  Temp Sensors
Posted by: silicondt - 11-02-2024, 10:37 PM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (1)

Can anyone tell me if the KC868-AIO supports more than two temp sensors?

From the videos it looks like it has two GPIO ports for temp sensors, but not sure if that means only can use two?
Or can multiple temp sensors be hooked to each port ?

We have a project that needs 4 temp sensors. Would we have to use analog temp sensors if we needed more than 2?

Thanks!

  Need recomendation
Posted by: silicondt - 11-02-2024, 09:57 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (3)

Hello we have a project that will have 25 mag locks.
When you provide 24v the mag lock will engage.
These will lock and unlock wine cabinets.

Each mag lock has two outputs. A door sensor and a mag sensor.
These outputs are dry closes contact.

We will be running 6 conductor wire to each mag lock.

So basically we need 25 relays, and 50 dry contact inputs.

We want to use "home assistant". so the board needs to integrate well with it.

Would the KC868-AIO be the best board for this?

Bonus question - I see I can add temp sensors. Can I only add two? We need 4 total.

Thanks!

  temperature/humidity modbus module
Posted by: mod5 - 11-02-2024, 06:01 AM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (3)

i would like to suggest a module like https://shop.kincony.com/products/rs485-...e-by-sht30
It should be modbus, becouse 1wire couses problems for longer distances
For european clients, we use 60mm round flush-mounted box and that product cant fit  there.
Mabye you can just did some KC868-HAv2 additional functionality?

Hi,

Is this possible to control GPIOS between two boards?
I have A32M and A64 and i want to do something like: input1(Board A) -> output1(Board B)
I want to use esphome (i need it for the project) and i dont want to use HA.
Can i do that?


P.S. 
Great work with your boards !

  A64 error
Posted by: arksop - 10-30-2024, 05:52 PM - Forum: KC868-A64 - Replies (1)

I have implemented a kc-868-a64 and AIO in my home. 

AIO is working perfectly but A64 is making problem.

when i turn relay manually  it show on A64 that is turned on. When i turn it on A64 via KCS its not turning on relays and turn all output lights on A64.

i was trying v2 software and v1. 

the same error.


Can you please help me with this?

  A16 kcs v2.2.4 delay sometime not working
Posted by: stanchiam - 10-30-2024, 04:21 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (1)

Hi,

I had set the output with type delay(30) for all output, sometimes some relay will not turn off after the 3 secs and will stay on.
You can try setup as above, then turn on one by one for all relays, some relay/output will stay on after 3 secs.
If you do it slowly, it is ok, if you turn on the output one by one fast example relay 1-16, some output will stay on

Please help to look into this. Thank you.

Hi

I have the KC868-A16S board and I have it setup up in ESPHome and linked to HA.

I´m having trouble connecting a one-wire ds18b20 temperature probe to the board and get a readout.
