Could you build a binary sensor board with screw terminals replaced by female rj45 connectors?

I am very happy about the KC868-AI I bought. It does what it promises. I use it as the central smart home sensor controller for all (dual) light switches at our summer house. Only the physical wiring could be easier for simple binary sensors.

Here's what I built:



Here is what I would want:


This would allow to make a common scenario stupidly simple on the hardware front. Just plug standard cat5e cable between central patch panel and Kincony board, for dual binary sensors per cable. (With some cleverness, even dual 1-wire should be possible using two unused extra strands from the cat5e cable, but I digress...)

And please do keep adding PoE support to your existing boards! That is great functionality, and it would be a great addition to this style of board!

Good day. I ordered a temperature and humidity sensor, I'm trying to connect it, but the sensor doesn't respond. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I connected it via USB, and also via KC868-a16

For everyone, who spend hours to get first flash.

Modern type-c to type-c cables do not work with this board! Cheap or expensive - mine do not work at all. 

I cut some cheap type c cable and measure connection between data lines and ESP contacts - only one line is connected. Other data line goes to unsoldered pin in type c socket! But in old big USB - both lines going to ESP32. 

The only option that works for me - type C / type A cable with type A / type C adapter. 

Hope this save time for somebody.

KinCony T64M tiny ESP32 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. Support 64 channel MOSFET output, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 3 channel free GPIOs. T64M have RS485 port. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / Micro Python / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. T64M use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support KinCony cloud service (official shop customer free 2 years), remote monitor and control device by webpage in anywhere. KCS v3 support KinCony board integrate to Loxone Miniserver. Support Apple HomeKit for Siri.
