Hello,
please help me to configure a 4..20mA sensor

I connected a passive 4-20mA sensor
24VDC power supply (external power source) -> sensor -> current signal from the sensor to A1 KC868-A4
AGND   KC868-A4 -> GND power suppy

configuration in esphome is as in the following link

https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread...8&pid=4140


sensor:
  - platform: adc
    pin: 34
    name: "ADC-IN"
    update_interval: 5s

The sensor configuration in the example above refers to: pin: 34   

following page
https://devices.esphome.io/devices/KinCony-KC868-A4
says
GPIO32 analog input1

what should be the correct configuration of the 4-20mA sensor in the esphome environment ?

I get readings similar to the screen below, when I warm up the temperature sensor the voltage does not change , so this is not a scaling problem just a misreading



when I measure the current flowing between the sensor and the A1 input, its value is 16mA - the temperature range on the sensor is -50..50C - so the value of 17mA corresponds approximately to 25C

binary sensors and binary outputs work correctly under esphome (home assistant)

Where could be the problem , what should I recheck , or maybe change the configuration ?

just got a new kc868-a32, connect to router with ethernet cable, same as my desktop etc. Using power adaptor from the package, 12vdc 2A. But, the connection is not detected by Home Assistance, nor I can see from my router network map etc. Changed ethernet cable as well. Tried resetting the board, and power off/on multiple times, still no lucky.

I am using the ESPHome script in HA, as suggested by KC. Appreciate any help or suggestion. Thanks.

Hi I'm new here and need some help

I'm bought the KC868-A8S board version 1.2 from kincony aliexpress official seller, I'm a crestron/savant and lutron programmer but I'm trying to new prog adventures and found kincony and it's awesome!

I'm create a basic automation in arduino code to my esp32 later with 8 inouts and 8 relays, and my homespan code maybe can fit here, but I can't found a realiton of input ports from esp32 to hardwired outs to adapt my software

If you have a homespan working software to this board I'll aprecciate that!!

thank you in advance!

I have a problem with a burning part as in the picture. How can I get a new spare part as shown in the attachment?

Hi,

Its possible to read negative power/current values? It could be great for use in solar plants.

Thanks

hello,

Could you create a simple tutorial video on how to communicate between a PLC and KC868-Server Raspberry Pi4 via Ethernet? For example, sending data like temperature (Analog) from Raspberry Pi to Mitsubishi PLC, and controlling PLC inputs and outputs through Raspberry Pi.

Thank you for you help.

Hello Kincony, am Nii, a security systems and IT technician who enjoy IoT and wants start a project of it.
I want to get a free sample in order to understand and improve myself of what I have learnt from the videos on Kincony YouTube channel.
As an IT technician, I want to also educate and install for clients so they can enjoy IoT.
Thank you.

The short version - RF works fine, but IR does not work.

Here is my configuration:

Quote:Component remote_receiver took a long time for an operation (0.05 s).
