Photo Kilcony RS-485 SHT30 Sensor - Setting MODBUS Address
Posted by: egionet - 04-08-2025, 11:18 PM - Forum: Customer project example - Replies (2)

Hello,

I tried changing the MODBUS address from MODBUS ID 1 to 15 on the RS-485 SHT30 temperature and relative humidity module through a function 6 write, disconnected the connector for 5 to 10 seconds, reconnected the connector, and polled the sensor over MODBUS. However, the device only responds to MODBUS ID 1, but I can see the updated MODBUS address in register 0x0a as 0x0F.
   
Is there another setting that has to be configured?

  Issues with STA mode
Posted by: DavidSzilasi - 04-07-2025, 07:53 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (2)

Hello!

I recently purchased a KC868-a16 and Im in the process of exploring the KCS server. Yesterday I successfully downloaded the firmware onto the board and was able to scan the ethernet network of the board. I used the eth IP to sign into the website but when I switch the networks setting from AP to STA, there was no STA Wifi IP address after refresh. Can you please advise me on what I may be doing wrong.

Thank you!

  adding KC868-HA RS485 zo HA or ESPHome
Posted by: saymyname - 04-07-2025, 07:06 PM - Forum: KC868-HA /HA v2 - Replies (15)

Hi,

i have succefully integrate board A16V3 via MQTT auto discovery to Homeassistant. But i didnt found how can i add now KC868-HAv2. If i create new device in ESPHome and copy data from github:
https://github.com/hzkincony/esphome-kc868-ha

I cant install it, ESP gives me error:


Failed config
'esphome' section missing from configuration. Please make sure your configuration has an 'esphome:' line in it.

Do i also need to add main board A16V3 to ESP home and just add those lines to config file of A16V3, or can KC868-HAv2 be add as standalone?

  M30 CT ratio
Posted by: Linus68 - 04-07-2025, 02:29 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (5)

Hi

I need to use other CT with different CT ratio.
In ESPHome I can Change IT.
But need IT in the Webpage (stand alone use).
IS IT planed to integrate IT in the UI?
Or IS the source Code available?

  MB Specs - 8A per channel? variable voltage per channel?
Posted by: gregoryx - 04-07-2025, 05:24 AM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (8)

Looking to use an MB board (KinCony ESP32 Battery Monitor) to monitor DC circuit power. 

I can't tell from the specification if it's 8A per channel or 8A for all 16 channels?

And it's unclear if it can be different voltage on every channel? Can I have 12VDC on one channel and 24VDC on another channel and have correct measurements on both? 

thank you.

  Low output voltage
Posted by: Knightrider - 04-05-2025, 01:00 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (6)

I am trying to use one of the outputs to drive a 12v siren directly.  I have a 12v power supply, with 12v passing from the input to the 12v terminal on the output block.  If I connect my siren to the 12v and output terminal on the block, it doesn't sound properly, and if I measure the voltage across them with a multimeter I am only seeing ~10.5v.
Is this a limitation of the board, or have I wired something wrong?

  KC868-D16 firmware update
Posted by: Gazoved - 04-03-2025, 05:48 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Good day!
Dear hardware developers ( admin ), do you have any plans to update firmware for KC868-D16 controllers?
The current firmware is D16_V1.08?

  [arduino code examples for TA]-08 how to communication with Tuya WiFi module
Posted by: admin - 04-03-2025, 06:55 AM - Forum: TA - No Replies

Code:
/*
* Made by KinCony IoT: https://www.kincony.com
*
* This Arduino program implements communication between ESP32 and the Tuya module
* via UART (serial communication). It listens for specific packets from the Tuya module
* and responds according to the predefined commands.
*
* Functionality:
* 1. When the ESP32 receives a heartbeat packet (55 AA 00 00 00 00 FF),
*    it sends a heartbeat response (55 AA 03 00 00 01 00 03).
* 2. When the ESP32 receives a product information request (55 AA 00 01 00 00 00),
*    it sends a product information response (55 AA 03 01 ...).
* 3. When the ESP32 receives a work mode request (55 AA 00 02 00 00 01),
*    it sends a work mode response (55 AA 03 02 00 03 10 1C 14 47).
* 4. When the ESP32 receives a network status request (55 AA 00 03 00 01 00 03),
*    it sends a network status response (55 AA 03 03 00 00 05).
* 5. Subsequent heartbeat packets (55 AA 00 00 00 00 FF) are responded to with
*    (55 AA 03 00 00 01 01 04).
