KinCony B8 ESP32 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. Support 8 channel relay output, 7 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 4 channel ADS1115 16bit analog input ports. One SD card using SPI bus. B8 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and Tuya connection state. B8 have I2C bus extender and RS485 port. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / 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. B8 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.

I had a problem installing the YAML file for Kincony AS, as the line rmt_channel: 0 in the YAML file flagged red; every effort to identify it failed. I then removed rmt_channel: 0 and was to install it in ESPHome.  The device was discovered and I followed the instruction to complete the configuration. The device doesn't turn to listening after I say 'hey jarvis'. It remains idle. What could caused this? See attachedpicture

in photo, we have connected DS18B20 temperature sensor by free GPIO15.
   
temperature value also showed on OLED display.
   
config by KCS sensor webpage. make sure enabled "pull up" option.
   
temperature data showed on monitor webpage.

Hi,
I see on the specs section of the page it lists the CT's needed as

Quote:2000:1 CT clamp “voltage” sensor

Quote:60A / 0.45V
20A / 0.45V

I cannot see the following input table columns when I connect to my A32 Pro; Bind Output, Function, ON, OFF, Toggle (see attached image of what I see.  No scroll/pan features)

I have A32 Pro Firmware 3.11.3
I installed as ESP32S3, develop, USB

I have reloaded the firmware twice and tried on different computers without success

Please help

Hi
With esphome 2026.01 the configuration of
ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk_mode: GPIO17_OUT
  phy_addr: 0
have to be changed to the new Version.
 
ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk:
    pin: GPIO17
    mode: CLK_EXT_IN or CLK_OUT
  phy_addr: 0
 
All Posts or Documentation i am able to find (e.g. https://www.kincony.com/kc868-a16-ethern...igure.html) shows deprecated Version of configuration of ethernet.
Can you help me please with the mode (CLK_EXT_IN or CLK_OUT) setting for the KC868-A16?
Thanks a lot
Best Regards from Austria
Peter

Hello. I've updated the KC868-A16 to firmware v2.2.14 and can't configure the input/output port binding. I don't see such an option on the website. Does this version not have this option? How do I configure Home Assistant to work with the KC868-A16 with the "KCS" firmware?

I don't have these settings:

Hi, I would like to integrate a few Bosch BME688 environmental sensors and connect IIC.  Which header is the bus on?  I read that there are only two channels available, so I have a TCA9548A IIC 8-channel expansion board.

i don't get anything on the router, i tried arp -a, no new ip address.
- i tried 2 different routers
- tried replacing the ethernet cable
- tried replacing the power supply
- tried connecting with usb - no new COM port in device manager (tried another USB cable and port)
- NO wifi AP checked on pc and phone
the red power led is ON, the orange ethernet led is ON, the green led is flashing.
board: REV 1.6
is the board damaged?
