Hello sir,

Please I have purchased a Kincony Server 16 (Rasberry Pi4 IoT gateway) and set it up with Home Assistant. I want to connect an energy meter via the RS485 modbus serial port of the Kincony Server 16 so that I can monitor the meter values on my Home Assistant Dashboard. How do I go about this? I have checked your YouTube website and the only video concerning an energy meter was setup with ESPHome but this server does not have an ESP device so I want to be able to do this without ESP.

Is it possible to use A16's Radio receiver and transmitter with Home Assistant and running ESPHome firmware?

The GPIO pinout at https://devices.esphome.io/devices/KinCony-KC868-A16 lists 433Mhz modules, but the YAML file doesn't include them.
Any hints?

im trying to add more options to home assistant. for now it only knows 1 press action but i want it to have: double press, maybe triple and defently long press anyone have any ideas?

Hi everybody. I have a problem: I need to configure the KS868-E16st board so that the relays on it turn on according to the get request. I tried to use the code from this appeal: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1927 But without result.
When compiling the code, the following error pops up:

invalid conversion from 'int' to 'eth_phy_type_t' [-fpermissive]

Maybe the problem is with the wrong board in the Arduino IDE?

Versions of my apps:
Arduino 1.8.19
Ethernet 1.1.2

I hope on your help!
Thanks

Hello KinCony Team.  My name is José. I live in Brazil.  I am a Computer Engineering and Data Science student.  If possible, I would like to obtain a KC868-A16 for educational purposes.  I am immensely grateful for your attention and willingness to contribute to the development of projects.  Kind regards, José.

IFTTT is set up to give my output port 1 an ON state, and when I press a momentary switch to input 1, output 1 turns OFF for ten (10S) seconds before turning back on. Using a 433MHz remote controller or my momentary switch, this function operates well. However, I am unable to access these input buttons through my Tuya mobile application when using it. Additionally, pressing output button 1 changes the state to ON/OFF, but it doesn't do it automatically (switching from On - OFF to ON after 10 seconds). How am I going to accomplish this? Furthermore, how can I use my hand to input data into the Tuya mobile application?

2)  Also, kindly advise me on how to operate the KC868-A16 PCB using PC and mobile KBox software. Please outline the actions we must take to resolve it.

Hi,

I am working on home automation and want to share real automation and customisations that can be done beyond just regular sensors.
I have quite a number of components in my system, but none of them are programmable.

For this reason I would like to get KC101 to be able to write an article about advanced IoT at home.
I have technical blog where I post different articles - https://alexey-anufriev.com/.
And KC101 I need for a new article I am working on about home automations.

Would appreciate if I can get a sample for my project.

Thnx in advance!

Hardware setup: Kincony MiniServer running homeassistant connected to kincony A6 board (slave) via RS485.

Created a Modbus-switch in the Mini Server yaml configuration pointing to relay 1 onto the A6 board.

Problem: when I switch on or off the modbus switch at home assistant sometimes the relay goes on or off immediately, sometimes after some seconds (<10 more or less). The dashboard at home assistant update the situation after some seconds (<10 more or less), not immediately.
Sometimes the relay is on but the dashboard show it off, and sometimes viceversa.

The more strange situation happen if I change the master of the modbus. I tried to use another A6 board as master and in this case all it's running ok and there are no delay. It's all immediate.

I made a video for better explain this. I don't want to abuse of this forum, so could I post the video here ?

In the mean time I attach my yaml files.

Hello Kincony,

I have been watching for some time your channel and really love what you did with the distribution box.

I would like your opinion on what's the best approach regarding automation for the following setup:

1 kitchen circuit for 32 amps 
11 outlets (16 amp circuit)
16 lightbulbs (10 amp circuits)
12 light switches
4 motion sensors
4 temperature sensors

I was looking at this distribution box - https://shop.kincony.com/products/16ch-r...t-node-red but i'm not entirely sure if it covers all my needs
Im planning to use this with home assistant and use alexa for voice command, and in the future i might install 5 automatic window blinds

Best regards
