I am trying to integrate the KC868 server 16 to add I2C hardware devices. I have done step 2
2. enable i2c for home assistant.
Add files to enable I2C
In the root of the hassos-boot partition, add a new folder called CONFIG.
In the CONFIG folder, add another new folder called modules.
Inside the modules folder add a text file called rpi-i2c.conf with the following content:
i2c-dev
In the root of the hassos-boot partition, edit the file called config.txt add two lines to it:
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on

but i2c devices are not showing. See attached screenshot

Hello everyone,
I am using board A16v3 with KCS v3.9.4 firmware.

I am trying to connect it with Home Assistant through ''MQTT (For Home Assistant)'' with auto discovery option set to ON, but unfortunately it cant connect to HA. I have watched kincony youtube videos and I am doing exactly the same, but with no success.

I have tried to connect with just the MQTT option and it connects just fine, but I would like to use the  ''MQTT (For Home Assistant)'' with auto discovery option. Have you came across such problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

Dear Kincony

I use KC868-A8 with KCS v2.2.13[img]/local/images/tank0.png[/img]

MQTT is connected correctly

Hello,

I recently received a kc868-ag unit and have successfully learned an ir key fob and transmitted, (via the KCS device webserver), the learned ir signal to the device being controlled. I would like to use the onboard gpio pins to enable a couple of the esp inputs to work via some dry contacts we have on our solar/inverter to start/stop our small propane generator with the ir signals. How to utilize the onboard free gpio's via the KCS webserver on the device? I don't see the option for Inputs, Outputs in the Index menu. Online, it shows the input and outputs at the webserver index. Perhaps I have to use another means to program the io's? I have installed the pins for the 16 gpio items on the board and would like to take a couple wires out to the inverter generator start contacts.

Thanks in Advance for your thoughts!, Matt

Hi! 
I need 12pcs  0-5V analog inputs for a project and 16 DO. 
ESPHome. Home Assistant. 

As i see thist product is the most suitable from your catalogue. 
But it has 8 0-5V and 8 4-20mA AI-s. 

Is it possible to modify the 4-20mA inputs to 0-5V inputs by changing the resistances there to simmilar values like at the 0-5V inputs? 


Thanks!! 

Daniel

               
Hello,
I received a kc868-ag module the other day and was able to learn an ir remote key fob for our little propane generator and then re-transmit the signal using the transmit function on the ir part of the index menu of the webserver. This worked well. The application I have is to use a couple of gpio inputs from our solar/battery inverter dry contacts in order to start our little remote start generator up (start ir transmitter signal) and shut it down (stop ir signal) for charging. I cannot find Inputs or Outputs anywhere in the webserver index for using the gpio's. Online, it appears that inputs and outputs via gpio can be assigned via ifttt/custom protocols. I have the KC868.ag 2.2.14 bin file loaded on the module now. Is it possible to use the KCS firmware to enable the inputs to work with external, dry contacts with the ag model? I have the regular ag unit and not the pro unit. Thanks in advance!! Matt

Hallo!
I bought a new KC868-A6 (V1.4SP) board.
I will planned work with relays and sensors (temperature and gas concentration). Programming in IDE 2.3.6 (nodeMCU-32S).
Questions.
1. Do I need to update (install firmware)?

2. How can I check the correctness of switching on/off of the relays (6 pcs) and LEDs?

3. Does the KC868-A6 V1.4SP board support UART with a supply voltage of +5 V? The Winsen Electronics ZM106, ZE16B, | MH-Z19B gas sensors that I selected require a supply of +5 V and data exchange only via UART. How can I implement this on the KC868-A6?

4. I2C does not work and cannot be diagnosed. Could this be the problem?

Thanks.

v2.2.14 improvement:
added DO as IFTTT IF conditon
