  a16v3 rf433 pins/other free pins for sim800l
Posted by: rhaenx - 05-28-2025, 08:07 AM - Forum: KC868-A16v3 - Replies (1)

hi. I have just buy a16v3. I buy without the rf433 transmitter and receiver. Can I use this pins for other purpose? I want to connect to sim 800l or similar board that can send/receive sms.
the free gpio pin on the board next to esp32 chip i cannot use because i cannot use soldering due to health problem. i have to find a friend or pay someone else to help me solder, before i try this i want to ask if other free pin that do no need to solder i can use for this purpose.
thank you for your time.

  16B mqtt yaml file config how to
Posted by: itzek - 05-24-2025, 09:17 PM - Forum: B16 - Replies (7)

Hello admin,
 I have the B16 ESP32-S3 controller and I want to connect it to Home Assistant using a regular mqtt configuration (not using MQTT (For Home Assistant)). 
This is what I'm trying, but it's not working:
    - name: " output-1 "
      unique_id: output-1
      state_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/state'
      command_topic: ' relay16/DCDA0C8B9B5C/set'
      payload_on:  '{"relay1":{"on":1}}'
      payload_off:  '{"relay1":{"on":0}}'
      value_template: '{{ value_json.relay1.on }}'
      state_on: 1
      state_off: 0

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

  A32 for blinds - KCS firmware question/issues
Posted by: voyo - 05-24-2025, 01:21 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

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 Sad
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 Sad

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 ?

  KC868-A32 and EspEasy firmware
Posted by: voyo - 05-24-2025, 12:36 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (2)

Hello!
Does anyone have experience with EspEasy (www.letscontrolit.com) firmware running on this device ?
I recently bought A32 with intention to use it for my roller blinds, but I have some issues with KCK firmware (will create separate thread for my questions).
Anyway - I managed to upload espeasy firmware, it runs - but WiFi connection is not working. On serial console it prints:

03.872 : (265688) Info  : WIFI : Arduino wifi status: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED
03.885 : (260688) Info  : Webserver: start
05.229 : (260428) Info  : WD  : Uptime 0  ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 260560 WiFiStatus: WL_STOPPED 254 ESPeasy internal wifi status: DISCONNECTED

I tried few firmware files but with no luck. So question is - is this board require some special setting to enable wifi ? Something like set some gpio or something else ?

  Custom protocols limitation
Posted by: gabi_jackass@yahoo.com - 05-23-2025, 11:00 PM - Forum: KC868-A128 - Replies (2)

Hello,

I see that the number of custom protocols is limited at 64. This is not enough for a board with 128 inputs and 128 outputs.

I need at least 4 protocols per digital input (click, double click, hold ...)

Please advice,
Gabi

  KC868-a6-v1.3sp + 0.5V Analog Input
Posted by: boneless - 05-23-2025, 01:22 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (2)

Hello again,

I have the KC868-a6-v1.3sp and a pressure sensor (0..150 psi / 0.5..4.5 V). I noticed my values were being capped at about 40 psi / 1.5 V. 
I verified with my fluke loop calibrator, and indeed have a limit at 1.5 V.

The image below shows the raw value being capped at 1.01.
I tried moving the input to the second, but I received the exact same values (capped).

Below code is used for both test with input 36 and 39.

You have any recommendations

Code:
       
  - platform: adc
    pin:
      number: 39
    unit_of_measurement: 'psi'
    name: 'Water Pressure Sprinkler'
    update_interval: 0.5s
    filters:

      - sliding_window_moving_average:
          window_size: 10
          send_every: 10

Shocked Connection lost / cant find device
Posted by: vaarinvaliliha - 05-22-2025, 10:28 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hi!

I have flashed my KC868-A6 V1 with   v2.2.12.bin file.

I can access the board through 192.168.4.1 and login.

After I change for example mqtt settings and restart I can not access the board anymore. Same thing happens when I add my Wifi-settings and restart. I cannot find the board and seems like it jams after every saved settings and have to reflash.

Any ideas?


I have purchased the board from Aliexpress (Kincony Controller Store).
