  Temp sensor
Posted by: williemcvillage - 05-29-2025, 09:25 PM - Forum: TA - Replies (1)

Hi

Can I use temp sensor DS18B20 or temp/humidity DHT11 with this board?

In case they're not compatible, which ones should work? 

How should be the wiring?

Thanks

  how to use HAv2 RS485 switch adapter work with E16S relay board
Posted by: admin - 05-29-2025, 02:13 AM - Forum: Extender module - No Replies

   
1. download KCS v2 firmware to KC868-E16S board, enable RS485 with "MODBUS-HA" mode.
   
2. use HAv2 PC config tool set the button action.
   
3. connect HAv2 with wall switch panel's K1,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6,KCOM to HAv2 board (use for buttons). D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,DC12V to HAv2 board (use for LED state feedback) 
   
4. when press switch panel button or control by KCS monitor webpage or tuya app, the switch LED state will be updated.
   
   
   

this just demo for 6 relay, if you want many more switch panel control for 16 channel relay. just add switch panel and HAv2 module, parallel connection with RS485 port on KC868-E16S.

  MQTT Digital Ports
Posted by: Psyos - 05-28-2025, 01:49 PM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - Replies (3)

Good afternoom

I am using a KinCony Server16 Raspberry Pi IoT gateway with a Raspberry Pi CM4 EMMC, and I run Home Assistant in a container with Docker. Unfortunately, I was unable to enable I2C as indicated in the documentation, and even USB ports are not accessible in this setup. This containerized Home Assistant is the only alternative I could use.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the digital input ports of the KinCony device for sensors. If yes, how should these digital ports be configured to work properly with MQTT?
If it is not possible to activate sensors via MQTT through the digital input ports, what would be the recommended solution for integrating such sensors into Home Assistant in my setup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Rui

  16B mqtt yaml file config how to
Posted by: itzek - 05-24-2025, 09:17 PM - Forum: B16 - Replies (7)

Hello admin,
 I have the B16 ESP32-S3 controller and I want to connect it to Home Assistant using a regular mqtt configuration (not using MQTT (For Home Assistant)). 
This is what I'm trying, but it's not working:
    - name: " output-1 "
      unique_id: output-1
      state_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state'
      command_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set'
      payload_on:  '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
      payload_off:  '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
      value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
      state_on: 1
      state_off: 0

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

  A32 for blinds - KCS firmware question/issues
Posted by: voyo - 05-24-2025, 01:21 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello!
So I bought A32 device, and I want it to drive my blinds. First I tried with original KCS firmware. While hardware is pretty decent, the firmware unfortunately seems to be half-baked Sad
Questions/issues I have -

1) I couldn't find any option to save/restore configuration from device. If you need to configure all relays on device with so many ports - it extremally inconvenient to re-configure everything you are trying new firmware (or just updating it). Or maybe Im just missing something ?

2) I want to configure slightly more complex behavior for this board - 
I have momentary buttons (up/down), so I wanted to 
a) run motor only when button is pressed
b) with long-click - open/close roller completely
c) with double-click - open/close to 50% 

I tried to use rising/falling edge detection for start/stop motor, - this works, but then I cannot configure any other functions like longclick or doubleclick Sad

4) "Jogging" functionality seems not working in this firmware at all, or I just dont know how to configure it.

5) I was able to find only v2  (KCS_KC868_A32_V2.2.13.zip)  of KCS firmware for this device , maybe there is some update with fixes for my above issues ?
