Dear Support Team,

I am writing to request technical assistance regarding the Kincony N30 power monitoring controller. I am currently using the device with ESPHome via the Modbus interface (reading the BL0910 chips).

While the device is functioning correctly in terms of connectivity, I have encountered a significant limitation regarding energy consumption data.

The Issue: The Modbus energy registers (e.g., addresses 140, 142, etc., for Chip 1) only return integer values. Even when the sensors are configured to display 3 or more decimal places in ESPHome, the
data received from the device is always a whole number (e.g., 0.000 kWh, 1.000 kWh).

Technical Details:
Device: Kincony N30 (ESP32-S3 with W5500 Ethernet).
Interface: Modbus RTU over UART.

Observations: The Voltage (V) and Power (W) registers provide high-resolution data with correct decimals. However, the Energy (kWh) registers do not seem to transmit fractional increments.

Log evidence: My logs confirm the device is sending states like 0.00000 kWh even when a load is active, and only jumps to the next whole number after a full kWh has been consumed.
Example log snippet: [sensor:135]: 'bl0910_1_energy_1': Sending state 0.00000 kWh with 3 decimals of accuracy

My Questions:
Does the current firmware of the Kincony N30 support fractional energy readings (e.g., Wh or 0.001 kWh increments) via Modbus? Is there a specific multiplier or a different register address I should use to obtain higher-resolution energy data? Is there a firmware update available that addresses this resolution limitation?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi

I have A32 PRO board. I used KCS firmware. i'm a beginner with Home assistant and ESP. Today i was trying to integrate this with Home Assistant. I used .yaml file by ESPHome builder in HA, but i didnt know that this erase KCS firmware. Now when i try to flash KCS board didnt response on this. After flash in console i see:

Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...

is stub and send flash finish


But board didnt work. When I flash .yaml for esp home board is connect with HA, but for now i need KCS firmware, i have to fast repair ligts control by switches, becouse my wife is mad now ;d. 

Can you help me?

Привет!
KCS в целом рабочая система, но настройка IFTTT через веб-интерфейс получается громоздкой, особенно когда нужно быстро и массово сопоставить входы и выходы (например DI1 → DO1 toggle и так далее).

Я сделал небольшое браузерное расширение (без Node-RED и без перепрошивок), которое добавляет на страницу /ifttt.html компактную панель для массовой настройки:

автоматическое определение DI/DO (из cookie Device, input_num / output_num)

Fill 1–16 / Fill 1–DOmax / Fill all (1–DImax)

массовое применение правил через POST /ifttt/save_channel

выбор триггера (single / double / hold / edges) и действия ON / OFF / TOGGLE

Было бы здорово увидеть официальный “bulk IFTTT mapper” прямо в KCS. Такая функция реально экономит время, а обещания «скоро добавим» длятся уже не первый год ?

Hi!
KCS is a functional system, but the IFTTT web UI becomes quite heavy when you need fast bulk DI→DO mapping (for example DI1 → DO1 toggle for many channels).

I made a small browser extension (no Node-RED, no firmware changes) that adds a compact bulk-mapping panel to /ifttt.html:

automatic DI/DO detection (from the Device cookie: input_num / output_num)

Fill 1–16 / Fill 1–DOmax / Fill all (1–DImax)

bulk rule application via POST /ifttt/save_channel

trigger selection (single / double / hold / edges) and action ON / OFF / TOGGLE

It would be great to see an official “bulk IFTTT mapper” built directly into KCS. This kind of feature saves a lot of time, and the “coming soon” promise seems to be going on for years ?

Am I missing something on the site - do you make a diver to go over the front of this like I have for my F16?  The F16 is a cracking product but I need a second and would prefer PoE if possible, but due to location it must have a cover. 

Thank you,

Hello,

Is the schematic diagram available for the B8M?
I am specifically looking to see if the INT pin 1 of the PCF8575 is connected to anything.
I have used the PCF8575 IC in other applications, and prefer to use the interrupt when possible.

Thank You

Hi Admin

Using ESPHome and Homeassistant, the publish_initial_state warning has been there for some time when compiling.  Is this an option we fix in YAML or something the ESPHome people will sort with their code ?

WARNING GPIO5 is a strapping PIN and should only be used for I/O with care.
Attaching external pullup/down resistors to strapping pins can cause unexpected failures.
See https://esphome.io/guides/faq/#why-am-i-...pping-pins
WARNING The 'publish_initial_state' option has been replaced by 'trigger_on_initial_state' and will be removed in a future release

Many Thanks..Peter

Hello,

on the F32, if I want to use a Kincony 433 Mhz remote:

- can I do this with ESPHome instead of KCS?
- do I need to buy a RF433 MHz tx/rx module, or is it included in the board already?
- with the ESPHome firmware, how do I learn the codes from the remote controller and associate them to relays?

Thank you!

Hello

I just bought an N30.

I have a 3 phase (3x240V) energy system at home.
So 3 wires (L1, L2 and L3) come in with 240V difference between the wires, but no neutral.
Each of those wires has a CT clamp from KC webstore around it.

I flashed KCS  v3.19.0 and ARM processor (N10203060_KU_V20_251231), but the readings show a frequency of 3x10 Hz (should be 50) and a voltage of +- 20V, one of +- 40V and one of +-30V. All three should be around 230V.

Al my fuse boxes are 2fase, so it always takes two of three available phases. The CT clamp around those seems to have good current readings. 
I also have two higher load 3 phase fuses.
The fuse has 3 outgoing wires, each a phase. Each of those wires has a CTclamp around it.


In software, one is is registered on E3ch8,ch9 and ch10. Channels 8 and 10 always show 0.59A  and channel 9 always 0A. When I'm using that fuse (cooking), ch8 and 10 go up and show the same value. ch9 stays at 0.
Also, like other post, Energy always 0KWh
