Hello, I recently received an N20. I have access to it via Ethernet, but I can't connect it to "kinconyn20.local" nor can I connect it to Home Assistant. The strange thing is that it connects via MQTT from Home Assistant.

As soon as the device arrived, I flashed it to version v3 3.18.0. Its IP address is 192.168.3.78 (within my network range, OK), and its Wi-Fi access point is 192.168.4.1.

Is the problem that it can't access "kinconyn20.local"? Why doesn't Home Assistant recognize it?

I need to check the configuration of the CT clamps, as well as the L1 and L2 power inputs, which are not appearing.

I'm Spanish, sorry for the autotranslated English.

Hello Admin,

Have you ever created an example Arduino program to get results from API calls (HTTP/HTTPS Web Server)?
Btw, I used Kincony F16 ESPS3 with Tuya. 
And I have already tested mostly features in the KCS V3 firmware.

Thank you very much.

I have a Kincony A16v3, with Home Assistant running on a Pi4.

I ran a Momentary Push Button Switch to a switch input on the A16v3.  I set up an automation where you press the switch, and it runs an automation.

Is there a way to run a different automation on the way you press the switch?  Like, if I hold the button down, it triggers a different automation?

If this exists, can you point me toward a tutorial?

Thank you

Hello,
I am a new user of the Kincony A16. I would like to replace my current ESP32 with the A16, but I am having an issue with the relay modules. In my existing project, the relays are controlled using 3.3 V logic. How can I control a low-voltage relay module using the A16? Are there any available options or recommended solutions?

hello

can you send me step by step, how to setup tuya adaptor V2 and KC868 h32bs.

Thank you

Hi!

I would like connect to the KC868-A6-V1.4SP an optocoupler - similar to https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005008446930626.html . My goal is to detect and react for switching 230V power in monitored circuit.

I flashed the KC868-A6 board with ESPHome - for now with default configuration.

Can someone help me understand
- from which pin should I take a power source for low voltage optocoupler side 
- where to connect its output to the KC868-A6 board
- what I have to add to the ESPHome configuraiton?

Thank you in advance.

board KC868-a16 V1.7
software Kincony V2.2.18

I have connected the board with home assitant using mqtt broker.
Now I can see all 16 inputs and  16 outputs.

When I want to create an automation or a scene, I cannot select an input ( indicated as' bineray sensor' in homeassistant. How can I select this binary sensor to trigger an automation ?

Second question. In the Kincony software I can select for an input 'single click, double click, hold on, .... etc'. Can this information also send to homeassistant ? Now I only see for these inputs only ON or OFF

Hi,

Somehow the Energy entry does not work.
There is current, voltage, power, frequency and also energy sum, but no energy per device.
I'm using these  CT clamps https://shop.kincony.com/products/25a-cu...s=e&_v=1.0

Why is there no Energy displayed per device? Can you help me?





There are some errors in the yaml file here https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8647
There were strange characters or weird spaces in the file, did need to correct that otherwise ESPHome didn't wanted to apply it.
Also indentation of some of the filters was of (not a problem for ESPHome).

Hi all,
I’m commissioning a KinCony KC868-Server and running the onboard ESP32 (WROOM-32UE) with ESPHome.
USB flashing works fine via CH340, but I’m having trouble bringing up the ESP32 Ethernet.
I’m confident this is ESP32 native Ethernet (RMII), not W5500 SPI. The board clearly has a PHY + magnetics for the ESP32 Ethernet port (separate from the CM4 Ethernet).
Key observations:

• ESPHome compile output shows:
  
  
  Code:

  esp_eth_phy_jl1101.c.o
  so it appears the PHY is JL1101
  
• Runtime log shows EMAC reset timeout when Ethernet is initialised
  
• Ethernet never links, no DHCP lease
  

1. Can anyone confirm which Ethernet PHY the KC868-Server ESP32 actually uses?
   
   • Is it JL1101 (as ESPHome compile suggests)?
     
2. If so, could someone share a known-working ESPHome Ethernet YAML for this board?
   
3. Are the RMII pins / PHY address / power pin documented anywhere for the ESP32 side?
   

Hello!

I'm building a new apartment and need some help picking up a product from Kincony's lineup:

There are too many similar boards, with subtle differences, so it's a little confusing which to select.
Here's what I'm planning for:

- Automated lights everywhere. I think I can consider 3 light circuits in each room
- IR integration for HVAC split systems (heat pumps)
- Automated curtains (roll-on or some railing system)
- Power measurement over each power phase (no need for individual circuit measurement)
- RF 433 MHz support for future use

About the space itself:
It's a 190 sqm high-rise apartment, with 4 bedrooms (suite) + large living room (with balcony), kitchen, and mudroom
Also:

- I live in Brazil, and power here is usually a 3-phase 220v system.
- Lighting nowadays is LED-based, but all bulbs and fixtures are always AC 220V. I've never shopped for DC lighting (12 or 24V).
- Power outlets are rated for 10A @ 220V. High-power outlets (mud room, kitchen appliances) are 20A @ 220V

Other things I'd like:
- I want to use regular dry-contact wall switches: Specialty or wireless switches are a big no for me.
- I would like to use CAT5 UTP cabling for switches, if possible.
- I would like to use POE for powering as many devices as possible
- I have no interest in TUYA, and I'll use a Home Assistant setup, so the board needs to support ESP Home

Please help, I don't know what  boards to choose.
