Hi guys,

I received my M30 board yesterday and installation was straightforward.

Now I have a problem that I can't explain. The energy consumption of all sensors is always 0.00 kWh, although voltage, current and power are available.

I´m using you YAML template for ESP Home and my goal is to integrate the energy consumption into the energy dashboard of Home Assistant.

I hope you can help me to solve this issue

Hi,

yesterday I received my M30 board and the installation was straight forward.

Now I have a problem that I can't explain. All 30 current clamp sensors do not measure the energy constumtion (kwh). Voltage, current and power are shown without any issue, but the energy sensors are always 0.00 kWh.

I´m using your yaml template for ESP Home and my goal is to integrate the sensors into the energy dashboard of Home Assistant.

I hope you can help me to solve this issue.

Hi,

I have an A16 board and I will like to add 2 x HC-SR04 devices to it.

I understand how to configure the pins in ESPHome so all is good on that side.

My question is more the electrical part - the HC-SR04 units require 5v each.

On the A16 schematics I cannot see anywhere where that outputs 5v.

I see in another thread (https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread...ht=HC-SR04) that the  433MHz receiver data pin on PCB produces 5v - is that the middle PIN that produces 5V?
And will I be able to power 2 or more (4?) x  HC-SR04 units from it?

Thanks.

Good morning, I am programming your KC868-A8S V1.2 board that I purchased for my uses, I can receive SMS and notification calls, but I can't control the relays with SMS and calls. I did the programming through the IFTTT screen and wrote the relative SMS on the network SMS control screen, but it doesn't work. Same thing with the calls. I also tried through the Arduino IDE 2.3.3 sketch with the sms-relay.ino file, but despite loading the required libraries, when I upload and compile it makes an infinite number of errors. For me it is very important to be able to use the SMS commands to control the relays. I attach some screenshots. I await your feedback. Thanks

Hello,

What about a New KC868-A32 Arduino ESP32 32 Channel GPIO Module (with MOSFETs - without RELAYs like the existing model) ?
This will be more suitable for a family home which has around 32 switches and 32 lights.

Note: The number of digital inputs and digital outputs of the existing KC868-A16 model is insufficient for this type of house.

Thanks !

I am a student at BUT Brno, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, in the Czech Republic, and I am interested in IoT. At work, we often handle electrical installations and consulting projects, and I would like to suggest that we start implementing Smart Home systems. We have experience with Home Assistant, having built a few homes with it.
I believe that by learning with your system and implementing it in Home Assistant, we could integrate your products more frequently. To demonstrate this potential, I would like to design a smaller smart switchboard at home to showcase to the company. I think this fits with Situation B – starting a project.
If possible, I would be interested in the KC868-A4.
Thank you for considering my request.

I am experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with my KinCony controller when it's operating in Cloud mode (using the KinCony Smart Home app). It connects initially, but after a few minutes, the connection drops, and I am unable to control the devices remotely. My home network is stable, and I have tested other cloud-connected devices without issues. Could this be related to specific firewall settings or is there any recommended troubleshooting procedure for improving the cloud connection reliability on both the controller and the app side? Also, are there any known server-side issues with KinCony's cloud infrastructure?

Hi, my A64 mosfet with esphome has a problem. Every active output turn off exactly after 15min.
Installation was configured under home assistant but for test HA server was not installed

Hi, I’m working on a project using the KC868-A16 to drive a relay board, and I really appreciate the KCS firmware available for this device. However, I have a concern: it seems that every output change is saved to NVS storage, which could be an issue. I’ll be frequently changing the output state of the MOSFETs, and I’m worried about potentially wearing out the storage. There might be some balancing implemented but none the less having the option to not persist to NVS would be great.

To clarify, I don’t need the output or input states to persist in NVS; storing them in SRAM would be preferable. Since the KCS firmware source code isn’t publicly available, I can’t modify this behavior myself unless I write my own firmware (something I’m considering).


Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
