How Can I use a sensor such as PIR connected to dry contact input of kc868 server to automate a relay output in Home Assistant

The Konnected ESP32 alarm panel is extremely popular, but is hard to obtain. I would love to see a Kincony equivalent!

- 20+ digital inputs for door contacts, motions sensors, etc. (the original does not have enough)
- Dedicated 12V wet contacts for powering active 12V sensors.
- Dedicated wet contact 12V alarm connection.
- Power over Ethernet.
- Dedicated piezo buzzer or connection.

KinCony A32 Pro ESP32 relay board based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip, it have 32 manual control switch buttons can turn ON/OFF relay even if system is broken. Support 32 channel relay output and 2 channel dc 0-10v dimmer output, 2 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 4 channel analog input ports. It support 4G module (SIM7600 series) for SMS, voice call, GPRS communication for Tuya mobile application. SIM7600 module also support GPS, just need connect IPEX extender GPS antena. Download KCS firmware , use SMS or call to turn ON/OFF relay will be very easy for home automation DIY. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and 4G connection state and Tuya connection state. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply arduino demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware (Note: tasmota support INPUT + OUTPUT total 32 channel) for smart home automation DIY.

Hi, 
I have been looking for a suitable iot solution for my home to control all the lights while im away but also work with hard wired switches as the wifi might fail in my location. I have a large home that will probably require 3-4 boards for all the lights to be controlled. This will all be done with these boards and esp-home. This seems like the perfect solution for me as it is the biggest board i have found but before ordering i have some questions. 

1. On the Youtube video it says the relays are 270VAC 10Amp but on the website it says 220VAC. 220VAC would not work so i would like to check that its 270VAC.

2. As this board already has a ethernet connection is it possible to power the board with POE (power over ethernet) ?

3. As this board is large and has alot of relays is it possible to easily swap a damaged/faulty relay so a whole board replacement is not necessary?

4. Is it reliable as i want this as a long term solution for my home. The relays will be used very frequently as i will use it for my lights and it is quite possible that all the relays will be on at one time. Is it fine for all the relays to be on at the same time for a long time?

5. As my house is getting built i will specifically wire the switches and lights for use with this board but it will be installed by professionals. Are there any certifications or qualifications for the board to make sure the professionals will approve of the project? Eu specific?

6. If a board dose fail or is dead on arrival dose it have any warranty period or free replacement?

7. Is the board available with just the case and the board as the cables in the kit are not needed?

8. Is there a maximum distance between the board and the switches/lights? 

9. Is it possible to get a small trial board with fewer relays to asses quality of the product and integration?

10. Anyone else who has this board, do you recommend it and if not do you have any good alternatives?

Thanks so much for further discussion please send me a message directly or comment below.
Sincerely: Apo

Hola quisiera saber que tipo de esp32 lleva, para poder seleccionarlo en el ide de Arduino.
 y El código necesario para ESPHOME.

Hi there 

I have an issues with the KC868-Server unit. The unit is set to MQTT work mode, but sometimes after a power cut the controller reverts back to TCP mode. How can I set it to always start in MQTT mode?
