Photo Need Advice for New 3-Floor Smart Home Construction Using KinCony Controllers (Nepal)
Posted by: jitendra - 06-18-2026, 02:47 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (2)

Hi everyone ❤️,
I am from Nepal and will start building my new house this month. another controller, which is best for 2 floors, there are many channels needed for 50 channel need for 2 floors  
I already have a KinCony AIO controller and would like to plan the smart home wiring before construction begins.
I have attached my floor plan. Could you please suggest:

  • Best switch type (momentary/dry contact)
  • I want to bypass the switch also 
  • I place the floor-wise DB box and want to install it 
  • Recommended sensors (presence, motion, door, water leak, smoke, etc.)
  • RS485 wiring recommendations
  • Any important things I should install now for future expansion
Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much! ?
Jitendra
Nepal ??
By the way, I lived in Japan. If any person from Nepal wants to import easily,

  Request for free sample

Hi Kincony,

I would like to request a KC868-A4 for an Open source university final-degree project (Type A): bridging a wired 230V PIR motion detector to MQTT (Mosquitto) using KC868-A4 + ESPHome over WiFi, alongside our existing Zigbee2MQTT setup. Documentation, wiring diagrams and code will be published openly (CC BY-SA 3.0)

Kind regards.

  KCS v2 relay state after reboot
Posted by: rosebl22 - 06-18-2026, 03:14 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

Hi,
In KCS v2, can relay states be automatically restored after a power loss and reboot, or do they always start from the default state?
Thanks.

  Request for 230VAC LEDs / Downlight
Posted by: benoitd54 - 06-17-2026, 06:08 AM - Forum: Development - Replies (5)

Hello, 

I'm currently building my house and i'm planning to be able to adjust the lighting in all my rooms (30 zones).

I came across your DIN rail modules, which I think are perfect. Great job!! 

However, a have a quick question: how can I dim 230VAC dimmable LED spotlights / downlight from 0% to 100% without any flickering and which the real 0% (using a triac?) ? 

Best regards

Benoit

  The watch shows the wrong time in standalone mode.
Posted by: rosnoteh - 06-15-2026, 08:06 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (4)

KC868-A16v3, firmware v3.25.0, battery 3,05V.
The watch shows the wrong time in standalone mode. The controller is connected to a local network without internet access. Time zone - UTC+3.
Turn on the controller. Click "Synchronize browser time".
The controller's clock shows the same time as the computer's clock. Turn off the controller, and then turn on the controller. The controller clock shows the time 3 hours later.
Turn off the controller again, and then turn on the controller. The controller clock shows the time 6 hours later.

"Is there a feature or logic in the Kincony A4S firmware that supports the following switch behavior: a single press toggles the light ON/OFF, while pressing and holding increases the brightness, and releasing then pressing and holding again decreases the brightness?"

  KC868-a6 2 analog outputs (DAC)
Posted by: bikovalexand - 06-14-2026, 10:26 AM - Forum: KC868-A6 - Replies (7)

Hello, I'm working on a project that uses both outputs of a KC868-a6 v1.33 controller (0-10 V DAC). I'm writing the program in OpenPLC Editor.
The signal on both outputs changes proportionally, but not from 0-10 V, only from 0-3.3 V. What could be the problem?
 I tried downloading the latest version of KCS (v.2.2.20) to the controller, connecting to it via WiFi, and changing the output values. They output from 0 V to 3.3 V. I understand the LM258DR should amplify the signal by three times? Perhaps it's not working?
Thank you

Hi, is there a way to use any of the GPIOs of this board to connect a Wiegand reader?

Monsieur l'administrateur;
vu que le KC868A8 est programmable par editor plc serait-il possible de faire de même avec son grand frere le KC868A16 ainsi que pour le kc868A32 car il semble que c'est les memes plateformes avec plus d'entrees et sorties sur le bus i2c en modifiant la boucle programmable en c++
