  IIC header
Posted by: CCampbell - 08-23-2025, 04:01 PM - Forum: KC868-A16S - Replies (3)

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.

  HTTP GET api control
Posted by: jc10000rpm - 08-21-2025, 06:17 AM - Forum: B16M - Replies (4)

after i turn on a output, then turn it back off, it wont turn on again, unless i wait for several minutes.

here is the commands i use:

ipaddress/ctrl.cgi?secret=mysecret&cmd=set_output&id=1&value=1
ipaddress/ctrl.cgi?secret=mysecret&cmd=set_output&id=1&value=0

the browser gives a message saying success, but the output does not come on.

here is example of output (but does not turn on)

{ "id": 1, "value": 1, "status": "success", "code": 0 }

i have program that runs that needs to be able to execute these commands very often and close together

  KC868-A16S Arduino Issue
Posted by: zross02 - 08-20-2025, 08:27 PM - Forum: KC868-A16S - Replies (4)

I have purchased a KC868-A16S unit and am having difficulties getting it to work with Arduino codes. I downloaded the firmware to the device and was able to control it via the Wi-Fi connection, but no Arduino code will work with Relay Control. I tried the example codes that were provided in the Arduino library: they all seem to upload but none seem to actually work on the board. I even checked via RealTerm to see if the code was taking, but it said that the Arduino example code failed. Let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this, thank you.

  KC868-AP — Power injection, multi-PSU, and amplifier support
Posted by: stansvec - 08-20-2025, 08:03 AM - Forum: KC868-AP / ADR - Replies (2)

Hello,
Could you please confirm these points for KC868-AP (PWM dimmer for LED strips):

  1. Power injection: Is it supported to inject extra DC power along the LED strip? Any rules or limits?
  2. Multiple PSUs: Is it allowed to use more than one DC power supply for different channels/zones? If yes, how should they be connected? If no, must we use only one PSU?
  3. Amplifier / power repeater: Can the KC868-AP PWM outputs drive an external analog LED amplifier (RGB/RGBW) so the strip is powered by a local PSU? Any specs/models to follow?

Thank you.

  More PoE boards?
Posted by: lulu01 - 08-19-2025, 10:09 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (1)

Hello,

is there any chance that you add PoE to more boards in the future, for instance the F24?

Thanks

  TA needs fallback cellular for monitoring service
Posted by: 5310h - 08-19-2025, 12:33 AM - Forum: TA - Replies (8)

Hi
In order to make the TA a complete security alarm system, it needs a method to communicate to a monitoring service when the Wifi / Internet is down.  Since Kincony already has the SIM7600e board that is used on other products, I would like to see it added to the TA ASAP.  Without it, the TA is just like all the other DIY products.  Really, it's the missing piece.

  F24 and KC868-AP dimmer sharing same wall switch panel
Posted by: stansvec - 08-18-2025, 07:13 AM - Forum: F24 - Replies (1)

Hello,

Can I use one multi-gang Kincony momentary wall switch with different devices, one device per gang? I want a 2-gangs switch:

 - Gang 1 to an F24 (to control a light bulb by software)
 - Gang 2 to a KC868-AP (ESP32) dimmer (to control an LED strip).

Is this wiring possible?

Many thanks

  how to use F16 tuya app with analog sensor
Posted by: admin - 08-16-2025, 09:55 AM - Forum: F16 - No Replies

1. download new firmware for F16:

.zip   KCS_F16_V3.11.6_beta_20250816-173359.zip (Size: 1.05 MB / Downloads: 612)

2. set ADC for Custom value1, Custom value2 and Threshold.
for example:
you are using DC 0-5v analog signal sensor. you can set as this photo.
   

3. enter "Protocol" -- "Tuya" webpage, select the product id = 2v6wdnkvsp5xhx9c
   

two different PID use different tuya UI interface for F16 Controller.
