KinCony KC868-AGv3 ESP32S3 Smart IR RF Controller released - admin - 06-11-2026 ESP32-S3 Smart IR RF Controller – KinCony KC868-AGv3 KinCony KC868-AGv3 is a smart IR controller designed for smart home automation and IoT projects. It is based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U N16R8 module, with powerful performance and rich interfaces for infrared, RF433MHz, and custom GPIO expansion. KC868-AGv3 supports Home Assistant, ESPHome, Arduino IDE, MicroPython, and ESP-IDF development. With KinCony KCS v3 firmware, it also supports MQTT Home Assistant Auto Discovery, so users can integrate sensors and decoded IR signals into Home Assistant without writing configuration code. Main Features ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U N16R8 module Built-in IR receiver IR sending via 3 GPIO channels 2 independent IR extension cable ports Built-in RF433MHz receiver Built-in RF433MHz sender Built-in buzzer 18 free GPIO ports on PCB Supports Home Assistant Supports ESPHome YAML configuration Supports Arduino IDE, MicroPython, and ESP-IDF development Supports KCS v3 firmware MQTT Home Assistant Auto Discovery Zero-code integration with Home Assistant using KCS firmware Suitable for smart home, IoT, IR control, RF remote control, and automation projects Home Assistant Integration KC868-AGv3 can be used with Home Assistant in two ways. Users can configure the device with ESPHome YAML for customized automation projects. It can also run KinCony KCS v3 firmware. With KCS v3 firmware, KC868-AGv3 supports MQTT Home Assistant Auto Discovery. Sensors and decoded IR signals can be automatically discovered in Home Assistant, making setup much easier without writing configuration code. IR and RF Control KC868-AGv3 includes both infrared and RF433MHz functions. The built-in IR receiver can be used to learn and decode infrared remote control signals. The IR sender can transmit IR signals through 3 GPIO channels, including onboard IR output and 2 independent IR extension cable ports. The RF433MHz receiver and sender allow the controller to work with 433MHz wireless remote controls, sensors, and RF devices.
