RE: Initial configuration for A16v3 - Erazer - 06-26-2025
ok. already followed that one. I was really helpfull. But it does not specify that the regular switches need to be configured by IFTTT in order to work.
Thanks alot again for your help. Really appreciate it!
RE: Initial configuration for A16v3 - admin - 06-27-2025
for regular switches, just for example:
IF DI1=ON THEN TOGGLE DO1
IF DI1=OFF THEN TOGGLE DO1

I just recieved A16v3 powered it up, connected usb-c cable and it is not found by any cable that i have. I tested with another esp32s3 device and same cable detects it. I am using mac, so there is no way for me to upload differrent software. how i can start using this board?

if you are using MAC OS, you can use python to download firmware. or use by esphome.

Hello! I am looking to aquire around 25 wall switches that also have a led to be able to find the button during night. I noticed on kinkony website 2 tipes of momentary switches (the one with physical button and the one with touch pannel).
Can you please confirm that those switches are fully compatible withe digital inputs of a16v3?
Also can you please let me know what other switch can I use besides the ones from kinkony?
RE: Initial configuration for A16v3 - admin - 08-12-2025
solution-A:
1. use by this switch panel: https://www.kincony.com/metal-frame-momentary-wall-switch-panel.html
2. add logical convert module: https://www.kincony.com/logic-level-converter.html
solution-B:
1. use by this switch panel: https://www.kincony.com/metal-frame-momentary-wall-switch-panel.html
2. RS485 io module: https://www.kincony.com/rs485-io-module.html

Thank you for your reply!
Is solution A also compatible with touch wall switches from kinkony?
For touch wall switches the logical convert module is mandatory for status sync?
RE: Initial configuration for A16v3 - admin - 08-12-2025
need logical convert module to invert the level for switch panel's LED. Because switch panel's LED=0v, LED will ON. But A16v3 output 12V when turn ON output.
