Request for a free sample

Posted by: Radoslaw - 12-04-2024, 12:48 PM - Forum: Apply for free sample product - No Replies

	Hello @ administrators and users, I am an engineering student specializing in reducing energy consumption costs - electrical and thermal. I would like to learn about Kincona products for further development in the field of study (A). Can I apply for a sample of KC868-A4?

Speaker Not Working

Posted by: Juanma - 12-04-2024, 08:39 AM - Forum: KinCony AS - Replies (7)

Hello guys, I’ve spent a week trying to solve the following problem: the speaker doesn’t work in any way. I’ve tried many methods to get it working, such as reinstalling the software, reinstalling Home Assistant, and reinstalling everything from scratch. The voice activation command “Hey Jarvis” works, but the response is not heard through the speaker. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if the speaker is simply faulty. I’m attaching screenshots and a video showing how I have everything set up. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Let me know if you need more information or anything else.

3-24V into Digital Input

Posted by: johnsmith8439 - 12-04-2024, 07:52 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (4)

	Hello, Does the digital input work with sensors that send 3-24V as output? No electricity = 0, electricity = 1? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007908525266.html Something like that. Thank you.

step4: replace all ID by your own board, you can check ID from KCS "index" webpage.

step5: save the yaml file by click "save" button. Then ready to restart of home assistant.

step6: go to "setting" -- "system" webpage, restart your home assistant.

step7: Now you can found new entities in "Setting" -- “Device & services" -- "Entities" webpage. all have listed, you just add to home assistant dashboard is OK.

RS_485

Posted by: ka.mobo - 12-03-2024, 01:19 PM - Forum: Development - Replies (3)

Hello
i have KC868-A6 Controller I want To Connect it as Modbus RS-485 A-B wires, Between (Sensor Flow ) & controller to monitor data on Arduino Ide using serial monitor . How To Do That ?
Sensor Flow device Address register map is :

Code:
Register Address Register Type Description Access

40001 (0) Holding Register (4x) Flow Rate Read-only

40002 (1) Holding Register (4x) Temperature Read-only

40003 (2) Holding Register (4x) Pressure Read-only

40010 (9) Holding Register (4x) Flow Totalizer Reset Write-only

40020 (19) Holding Register (4x) Device ID Read/write

40050 (49) Holding Register (4x) Alarm Status Read-only

This table represents:

• Flow Rate (40001): A flow sensor reading available in this register for monitoring.

• Temperature (40002): Temperature sensor data available for monitoring.

• Flow Totalizer Reset (40010): This register allows you to reset the totalizer (write-only).

• Alarm Status (40050): Alarm indications and codes can be read from this register.

Access Types:

• Read-only: You can only retrieve data.

• Write-only: You can only send data (like resetting a value).

• Read/Write: Both reading and writing are allowed.

Modbus Function Codes for Register Access:

• 01 – Read Coils (for 0x addresses)

• 02 – Read Discrete Inputs (for 1x addresses)

• 03 – Read Holding Registers (for 4x addresses)

• 04 – Read Input Registers (for 3x addresses)

• 05 – Write Single Coil

• 06 – Write Single Holding Register

• 16 – Write Multiple Registers

Can any one Help me please ?

KC868-server automations

Posted by: Mandlap - 12-03-2024, 12:36 PM - Forum: KC868-Server Raspberry Pi4 local server - Replies (6)

Hello, I have updated my HA OS to 13.2. I'm able to control the binary.inputs and switch.outputs.
All the automations i have created have disappeared in my Home Assistant.
Automation and scenes have been separated, now there is automations and scenes separately.
I tried to create new automations on KC868-Server, but it doesn't allow recognise my binary.inputs and switch.outputs when trying to create automations.

2 questions motors & touch

Posted by: llamich - 12-03-2024, 05:25 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (7)

	I need help to control a 12V DC 5A motor (2 wires) to make it rotate in both directions. Is this possible with the KC868-A16? On the other hand, is it possible to use the TTP223 touch sensors as inputs, which have a working voltage of 2.5 to 5.5V?

All outputs turn off every once in a while

Posted by: bartekm - 12-02-2024, 07:15 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (7)

Hello Admin,
I would like to ask you about solving my problem which is that all outputs of my KC868-A16 are turning off every once in a while. It happens randomly in time - sometimes after few minutes and sometimes after dozen of minutes.

Board (rev 1.6) is configured using esphome yaml and connected to HA server. Also I have more than one of your KC868-A16 and it happens for other boards also. I checked installation and it seems it is not problem with power supply because I caught and meter when it happens - network voltage was stable 240V and power supply (good quality one with high amperage) was also stable 11,98V.

I made some more investigations and what I noticed is that it seems it happens only when HA server is turned off (mini pc is turned off).
So summarizing I would to ask you:

1. have you experienced any disturbances in functioning for this or other boards configured using esphome when HA server is not available? if yes then is there anything what I can do? add some yaml configuration?
2. is it possible to force board to remember state of outputs? so even if there will be power outage or such reset than it will bring back output state? (of course light will flicker in this scenario)
3. is there any way to debug board errors in real time somehow in my configuration? I mean some log file which can help identify cause of this problem?

I would be grateful for your help and suggestions,
Bartek

Door Access Control System

Posted by: PeterOo - 12-02-2024, 08:17 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hi,

As per the link below,

https://www.kincony.com/remote-access-co...ution.html

I found out that KC868 relay controllers can be configured to be used as door access control system. But, in that solution, I only found out ( or may be I missed out ) magnetic door locks and exit buttons used with controller.
I wonder if there are any possible solutions to use proximity card reader (with Weigand interface, later, convert to RS485 from Weigand) with the relay controllers. Could you please suggest me a way to integrate door access control system to KINCONY relay controller? Or, if you have any recommended card readers of any kinds or KINCONY's own card reader models, please enlighten me. I would like to integrate door access control system in my smart home project. Thanks in advance.
