Hi guys,

i have bought KC868-A32 board, and my plan is to use relays on board to control some devices using apple homekit environment.
I am not going to implement or develop any software. I just need to flash firmware for this board and then add it to homekit.

However i am struggling what firmware/software/bin to use, or how to do it. I have successfully flashed KCS firmware but it is not supporting homekit.
I found that homespan package in ArduinoIDE would help, but as i said i am not going to develop software based on examples.
i want to automate devices within homekit.

Please advice how to make relays in KC868-A32 board visible in homekit. Is some homekit firmware available and ready for use like for HB32-PRO?
Actually i bought this board because it was stated that it supports homekit.

Thank you.

Hi, I bought one of Kincony KC868-AG IR RF Transmitter / Recievers from AlliExpress hoping that it would integrate better with my Home Assistant set-up vs my current transmitter / receiver which only works via Tuya SmartLife. The adverts looked like a device that was 'ready to go' but I am starting to understand that this is not the case and that there is a reasonable amount of coding and configuration etc required to get this to work or am I missing something? Out of the box there were no instructions or any guidance on how this works. So far I managed:

1. Set-up ESP Home on Home Asistant
2. Connect to the device and load the configuration including wifi; HA api / passwords etc
3. I now have an entity for firmware updates, but that is it.

I can see some of the suggestions on setting up the Yaml to start to get the receivers to work but have had limited success and am getting multiple errors and the yaml from the post KC868-UAIR ESPHOME Config for IR and RF (kincony.com) isnt really complete and fully working as far as I can tell. Here are my errors:

• IR Reciever - ERROR [inverted] is an invalid option for [1]. Please check the indentation. I did add some indentation and just got another error.
  
• Buzzer - commented out as I have a warning about pin4 being a strapping pin
  
• Entity - is not a valid domain - not sure what to select for a buzzer though!
  

I need a smart audio system that works with the KC868-SERVER so that the speakers of each room can be controlled individually or all together
Please help select materials that are compatible with KC868-SERVER

we have designed 8 Channel Manual Bypass Switch for smart home automation controller. If controller is broken or bad, so that can use manual control buttons for your smart system.
 

Hello everybody!

I am looking at adding a DS1307 RTC connected via I2C, anyone you can recommended that has been testet and easy to connect?

Presume source code are the same as for the KC868-A6.

A. install docker on KC868-Server CM4 on raspberry pi OS

1. sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh

2. sudo docker run hello-world

this test whether docker install correct.

3. sudo systemctl daemon-reload

4. sudo systemctl docker

5. sudo systemctl start docker

B. install GUI portainer

1. sudo docker pull portainer/portainer

2. sudo docker volume create portainer_data

3. docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer

4. login web browser by http://ip:9000

I'm using KC868-H16.
