I have a smart home running with Home Assistant for quite some time. To automate all the lights, I created a central hub where all lights connect on my breaker panel (as the picture shows). I went with a very simple setup, using a Sonoff Basic flashed with Tasmota for each light switch. It works! But it is not great, and some relays are starting to fail. Also, buying new ones and flashing them with Tasmota is a little bit of a hassle. I wanted something better like a multiple channel relay. And that's when I recently saw KinCony!

It seems perfect to what I need. But there are so many board options available that I'm a little confused of which one to get. I want something that is reliable and safe, to be used in a DIN rail with up to 16 channels. Integration with Home Assistant is a must, but from what I saw, all boards support ESP Home. So what kind of board do you guys recommend? I saw that there were cheaper and more expensive ones, but I did not get the difference between them.

Thanks a lot!

I would like to ask for advice on which KinCony products would be best for controlling my water‑based underfloor heating system.

System layout:
Upstairs: 4 heating loops (manifold circuits) to be controlled separately.
Ground floor: 3 heating loops to be controlled separately.

In addition, I need to:
Switch the ground floor zone valve and the upstairs zone valve.
Provide a boiler enable signal via a volt‑free (dry) contact.

The existing “dumb” system should remain functional in parallel at first:
There is one programmable thermostat for the upstairs and one for the ground floor.These currently control the boiler and the two main zone valves.

Hardware idea:

I already have a KC868‑A8, which I plan to use for the ground floor (3 loops + ground‑floor zone valve + upstairs zone valve + boiler enable + some spare relays).

For the upstairs I am considering a KC868‑A6, which would handle the 4 loops and the upstairs zone valve.

A small amount of wiring between the floors is possible.

Control requirements:
I would like the basic heating logic (room thermostats, loop valves, zone valves, boiler enable) to run locally on the KinCony devices themselves, without depending on any central controller (so that heating continues to work even if Home Assistant or the network is down).

At the same time, I would like to be able to override or adjust the behaviour from Home Assistant when desired (setpoints, manual on/off, etc.).

Questions:
Does the combination KC868‑A8 (ground floor) + KC868‑A6 (upstairs) make sense for this scenario, or would you recommend a different KinCony board combination for 7 loops + 2 zone valves + boiler enable?
What is the recommended way to implement the local control logic on these boards (KinCony original firmware rules, ESPHome, Tasmota, custom ESP32 code, etc.), given that:
It should work safely and autonomously.
It should still be easy to integrate with Home Assistant.

Could you recommend any wireless room thermostats that can communicate directly with KinCony hardware (for example via LoRa, nRF24L01, 433 MHz, or another protocol supported by KC868‑A series), so that I could replace the existing wired thermostats completely in the future?

Any wiring diagrams, example projects or firmware configurations for a similar 2‑floor underfloor heating system would be very helpful.

I came here looking for a practical (and cheap, haha) solution for my modest project.

I've had a TECNOALARM TP5 alarm system at home for years.

As long as it keeps working, I have no intention of changing it, since it meets my needs.

But I would like to make it a bit "smart."

I would simply like to:

1. Activate/Deactivate it from my mobile phone (I use SmartLife for many of the smart plugs I have installed at home).

2. Know if the alarm has been triggered by an alert on my mobile phone.

I have the alarm's installer manual, so I could provide more information if needed.

So, is this possible with any of your panels? Which board would you recommend for this?

I've attached some images from the manual in case they're helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I have an existing home automation setup and need your advice please.
I have multiple modules of relays as on the picture below, they are DPDT relays, 12v coil.
32 relays in total that I control with a device I bought online 5 years ago (Arduino with 8x4 (32) outputs), it listens to MQTT brocker on Home Assistant and basically turns the relays ON/OFF, which are controlling all my lights and a few ceiling fans/exhausts.
This device becomes unreliable and freezes from time to time so I need a replacement.
Can you please recommend a Kincony device so I can manage my existing relays.

