Hello,
I'm using the Kincony F-24 controller and trying to get the built-in 433MHz receiver working under ESPHome.
I get the following error:

1. Is the 433MHz receiver really connected to native GPIO40 of the ESP32?
   
2. Is this GPIO compatible with the RMT hardware required by remote_receiver in ESPHome?
   
3. Could the RF receiver be connected via an I²C expander (like PCF8574), or is it mapped internally in another way?
   
   

I would like to request a KC868-A4 Free Sample to start a new project (B) for a smart home product for grow automation of hydroponic lettuce. System will be connected to LLM
Thank you.

Hi, I have an old H32B,
H32B200526353

I once flashed it with too big a firmware, and it stopped working for me, you said that I need ch341a to flash it now.
Please tell me the order of actions
I have a problem with it, I need to revive it

bootloader tool not work
i have MiniPro TL866

dear:  l have a device ATT some photos. can you tell me what's firmware for it?

PLS

I'm sharing a project I developed using ESP-IDF with the KC868-A32M and KC868-HAv2 boards, incorporating Modbus communication. 

While I won't be continuing active development on this particular project, I wanted to open-source my work to help others who might be embarking on a similar journey.

Developing with these boards and Modbus can present unique challenges, and my aim here is to provide a starting point and demonstrate how I approached the integration using ESP-IDF. 

My hope is that this project will serve as a valuable reference and save you some time and effort in your own development. Feel free to explore the code, adapt it to your needs, and build upon it

Hello,

i would like to have two A16s communicate with uart via the RS485 in the ESPHome.
The two RS485 are cross-connected A=>B and B=>A.

One A16 is the transmitter and the other is the receiver.

When the binary sensor is triggered, a message should be sent to the receiver, which should then trigger an action.

So far the log says that the transmitter is transmitting, but according to the log nothing arrives at the receiver.

Transmitter, i have shortened the yaml to the essential parts:

Hello admin
I am using a B16 smart relay controller with your KCS v3 firmware. I am integrating it with Home Assistant to control a Somfy WT roller shutter.
For this application, I need to send an MQTT command to activate a relay for a specific duration (e.g., "turn on output1 for 3 seconds, then turn it off automatically").
I've reviewed the KCS v3 MQTT protocol document (specifically, section 1 about setting ON/OFF of a digital output channel). It shows how to turn relays ON or OFF:

KinCony KC868-A8v3 ESP32-S3 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. It have 8 channel digital input and 8 channel relay output, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs. One SD card using SPI bus. KinCony KC868-A8v3 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address. A8v3 have RS485 port. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32S3 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. A8v3 use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support Apple HomeKit.

Good day
Some time ago I bought KC868 A32 and today I tried to connect to the board for the second time. I updated the driver Regarding CH341. On one of the laptops I have W11 and on the other W10/
1. I am trying to scan AP via wifi and it is not on two laptops and a phone (there is no such network - kv868)
2. I am doing a scan (IP scanner) through the router and directly connected to the laptop socket - no effect.
3. I am trying to scan if UPD Scan will show the board but it does not see it
Please help.
