  Free sample
Posted by: MrJelly - 05-07-2025, 06:49 PM - Forum: Apply for free sample product - No Replies

Hello Kincony Team,
My name is Bart, and I am currently in the exciting process of building my new home. I am very interested in integrating smart home technology throughout and am seriously considering Kincony as the primary manufacturer for these devices, with a particular focus on wired Ethernet-connected devices, not Tuya.
As I am in the early stages of designing the complete electronic and electric wiring from scratch, having the opportunity to test some of your products firsthand would be incredibly beneficial. My preference is to explore your wired Ethernet options for robust and reliable connectivity.
Based on the "Apply For Free Sample of KinCony Product" page, I would like to request a sample to evaluate. While my current situation doesn't perfectly align with the listed conditions, I believe it could potentially fall under category B - "Start a Project." My project is the complete smart integration of my new home, and testing your wired Ethernet devices would be a crucial first step in this endeavor. I plan to thoroughly document my integration process and potentially share my experiences with the wider community as my project progresses, focusing on the benefits and implementation of a wired smart home system.
Would it be possible to receive a sample of a wired Ethernet-connected Kincony product suitable for smart home integration for testing in this context? I am particularly interested in exploring devices that do not rely on the Tuya platform.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Bart

  A16v3 cannot use multiple digital output on one load?
Posted by: tomori_nao - 05-06-2025, 08:53 AM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (1)

   
Hi. I have bought your A16v3 and install your KCSv3 on it. I am making a Door entrance and alarm system for my shop/house using your A16v3 board with Home Assistant. For now I test with one door and one buzzer, later I add more door window sensor.

I am trying two different digital output setting for one buzzer. Meaning I connect two digital output wire to one buzzer as shown in picture above.

I use DO1 for alarm sound. When night time and shop is closed, if someone open the door, the buzzer will turn on continuous.

I use DO2 for notification beep sound during the day, when shop is opened and customer open the door it will play a short beep. Because I want a short beep, i set it to delay with 3x100ms.

When I connect the board as shown in picture above, the KCSv3 become buggy. It become slow to load, freeze or crash and not responding to click. And when it on the buzzer in IFTT or Home Assistant automation, it doesn't follow my setting as above, it just on for two or three seconds then it off. I have to factory reset the board to make it ok again. If I connect only one digital output to my buzzer, it work OK. 

So does this mean I cannot connect two digital output to one load? I have to use two or more buzzer and connect separately for each different type of programming?

I am planning to use the a32 pro for a project 
But before buying the board is there a cheaper version with less io that I can use to test if the board is something for us to work with.   So same functionality as the a32 pro but less io

  Kincony A16 does not enter programming mode
Posted by: pgarbacz - 05-04-2025, 10:06 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (5)

Hello,

I recently bought KC868-A16 unit and just installed that in my electric box. I supplied 12V, connected the USB cable and tried to program it with ESPHOME firmware.

The problem I'm facing is that the unit is not showing up as COM port in Windows. Steps I took to enter the programming mode I guess should be:
1. connect USB-C to the computer
2. press and hold S2
3. connect 12V power

This should make the unit switching to upload, shouldn't it?

I tried also alternative path. I connected the unit through ethernet (on WiFi there is no custom KC868-like network so I guess maybe through ethernet it should work). The unit got assigned an IP address (checked it on the router) and can be pinged properly.

When trying to open http://units-ip/ page nothing shows up. I also guess there should be some standard firmware UI accessible under this address, shouldn't it?

How do I proceed? Please support.

  KC868-AI and pulse_counter
Posted by: scorx - 05-03-2025, 08:48 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (2)

I am really new to working with ESP32.
My goal is to use the device to count Pulse from electricity meters.

I understand ESP has a pulse counter sensor 
https://esphome.io/components/sensor/pulse_counter.html

Code:
# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: pulse_counter
    pin: GPIOXX
    unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
    name: 'Power Meter House'
    filters:
      - multiply: 0.06  # (60s/1000 pulses per kWh)

Also, I read only 8 channels can be used.

Quote:On the ESP32, this sensor is even highly accurate because it’s using the hardware pulse counter peripheral on the ESP32. However, due to the use of the pulse counter peripheral, a maximum of 8 channels can be used!

So this limits me a bit in my initial plan, as I try to read out pulse (s0) from 24 different power meters.

Question1: when I try this function block, almost all ports are already "in use" for some other function, or I get the message "WARNING GPIO5 is a strapping PIN and should only be used for I/O with care.". How can I deduct which PINS can actually be used? I assumed all the GPIOs could be used, but I am just starting out so still need to learn some things.

Question2: Considering the maximum number of channels is 8, does KC868-AI has 8 free GPIO available? If not, are there other kincony boards available? I could then use 3 of those to cover all meters.

does this makes sense?

  Information on A6V3 board page.
Posted by: Smithgrind - 05-03-2025, 07:17 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

On the page "https://www.kincony.com/esp32-s3-6-channel-relay-module.html", the image with the board components, wouldn't the correct thing be "Digital Imputs" instead of "Digital Outputs"?
I got a little confusing with the information.

Another issue.. i can't find anywhere the battery model to use on the RTC battery holder of A6V3 board. It's important to let us know this information in the webpage.
