Is there a template to cut a hole in the A16v3 case to be able to show the contents of the SSD1306 screen? Or do you have a see-through case to be able to make the screen visible?

Currently, it doesn't make sense to add a screen under the cover, since you have to undo four screws to be able to see it.

Thanks in advance!

I do not know what I am doing wrong: 

I am trying to test my SD CARD on the a16v3 . I used your code in the arduino source code - "How to use SD CARD". 

The code writes the hello.txt file to SD but deletes it afterwards. I would like to confirm that the file was written by inserting the SD CARD into my computer and see the file. 

So I commented out the delete function but I do not see the file on my SD CARD .. any Idea what I might be doing wrong? 

This is my serial monitor message I get without the delete function: 

SD Card Type: SDHC
SD Card Size: 29820MB
Writing file: /hello.txt
File written
Appending to file: /hello.txt
Message appended
Reading file: /hello.txt
Read from file: Hello World!
1048576 bytes read for 653 ms
1048576 bytes written for 740 ms
Total space: 29805MB
Used space: 6MB

I use a 32GB SD CARD and did format it to FAT32 with Allocation Unit Size - 32 kb.

I also included the updated code below where I removed the delete function if that helps.

I appreciate any help as I am lost.

I have a 13.8v switching power supply but kc868-A16 doesn't work at this voltage.

Is it possible to use this power supply and how ?

If not possible, what could be the solution ?

Glad to join the forum, there are a lot of interesting things here.

I just received my Kincony A16v3 board equipped with the display. I planned to run it directly under ESPHome. 
I flashed my YAML file, but upon reboot, it wouldn't get an IP address. I finally found the issue: it worked when I placed it right next to the Wi-Fi router. 

At best, I get a signal at 2.4 meters away. It's as if the built-in antenna isn't working. Is this normal? 

What kind of performance/behavior are you experiencing?

Do you have any suggestion to use the DS3231 RTC clock through ESPHome on this KC868-a16 v3 board? Do you have any yaml code to suggest?
Thanks a lot,

I've tried with another usb cable, pressing buttons reset/rebootable during power it on... Still impossible to connect. I've tried with Putty and serial communication with the USD cable; without success...

Any idea is welcome.]]>

Located the newest firmware. v3.18.0

launched the flash download tool 3.9.2

Settings at esp32s3, usb

My com port is COM4.

open my firmware v3.18.0, all default settings.

I hit "START", and nothing..  ??

Is there a button that I have to hit on the Z1 unit?

Couldn't find the Z1 forum here, sorry if in wrong area.

Thank you, looking forward to this Z1 being added to my system.

 I have a Board Model A16v3 - Software Version v3.9.1 Kincony relay using Home Assistant to control my devices (MQTT(HA)).

I learned in a few RF controls.  I used the Kincony A16V3 website to send the RF signals, which control my devices.

However, Home Assistant sees all the RF sensors, but doesn't see any of the RF controls??

Are there any other steps that I need to do to make the RF controls some into HA?

Thank you
