I have flashed the A32 Pro with Kincony firmware and signed in, enabled auto-discovery, but I cannot see the device in Home Assistant. Is there any additional step required to integrate the A32 Pro with Home Assistant?

  Need help choosing modules for 32-channel lighting control with Home Assistant
Posted by: Karlis_LV - 06-30-2025, 12:23 PM - Forum: Getting Started with ESPHome and Home Assistant - Replies (6)

Hello everyone,
I'm new to KinCony and Home Assistant. I would really appreciate your help.
I want to control my house lighting using Home Assistant, and I need to manage 32+ channels. I’m looking for a solution with the best price/performance.
Important:

  • I am not a programmer, so I need a system that works without writing code, just ready firmware like ESPHome or KinCony’s firmware.
  • I really like KinCony devices, but unfortunately I can't find compact and complete information in one place that explains how to set up a simple lighting project using a few modules.
  • I prefer using I/O extenders (relay modules) that come in a solid metal case or at least with mechanical protection, not open PCB boards.
Could you please help me with:
  1. Which modules do I need to build a 32+ channel Home Assistant lighting control system?
  2. Is there a video or full guide that shows everything: connection, flashing (if needed), and control via Home Assistant?
  3. Can this setup work without programming knowledge?
  4. What is the best I/O expander module with relays that includes a metal or protected enclosure?
  5. Can the system run only on Server16 with CM4 + some simple extender relay board?
I want to build a clean and reliable lighting automation system with good enclosure protection and Home Assistant support.
Thank you very much for your help!

  RF 433MHz Transmitter/Receiver range
Posted by: makaveledj - 06-30-2025, 09:13 AM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (3)

Hello I have KC868 A16v3 board together with the RF 433MHz Receiver/Transmitter which comes in the pack. 

I have very short range about 6m straight line with no obstacles. Is it the Transmitter/Receiver that limits the range? 
How can I improve it to have better range? 
Should I buy transmitter/receiver with antenna, and if so, could you recommend me which model is compatible with the board?

Thank you Smile
