Hello everyone,

I am looking to get some answers on how to start planning for a smart home in North America.
Our power supply here is 120V 60hz and we currently have a Siemens Breaker Panel.

According to the Electrical Code a power distribution box needs CSA approval (Canada).

Can I use the Kincony box with 16 channels?

I would like to control lights and a few outlets.
The electrician is pulling new dedicated wires for the lights I would like to control individually.

The standard cables we use here are 14/2 Romex.

Can I install the kincony box in between the breaker box and wiring of the house?

What type of cable do I connect to kincony box, regular 14/2 romex? 

I would like to use the following as well:
Sensors for gas leak
Sensors for water level
Sensors for humidity and temperature
Sensors for motion
Sensors for contact at doors and windows

Do you know where to buy for good price and good quality that would work with kincony system?

Can the sensors be hardwired or are there wireless options?
How many of them can I use? 3x water sensors & 3 gas sensors?

Side question
What is the best camera to use for local recording with Ethernet powered capabilities? 
Maybe used with NAS?

I am also looking for light switches that could work with kincony system. Minimalistic but intelligent functionality like dimming and programmable.


I hope someone can help me walk in the right direction.
Thank you.

Hi, using COL daily to manage the whole house, I am noticing things that are annoying in the long run. every time I connect it starts with F as degrees reading and not C as I would like. with IFTTT when I program the "IF" condition and select the temperature sensor, I cannot put values with commas. for example I would like to put 20.5 ° C but ", 5" it is not possible to insert it. or 20 or 21. I buffered using the conversion to F and entered 69 but I don't think a solution .. thank you!

I would like to know how to write python from the computer and connect it to the device. It seems that it can not connect to IP and port.

Received my H32L and connected to local network. When I select light29 from PC software both light29 and light30 come on. If I select light30 both light29 and light30 come on. All others work as single lights. Are these 2 lights linked somewhere that I am not aware of?

Hi, Is it possible access my IP cameras (eyecloud) in Home Assistant: I have an PTZ camera and an indor IP camera bought withy Kincony.

I tried open in Onvif but in a moment the home assistant request an login and a password and I don´t know the right login and password to use.

Is it OK to mix between AC and DC output controls with single unit of KC868-H32B, for example 16 outputs will be assigned for controlling AC which is a AC downlight while the rest of the output relays will be assigned for supplying let say 12V DC for LED switch indicator.

here is code for App Inventor to control relay output by KC868 smart controller. any model can be used. before import the .aia file, need import TcpClientExtension.aix for App Inventor, this is TCP socket plugin.

Is it possible to use terminal switches as digital inputs?

I was not interested in that they were tied to the relay outputs, I wanted to assign them the outputs in nodered.
thanks

How can I program in Node-Red to turn on a light when a PIR sensor detect somebody? How can I perform what period of the day this action will should be performed.

Is it prossible program KC-868-S/G in node-red to use it in home assistant?
There is a communication protocol?
