N60 ESP Home Dallas sensor - tapsakoo - 11-21-2025
Hello All,
I have a n60 which I´m ore than happy as metering devise, but I´d like to add a Dallas sensor to it.
With Kinconys own programm it´s easy, but I´m using ESP Home and I just can´t figure out the right way to write it to YAML.
Could someone help me out?
DS18B2
RE: N60 ESP Home Dallas sensor - admin - 11-22-2025
you can add the DS18B20 sensor yaml code to our N60 yaml file.
how to add DS18B20, see here : https://esphome.io/components/sensor/dallas_temp/
just need define 1-wire bus firstly.

Thanks for a quick answer! However, I already have about 30 Dallas sensors in my house and few of them connected to other Kincony devices also.
So I know how it should be done in generally.
For example in KC868-A8M I have the following code which works fine.
one_wire:
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIO14
sensor:
- platform: dallas_temp
address: 0x813c01e07654d228 #replace with your sensor's ID
name: "Alaporras keskus lämpötila"
But wit N60 there´s a lot of more stuff:
esphome:

friendly_name: SPK Mittaukset

...and so on...
I´ve tried several ways for a few evenings but I just can´t figure out in which place I should put that sensor setup. Where ever I put it, I get an error.
Could you please point out the right spot for me?
RE: N60 ESP Home Dallas sensor - admin - 11-22-2025
free GPIO (without pull up resistance):
GPIO15
GPIO16
these two free gpios can use for DS18B20 for N60

I´ve used pin 15 with no luck. The actual question was, in what spot in the code I should put the sensor setup?
I just tried again like this (part of the code):
font:
- file: "gfonts://Roboto"
id: roboto
size: 15
i2c:
sda: 18
scl: 17
display:

address: 0x3C
lambda: |-
it.printf(0, 15, id(roboto), "IP: %s", id(eth_ip).state.c_str());
modbus:
modbus_controller:
- address: 1
update_interval: 5s
one_wire:
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIO15
sensor:
- platform: dallas_temp
name: spk_lampotila
update_interval: 10s
- platform: modbus_controller
address: 100
register_type: holding
name: bl0910_1_current_1
id: n60_1_current_1
unit_of_measurement: A
device_class: current
accuracy_decimals: 3
value_type: U_DWORD_R
filters:
- multiply: 0.001
And I get an error:
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs/spk-mittaukset/firmware.elf] Error 1
========================= [FAILED] Took 46.92 seconds =========================
What could cause this and again, where in what palce in the code should I put that sensor in?
RE: N60 ESP Home Dallas sensor - admin - 11-23-2025
make sure GPIO15 and GPIO16 enable pull up resistance mode.
another way, you can test with KCS v3 firmware, enable DS18B20 will be very easy.

Although I´d prefer ESP Home I ended up to KCS firmware, which seems to work fine.
Only real problem is your ESP32 download tool. With several tries it just didn´t work...
But with ESP home WEB it got set up with no issues at all.
So now I get the info which i wanted, but it needed a lot to tweak in my settings.
RE: N60 ESP Home Dallas sensor - admin - 11-25-2025
if can't download firmware by usb-c cable. try :
1. power off N60
2. hold on DW (download) button, don't move your finger.
3. power on of N60
4. release your finger.
5. Then N60 enter bootloader mode. download firmware again.
