KC868-a8v3
Great, I have spent a whole afternoon looking for a bug!
And then, we quietly changed the PIN Define file without saying anything

ESP32 I/O pin define: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7970

Is it so difficult to issue a short INFO?

Hello,

I have 8 wooden doors and I want to install a 12v electric lock in each one and also a NFC card reader in each one.

To power the electric locks I can use a kincony board with 8 relays, but each card reader needs to be connected via SPI or with I2C

Is there a kincony board that can resolve this needs?

Edit:
problem is that the card readers might have the same I2C address, probably I do need a I2C multiplexor TCA9548A?

Also, if I want to use Kincony F series I see that the I2C port is utilized by a LCD screen… how can I overcome this difficulty?

Thanks

Will it be possible to you can add in official FW support for recording the peak voltage, current, power and expose that through modbus registers? Plus add "clear peak values" modbus register where we can write a "1" to clear out the peak values. It would be great to monitor the spikes that can cause the breakers trigger. Also a great thing that implement for this type of devices would be support for LXI protocol so it could be used with software like this one: https://github.com/lxi-tools/lxi-tools

The peak values I think is most important here as it will be beneficial many users. The LXI support I will implement on my own but having it also out of the box would be beneficial. 

Question regarding the ARM with modbus server, does it read the values from BL09010 in the loop or does it read for each request from modbus?

please can you publish the dimensions of the switch https://shop.kincony.com/products/moment...5651591333
would be a good idea to have a technical drawing of the dimensions on your website.

is it the same for all gang variants, I want to understand if it will fit in a Swiss in wall housing (which is slightly smaller than that of the EU

60mm approx in diameter with 49mm depth
My wish is th use the keypad with the HAv2 module

Thanks!

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

I am expecting to automate Climate Controlling,Irrigation,Fertigation,Shading in my Greenhouse of 10 000 square feet using kincony Hardwares and Home assistant.Can any one Suggest me What kind of Selections of Kincony Controllers I can use for above Project.(all the crops are grow in grow bags).I have a 20 000. Sqare feet greenhouse too.If this is success I am going to automate that one too.

 When I enter WLAN and Ethernet together in ESPHome, I get the following error message:

Can you please provide a code example?

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!
