It seems to be a problem with the A8S v2 board.

I've tested the A8S v2 with the PoE board and none of the inputs work (using either the KCS or esphome firmware).

If you power the board using the 12v input, everything works as expected (the inputs work), but as soon as you power the board with the Kinkony PoE board, all inputs go down (and they stop showing the expected status).

You can easily diagnose this providing power to the board only with PoE, as you will see the inputs do not work (even using KCS firmware).

I've about 20 A8S v2 boards. How can I correct this so inputs work when using PoE power?

SIM7600E module plugged in kc868-A8S v2.0 , running KCS 2.2.2.

cannot send message,
cannot receive message (crash/reboot when message is received)
cannot receive call
can only place test phone call

also :

the SIM7600E module was successfuly tested with an usb-to-Serial converter and putty. --> the SIM7600 module works fine, can send/receive messages
I also tried Tasmota on the kc868, impossible to establish connection to the SIM7600 in serial bridge --> Issue with RX/TX GPIO13/GPIO15 ?

CALL : nothoing happens, no log]]>
SIM7600E module plugged in kc868-A8S v2.0 , running KCS 2.2.2.

cannot send message,
cannot receive message (crash/reboot when message is received)
cannot receive call
can only place test phone call

also :

the SIM7600E module was successfuly tested with an usb-to-Serial converter and putty. --> the SIM7600 module works fine, can send/receive messages
I also tried Tasmota on the kc868, impossible to establish connection to the SIM7600 in serial bridge --> Issue with RX/TX GPIO13/GPIO15 ?

I am using ESPHome 2024.5.5 on the KC868-A8S device. After uploading the firmware that includes the remote_receiver component on GPIO16 for 433 MHz receiving module, the device becomes unresponsive and the web dashboard returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Interestingly, when the remote_receiver component is not included, everything functions as expected.

Any ideas about that? Thank you!
