1. download KCS v2 firmware to KC868-E16S board, enable RS485 with "MODBUS-HA" mode.
   
2. use HAv2 PC config tool set the button action.
   
3. connect HAv2 with wall switch panel's K1,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6,KCOM to HAv2 board (use for buttons). D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,DC12V to HAv2 board (use for LED state feedback) 
   
4. when press switch panel button or control by KCS monitor webpage or tuya app, the switch LED state will be updated.
   
   
   

this just demo for 6 relay, if you want many more switch panel control for 16 channel relay. just add switch panel and HAv2 module, parallel connection with RS485 port on KC868-E16S.

Good afternoom

I am using a KinCony Server16 Raspberry Pi IoT gateway with a Raspberry Pi CM4 EMMC, and I run Home Assistant in a container with Docker. Unfortunately, I was unable to enable I2C as indicated in the documentation, and even USB ports are not accessible in this setup. This containerized Home Assistant is the only alternative I could use.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the digital input ports of the KinCony device for sensors. If yes, how should these digital ports be configured to work properly with MQTT?
If it is not possible to activate sensors via MQTT through the digital input ports, what would be the recommended solution for integrating such sensors into Home Assistant in my setup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Rui

hi. I have just buy a16v3. I buy without the rf433 transmitter and receiver. Can I use this pins for other purpose? I want to connect to sim 800l or similar board that can send/receive sms.
the free gpio pin on the board next to esp32 chip i cannot use because i cannot use soldering due to health problem. i have to find a friend or pay someone else to help me solder, before i try this i want to ask if other free pin that do no need to solder i can use for this purpose.
thank you for your time.

v3.9.4 improvement:
1. fixed bug that Tuya app can't use by 4G SIM7600 module.
2. fixed but Monitor webpage can't show correct tuya connection state when use 4G SIM7600 module.

Hello admin,
 I have the B16 ESP32-S3 controller and I want to connect it to Home Assistant using a regular mqtt configuration (not using MQTT (For Home Assistant)). 
This is what I'm trying, but it's not working:
    - name: " output-1 "
      unique_id: output-1
      state_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state'
      command_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set'
      payload_on:  '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
      payload_off:  '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
      value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
      state_on: 1
      state_off: 0

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

Hello!
So I bought A32 device, and I want it to drive my blinds. First I tried with original KCS firmware. While hardware is pretty decent, the firmware unfortunately seems to be half-baked
Questions/issues I have -

1) I couldn't find any option to save/restore configuration from device. If you need to configure all relays on device with so many ports - it extremally inconvenient to re-configure everything you are trying new firmware (or just updating it). Or maybe Im just missing something ?

2) I want to configure slightly more complex behavior for this board - 
I have momentary buttons (up/down), so I wanted to 
a) run motor only when button is pressed
b) with long-click - open/close roller completely
c) with double-click - open/close to 50% 

I tried to use rising/falling edge detection for start/stop motor, - this works, but then I cannot configure any other functions like longclick or doubleclick

4) "Jogging" functionality seems not working in this firmware at all, or I just dont know how to configure it.

5) I was able to find only v2  (KCS_KC868_A32_V2.2.13.zip)  of KCS firmware for this device , maybe there is some update with fixes for my above issues ?

Hello!
Does anyone have experience with EspEasy (www.letscontrolit.com) firmware running on this device ?
I recently bought A32 with intention to use it for my roller blinds, but I have some issues with KCK firmware (will create separate thread for my questions).
Anyway - I managed to upload espeasy firmware, it runs - but WiFi connection is not working. On serial console it prints:

03.872 : (265688) Info  : WIFI : Arduino wifi status: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED
03.885 : (260688) Info  : Webserver: start
05.229 : (260428) Info  : WD  : Uptime 0  ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 260560 WiFiStatus: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED

I tried few firmware files but with no luck. So question is - is this board require some special setting to enable wifi ? Something like set some gpio or something else ?

Hello,

I see that the number of custom protocols is limited at 64. This is not enough for a board with 128 inputs and 128 outputs.

I need at least 4 protocols per digital input (click, double click, hold ...)

Please advice,
Gabi

Hello again,

I have the KC868-a6-v1.3sp and a pressure sensor (0..150 psi / 0.5..4.5 V). I noticed my values were being capped at about 40 psi / 1.5 V. 
I verified with my fluke loop calibrator, and indeed have a limit at 1.5 V.

The image below shows the raw value being capped at 1.01.
I tried moving the input to the second, but I received the exact same values (capped).

Below code is used for both test with input 36 and 39.

You have any recommendations
