Hi everyone! This is my first post here — excited to join the community and learn from all of you. Looking forward to sharing ideas and getting your advice.

I would like to set up a system using Home Assistant, which will be controlled by voice commands, as well as via a tablet mounted on the wall and a smartphone app.

I found your device KinCony F32 ESP32-S3 16A Removable Relay Board released, and here is the question: is this device capable of handling all the listed components?

I am at the stage of cable routing in the house:

1. 3x2.5 cables for power outlets
   
2. 3x1.5 cables for light bulbs
   
3. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for switches/buttons that will control the bulbs
   
4. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for sensors
   
5. Ethernet Cat 6 cables for 6 reolink cameras
   
6. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for sensors/detectors
   
7. LED cables for lighting
   
8. 3x1.5 cable for garden lamps
   
9. 3x2.5 cable for the deep well pump
   
10. Underground cable 11x1 for the irrigation system
   
11. 3x1.5 cable for external blinds
   
12. 3x2.5 cable that in the future may be used for more powerful garden equipment
   
13. 3x2.5 cable for the sliding entrance gate and a separate cable for the garage gate. 

    Additionally, a LAN network and 2 APs will be installed in the house.
   

The devices I want to connect to your system are:

1. Hitachi heat pump model Yutaki S8kW, for water heating and underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor.
   
2. Domekt R450V LA/Z ventilation system (heat recovery).
   
3. 2 separate air conditioning units and an additional air conditioning unit that will support the ventilation system.
   
4. Cameras, NVR Frigate with CORAL AI module.
   
5. 11 external blinds on Yooda motors that can be connected to a micro control panel 1-channel DC 73 and wall remotes DC 315.
   
6. Irrigation system with 10 zones.
   
7. Entrance and garage gates.
   
8. Photovoltaic panels with an energy storage system.
   
9. All lighting points: 
    16 zones in the house, 2 zones will have staircase switches. Additionally, some places will have LED strips installed.
   
10. Sensors:
   

- Presence/motion sensors
   
- Door/window opening sensors (contact sensors)
   
- Vibration sensors
   
- Smoke detectors
   
- Flood sensors
   
- CO detectors
   
- Temperature and humidity sensors
   
- Wind and rain sensors
   

Connection diagram:

Distribution board number 1 will contain only "power outlets," and all 3x2.5 cables are routed here. Initially, I did not consider integrating them with smart/automation solutions, but if this is possible, I will consider it. Additionally, the photovoltaic installation will also be connected here.

Distribution board number 2 will contain everything else listed.

Both distribution boards are located in different rooms. 
How to connect these 2 distribution boards using your solution?

Can you recommend your sensors and everything needed to assemble this system?
All recommendations, enhancements, and any tips are highly welcome.

Beste forum,
ik heb twee Kincony KC 868 A-serie IO-boards, één A4 die werkt met ESP Home en Home Assistant, maar de andere A4 ESP kan niet worden aangesloten. Het verbindingsboard is aangesloten via USB en blijft laden, het board schakelt relais en de zoemer om zonder resultaat. Moet dit board in de flashmodus worden gezet? Zo ja, hoe werkt dat?

I'm away from my project again for a few days, but I managed to quickly connect one cable before I left. I managed to connect one CT sensor and now I see that this channel even shows some Amp consumption on Current_1.  
But same channel Power and Energy = 0 ?
Do I understand correctly that since I don't have L1 and N1 attached, it won't be able to calculate power and energy data?
And If I'm right, then since I have three-phase current (380V), I have to connect each phase separately, i.e. L1, L2 and L3
and in turn, since I have three different phases, it would be most correct to measure the devices that are behind the first phase in the first part and the devices that are behind the second phase in the second part, then the calculation will be most accurate, although at the same time the differences in phase currents are minimal, i.e. 0.0x Volts, it does not make much difference which phase is behind which sector to measure

At what air temperature can the KC868-A8 be used?

“Why is it that every time I shut down Home Assistant and start it again, the A32pro MQTT auto-discovery for Home Assistant doesn’t work until I go to the A32pro’s IP address and reset the MQTT settings?”
Why is it that every time I shut down Home Assistant and start it again, the A32pro MQTT auto-discovery for Home Assistant doesn’t work until I go to the A32pro’s IP address and reset the MQTT settings?

When using HA Auto Discover with KCS 3, should the analog inputs be detected and shown in Home Assistant?  I'm only getting the digital inputs.  Or do I need to use ESP Home?

Hello, I try to login to B16 default web UI (http://192.168.4.1/login.html) and enter admin/admin password.
Receive Password incorrect error.
I don't remember if I changed the password, so I need to reset it do default.
Tried to push DL and Reset buttons for 10+ seconds, the device reboots, but admin/admin is still not correct.
Also tried admin without a password, also tried admin/jingkong - still not getting access.

How can I get the schematic for this board version (A16v3) ? to develop my firmware for it.

Hello,

I received my KC868-A16v3 today that I ordered directly from KinCony.  When I apply 12v using the provided power supply, the red power LED illuminates and the Digital Output light cycle through their lights but nothing is displayed on the screen.  When I connect the included USB cable to my Windows PC it says "USB device not recognized".  I've received the same result from two different windows PC's.  

Do you have any suggestions that may help me? I tried to insert a picture but was unable to.

Thanks,
