  Looking for a 4-8 channel ESP32 Energy monitor
Posted by: Onepointbrewing - 08-08-2025, 06:46 AM - Forum: Development - Replies (1)

Hi I have just bought 3x F16 Smart controllers and want to know if you have something that can do the something to control some heating elements.

I want to monitor the current on 4 elements to see if theyre turned on (I dont need to count the power consumption) just on or off, and then I need to have 4 relay outputs so that I can turn the elements on or off through a 3 phase contactor.

Do you have anything like that (an 8 channel would be good).

I really like the DIN rail design of the F16 so something like that would be great.

  Can no longer change User/PW
Posted by: mookiebud - 08-07-2025, 01:56 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (4)

Board Model: KC868_A16
Software Version : v2.2.14
Build Date: Jun 26 2025 07:36:40


Web interface on Ethernet ....

Originally I was able to change the user name and password. However, at some reasonably early setting changes, the KC868 stop responding over Ethernet. I noted the port actiivity seemed to be intermittent. In other words, the activity lights would flash for perhaps a second and then turn off. The board seemed to be in continuous reset? 

Anyhow, I decided to re-flash the FW (with the same version above). That appeared to be successful and permitted me to login with the default UN/PW (admin/admin). 

However, the minute I went to change the 'System', I immediately was presented with the login screen again. Several repeats later, ie, I login, go to 'System', login, go to 'System' I figured maybe an 'ERASE' cycle with ESP's firmware tool would help .... it didn't. 

Why can't I now change the User Name and Password even though I could on the initial configuration. 

PS: Clicking on the upper right 'Admin' -> 'Change Password' has the same cycle of repeatedly asking for login info. 

TIA.

  KinCony G1 - RS485 with expansion card
Posted by: SixSixOne - 08-06-2025, 11:25 PM - Forum: G1 - Replies (3)

Hello,
I've received a G1 device and my intention is to connect it with an RS485 IO expansion card 16In - 16Out (Maker: Eletechsup // N4D2E16).
The issue is that although I can send commands to the card and enable the Outputs by using custom RS485 protocol and IFTTT command (from the DI of the G1 board), I cannot receive info from N4D2E16 Inputs to the G1 in order to use them in Home Assistant.

How can I see the inputs of the board as well?
Tks

  LAN connection lost sometimes
Posted by: apps4check - 08-06-2025, 08:18 PM - Forum: KC868-A2 - Replies (1)

Hello. Board KC868-A2 (revision 2.4) disconnect from the network every couple of months. It seems that the LAN chip freezes, since the link on the router disappears. I found your video with a presentation of the new version of the board, where you say that in the new revision you changed the chip to W5500 https://youtu.be/oFZbByLGK2M?t=293 and that the old chip is unstable. KC868-A2 is located at a fairly large distance to use wifi. Watchdog, if present, does not work and the board can be disconnected from the network many hours until it is rebooted by power manually. What can be done to prevent the problem?

  Control an RS485 device with KC868_A6 from Home Assistant
Posted by: marc.domotique - 08-06-2025, 12:46 PM - Forum: KC868-A4 - Replies (3)

Hello,
I'm using Home Assistant to control my home.

I bought a KC868_A6 (currenly with Software Version v2.2.14) in order to :

  1. use built-in digital Inputs & outputs
  2. get values from built-in analog inputs
  3. control a  PowerFlex 4M AC drive (send commands / receive status) via RS485 port

I'm using protocol MQTT and for 1 & 2, no problem, all works as expected.
But for the 3, I don't know how to proceed. Does someone have an idea please ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

  Kinony or plc for smarthome ? renovation
Posted by: Verresen - 08-05-2025, 03:48 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm slowly starting to think about making my house smart.

(I still need to renovate and update the electrical system.) 

I'm torn between a PLC system and Kincony. 

I'd like to use Home Assistant. I'd also like to work with sensors. 
For example, I'd like to monitor temperature and humidity and apply functions to it (monitor the temperature and humidity in 10 different rooms).

I'd also like to install and control the heating system on it.

A sensor for the rainwater tank. I'd like to monitor the amount of rain and wind outside. 

I'd like to install sensors on some windows and doors/gates.

And even equip the mailbox with a sensor (for packages or mail). As you can hear, it's already quite extensive. Could you suggest which Kincony components I should use? 

Kind regards,

  need help for choosing kincony products
Posted by: Andrea - 08-04-2025, 03:08 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (4)

Hi,
i'm new.
I need advice on choosing the best electronic board for my needs. My requirement is to control the temperature of 16 or 20 wine tanks. Cooling occurs by opening a 24-volt motorized valve. Temperature control is via a DS1820B or other compatible sensor. Each sensor is connected to its own output relay. I prefer a wired connection, and it would be better to divide the controls across multiple 4 or 8 I/O boards, especially to avoid a total blackout in the event of a board failure. I would also like to interface with Home Assistant or at least monitor temperatures with my phone outside of the Wi-Fi network. Can you help me make the best choice? Thank you very much.
There is a compatible HMI to manage temperatures directly from a control panel and not just from a PC or smartphone

  KC868 0-5 inputs
Posted by: vincent - 08-04-2025, 08:30 AM - Forum: KC868-A6v3 - Replies (7)

I have a Kincony KC868-A6 and I wonder if I could convert the 2 4-20mA inputs to 0-5v DC inputs. 
I went trough the documentation (and diagram) and I can’t figure out how to do this. 
https://www.kincony.com/download/KC868-A6-schematic.pdf

I understand that I need to replace two resistance switch "4-20mA" --> "0-5v" type signal but I can't figure out what to do.
Best regards,
Vincent

Hello,

My KC868-A16 stopped working with ESPHome. There is power, but there is no network connection. I can still flash directly with USB-C port.

Here is the esphome logs:
