hello, as a newbie i recently bought a  kc868-a16 module and i programmed some automation with it,
but now i don't have access to the ifttt module it comes with a login promt but i 'am already logged in.
all other modules are accessible but not the ifttt one.

nothing changed with cables and /or passwords what is wrong with it ?

Hi
I have KC868-H8B v2.2
I tried to set up my Poole and Deck for the summer again but I can’t connect with the app(Kbox). I checked and see that the board is connected to the Wi-Fi. 
I have set the IP address that is shown on the router and the port is 5555. But it does not react to the app. 
How can I get this board working again?

Hello everyone,
I’m using a Kincony M30 to monitor individual group energy consumption, but I’ve noticed that the kWh readings are reported in 1 kWh increments. 
Is there a way to configure the M30 (or its firmware) so that it reports energy in 0.01 kWh steps instead of whole kWh? 

Any guidance or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am developing a 256 Channel Pulse counter (Even if I need only 20 channels) for the A16 board.
The power consumption should be minimized for the device.

For pulse counting, the device must be able to read I/O ports using I2C.

Currently, this is not possible in an ULP program, because it requires one of the following port combinations for  I2C (See also: esp32-ulp-i2c):

IIC_SDA(SDA) -> GPIO13 (or GPIO11)
IIC_SDL(SCL) -> GPIO02 (or GPIO4)

The board has the following combination:

IIC_SDA -> GPIO04
IIC_SDL -> GPIO05

None of the connections are possible with the current version of the A16 board.

Additionally, it would be great to be able to switch of all peripheral functionality in an (ulp-) program.
Currently, it's not possible to disable e.g. ethernet and USB...
The pulse counter needs ethernet only every 15 minutes for a few milliseconds (MQTT).
I2C is needed only every 20ms.
Configuration will happen via web server. It will happen only after restart or after pressing a button.

Are there other boards which have similar functionality, but are usable for ulp i2c?

Thank you

If one integrates KC868-A4 to HA with ESPhome, how is the SIM module integrated to send and receive messages. I need direction how to use this module with the SIM Module.

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

Hello, can you provide me with a wiring diagram for a relay on an output of the KC868-A16V3 board?
Thank you.

   
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.

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

hi. I have just buy a16v3. I buy without the rf433 transmitter and receiver. Can I use this pins for other purpose? I want to connect to sim 800l or similar board that can send/receive sms.
the free gpio pin on the board next to esp32 chip i cannot use because i cannot use soldering due to health problem. i have to find a friend or pay someone else to help me solder, before i try this i want to ask if other free pin that do no need to solder i can use for this purpose.
thank you for your time.
