  E16V3 - Documentation issues
Posted by: ldebacker - 02-22-2026, 11:59 AM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (1)

Hello,

There are 2 issues with the documentation of the 4 dip switches to set the slave ID on the bus.
Let's call, from left to right, the 4 dip switches respecively A0 A1 A2 A3.

1/ 
The documentation mentions that when A3 is in OFF state, this means the outputs are controlled by the input terminals (and when in ON state, it is controlled by MODBUS).
It is actually the reverse: When A3 is in OFF state, the device is controlled by MODBUS.

2/
The documentation specifies that when identifying the slave id, the value of the slave id is:  (A0 * 1  + A1 * 2 + A2 * 4) + 10.
so: A0=ON A1=OFF A2= OFF should give  slave ID  (1 * 1 + 0 * 2 + 0 * 4 ) + 10 = 11 (according to the table in the documentation)

It is actually the reverse: from trials/errors, the formula to apply seems to be (A0 * 4 + A1 * 2 + A2 * 1) + 10
so: A0=ON A1=OFF A2= OFF is, in reality slave ID  (1 * 4 + 0 * 2 + 0 * 1 ) + 10 = 14 (from experience).

  E16V3 - No reply if command issued just after another command to another device on th
Posted by: ldebacker - 02-22-2026, 11:48 AM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (5)

Hello,

I have 2 E16V3 installed as 2 different slaves on the same modbus.

When I send a command to each in isolation, I  receive a response within a few milli-seconds from the E16V3.

But when I send a command to the second E16V3 immediately after successful response from the first one, then I never receive the response from the second device.

It seems that the second E16V3 is puzzled by the activity on the bus that is not intended to himself.

I have to retry the command to the second E16V3, or wait (20 miliseconds for example) before sending the command to the second E16V3

I can help troubleshooting further if needed.

BRs,

Laurent

  T32M issue with Output 1
Posted by: Serg!o - 02-21-2026, 11:57 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (3)

Hi,

I have just received my T32M device and started assembly. I noticed that Output 1 is directly connected to DC+, turning on/off the output doesn't stop the circuit, it's always on.
I have recorded a short video to demo. Can you please advise if there is something special about output 1 or if there is a fault? All other outputs from 2 to 32 are ok, can turn them on and off.

T32M Output 1 problem

  Incoming SMS not reported via MQTT
Posted by: JCh - 02-21-2026, 09:12 PM - Forum: G1 - Replies (2)

Hello,
I am using Kincony G1 with SIM7600 module fw KCS 3.19.1 and MQTT integration.

According to the forum documentation, incoming SMS should be reported via MQTT STATE  topic in this format:

Code:
{
"sms_recv": {
"phone": "+8612345678901",
"content": "example"
}
}


Unfortunately, I am unable to get this working.
My setup:
  • Device: Kincony G1
  • GSM module: SIM7600
  • Firmware: KCS v3.19.1
  • MQTT broker: working correctly
  • Home Assistant 2026.2.3
  • Topics: 
     G1/XXXXXXXXXXXX/SET -  working (sending SMS works)
     G1/XXXXXXXXXXXX/STATE -  working (inputs, call_ring, etc.)
What works:
  • MQTT STATE reporting for inputs (input1…input12)
  • Outgoing SMS via MQTT (run_sms)

What does NOT work:
  • Incoming SMS and calling are not reported to MQTT
  • No (sms_recv) payload is published to STATE topic

Tests performed:
  • Clean SIM card (no stored SMS)
  • Very simple SMS content: TEST (no diacritics, no multipart)
When an SMS is received, no new MQTT message is published at all.

Question: Is sms_recv currently supported on Kincony G1 with SIM7600 in official KCS v3 firmware?

If yes:
  • Is there any additional configuration required?
  • Is SMS TEXT mode (AT+CMGF=1) required and handled automatically by firmware?

If not:
  • Can you confirm that incoming SMS → MQTT reporting is currently not supported / disabled for this hardware?
Thank you for clarification.

  N60 not retrieving IP
Posted by: edalquist - 02-21-2026, 06:22 PM - Forum: N60 - Replies (2)

I have a brand new N60, when I power it up and connect it to my network it doesn't pull an IP address from DHCP. The connection light on the ethernet jack turns on but no IP is setup. Is there a default IP for this device?

  Free sample for teaching
Posted by: jllima - 02-20-2026, 06:10 PM - Forum: Apply for free sample product - No Replies

I am teaching Embedded Systems and IoT courses in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal. It would be interesting to include Kincony products in the course curriculum. Students usually apply the products used in academia in future developments of their professional careers. 
Thank you.

  Recommendation for N60 wiring?
Posted by: edalquist - 02-20-2026, 03:22 PM - Forum: N60 - Replies (3)

How are people wiring into the terminal blocks on the N60? Should I add ferrules to the 3.5mm female jack tails or is there a better way?

  PinOut AOI KC868-A8V3
Posted by: JuDie07 - 02-20-2026, 10:25 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hello, I need the pinout for my KC868-A8V3.
I have already found all possible AIO/pinouts on your website, but mostly only version 1.3 (without SD card). 
I need exactly this physical pin assignment (1-8).
I have the GPIO assignment “SPI-MOSI: GPIO10, SPI-SCK: GPIO11....”
Thanks in advance.

  Help choosing equipment for my small project
Posted by: PaPiTo - 02-19-2026, 10:18 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (20)

First of all, thank you for welcoming me to this forum.

I came here looking for a practical (and cheap, haha) solution for my modest project.

I've had a TECNOALARM TP5 alarm system at home for years.

As long as it keeps working, I have no intention of changing it, since it meets my needs.

But I would like to make it a bit "smart."

I would simply like to:

1. Activate/Deactivate it from my mobile phone (I use SmartLife for many of the smart plugs I have installed at home).

2. Know if the alarm has been triggered by an alert on my mobile phone.

I have the alarm's installer manual, so I could provide more information if needed.

So, is this possible with any of your panels? Which board would you recommend for this?

I've attached some images from the manual in case they're helpful.

Thanks in advance!
