A32 for blinds - KCS firmware question/issues - voyo - 05-24-2025
Hello!
So I bought A32 device, and I want it to drive my blinds. First I tried with original KCS firmware. While hardware is pretty decent, the firmware unfortunately seems to be half-baked
Questions/issues I have -
1) I couldn't find any option to save/restore configuration from device. If you need to configure all relays on device with so many ports - it extremally inconvenient to re-configure everything you are trying new firmware (or just updating it). Or maybe Im just missing something ?
2) I want to configure slightly more complex behavior for this board -
I have momentary buttons (up/down), so I wanted to
a) run motor only when button is pressed
b) with long-click - open/close roller completely
c) with double-click - open/close to 50%
I tried to use rising/falling edge detection for start/stop motor, - this works, but then I cannot configure any other functions like longclick or doubleclick
4) "Jogging" functionality seems not working in this firmware at all, or I just dont know how to configure it.
5) I was able to find only v2 (KCS_KC868_A32_V2.2.13.zip) of KCS firmware for this device , maybe there is some update with fixes for my above issues ?

1. this export function will update in future, but will based on KCS v3.
2. i think you can config it by esphome yaml.
3. "jogging" function have replaced by IFTTT function. you can config it by IFTTT.

Do you have some more precise roadmap, when we can expect KVS v3 ported to these "older" devices like A32 ?
2. i think you can config it by esphome yaml.
OK, I'll check that , I think I saw somewhere yaml files with such config, need to verify.
3. "jogging" function have replaced by IFTTT function. you can config it by IFTTT.
yes, I understand, and I appreciate this - IFTTT is in theory more complex and more flexible option.
However I couldn't configure everything what I described above. This include run motor only when button is pressed AND long/double click functionality at same time. Maybe Im doing something wrong ? Please help me understand.

1. KCS v3 only use for A32Pro, not for A32.
2. i think you can config by ESPHome yaml file, that's flexible, so the long/double click and "jogging" all can do by ESPHome.
