Hi,

Using ESPHOME in Home Assistant.

I have 2 of these float sensor switches. How should I be wiring them up to the board and coding in ESPHome to get an "open/closed"? I thought that they would be an analog device but am not getting any readings.

Or am I using the wrong input?

Hi, I would like to as for help connecting a SCT013 10A CT clamp to one of the analog inputs.

Thank you for help

Application Condition: B

Hello, My Name is Ivonie Abejo and I am from Philippines, I am a start up company which provides a home security and home automation services in our country. I would like to request a product sample for me to be able to have a on knowledge of the product and offer it to our clients. I would like to have a KC868 product since it is perhaps the best products that i saw from your cahnnel.

Thank you and waiting for your prompt response.

the firmware support use by Tuya app, INPUT trigger OUTPUT and RF remote control 1-8 relay and ALL ON and ALL OFF. (need learn RF signal for every relay)

Hi !

I think about buying the KC868-A8 module for controlling my heating system by external signals.

The KC868-A8 board shall be connected via ethernet to my home assistant device which will control the board (switching relais to control the temperature, set heating or cooling mode and so on).

This is clear so far and I think this can be done relatively easily.

What is not clear for me at the moment:

How does the KC868-A8 board react ....

... if home assistant freezes or the ethernet connection is gone ?

...  if there is a power loss and power comes back ?

Does it go always to the state "all relays" off -> which would mean a safe state in my case ?

Is there a way to supervise the board or turn off all relais in case of any failure coming from home assistant ?

Is there a way to control the proper functioning of the board itself respectively the relais ?

With the 8 relais I only want to switch "signals" no "load" -> Are this relais suitable for this purpose ?

For how many switching cycles are the relais designed ?


Thank you for your feedback.

How does KC868-E16T learn wireless signals see here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3169

Download the following program, you can turn on and turn off the relays by a wireless remoter

click "dump.bat" to read ESP32 board. it will save file as "firmware.bin".
click "flash.bat" to write any other new ESP32 board by "firmware.bin".
