  cannot see KC868-A6 in router client list after setting STA mode
Posted by: Armsp0 - 07-24-2026, 08:00 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (7)

I have successfully flashed KCS_KC868_A6_V2.1.9.bin to my KC868-A6-V1.3 board and can access the web server in STA mode. Login is OK.


In the Network tab I set STA mode and enter 2.4Ghz wifi SSID and password (details checked correct). after reboot I do not see the KC868 has joined my WiFi network.

I have attached the serial logger output of boot process for review. Is this the correct bin for my board?

  how to install home assistant for Pi5M32 beginner guide
Posted by: admin - 07-24-2026, 07:56 AM - Forum: Pi5M32 - No Replies

1. make home assistant OS SD card or SSD disk for KinCony Pi5M32.

download  https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

2. enable i2c for home assistant.

Add files to enable I2C

In the root of the hassos-boot partition, add a new folder called CONFIG.
In the CONFIG folder, add another new folder called modules.
Inside the modules folder add a text file called rpi-i2c.conf with the following content:
i2c-dev

In the root of the hassos-boot partition, edit the file called config.txt at last add two lines to it:
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=i2c1-pi5,pins_2_3

Note: if you using Windows OS computer, you can use "DiskGenius.exe" free software to modify the files. Because Linux format file not visable on windows OS. 

3. install HACS addon

https://hacs.xyz/docs/use/download/downl...supervised

4. MCP23017 implementation for Home Assistant (HA)

https://github.com/jpcornil-git/HA-mcp23017

5. KinCony SSD1306 I2C Display implementation for Home Assistant

https://github.com/hzkincony/hass-ssd1306

6. KinCony ADS1115 ADC Sensor  implementation for Home Assistant

https://github.com/hzkincony/hass-ads1115

7. config yaml for MCP23017, ADS1115

install "file edit" add-on for HA , then config configuration.yaml

  KC868-A6 Lora
Posted by: Armsp0 - 07-23-2026, 07:46 AM - Forum: KC868-A6 - Replies (3)

I have a KC868-6 V1.3 board. I live in New Zealand where AS923 requires 915Mhz frequency. Can the SX1262 board be used in place of the SX1278 module? Pinouts may be different firmware might need modification?
