hello

can you send me step by step, how to setup tuya adaptor V2 and KC868 h32bs.

Thank you

Hi!

I would like connect to the KC868-A6-V1.4SP an optocoupler - similar to https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005008446930626.html . My goal is to detect and react for switching 230V power in monitored circuit.

I flashed the KC868-A6 board with ESPHome - for now with default configuration.

Can someone help me understand
- from which pin should I take a power source for low voltage optocoupler side 
- where to connect its output to the KC868-A6 board
- what I have to add to the ESPHome configuraiton?

Thank you in advance.

board KC868-a16 V1.7
software Kincony V2.2.18

I have connected the board with home assitant using mqtt broker.
Now I can see all 16 inputs and  16 outputs.

When I want to create an automation or a scene, I cannot select an input ( indicated as' bineray sensor' in homeassistant. How can I select this binary sensor to trigger an automation ?

Second question. In the Kincony software I can select for an input 'single click, double click, hold on, .... etc'. Can this information also send to homeassistant ? Now I only see for these inputs only ON or OFF

Hi,

Somehow the Energy entry does not work.
There is current, voltage, power, frequency and also energy sum, but no energy per device.
I'm using these  CT clamps https://shop.kincony.com/products/25a-cu...s=e&_v=1.0

Why is there no Energy displayed per device? Can you help me?





There are some errors in the yaml file here https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8647
There were strange characters or weird spaces in the file, did need to correct that otherwise ESPHome didn't wanted to apply it.
Also indentation of some of the filters was of (not a problem for ESPHome).

Hi all,
I’m commissioning a KinCony KC868-Server and running the onboard ESP32 (WROOM-32UE) with ESPHome.
USB flashing works fine via CH340, but I’m having trouble bringing up the ESP32 Ethernet.
I’m confident this is ESP32 native Ethernet (RMII), not W5500 SPI. The board clearly has a PHY + magnetics for the ESP32 Ethernet port (separate from the CM4 Ethernet).
Key observations:

• ESPHome compile output shows:
  
  
  Code:

  esp_eth_phy_jl1101.c.o
  so it appears the PHY is JL1101
  
• Runtime log shows EMAC reset timeout when Ethernet is initialised
  
• Ethernet never links, no DHCP lease
  

1. Can anyone confirm which Ethernet PHY the KC868-Server ESP32 actually uses?
   
   • Is it JL1101 (as ESPHome compile suggests)?
     
2. If so, could someone share a known-working ESPHome Ethernet YAML for this board?
   
3. Are the RMII pins / PHY address / power pin documented anywhere for the ESP32 side?
   

Hello!

I'm building a new apartment and need some help picking up a product from Kincony's lineup:

There are too many similar boards, with subtle differences, so it's a little confusing which to select.
Here's what I'm planning for:

- Automated lights everywhere. I think I can consider 3 light circuits in each room
- IR integration for HVAC split systems (heat pumps)
- Automated curtains (roll-on or some railing system)
- Power measurement over each power phase (no need for individual circuit measurement)
- RF 433 MHz support for future use

About the space itself:
It's a 190 sqm high-rise apartment, with 4 bedrooms (suite) + large living room (with balcony), kitchen, and mudroom
Also:

- I live in Brazil, and power here is usually a 3-phase 220v system.
- Lighting nowadays is LED-based, but all bulbs and fixtures are always AC 220V. I've never shopped for DC lighting (12 or 24V).
- Power outlets are rated for 10A @ 220V. High-power outlets (mud room, kitchen appliances) are 20A @ 220V

Other things I'd like:
- I want to use regular dry-contact wall switches: Specialty or wireless switches are a big no for me.
- I would like to use CAT5 UTP cabling for switches, if possible.
- I would like to use POE for powering as many devices as possible
- I have no interest in TUYA, and I'll use a Home Assistant setup, so the board needs to support ESP Home

Please help, I don't know what  boards to choose.

Hi,
After receiving the KC868-A128, I flashed it with KC868-A128-HA-input-toggle-output.yaml and everything was working. I powered it off and put it aside because I didn’t have time to install it at the target location.
Today I wanted to continue, but only the red LED next to the power supply is on. The LEDs at the Ethernet connector are not flash, and there are no lights on the switch either. I connected a USB cable, but no serial port is detected on either Windows or macOS. What should I do?

regards,
Toper

When flashing with ESPHome, I get the following warnings

Hi,

Are there any example yaml files for coding LoRa and the RS-485 connection for Home Assistant esphome?

Hi,
I'm about to buy my first KC868 module but I have some very basic questions. 

I had a tuya wifi relay board before and that created 13 switches which saturated my wifi network. If I flash esphome on this kc868 board will it create 16 switches on the network or just one device?

I need to have toggle switches able to control the relays and at the same time I want to be able control the switches from homeassistant. So if the toggle switch is on I still want to be able to turn the relay off. 
This means if the toggle switch is at off state and I turn the relay on remotely then changing the manual switch to on will do nothing because the relay is already on.

Thx!
