Hello

I have 3 KC868-A16 boards.  All ESPHome on Homeassistant.

1 board doesnt restart properly after config change and sending it via OTA.  Sometimes it restarts properly, sometimes no.

When it fails, both ethernet lights flash on and off.  Power cycle resets board and works fine.

When I delete board from ESPHome and add a new board, 1st time compile and OTA works ok.  If I add another PIN, recompile and send via OTA, both ethernet lights flash and I have to power cycle board.

I have tested changes, OTA and restarts on other 2 boards, works ok.

Can you please assist.....this is a new board.

Thankyou..Peter

Anyone want to buy 2x KC868-A16 Ethernet ESP32 Development Boards?

Are there smart  sound System kincony

Or 
Can you suggest a compatible kincony smart sound System or home assistant ?

I am trying to setup my KC868-AG to receive both IR and RF. ( and later, send IR and RF). I can get it working with one or the other , but not both.
I believe I am missing something in the yaml file.
Would you have a sample yaml file that can do that ?
Thanks

I bought this base.
The program will learn from this.
I want to build an environment for attachments.
Please guide me.



Please check pdf file.

Greetings from USA--- I have KC868-H32B Controller with Switch Terminal Board v.2.1.  Controlling 13 outdoor lights, not using remainder relays currently.  Yesterday 2 October, system stopped being responsive to either inputs from app on phone, from remote control, and from push buttons.  Lights that were on before failure remain on, lights which are off can not be turned on.  

I have tried power on/off and I think it is possible the switch terminal board failed since I tested by first removing all loads and also tried to toggle relay by making contact on switch terminal board common + relay and nothing happens.   I have not been able to ever do a firmware update since I do not have Serial to USB cable, but I wonder if it is unrelated to firmware.  Does anyone have similar experience?  Anyone ever have Switch Terminal Board fail?[url=https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2320&action=lastpost][/url]

Thank you for your help!

hello!

I have COLB connected with home assistant by mqtt, when i restart home assistant all sensors turn to "unknown" to see the state again i have to restart COLB.
What have to do to maintain the state?

Hello Guys,

I have KC868 Server connected to HA by mqtt, i can read the entities and works well, in the relay board i connect 5 different lights also i add a wall switch which i connected to relay board and make an automation in HA to read the state of lights.
To connect relay and HA i manually add code to configuration yaml file.

My problem is that i have errors since i add switch code to yaml file. what im doing wrong??
Keep in mind that the automation works but when i press the button it has a delay 3 sec until light on

this is log details

this arduino source code for KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T work with 16 relay and 16 momentary switch buttons via Apple homekit app. you can download the BIN firmware directly without chanage any code. Or you can open arduino source code project to compile. The source code use homespan library, mainly use PCF8574 extend GPIOs work with homespan.
   
       

here is firmware BIN file for KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T:

  RealPushButtons.ino.nodemcu-32s-BIN.zip (Size: 623.62 KB / Downloads: 906)
here is arduino source code via homekit homespan library:

  RealPushButtons.zip (Size: 2.49 KB / Downloads: 948)

after you downloaded firmware, how to use:

1. power on of your KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T board , connect with USB cable with your PC.
   
find out your USB cable COM port.

   
Set COM port in your arduino IDE "Tool" menu

   
open "Serial Monitor", actually you can use any serial monitor tool, we use arduino , just to use it's "Serial Monitor"

after you downloaded firmware, first time to use, need type "W" in serial monitor, chose number of wifi SSID, input password. 
   
   
   
   

then use your iPhone or iPad to pair KC868-A4.
                                    
if you want to eraser all data , re-config homespan, then you can send "E" to serial port.
   

I am using kincony a16 with 16 relay board with esphome running but at the boot time all the relays  toggle  and make the relays on and off ...is their a way to stop this in the software side..this is become a big problem for me due all the appliance connect to relays suddenly become active and then turn off at the a16 booting up....below is my config
