Hi Admin,

Is it possible to use LoRa for indoor connectivity?

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to two KC868-A16's yesterday. I have a MacBook Air M4, connected the devices with several cables, even tried to use two hubs to connect through USB, but the devices were not recognised. Then I tried a MacBook Air M1, then a raspberry pi 5, and finally borrowed a Windows 11 laptop. None of these devices recognised any connection to the usb port at all.
Even without USB, but connected to ethernet, the KC's didn't get an ip-address, nor was there a new AP I could wirelessly connect to (when I didn't attach the network cable).

The power light was on, I did push button 2 when connecting through USB (I also tried without).

Can I safely assume that both KC's are dead?

Thanks,
Hans

When using digital input in  IFTTT trigger action, what option do I select:
true, 
false,
rising edge, etc
to trigger the action?

How can I configure the Air quality sensor in TA? See picture

I am trying to configure my F16. But I came across your recommendation.  "4. It is recommended to use home assistant and Tuya mobile phone app at the same time. So that remote control by internet using Tuya app, local control by LAN using home assistant app"

Which installation approach will yield the recommended result?

I have here a faulty Kincony MB - I have wasted many hours reinstalling firmware at instruction of Kincony - there seems to be hardware issue with this board as it only reads from shunts 9 through 16 - no readings for shunts 1 through 8.

Please advise how to resolve this issue.

v2.2.17 improvement:
1. tuya app sensor data fixed by one decimal.
2. added new server location for tuya app.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a setup with a Kincony KC868-A2 and a SIM7600 LTE module and I want to connect it to Home Assistant over LTE only.
At the moment I’m using Tuya Cloud, because it seems to be the only solution that officially supports LTE with this board.
My goal is to:

• Control the relays from Home Assistant
• Read inputs and sensor values (ADC, 1-Wire, etc.) remotely via LTE

Current situation:

• The device works fine in the Smart Life / Tuya app over LTE
  
• It also appears in my Tuya Developer account
  
• But in Home Assistant it shows as unsupported and I currently have no control at all
  

Hello,
After watching some videos on YouTube, I started my home lighting automation project.

Using the A16_V3 + E16_V2 hardware and KCS v3.15.0 software.

I'm using a traditional doorbell switch as input and I'm having trouble getting it to work.
   
I made the connection between A16_V3 and E16 as follows:
I suspect my problem is that I'm connecting to digital input 1 + GRD.
Where am I going wrong? How do I use it with a traditional switch?
   

Hi,

Can you tell which is the recommended way to integrate with home assistant OS running on a raspberry pi 5? I'm looking for the most reliable method with a latency of less than 200ms to activate a relay.
* kcs firmware with mqtt over wifi
* esphome firmware with esphome over wifi
* usb (is this supported on home assistant OS?)
* bluetooth (is this supported as a client, and is it supported on home assistant OS?)
* ...?

Thank you,
Bernard
