Hello everyone!
I wanted to share my ESPHome configuration for interfacing with a solar charge controller (Epever LS1024B) using RS485.
This setup allows to read the PV voltage from the controller's register.
Below is the working configuration that I used, which may help others facing similar challenges.
Dear friend, can you please make a video on how to set up and connect a thermostat and heated floor on the A24 board, perhaps you have already done something similar before, I think many will be interested in how to do this, thank you
KinCony TS (Tiny Sensor) made by SHT30 temperature and humidity sensor inside.
product size: 20mm*18mm
power supply: DC 9-36V
temperature: -40℃-- +125℃
humidity: 0--100% RH
temperature accuracy: 0.1℃
humidity accuracy: 0.1% RH
communication: RS485
RS485 baud rate: 9600/14400/19200/38400/56000/57600/115200 bps
RS485 address: 1--255 editable
LED D3: power LED
LED D4: running LED (blink with running)
Jumper: RS485 Terminating resistor jumper (make sure last RS485 slave device enable it)
You can read temperature and humidity by PC software via RS485 USB adapter.
you can set KinCony TS by different address and Baud.
I've just discovered, through trial and error, that at least MQTT servers don't need to be specified by IP address but can also be specified by DNS name. So in the Protocol -> General page, for the MQTT Broker Address, you can enter mqtt://mosquitto.lan instead of mqtt://192.168.1.200 (or whatever) and it'll work fine. This is quite convenient since you no longer have to hardcode in IP addresses for everything.
I have recently started using the KC868-A16 board and it is an excellent board.
I have loaded it with ESP Home and it is working well.
It is connected to my network via Ethernet for reliability and I also wish to enable Bluetooth on the board so as to use it as a gateway for BLE sensors in ESP Home and Home Assistant.
Do you know is it possible to use Bluetooth and Ethernet in the same ESP Home configuration on the KC868-A16 board?
I know W-Fi and Bluetooth can work at the same time but I want use Ethernet as Wi-Fi coverage is poor at the location.
If I can use Ethernet and Bluetooth would you have an example ESP Home configuration for Bluetooth?
I currently have 2 panels with some 16a Finder (20.21.9.024.4000) 24v dc relays, these relays controls some lights and blinds, the blinds have a sequencing to it (open, pause, close, pause, open) currently they are being toggled by a switch/interruptor.
I've watched some videos from kincony and looks like I could use the kc868-h32bs, I guess my question is if this is the best option, I basically want to make these relays available on alexa, and it feels like I'd connect the existing switches to the inputs from the kc868-h32bs and then the output would go to the finder relay. is there another way of achieving this? My concern is making sure that the board knows when the relay is on/off as it needs to know if the lights are turned on / off to work properly.
the problem though is that connecting the switch to the board directly would leave it without a backup in case the board has any issues, so it wouldnt be possible to control the lights directly in that case, I wanted to have a backup if possible, I'm not sure if theres a way of the board detecting the relay state otherwise
(Im a software engineer, so not too familliar with hardware, any help is appreciated, I wanna make sure I order the right products for the setup)
use it as Wifi AP (Which is easy and I have accomplished) to have access with my phone
read data with the KC868-A8M from a web server from another device via Ethernet (Ethernet is connected to another device which creates the web server)
red data via http get requests
Now the question: Am I able to configure all the get requests in the KCS software and use the answers / data in the IFTTT section? This would make it very easy to program logic to the KC868-A8M.
Or do I need to program my own code in the Arduino IDE to create get requests and react accordingly?
If there is a simple solution, I would be very happy to learn about it, since this will be super helpful in one of my projects.
