  T16M Output after reset
Posted by: Steen - 09-12-2025, 01:15 PM - Forum: T16M - Replies (8)

Just received myT16M in the mail this morning and I'm performing some test.

I installed the KCS 3.12 firmware and the servers webgui etc came up as expected.

Under the tab System there is this option: "Keep Output After Restart"
With this enabled I expected the outputs to com up in the last known state before restart or powertoggle, but all outputs comes up in a off state

  Getting started with KC-868AG Pro for blinds control with ESPHome/Home Assistant
Posted by: Parallax Abstraction - 09-09-2025, 10:54 PM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (15)

Hey everyone.

First off, a lot of what I'm asking will be novice questions here, but I'm a quick learner.

I have a set of automated blinds that are controlled with a remote on 433.92Mhz. I purchased a KC-868AG Pro in order to be able to automate them using Home Assistant. I did check out some material on the device before I bought it, but it seems a lot of it assumed some basic setup had been done before hand and I'm struggling with that. I am a technical person and work in IT, but haven't done much with these kinds of devices. Clear documentation and firmware is not easy to find on KinCony's web site and after spending quite some time, I'm not sure I'm going down the right path.

I have downloaded and installed the CH431SER driver on Windows 11 and the device does get detected when plugged in with USB. From what I understand, the next step is to install the ESPHome firmware for this device. However, I cannot find it. Every page about firmware on this forum I can find doesn't list one for this model and I can't find anything for it on the main web site. As I understand it, I can't join the device to my wi-fi or start programming it without this, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. In addition, is USB power all this device needs for what I want to do or will I need a separate power adapter? Since it powers on and it reachable over USB alone, I'm assuming that's all I need for my use case but again, it's unclear. I understand that I also need a default YAML file for ESPHome for Home Assistant to recognize the device. Is this the case and if so, is there somewhere I can grab that as well?

Once I get the basics done, I think I can figure things out from there. I'm just at a loss on these beginning steps.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

  [arduino code examples for DM16]-09 how to communication with Tuya WiFi module

Code:

*
* This Arduino program implements communication between ESP32 and the Tuya module

*
* Functionality:
* 1. When the ESP32 receives a heartbeat packet (55 AA 00 00 00 00 FF),
*    it sends a heartbeat response (55 AA 03 00 00 01 00 03).
* 2. When the ESP32 receives a product information request (55 AA 00 01 00 00 00),
*    it sends a product information response (55 AA 03 01 ...).
* 3. When the ESP32 receives a work mode request (55 AA 00 02 00 00 01),
*    it sends a work mode response (55 AA 03 02 00 03 10 1C 14 47).
* 4. When the ESP32 receives a network status request (55 AA 00 03 00 01 00 03),
