ESPHome Yaml file sample

	I am trying to setup my KC868-AG to receive both IR and RF. ( and later, send IR and RF). I can get it working with one or the other , but not both. I believe I am missing something in the yaml file. Would you have a sample yaml file that can do that ? Thanks

Switch Terminal Board Failure??

Posted by: j_griffin100@yahoo.com - 10-03-2022, 08:57 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Greetings from USA--- I have KC868-H32B Controller with Switch Terminal Board v.2.1. Controlling 13 outdoor lights, not using remainder relays currently. Yesterday 2 October, system stopped being responsive to either inputs from app on phone, from remote control, and from push buttons. Lights that were on before failure remain on, lights which are off can not be turned on.

I have tried power on/off and I think it is possible the switch terminal board failed since I tested by first removing all loads and also tried to toggle relay by making contact on switch terminal board common + relay and nothing happens. I have not been able to ever do a firmware update since I do not have Serial to USB cable, but I wonder if it is unrelated to firmware. Does anyone have similar experience? Anyone ever have Switch Terminal Board fail?[url=https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2320&action=lastpost][/url]

Thank you for your help!

Problem with wall switch and HA automation

Posted by: Dober - 09-28-2022, 03:41 PM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (8)

Hello Guys,

I have KC868 Server connected to HA by mqtt, i can read the entities and works well, in the relay board i connect 5 different lights also i add a wall switch which i connected to relay board and make an automation in HA to read the state of lights.
To connect relay and HA i manually add code to configuration yaml file.

My problem is that i have errors since i add switch code to yaml file. what im doing wrong??
Keep in mind that the automation works but when i press the button it has a delay 3 sec until light on

this is log details

Error parsing value: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘sw12’ (value: {“relay1”:{“on”:1},“relay2”:{“on”:1},“relay3”:{“on”:1},“relay4”:{“on”:1},“relay5”:{“on”:0},“relay6”:{“on”:0},“relay7”:{“on”:0},“relay8”:{“on”:0},“relay9”:{“on”:0},“relay10”:{“on”:0},“relay11”:{“on”:0},“relay12”:{“on”:0},“relay13”:{“on”:0},“relay14”:{“on”:0},“relay15”:{“on”:0},“relay16”:{“on”:0},“input1”:{“on”:0},“input2”:{“on”:0},“input3”:{“on”:0},“input4”:{“on”:0},“input5”:{“on”:0},“input6”:{“on”:0},“input7”:{“on”:0},“input8”:{“on”:0},“analog1”:{“value”:0},“analog2”:{“value”:0},“analog3”:{“value”:1},“analog4”:{“value”:1}}, template: {{ value_json.sw12.on }})

[Arduino IDE demo source code for KC868-E16S]-09 Work with Apple Homekit

Posted by: admin - 09-28-2022, 02:23 AM - Forum: KC868-E16S/E16P - No Replies

this arduino source code for KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T work with 16 relay and 16 momentary switch buttons via Apple homekit app. you can download the BIN firmware directly without chanage any code. Or you can open arduino source code project to compile. The source code use homespan library, mainly use PCF8574 extend GPIOs work with homespan.



here is firmware BIN file for KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T:

.zip   RealPushButtons.ino.nodemcu-32s-BIN.zip (Size: 623.62 KB / Downloads: 921)
here is arduino source code via homekit homespan library:

.zip   RealPushButtons.zip (Size: 2.49 KB / Downloads: 964)

after you downloaded firmware, how to use:

1. power on of your KC868-E16S/KC868-E16T board , connect with USB cable with your PC.

find out your USB cable COM port.


Set COM port in your arduino IDE "Tool" menu


open "Serial Monitor", actually you can use any serial monitor tool, we use arduino , just to use it's "Serial Monitor"

after you downloaded firmware, first time to use, need type "W" in serial monitor, chose number of wifi SSID, input password.
[Image: attachment.php?aid=1375]




then use your iPhone or iPad to pair KC868-A4.
     [Image: attachment.php?aid=1380]
if you want to eraser all data , re-config homespan, then you can send "E" to serial port.

Nextion display work with KC868-A6

Posted by: admin - 09-27-2022, 05:34 AM - Forum: KC868-A6 - Replies (9)

i have used on board extend serial port. actually use want to use VCC,GND,RXD,TXD for Nextion display.

define RXD:GPIO13 TXD:GPIO12 by ESP32

weld Vcc 5V from LM1117 output pin.

here are some photos:





This just a simplest demo, use Nextion display two buttons, press button-one will send 'a' by serial port, press button-two will send 'b' by serial port.
when KC868-A4 received 'a' will turn ON relay1, when received 'b' will turn OFF relay1.

firstly create two buttons UI by Nextion Editor PC software:

here is firmware BIN file, you can download to KC868-A4 ESP32 directly to use:

here are source code:

Code:
#include "PCF8574.h"

String indata="";

String val="";

// Set i2c address

PCF8574 pcf8574(0x24);

void setup() {

  Serial1.begin(9600,SERIAL_8N1,13,12);

  Serial.begin(9600);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P0, OUTPUT);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P1, OUTPUT);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P2, OUTPUT);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P3, OUTPUT);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P4, OUTPUT);

  pcf8574.pinMode(P5, OUTPUT);

  Serial.print("Init pcf8574...");

  if (pcf8574.begin()){

    Serial.println("OK");

  }else{

    Serial.println("KO");

  }  

  pcf8574.digitalWrite(P0, HIGH);

  pcf8574.digitalWrite(P1, HIGH);

  pcf8574.digitalWrite(P3, HIGH);

  pcf8574.digitalWrite(P4, HIGH);

  pcf8574.digitalWrite(P5, HIGH);

}

void loop() {

  while(Serial1.available()>0)

  {

    indata+=char(Serial1.read());

    delay(2);

    if(Serial1.available()<=0)

     {

        Serial.println(indata);

     }

  }  

  if(indata.length()>0)

  {

     val=indata;   

     if(val=="a")   

       {

         pcf8574.digitalWrite(P0, LOW);

         Serial.println("Relay1-ON OK!");

       }
