[admin]

KinCony KC868-A8v3 ESP32-S3 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. It have 8 channel digital input and 8 channel relay output, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs. One SD card using SPI bus. KinCony KC868-A8v3 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address. A8v3 have RS485 port. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32S3 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. A8v3 use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support Apple HomeKit.

hi amazing new product!
to use with esphome/ home assistant.. we need to use the NO port right?

[admin]

yes, usually use COM and NO by relay output.

Where does the processing/calculation of measured values/actions take place? (on the KC686-A8V3 or in HomeAssistant)? I have a measured value that I read in via DS1820. This value should be compared with a value that I can change via HA and activate an output if it is exceeded. What happens if HA is not available, is the action still executed?

download KCS v3 firmware firstly. then set DB18B20 sensor in "SENSOR" webpage. if you want make AUTOMATION, use by IFTTT.

Okay thanks. If I have created an automation with IFTTT, can I change a value via/with HomeAssisant? In my case, the value with which the DS18B20 should be compared?

[admin]

if you use by IFTTT, it work locally, not need set by home assistant. so that if home assistant system broken, AUTOMATION also work well.
