  How to use channel 5,6,7,8
Posted by: tenabiker - 04-23-2025, 01:00 PM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (5)

If only 4 channel can be used by ESP Home, is there any way to use channel 5,6,7,8 of AG8 module ?

  KC868 server firmware
Posted by: sns5400 - 04-21-2025, 01:03 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (3)

Hello, i like to renew my kc868 server firmware via the serial port.
I try first the method via 10.10.100.254 but the uploading give no result for refactoring my kincony server.
So i go to try the serial methode via cable.
I am wondering if it is ok to use a cable usb-to rs232 with only GND, TX, RX or do i need also other signals like DTR and ....
Please let me now, can you send me the tool to upload the firmware to the server bord via rs232.

Thank you in advance
P. Schippers

  More inputs please
Posted by: kbo - 04-20-2025, 11:56 AM - Forum: TA - Replies (7)

Hi,

I need more inputs for my alarm central. 32 inputs should be enough.
Is there a larger (more inputs) version  planned ?

Greetings,

  b16m programing blinds
Posted by: Mkuzman - 04-20-2025, 07:41 AM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - Replies (16)

I need help
How di I program the controller to control the blind motor?
For example
If I press the up button once, the motor rotates to the end switsh, i.e. for a certaim mumber of secends, if I hold the same switch, the motor rotates "up" for as long as I hold  it, when I release it the motor stops.
The same procedure for lowering.
but if the button for lowering the blinds is pressed, then all the signals from digital input 1 stop
button for rising  is digital input 1, button for lowering is digital input 2
