How to enable 2 IIC buses at the same time?

Posted by: ronpsc - 06-11-2026, 02:54 AM - Forum: KC868-A128 - Replies (1)

	Dear Sir, May I know how to enable both IIC buses for DI and DO at the same time for KC868-A128 in Arduino IDE? I can only enable one each time, so that I cannot program the board to trigger outputs when inputs changed. Thanks, Ron

Automatic water Level Controller

Posted by: unais - 06-10-2026, 01:46 PM - Forum: Apply for free sample product - No Replies

	Hi Team I'm currently researching for a Water Controller System. So i need a main controller to research. If it works better, useful for the community. This is a fully automated water level controller and monitoring system with advanced systems. So if you support me, i can build a solution for that.

M16v2 and SCT013-050

Posted by: SixSixOne - 06-10-2026, 10:20 AM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (5)

Dear Sir,
I have bought a M16v2 recently and try to make it work with SCT013-050 50A/1V sensors (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050092...1802lqJyc9) with the jumper positioned in the "V" measurement on the board.

I've used the last yaml code you provided (also attached) however it is not measuring anything.

My house has 3 phases and I have already checked all 3 phases as they are coming from teh grid as well as from a socket.
I've never received any measurement the Amperage is always 0A and the RAW measurements 0.11A, 0.12A, 0.13A

Any idea what is going on?

Tks a lot

connect 2 KC868 to homeassistant with mqtt broker Mosquitto

Posted by: guycaluwaerts - 06-09-2026, 08:33 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (5)

Dear,

I try to integrate 2 Kincony boards ( KC868-A16 an KC868-AP) in Homeassistant by mqtt broker Mosquitto.

For the board kc868-A16 I made the correct settings I think.

Mqtt : enable
broker address : mqtt://192.168.0.157
broker port : 1883
broker username : mqtt
broker password : 123

In the screen ' monitor' : status mqtt : connected.

My problem is the integration in homeassistant. I followed your tutorial, but at step 3, I don't understand how you imported the yaml files of your boards in the file editor.
Is it possible to explain how to import the yaml files for the boards KC868-A16 and KC868-AP ?

Second question : When I connect the secondboard ( KC868-AP), can I use the same settings for the mqtt broker ?

INCREMENTAL ENCODER

Posted by: fabuena - 06-08-2026, 10:04 PM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (3)

Hello,
I want to connect a CALT GHW38 incremental encoder with a built-in measuring wheel to my KC 868-A8 in the simplest way possible.
Should I get an NPN, PNP, or 5V line driver encoder?
Dispositivo de Medición de Longitud CALT GHW38, Codificador Rotatorio con Salida de Pulso, con Rueda Antideslizante de 200 mm/300 mm de Circunferencia - AliExpress

Which inputs do I connect signals A and B to?

Thanks
