Hi. I have just got my head around how the controller and Alexa module work.  Its amazing!!  I have a 32 relay B type controller hard wired using an ethernet lead, with Alexa module.

I have a problem with light switching in my house.  All the lights are traditional hard wired 2 way switches every light has a hall effect sensor fitted to give an open or closed circuit signal (the house was wired a few years ago for alexa control using relays but this was before the clever wall switches were available!!).  I want to use this signal and connect it to the inputs on the controller so the controller knows that a light is on when it has been operated from one of the wall mounted switch regardless of the state of the relay.  How do i do this using the smart controller software??

I have very very little experience with computers and even less with code!!  Please be gentle with me and treat me like im a complete idiot!!!!

Thanks in advance

Darren

I have 2 more questions:
1. I will program the KCL868-COL to turn On and Off all the relays on KCL868-H32B in desired timings. And then I export all that data to KCL868-COL? And then I can disconnect it from my PC and it will run with his logical program inside, or it must be connected to the PC all time to read the logical settings?
Do you understand me? I don't know it has its own memory like Aurdino or it reeds the data from PC memory while running.
2. If relay 3 or 4, or 5 on KCL868-H32B has logical program to turn On in 07Am and turn Off in 10Pm, will it turn On when I press the manual On/Off switch in 11Pm?
Thank you,
regards

Bonjour
J'ai plusieurs contrôleurs mais ils ne peuvent pas interagir entre eux en par le contrôleur logique
un conseil;merci .

Dears I bought PLC Kincony with extension keyboard and 32 channel expansion. My problem is connect switches from rooms to PLC.

I show my cabinet

Cabinet
Wall cable

and I prepare drawings - how I connect.

But not working correctly. For example I short 2 wires from 1st room - connected to K1 i K1com  couldn't turn on/off  1st relay,and after connect wires to extension ports the Keyboard not switches correctly relays too.

How it should be connected? 

Did I need a special wall switches for that ?


I bought my parts on january 2020 , now I see the different module . i'm afraid to buy now because I'm not sure that I connect existing board.



Please help for me. Thank You.

update: when power on of KC868-COL, autoreport analog and temperature value at least one time.

Hello...

At first I was about to purchase the 32-channel, but then after some digging.. I need some advise to clear things up.

I'm new at this and I am building an automation system that is to be control with home kit and I am ready to try the KC868. I gonna control about 24 nos of circuit using an AC contactor. The requirement is that I need a manual switch (start/stop) for the contactor that can interrupt the circuit anytime it need to be. I first thought H32B should do the job, but when required to make a manual override switch, I need 2 relays for 1 circuit to make it possible (I couldn't figure out any other design other than this solution). But also I found that I need access the NC port on one of the relay - thus the choice is KC868-H16B, and it seems it requires 3 of them to control all the 24 circuits.

My question is :
1. I couldn't find much info, but I read we can use multiple KC868 at the same time. So, how does it works? Do they communicate with each other via the RS232 port and will they all be using single IP or will the KC868 IP be independent from each other?
 
2. If they uses different IP, can the home assistant server control 3 KC868 at the same time? Or I need to setup 3 servers?
 
3. I also need at least 24 DI inputs (3 x 8 input on H16B should be enough) so that I can know the status on the main circuit if it's on or off, not the status of the onboard relay because it will actually tell me the status of the control circuit, physically. Do you think it should be sufficient?

Attach are my setup on trying to make this work.. :-) I need to show this PoC works first before I an ready to deploy.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Admin.

I have purchased this Humidity and Temperature Sensor with 4 wires (Red, Black, Yellow and White). 
I am using the COL and i need to know where do i have to connect these 4 wires to?

Now writing the program code
       

Hi,

I have installed COL + H32L module to automate home.
however i have problems programming COL, as i cannot get the output on relay 30 when digital input 2 is active.


I see input 2 active, but out 30 never works.

Dear Admin.

How do I change the color (Green, Amber and Red) on the measuring bar as a picture? 
For example, if the temperature is between 30C to 35C it's green and when the temperature is between 36C to 40C is Amber and 41C onwards is Red.

I can't find what the code is and where to place it. 
Could you please show some examples?

Thank you
Subas
