Hi,

I recently purchased the mini version and think it's a fantastic idea and product. Do you have any plans to upgrade this series to the new CM5 RPi module?

Thanks

  B16M Outputs & HomeAssistant Firmware
Posted by: akat - 03-23-2025, 03:06 AM - Forum: Getting Started with ESPHome and Home Assistant - Replies (1)

Hi all,
I've recently deployed a Kincony B16M and flashed it with the stock kincony-b16m.yaml config. 

I’m using the digital outputs to control HF41F relays mounted on 41F-1Z-C2-1 boards.
Each relay coil is connected with a 1N4007 flyback diode across A1 and A2. Wiring is as follows:

  • +12V DC to A1
  • 1N4007 across A1 and A2 (cathode on A1)
  • A2 wired to DO1
  • DC port connected to -12V (to complete the circuit)

The issue:
When the B16M boots, DO1 immediately energizes the relay, even though in the WebUI the output appears OFF. Toggling DO1 via the WebUI has no effect on the relay—it remains stuck on. I’ve tried both

inverted: true

inverted: false in the YAML under  b16m-output01, but neither changes the behavior.

Here's the relevant YAML snippet:

Code:
switch:
  - platform: gpio
    name: "b16m-output01"
    pin:
      pcf8574: pcf8574_hub_out_1
      number: 0
      mode: OUTPUT
      inverted: true
At this point I’m trying to determine whether I’m dealing with a hardware issue or if there’s a nuance with the output logic I’ve missed. Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

  Dummy question: non-zero voltage between off OUTPUT pin and GND?
Posted by: ocramius - 03-23-2025, 01:25 AM - Forum: T16M - Replies (8)

I'm currently toying around with the T16M before putting it into a wall and calling my project "working".

While experimenting, I started messing around with measurements ( hence my questions on https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7423 ).

I've wired my board similar to what I've found in these posts:

https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7211
* https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2221 (this schematic is really clear, by the way, thank you!)

While testing out the board, I noticed that the voltage between `V-` and a disabled `V+` pin (see picture below) is **non-zero** (measures 2.385V).

I'm wondering if something is wrong with the board, or if the ESPHome settings don't completely disable the pin?
It may also be a misunderstanding of mine in how MOSFET-based switching works, so feel free to also tell me that my use-case is wrong Big Grin

  Transmit calculated ADC values via MQTT instead of raw values
Posted by: korl - 03-22-2025, 06:26 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (2)

Hello everyone,

I have an A6 and an A16.
On the A6, an analog sensor (1-5V) is connected to ADC1. The sensor measures the air pressure. Via gear symbol, I defined a calculation, so I don't see the raw value, but the reading in bar:
[Image: 2025-03-22-07-19-03-Monitor-und-1-weiter...t-Edge.png]

Via MQTT, only the RAW value is transmitted (see left side of the picture). Is it possible to transmit the calculated value (7.29) and unit (bar), so that a possible home assistant auto discovery also shows the correct unit?

  Disable checkbox for the IFTTT schedule's time setting
Posted by: Yosemite - 03-22-2025, 04:52 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (4)

Could the next KCS 868 firmware revision include a disable/enable checkbox for the IFTTT schedule's time setting? This would greatly benefit applications that need to run continuously throughout the day, like temperature, pressure, or level control, with varying daily thresholds.


Hardware : KC868 A16
Software  : KCS 868 V2.2.12

  Cross units communication
Posted by: eladn - 03-21-2025, 07:13 PM - Forum: T16M - Replies (1)

Hello

Assuming I have several units of T16M and/or B16M connected via Ethernet to the same net. Is it possible to configure them to operate together? For example, can I define a digital input of one unit to control output ports of another unit (of the same model type)? Which protocols / SW approaches allow such cooperative operation and which aren't?

Thanks, 
Elad

  T16M vs B16M
Posted by: eladn - 03-21-2025, 07:07 PM - Forum: T16M - Replies (3)

Hello. 
Except for the dimensions, what are the differences between the two in terms of features and abilities? Are there SW features missing in the tiny version? Additionally, what are the HW differences?

Thanks, 
Elad