1. Project Overview
Residential Smart Home Automation Project
This project involves the design and implementation of a comprehensive Smart Home Automation System for a newly constructed three-story luxury residential villa located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The objective is to provide the homeowner with an intelligent, secure, energy-efficient, and fully integrated home automation solution by combining lighting control, HVAC automation, security systems, and centralized smart home management.
The villa has been carefully designed to separate guest areas from the family's private living spaces. The Ground Floor is dedicated primarily to guest reception and entertainment, while the upper floors are reserved for family accommodation and private facilities.
Ground Floor Layout
The Ground Floor consists of the following areas:

Male Drawing Room (Majlis) for receiving male guests.
Female Drawing Room (Majlis) for receiving female guests.
Central Reception Hall, providing access to all guest areas.
Large Kitchen, designed to support family and guest catering requirements.
Dining Room, located adjacent to the kitchen for convenient serving and dining.

External Areas
The exterior of the property includes a spacious private parking area and multiple controlled access points designed for both convenience and security.
The external access arrangement includes:

Motorized Main Vehicle Gate providing secure access to the private car parking area.
Main Pedestrian Entrance Gate serving as the formal entrance for guests and visitors.
Secondary Pedestrian Access Door, intended for the daily entry and exit of family members and household staff without operating the main entrance gate.

Male Drawing Room (Majlis) for receiving male guests.
Female Drawing Room (Majlis) for receiving female guests.
Central Reception Hall, providing access to all guest areas.
Large Kitchen, designed to support family and guest catering requirements.
Dining Room, located adjacent to the kitchen for convenient serving and dining.

Motorized Main Vehicle Gate providing secure access to the private car parking area.
Main Pedestrian Entrance Gate serving as the formal entrance for guests and visitors.
Secondary Pedestrian Access Door, intended for the daily entry and exit of family members and household staff without operating the main entrance gate.

This layout enables the Smart Home System to independently manage lighting, air conditioning, access control, surveillance, and security functions for each area while maintaining operational efficiency and enhancing the overall user experience.
The proposed automation system has been designed with scalability in mind, allowing future integration of additional smart devices and technologies without requiring major modifications to the existing infrastructure.]]> <![CDATA[Single Moment switch]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8842 Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:30:48 +0800 Borg357]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8842

Introduction
Hello everyone,
I purchased the KC868-A16V3 controller and was genuinely impressed by its hardware capabilities. To explore its potential beyond smart home applications, I developed a fully functional OPC UA server as a proof-of-concept. This project transforms the A16V3 into a practical industrial OPC UA data gateway.
2. Project Overview & Features
This is a stable, working implementation that demonstrates the controller's ability to serve as an industrial communication node:

OPC UA Server: Full server implementation based on open62541 and ESP-IDF.
Hardware Support: Utilizes all core I/O of the A16V3:
- 16 digital input/output channels (via integrated PCF8574).
- 4 analog input (ADC) channels.
Performance: Achieves consistent read times of less than 5ms per tag in testing.
Real-World Validation: Successfully integrated and tested with an industrial SCADA system (Simple SCADA). Screenshots are attached below.
Complete & Open: All source code is available, documented, and ready to be built upon.

3. Proof of Concept & Evidence
The project is not a commercial product but a verified and stable proof-of-concept. The screenshots below show the server's data points (tags) being actively read and monitored in a real SCADA client interface, confirming successful integration.
*(Прикрепи здесь 1-2 ключевых скриншота из Simple SCADA)*
4. Project Goals & Status

Primary Goal: To demonstrate that affordable, accessible hardware like the KC868-A16V3 can be effectively adapted for standard industrial protocols.
Current Status: Stable proof-of-concept. All core functionalities are implemented, tested, and operational. The code provides a solid foundation for further development, pilot projects, or customization.
Disclaimer: This is an open-source community project, not an official or commercial product from KinCony.

I would like to set up a system using Home Assistant, which will be controlled by voice commands, as well as via a tablet mounted on the wall and a smartphone app.

I found your device KinCony F32 ESP32-S3 16A Removable Relay Board released, and here is the question: is this device capable of handling all the listed components?

I am at the stage of cable routing in the house:

1. 3x2.5 cables for power outlets

2. 3x1.5 cables for light bulbs

3. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for switches/buttons that will control the bulbs

4. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for sensors

5. Ethernet Cat 6 cables for 6 reolink cameras

6. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for sensors/detectors

7. LED cables for lighting

8. 3x1.5 cable for garden lamps

9. 3x2.5 cable for the deep well pump

10. Underground cable 11x1 for the irrigation system

11. 3x1.5 cable for external blinds

12. 3x2.5 cable that in the future may be used for more powerful garden equipment

13. 3x2.5 cable for the sliding entrance gate and a separate cable for the garage gate.

