.zip

V1.0.407.0220 improvement:
1. remember C/F temperature setting, re open the software will remember use C or F unit last time setting.
2. fixed IF condition temperature value can't input decimal number.
3. IFTTT debug information replace some character with < >, channel number ... etc
4. add remarks function for every IFTTT command, so that user can easy to understand every IFTTT command means
5. support use analog temperature sensor for AI port that range can use by "-" Negative temperature. Such as analog temperature rage from -20℃----+80℃

Hello,

My wife and I are currently evaluating automation solutions for our countryside house. We have narrowed down to two alternatives:
- Kincony KC868-H32L+ KC868-D8+ KC868-COL+ KC868 button switch module
- a Bulgarian competitor that offers a builtin web server on his controllers. I will not name them. I am polite.


Can you please document how to write an IFTTT rule to the KC868-COL using only free and open source software (Linux, netcat, python, whatever)? "No" is a perfectly valid answer. I suspect this might be a bit more complicated than just

Hai,

We are designing one product with a combination of three relays and One dimmer. We already used the android app for controlling the relay and controlling the dimmer separately.

But now we need to add 3plus1 products to the device list. I'm not able to merge the both relay and dimmer module.

Example: If I select a 3plus1 product in the device list, it should update three on/off control and one dimmer control as one product on the home page of the Application.

Please help me to solve the problem...Thanks in advance !!!!!!

Our IoT products is open protocol and have demo source code, anyone can download from our github or download center to modify or edit the code.

KinCony's github: https://github.com/hzkincony

If you are interested and have some creative ideas, you can make various apps or make some improvement and share them with everyone. We will provide 10-100usd  Aliexpress official online store coupons, which can be used in the same year. We hope that we can work together to improve the products, so that everyone can afford the smart home products and bring everyone new life experience in the simplest way.

Hello everyone,

I am looking to get some answers on how to start planning for a smart home in North America.
Our power supply here is 120V 60hz and we currently have a Siemens Breaker Panel.

According to the Electrical Code a power distribution box needs CSA approval (Canada).

Can I use the Kincony box with 16 channels?

I would like to control lights and a few outlets.
The electrician is pulling new dedicated wires for the lights I would like to control individually.

The standard cables we use here are 14/2 Romex.

Can I install the kincony box in between the breaker box and wiring of the house?

What type of cable do I connect to kincony box, regular 14/2 romex? 

I would like to use the following as well:
Sensors for gas leak
Sensors for water level
Sensors for humidity and temperature
Sensors for motion
Sensors for contact at doors and windows

Do you know where to buy for good price and good quality that would work with kincony system?

Can the sensors be hardwired or are there wireless options?
How many of them can I use? 3x water sensors & 3 gas sensors?

Side question
What is the best camera to use for local recording with Ethernet powered capabilities? 
Maybe used with NAS?

I am also looking for light switches that could work with kincony system. Minimalistic but intelligent functionality like dimming and programmable.


I hope someone can help me walk in the right direction.
Thank you.

Hi, using COL daily to manage the whole house, I am noticing things that are annoying in the long run. every time I connect it starts with F as degrees reading and not C as I would like. with IFTTT when I program the "IF" condition and select the temperature sensor, I cannot put values with commas. for example I would like to put 20.5 ° C but ", 5" it is not possible to insert it. or 20 or 21. I buffered using the conversion to F and entered 69 but I don't think a solution .. thank you!
