Sauna automation with Loxone and Kincony

[Hakuna23]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to automate my sauna using Loxone together with Kincony hardware.
My setup requires:

• Two temperature sensors (sauna room and heater)
  
• At least three relay outputs for sauna control (heater, ventilation, safety, etc.)
  
• One or two relays for lighting
  

I already found some information in the forum about integrating the relay outputs with Loxone, which looks straightforward.
However, I’m still unsure about the OneWire temperature sensors – I know how to connect them to the Kincony board, but I don’t know how to get the temperature values into Loxone.
Would the KC868-A8 v3 board be a good choice for this setup, or is there another Kincony board that fits better?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

for example , if you connect with DS18B20 sensor. use by KCS v3, will upload message to Loxone mini server by UDP command.

Hi! The KC868-A8 v3 is fine for controlling your relays. For OneWire sensors, each GPIO usually handles only one sensor, so you might need multiple GPIOs or consider a KC868-A4 for more sensors. You can send the temperature data to Loxone via Kincony’s UDP protocol—works well in most setups.
