Hi Everyone,
did some of you try dimming TRIAC bulbs with KC868-D8?
The problem with TRIAC dimming bulbs is that they do not support dimming with SSRs which is just lowering the volts. TRIAC dimmers control the flow of alternating current by adjusting the waveform. At least how I understood it.

Cheers, Iwan

Hello guys,
I have been using three KC868-A8S boards on home assistant for some months now and I have realized that after sometimes the boards don't post data anymore and upon checking I find out that they complain about authentication 'authentication failure' (shared the photo). Has someone ever experienced this and how can I do away with it completely?

Hi is there any option to disable the startup sequence that the kc868-a8 has. Because if i reboot the system through esphome it automatically switches all the relay outputs but i don't want that.
Does somebody know what the code line is in esphome for that?

Hi,

I just got a KC868-A8 controller and wondering what is the default firmare flashed there? I disocvered the IP address of controller, but it has no WebUI. Do I need to flash Tasmota to work with controller or I can send some commands via http to control it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I know Kincony already helps build Smart Electrical Panels but I am yet to see application to build Energy management systems like the SPAN or Lumin(https://www.luminsmart.com/platform/smar...ical-panel)

The big idea here is to be able to connect your home to two energy sources, the grid and solar/batteries and be able to shed loads automatically when the grid is not available.

Anyone got an idea on how to implement something like this with Kincony ?

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace an existing home automation system and the KC868 products look great. I already tested a KC868-H32B and I'm convinced.

However I am lost between the different products. What are the differences between H32B, H32W, H32LW? Is there a comparison table?

Thank you!

I installed the server and configured it with mqtt and it appears on the dashboard. In addition, I connected the kc868-e16. When I turn on one or all of the outpot ports, they automatically turn off after a second. How can I fix this?

Hello!

The KC868-A128 can be integrated with MQTT in Home Assistant?
I'm using this firmware version for  KC868-A128:  v1.0.27.
If yes, what are the steps and the configuration lines in the "configuration.yaml" file in Home Assistant?

Thank you!

Hello

Thank you for your support so far. I was able to see DS18B20 temperature sensor with KCS firmware, but then I loaded ESPhome as I was planning to use 6 sensors in the same wire.
After loading ESPHome I'm not able to see a single sensor anymore ( I have left only one for tests):
