Posted by: admin - 07-25-2026, 06:05 AM - Forum: Pi5M16 - No Replies

1. make home assistant OS SD card or SSD disk for KinCony Pi5M16.

download https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

2. enable i2c for home assistant.

Add files to enable I2C

In the root of the hassos-boot partition, add a new folder called CONFIG.
In the CONFIG folder, add another new folder called modules.
Inside the modules folder add a text file called rpi-i2c.conf with the following content:
i2c-dev

In the root of the hassos-boot partition, edit the file called config.txt at last add two lines to it:
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=i2c1-pi5,pins_2_3

Note: if you using Windows OS computer, you can use "DiskGenius.exe" free software to modify the files. Because Linux format file not visable on windows OS.

cannot see KC868-A6 in router client list after setting STA mode

Posted by: Armsp0 - 07-24-2026, 08:00 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (7)

I have successfully flashed KCS_KC868_A6_V2.1.9.bin to my KC868-A6-V1.3 board and can access the web server in STA mode. Login is OK.

In the Network tab I set STA mode and enter 2.4Ghz wifi SSID and password (details checked correct). after reboot I do not see the KC868 has joined my WiFi network.

I have attached the serial logger output of boot process for review. Is this the correct bin for my board?
