  KC868_A8M HTTP Get requests example
Posted by: MWDH - 02-20-2025, 09:11 AM - Forum: KC868-A8M - Replies (2)

Hello Forum colleagues,

I am trying to set the KC868_A8M up, so it performs HTTP Get requests from an API server.
I want to do it via Ethernet (Not Wifi) in a local server.
According to the LAN example code I can get the ETehrnet connection to work, I am also able to ping the device and get a response.

I am struggling with the HTTP GEt requests though:
HTTP Error code: -1

Is there an example code doing the same thing? Or are there any hints on what I am doing wrong?

Code:
#include <ETH.h>
#include <HTTPClient.h>

#define ETH_ADDR        0
#define ETH_POWER_PIN  -1
#define ETH_MDC_PIN    23
#define ETH_MDIO_PIN   18   
#define ETH_TYPE       ETH_PHY_LAN8720
#define ETH_CLK_MODE   ETH_CLOCK_GPIO17_OUT

IPAddress local_ip(192, 168, 49, 98); // Set static IP address for ESP32
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 49, 1);  // Gateway IP
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);  // Subnet mask
IPAddress dns(192, 168, 1, 1);      // DNS server IP

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();
   
  // Initialize Ethernet interface
  ETH.begin(ETH_ADDR, ETH_POWER_PIN, ETH_MDC_PIN, ETH_MDIO_PIN, ETH_TYPE, ETH_CLK_MODE); //start with ETH
 
  if (ETH.config(local_ip, gateway, subnet, dns, dns) == false) {
    Serial.println("LAN8720 Configuration failed.");
  } else {
    Serial.println("LAN8720 Configuration success.");
  }

  Serial.println("Ethernet Connected");
  Serial.print("IP Address: ");
  Serial.println(ETH.localIP());  // Print ESP32 IP
}

void loop() {
  // Create an HTTPClient object
  HTTPClient http;
 
  // Specify the request URL
  http.begin("http://192.168.99.3:8481/test"); // Replace with your URL
 
  // Make the GET request
  int httpCode = http.GET();
 
  if (httpCode > 0) {  // Check if the request was successful
    String payload = http.getString();  // Get the response payload
    Serial.println("HTTP GET request successful!");
    Serial.println(payload);            // Print the payload
  } else {
    Serial.println("HTTP GET failed!");
    Serial.printf("Error code: %d\n", httpCode);
  }

  http.end();  // Close the connection
 
  delay(5000);  // Wait before making another request
}

Do you have or can suggest any devices for water supply automation with Home Assistant support?

I wonder if these can work

Question KC868, is there some API available for KCS V2 apps on these board
Posted by: magsys - 02-17-2025, 05:42 PM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

Dear all
I am on the way to make alive a small watermill in a little town in the East of France.
To do so I plan to use products like Kincony Kc868 Axx series board plus TUYA automation.

At the moment its begin to work using one KC868-A16 and one KC868-A6 both using Tuya scene cloud programmation 
 
However i would like to improve the genuine software capabilities (ie: TUYA capabilities over WIFI) and add some DIY functions using Modbus registers reading and Zigbee sensor reading at the same time plus some control and commands routines of my own done using ie: Arduino ide.
 
My question is How to link your KCS V2 binary with my own routines?
 
Is there some ways to do so on the same board/software?
Is there some specific documented API that should allow that?
What will be the more convenient way to go further and achieve my goals.
 
Some advice would be much appreciated.
I thank you in advance
 
Yours faithfully
Laurent COLIN

  Several controllers in one area
Posted by: peacemakerv - 02-17-2025, 05:37 PM - Forum: KC868-A6 - Replies (3)

HI, All

I'm making testing 5 controllers at the same time in one room. Developing my own FW for ESP32, as before did and worked OK.
But i have found that if several my KC868-A6 boards (2...5pcs) are online (via single WiFi-router) - there are many transmission errors.
If to switch all off excepting one - no any errors at all ! Fully OK working with a server.

It is strange, i'm sure. 
Is it known subject ? Any ideas why?
I need to use 3-4 pcs in some area of maybe 10 meter radius.

Will G1 be  suported under ESPHOME ?

Do you have information on how to send SMS from Home Assistant over Ethernet ?

  KC868-A16 Tuya
Posted by: damian87ew - 02-16-2025, 03:48 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,
I’m using the KC868-A16 with Tuya enabled, and I was wondering if there’s a way to see sensor data (e.g., DHT22) directly in the Tuya app. Specifically, I’d like to set up automation where, for example, if the DHT22 sensor detects 15°C, it can trigger another device that’s also connected to Tuya.
Has anyone managed to get this working? Is there a way to make the sensor values visible in Tuya and use them in automations?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
