USB serial not working

Posted by: mikesloper - 06-04-2025, 09:35 PM - Forum: KC868-A6v3 - Replies (6)

I just received the A6v3 board but it won't connect to my computer properly. I have to reconnected the cable about 30-40 times before I get a working serial connection. I have tried 5 different usbc and usba cables and it makes no difference. I also tried it on 2 computers using all available usb ports. I have also tried reinstalling all USB drivers.

I have never had a problem with any ESP32 board including A6v1, A4 or any esp32 dev module including the espressif esp32-s3 devkit module.

What am I doing wrong or is this board faulty?

Board was purchased from Kincony controller store on aliexpress.

How to send temperature sensor data via custom protocol

Posted by: sebfromgermany - 06-04-2025, 06:08 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hello.
I am trying to send the current temperature of a sensor to an external server. In order to do that, I set up a custom HTTP POST protocol with an URL to a PHP webpage which processes the received data.
Unfortunately I am lacking of information of how to send values via HTTP POST. There is a good documententation about how to request data from the board, but I was not able to find information about sending data from the board to an external URL.
It would be great if you could help me.
Kind regards,
Seb

Temperature is not send to Loxone

Posted by: kotrmelec - 06-03-2025, 10:39 AM - Forum: T16M - Replies (3)

Hello, over the weekend, I got the T16M module up and running, and I was able to establish communication with my second-generation Loxone miniserver without any problems. Using UDP, I am able to read the on/off states of the DO, etc.
The only thing that isn't working, and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, is reading the temperature status. I have a standard DS18B20 1-wire temperature sensor connected to the T16M board, I set the sensor in the board configuration and I can see the temperature(channel 1). Everything works without any problems. However, after setting the virtual input in Loxone, nothing happens. I monitored the UDP monitor in Loxone and no UDP command carrying temperature information reaches Loxone. Only commands for reading/controlling DI and DO. Is this a firmware error? Or does something else need to be set/enabled in the configuration for the temperature to be sent to Loxone?

Just to note, I am using the latest version of KCS3 firmware available right now.

Thank you in advance for your help.

KC868-AG and RF projector screen

Posted by: seatrope - 06-01-2025, 10:31 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hi Kincony!

I have been very pleased with the KC868-AG in Home Assistant so far. It's very strong and reliable for IR signals especially when I know the protocol like RC5, or NEC.

I have been struggling to get it working with my projector screen. The projector screen has RF, IR and 12V trigger, I would like to avoid having to wire the 12V trigger. We have generally used the RF 433Mhz as this is very reliable from the handheld controller, but I have tried multiple times to capture the RF signal using either RAW or Pronto format in esphome, and it never works when I send it.

By chance, can you figure out what the native protocol format is from these photos of the remote circuit board?
The manual is here, and you can tell the model also: https://brochures.onlinebiz.com.au/broch...manual.pdf

I have attached some pictures of the remotes, the control box and the circuit boards for both RF and IR remotes.

I am hoping to get it working with RF 433Mhz with the KC868-AG. Any tips?

Thank you!
