  KC868 A8v3 RF not working with A-OK roller blind motor
Posted by: beegeenz - 01-12-2026, 10:41 AM - Forum: KC868-A8v3 - Replies (1)

Hello,
My KC-868 A8v3 is unable to learn the RF for my A-OK roller blinds.  Is there any special way to setup the RF in KC868 for roller blinds?

The blinds work ok with the factory supplied remote controller. 
The KC868 A8v3 can learn the RF for my garage controller ok.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Regards

  Separate +12V to Kincony, +24V to MOSFETs
Posted by: Toper - 01-11-2026, 04:47 PM - Forum: T128M - Replies (1)

Hi,
I have a question about power supply for T128.
I'm using 24 V relays (Finder 40.52) connected to the Digital Outputs.
I am considering two power options:

  1. Two power supplies (this version works fine since 2 days):
    • 12 V for the Kincony board (VCC),
    • 24 V only for the outputs,
    • common ground (GND) for both power supplies.
  2. One 24 V power supply:
    • 24 V connected to VCC and to LO.
My questions:
  • Is it safe to connect the grounds (GND) of the 12 V and 24 V power supplies together?
  • Does the manufacturer recommend using a common ground in this case?
  • From thermal and reliability point of view, is it better to power everything with 24 V, or use 12 V for VCC and 24 V only for outputs?

Thank you in advance for your help.
regards,
Toper

  linux command line / bash scripting
Posted by: almman - 01-11-2026, 06:49 AM - Forum: TA - Replies (2)

Hello,

I currently use AD2USB to communicate with my Honeywell Vista alarm system. Together with ser2sock (serial to socket), in bash/Linux, I use:

if exec 3</dev/tcp/localhost/444555 ; then
  cat <&3 | while read -t12 msg ; do
        # Print last keypad/console message.
        # Example: ****DISARMED****  Ready to Arm
        echo "$msg"
        sleep 1
  done
fi

There are also functions to send commands to the alarm as if it were typed on the keypad.

How does one send/receive to/from the TA ESP32-S3 via command line/bash scripts?

Thanks

  KC868-A16 v1 with KCS v2.x problem after add to Home Asistant
Posted by: adroot - 01-09-2026, 11:26 PM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (9)

Hi,
I have an older version of the Kincony KC868-A16 board (green). I install KCS version 2.2.17 or 2.2.18 on it. I can login in (www), and set my parameters. Then I add the prepared board to Home Assistant via ESP32. I add a new device, the ESP32, and a yaml file is generated. I copy its contents to Notepad. Then I clear the yaml file and paste the code from the ESP32 for HA website into the board. I replace the key entries with the one from Notepad. OTA, Wi-Fi. The code saves without any errors. I install it via USB. Reboot DC. Plugin ethernet cable. Everything is fine. Home Assistant sees the board and I can control relays, etc. And here's the problem description. But I can't access the board via a browser; it doesn't report its IP address. The board search tool doesn't see it either. But the I/O support in HA works. What am I doing wrong?

  KC868-A8 Relay Delay
Posted by: sson6203 - 01-08-2026, 05:17 PM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (1)

I am using a KC868-A8 board.
I am using it in a setup where a standard wall light switch provides a contact signal to KC868-A8 Input-1, and this triggers Relay 1 to operate.
Sometimes the relay turns off late, or the light does not turn on when I switch the wall switch ON, or it turns on late.
I suspect this might be due to contact bounce (chattering).
Is there any solution for this?
Can this be resolved within the KC868 UI through a firmware update?
Using ESPHome to add an input delay feels burdensome for me.
I am not good at coding.

Controlling it through the UI is more convenient and preferable for me.

  flash Kincony software to KC868-AP
Posted by: guycaluwaerts - 01-06-2026, 08:10 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (18)

I flashed the Kincony software to the KC868-AP board.

Because I'm working with a MIFI 4G router I can only make a connection over WIFI.  Fix connection with ethernet cable is not possible.

I suppose the esp32 on the board has to be in AP-mode to fill in the correct SSID and password or my network. 
How can I put the board in AP mode ?
