Nice! How to know the minimum percentage I can use for turn on a lamp? Some led strips works from %5 on.. , other 220v minimum brightnes start at %25..

What's the exact specification/aspect of the lamp that will determine that?

***admin*** · 08-31-2024, 12:44 AM

you can set the "Threshold" in KC868-D16 webpage. for example, some lamp start at 25%, so you can set the "Threshold" =25
[Image: config-setting-Threshold_Setting.png]

[Image: config-setting-Threshold_Setting.png]

Threshold setting: Adjustment startup percent options for every channel output. sometimes LED SSR driver begin work with 10-20% brightness. Different driver have different threshold.

here is online guide of KC868-D16, it have showed: https://www.kincony.com/how-to-use-kc868...oller.html

selsiusx · 07-28-2025, 07:17 PM

Can we also control other devices with RS485. I have a RS485 device that i want to control with home assistant. can I do it with mqtt? or with upd/tcp ? is there a guide somewhere?

selsiusx · 07-28-2025, 07:31 PM

Also can we have the input states in home asssistant too, seperae from their action .. like the 686-a8 with esphome. That way we can create our own logic instead of input 1-> dimmer 1 etc... otherwise i have no use for this controller.

***admin*** · 07-28-2025, 11:17 PM

KC868-D16 digital input port control dimmer with output port directly, it fixed by firmware. you just need integrate D16 to home assistant by MQTT. But you can't integrate digital input as a binary sensor to home assistant. because of it work with output locally in CPU.

Valter · 01-20-2026, 08:17 PM

Hello,

I try this several times, and I cannot get it to work using mqtt.
My configuration of the 686-D16 is:
Screenshot - 4e3cb2896ab7d731f0c4e621571a5b67 - Gyazo

The Log of mosquitto is:
2026-01-20 19:52:30: New connection from 172.30.32.2:35424 on port 1883.

do your D16 and your home assistant server in local network?
post your config yaml at here.

Valter · 01-20-2026, 09:19 PM

Thanks for your reply.
The Server is in 192.168.2.2/24 and D16 is 192.168.2.56/24
The config.yaml is:
