  send pushover notification from input pin change
Posted by: jeremy80 - 11-05-2023, 04:20 PM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (3)

Hello,

I am trying to send pushover notification from KCS firmware input pin change.

In protocol custom we can make HTTP post but what to fill in field Message and URL so it work with pushover API that is documented below

https://pushover.net/api

Does anyone had already a similar integration to send notification on input change ?

  Future M16 ideas
Posted by: Schmick - 11-04-2023, 10:13 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (1)

Great work on the M16v2!  Heart

Some thoughts for a future version. Please don't take as criticism!

Could the device be split in two for installation in a surface mount distribution board? I'm thinking that the clamp inputs and voltage inputs could maybe be connected to a DIN module with same dimensions as standard 3 or 4 pole breaker, then using an interface cable, connect that to another smaller low voltage module housing the ESP32, networking and other components.

If the barrel jacks are removed from the clamps, could probably shrink the connections to 2x 16x2.54mm terminal blocks. By splitting the device in two, all the higher voltage wiring and clamp cables could then be neatly concealed and protected against accidental contact. Going even further, if the ADC was able to be done within that module, could maybe even just have the module expose an I2C interface on the front face allowing for lots of flexibility on the low voltage side in terms of how the data is exported.
