  Problem uploasing esphome firmware to KC868-A16
Posted by: tolbier - 06-17-2024, 09:14 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello:
I've got two KC868-A16 and now I'm trying to upload the firmware, but it replies me with an error on Erasing:

[Image: 1cWhkAAAidMM10YSGU9ZfCgdmg_iD7c_u=w800-h909-iv1]
It keeps for a Long time and it returns a TimeOut error

Also, I've been trying with the ESP_FLASHER tool with similar result:
[Image: 1z2ES6ctJv1Fz8exKOpQUf_LZ2GobMoCO=w800-h909-iv1]

I tried with both cards and, the result is the same 
Also I've been trying to upload it pushing Reset and Download Buttons, with no different result

I was trying tou upload from a Fedora 39 and also from a MacOS (Silicon M3)

any idea what is going on?

Thank you

  How to get started
Posted by: jarekD - 06-16-2024, 08:14 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (10)

Hi all,
Not sure what am I missing, but spent already 2 hours browsing the internet on how to get connected to the A16 on first power on...
Just received my brand new KC868-A16 and it's my very first experience with Kincony.

The device is now powered up, but I can't neither connect via LAN nor WiFi.
LAN just doesn't get connected to my router, though it has standard 192.168.0.x network. The UDP_SCAN_LIST tool doesn't detect the board (my PC is on Wifi, but on the same network as physically Ethernet-connected A16, it sees other devices on the ethernet).
A16's WiFi AP is not visible either.

I tried resetting the device by holding the "download" button for 10 sec, no luck.

How to get started?

Jarek

Just one update, I managed to get successfully through the firmware update. Flashed KCS_KC868_A16_V2.2.2 and there's no change, still can't see the Wifi access point.

Hello, the inputs on my a8s v2 dont work.

If i short the gnd with any of the input pins nothing happens.
All the relays work fine. Im using I2C address 0x22 for input pcf8574.

Im using the board with esphome.

Code snipet for input

  AIO input 8 stuck on
Posted by: telewizard13 - 06-15-2024, 09:03 PM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (7)

As I reported in an email to "hificat" earlier this week, Input 8 of my brand new AIO board is stuck in the on state. For a day or two, it worked normally, but it is misbehaving again. Not sure what to do.

  KC868-AI - from Alarm panel
Posted by: Bestgear - 06-15-2024, 05:55 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (1)

Hi Guys

I want to connect my KC868-AI to a couple of output expanders on my alarm panel.

The alarm provides a -ve switched output.

I am considering, given that the KC868 will get 12v from the alarm panel (ie common power rails), I can just use the switched negative to the KC868 input, as that will pull it low.

First question - are the inputs "KCOM" black connector tied to the KC868 power supply input ground or are they isolated?

Second question - do you think its probable that I can just connect the alarm panel output to the KC868 input, and leave the "KCOM" black connector empty, and hope/assume the input will float high, and get pulled low to switch the KC868 when the panel pulls it low?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

  Dallas Temp Sensor
Posted by: telewizard13 - 06-14-2024, 08:52 PM - Forum: KC868-AIO - Replies (14)

   
I have been trying to install a Dallas temperature probe on the AIO board and have been unsuccessful. I used an Arduino Uno and a sketch to retrieve the address of the 10 probe(s) I purchased and as I got the address I marked a number on the probes to keep them identified. I tried two different probes, red lead to +3.5V, Black to GND and tried both IO pins 4 & 5 to no avail. I get an error in the logs that I have no idea what to do with.

  KC868-A16S Analog input 4-20mA convert not linear
Posted by: nicolouts - 06-14-2024, 05:57 AM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello,

I have a KC868-A16S and I follow the exemple to read analog input from 4-20mA input.
But do you know why my raw value isn't linear?
I use analog input 4 for my test who is an 0-20mA input.
I have measure raw value from 1mA to 20mA but these value aren't linear.

What can I do?

1 mA -> 17
2 mA -> 208
3 mA -> 390
4 mA -> 582
5 mA -> 763
6 mA -> 958
7 mA -> 1140
8 mA -> 1340
9 mA -> 1525
10 mA -> 1715
11 mA -> 1906
12 mA -> 2095
13 mA -> 2287
14 mA -> 2465
15 mA -> 2663
16 mA -> 2850
17 mA -> 3045
18 mA -> 3253
19 mA -> 3483
20 mA -> 3760

thank you
