Hello,

I recently received a kc868-ag unit and have successfully learned an ir key fob and transmitted, (via the KCS device webserver), the learned ir signal to the device being controlled. I would like to use the onboard gpio pins to enable a couple of the esp inputs to work via some dry contacts we have on our solar/inverter to start/stop our small propane generator with the ir signals. How to utilize the onboard free gpio's via the KCS webserver on the device? I don't see the option for Inputs, Outputs in the Index menu. Online, it shows the input and outputs at the webserver index. Perhaps I have to use another means to program the io's? I have installed the pins for the 16 gpio items on the board and would like to take a couple wires out to the inverter generator start contacts.

Thanks in Advance for your thoughts!, Matt

Hi! 
I need 12pcs  0-5V analog inputs for a project and 16 DO. 
ESPHome. Home Assistant. 

As i see thist product is the most suitable from your catalogue. 
But it has 8 0-5V and 8 4-20mA AI-s. 

Is it possible to modify the 4-20mA inputs to 0-5V inputs by changing the resistances there to simmilar values like at the 0-5V inputs? 


Thanks!! 

Daniel

               
Hello,
I received a kc868-ag module the other day and was able to learn an ir remote key fob for our little propane generator and then re-transmit the signal using the transmit function on the ir part of the index menu of the webserver. This worked well. The application I have is to use a couple of gpio inputs from our solar/battery inverter dry contacts in order to start our little remote start generator up (start ir transmitter signal) and shut it down (stop ir signal) for charging. I cannot find Inputs or Outputs anywhere in the webserver index for using the gpio's. Online, it appears that inputs and outputs via gpio can be assigned via ifttt/custom protocols. I have the KC868.ag 2.2.14 bin file loaded on the module now. Is it possible to use the KCS firmware to enable the inputs to work with external, dry contacts with the ag model? I have the regular ag unit and not the pro unit. Thanks in advance!! Matt

Hallo!
I bought a new KC868-A6 (V1.4SP) board.
I will planned work with relays and sensors (temperature and gas concentration). Programming in IDE 2.3.6 (nodeMCU-32S).
Questions.
1. Do I need to update (install firmware)?

2. How can I check the correctness of switching on/off of the relays (6 pcs) and LEDs?

3. Does the KC868-A6 V1.4SP board support UART with a supply voltage of +5 V? The Winsen Electronics ZM106, ZE16B, | MH-Z19B gas sensors that I selected require a supply of +5 V and data exchange only via UART. How can I implement this on the KC868-A6?

4. I2C does not work and cannot be diagnosed. Could this be the problem?

Thanks.

v2.2.14 improvement:
added DO as IFTTT IF conditon

Hello,

I have purchased A16v3 with  KC868-E16v2 and i am trying to get it on for the first time.
I conected the plug but the display on the board is not displaying anything. Where can i find the instructions to flush the new KCS v3 software?
How can i get started using the product?

Thanks,
Erazer

Hi ALL  
My first post.
Want to use KC868-A16 board to do some automation but would like to add Oled on I2C (SSD1306) to show IP adress and some dots representing outputs and inputs
Is there a Source code for KCS v2 firmware so i could add it myself or is it already in? 

Would like to skip rewrite of whole firmware myself 

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a home automation project and just got my hands on the KC868-A4 relay module. First off.., big thanks to KinCony for creating such an affordable and compact board—really impressive stuff !!

I have gone through the official documentation.., but I am still a bit stuck integrating it fully with Home Assistant via MQTT. I have configured my broker and can see some communication.., but the relay toggling seems inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I’m wondering if it’s a timing or topic sap fico training in bangalore formatting issue ??

Can anyone here share their YAML config or best practices for setting up the KC868-A4 with Home Assistant: ?? Also, should I be using Tasmota or stick with the original firmware for more stability: ??

Really appreciate any guidance or even a simple example setup. I am not super advanced but have decent experience with ESP modules and MQTT.

Thanks in advance for any help !!

Mitchel

Hello,
i would like to create a custom case for the KC868-A2 board and i would like to know if kincony can provide the mechanical drawings of the board and STP files