Additionally, a LAN network and 2 APs will be installed in the house.

The devices I want to connect to your system are:

1. Hitachi heat pump model Yutaki S8kW, for water heating and underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor.

2. Domekt R450V LA/Z ventilation system (heat recovery).

3. 2 separate air conditioning units and an additional air conditioning unit that will support the ventilation system.

4. Cameras, NVR Frigate with CORAL AI module.

5. 11 external blinds on Yooda motors that can be connected to a micro control panel 1-channel DC 73 and wall remotes DC 315.

6. Irrigation system with 10 zones.

7. Entrance and garage gates.

8. Photovoltaic panels with an energy storage system.

9. All lighting points:
16 zones in the house, 2 zones will have staircase switches. Additionally, some places will have LED strips installed.

10. Sensors:

- Presence/motion sensors

- Door/window opening sensors (contact sensors)

- Vibration sensors

- Smoke detectors

- Flood sensors

- CO detectors

- Temperature and humidity sensors

- Wind and rain sensors

Connection diagram:

Distribution board number 1 will contain only "power outlets," and all 3x2.5 cables are routed here. Initially, I did not consider integrating them with smart/automation solutions, but if this is possible, I will consider it. Additionally, the photovoltaic installation will also be connected here.

Distribution board number 2 will contain everything else listed.

Both distribution boards are located in different rooms.
How to connect these 2 distribution boards using your solution?

Can you recommend your sensors and everything needed to assemble this system?
All recommendations, enhancements, and any tips are highly welcome.]]>

6. Ethernet Cat 5 cables for sensors/detectors

7. LED cables for lighting

8. 3x1.5 cable for garden lamps

9. 3x2.5 cable for the deep well pump

10. Underground cable 11x1 for the irrigation system

11. 3x1.5 cable for external blinds

12. 3x2.5 cable that in the future may be used for more powerful garden equipment

13. 3x2.5 cable for the sliding entrance gate and a separate cable for the garage gate.

Additionally, a LAN network and 2 APs will be installed in the house.

The devices I want to connect to your system are:

1. Hitachi heat pump model Yutaki S8kW, for water heating and underfloor heating on the ground floor and first floor.

2. Domekt R450V LA/Z ventilation system (heat recovery).

3. 2 separate air conditioning units and an additional air conditioning unit that will support the ventilation system.

4. Cameras, NVR Frigate with CORAL AI module.

5. 11 external blinds on Yooda motors that can be connected to a micro control panel 1-channel DC 73 and wall remotes DC 315.

6. Irrigation system with 10 zones.

7. Entrance and garage gates.

8. Photovoltaic panels with an energy storage system.

9. All lighting points:
16 zones in the house, 2 zones will have staircase switches. Additionally, some places will have LED strips installed.

10. Sensors:

- Presence/motion sensors

- Door/window opening sensors (contact sensors)

- Vibration sensors

- Smoke detectors

- Flood sensors

- CO detectors

- Temperature and humidity sensors

- Wind and rain sensors

Connection diagram:

Distribution board number 1 will contain only "power outlets," and all 3x2.5 cables are routed here. Initially, I did not consider integrating them with smart/automation solutions, but if this is possible, I will consider it. Additionally, the photovoltaic installation will also be connected here.

Distribution board number 2 will contain everything else listed.

Both distribution boards are located in different rooms.
How to connect these 2 distribution boards using your solution?

Can you recommend your sensors and everything needed to assemble this system?
All recommendations, enhancements, and any tips are highly welcome.]]> <![CDATA[A32pro MQTT auto discovery HA]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8746 Tue, 18 Nov 2025 04:27:49 +0800 Nikola]]> https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8746 “Why is it that every time I shut down Home Assistant and start it again, the A32pro MQTT auto-discovery for Home Assistant doesn’t work until I go to the A32pro’s IP address and reset the MQTT settings?”
