I bought the next sensor to experiment:

Soil Moisture Sensor 
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExqUPDK

Powered 3.3v, gnd and tried AO on AI (9-16) & DO on DI (1-8). No change seen on inputs of AIO when I dipped sensor in water and out.

  24V Support
Posted by: yawniek - 04-18-2025, 05:06 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (2)

Hi, 

It would be good to be able to see more prominently which products support 24V input voltage and which products do not support it. 
Sometimes the board notes 12V but they work with 24V and sometimes not. 

Could you clarify which products support 24V and maybe put input voltage more clearly into descriptions?

Thank You
Y

  KC868-AP JSON not valid
Posted by: simpl3x - 04-17-2025, 11:49 AM - Forum: KC868-AP / ADR - Replies (5)

Have KC868-AP

Code:
Board Model
KC868_AP
Software Version
v2.2.12
Build Date
Feb 28 2025 14:41:30
Serial Number
C82E18C85DFC

I try integrate it to Home Assistant over MQTT, but it not working. 
I have this template:
Code:
mqtt:
  light:
  - name: 'KC868-AP-1-DIMM-1'
    unique_id: KC868-AP-1-DIMM-1
    schema: template
    command_topic: "KC868_AP/C82E18C85DFC/SET"
    state_topic: "KC868_AP/C82E18C85DFC/STATE"
    command_on_template: >
      {% if brightness is defined %}
      {"dac1":{"value":{{(brightness / 255  * 100) | int - 1}}}
      {% else %}
      {"dac1":{"value":255}}
      {% endif %}
    command_off_template: >
      {"dac1":{"value":0}}
    state_template: >
      {% if value_json.dac1.value == 0 %}
      off
      {% else %}
      on
      {% endif %}
    brightness_template: >
      {{ (value_json.dac1.value / 99 * 255) | int }}
when I change dimmer value in HA, message received on device and dimmer value is changed, but light state in HA still Unknown.
I try to check status JSON in linter and it have mistake:
Code:
{"input1":{"value":false},"input2":{"value":false},"input3":{"value":false},"input4":{"value":false},"input5":{"value":false},"input6":{"value":false},"input7":{"value":false},"input8":{"value":false},"input9":{"value":false},"input10":{"value":false},"input11":{"value":false},"input12":{"value":false},"input13":{"value":false},"input14":{"value":false},"input15":{"value":false},"input16":{"value":false},"input17":{"value":false},"input18":{"value":false},"output1":{"value":false},"output2":{"value":true},"dac1":{"value":0},"dac2":{"value":0},"dac3":{"value":0},"dac4":{"value":0},"dac5":{"value":0},"dac6":{"value":0},"dac7":{"value":0},"dac8":{"value":0},"dac9":{"value":0},"dac10":{"value":0},"dac11":{"value":0},"dac12":{"value":0},"dac13":{"value":0},"dac14":{"value":0},"dac15":{"value":0},"dac16":{"value":0},}
after  "dac16":{"value":0}, has extra comma.
if I publish valid JSON in status topic without extra comma HA gets status of dimmer channel correct:

Code:
{"input1":{"value":false},"input2":{"value":false},"input3":{"value":false},"input4":{"value":false},"input5":{"value":false},"input6":{"value":false},"input7":{"value":false},"input8":{"value":false},"input9":{"value":false},"input10":{"value":false},"input11":{"value":false},"input12":{"value":false},"input13":{"value":false},"input14":{"value":false},"input15":{"value":false},"input16":{"value":false},"input17":{"value":false},"input18":{"value":false},"output1":{"value":false},"output2":{"value":true},"dac1":{"value":0},"dac2":{"value":0},"dac3":{"value":0},"dac4":{"value":0},"dac5":{"value":0},"dac6":{"value":0},"dac7":{"value":0},"dac8":{"value":0},"dac9":{"value":0},"dac10":{"value":0},"dac11":{"value":0},"dac12":{"value":0},"dac13":{"value":0},"dac14":{"value":0},"dac15":{"value":0},"dac16":{"value":0}}

  Expose IFTT in KCSv3 as Switches in HomeAssistant
Posted by: riri0 - 04-15-2025, 01:41 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (6)

Hello.
I have a suggestion for your KCSv3. Can you add feature to expose enable/disable switches for each IFTT to MQTT/Home Assistant? Or at least a global enable/disable switch for all IFTT.
I have the A16v3 board I am currently using KCSv3 with home assistant for automation. I want to put more simple IFTT automation in KCSv3 and disable IFTT for normal use, but enable IFTT when power loss. My home assistant and A16v3 have different separate battery backup because they are in different locations. When I have power loss, my home assistant battery backup maybe last 30 minutes maximum, the A16v3 should last a very long time with its own battery backup because very low power consumption. So I want when my home assistant detect power loss, enable IFTT in KCSv3 so that I can have basic automation still running, but when power come back, disable IFTT to have more advanced automation using home assistant. I don't want the IFTT automation clash with home assistant automations.

I also have another question/suggestion.
I am still new and learning about esp32 and Kincony products and features. I follow your website: https://www.kincony.com/how-to-use-kcsv3...board.html to install KCSv3 firmware, but I do not see any instructions on how to update from older version to newer version. Do I repeat the same steps? Can you add in your webpage instructions of how to update KCSv3 from older version to newer version? Does it keep all the settings and IFTT from the older version?

  Issues with Ethernet connection
Posted by: michaelonmac - 04-15-2025, 07:05 AM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (7)

I have just received the KC868-M16-V2.1 board with PoE module.

I am able to power the board ok with PoE. however I am unable to get ESPHome to connect via Ethernet.

ESPHome config is

Code:
ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk_mode: GPIO17_OUT
  phy_addr: 0


I have also added static IP as follows:

Code:
ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk_mode: GPIO17_OUT
  phy_addr: 0

  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 192.168.85.24
    gateway: 192.168.85.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    dns1: 192.168.85.1


Getting errors about IP when using DHCP
Code:
[16:51:12][I][ethernet:248]: Starting ethernet connection
[16:51:12][W][component:157]: Component ethernet set Warning flag: waiting for IP configuration

When using StaticIP it looks promising
Code:
[16:51:12][I][ethernet:259]: Connected via Ethernet!
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:515]:   IP Address: 192.168.85.24
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:516]:   Hostname: 'energy-monitor'
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:517]:   Subnet: 255.255.255.0
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:518]:   Gateway: 192.168.85.1
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:523]:   DNS1: 192.168.85.1
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:524]:   DNS2: 0.0.0.0
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:536]:   MAC Address: E4:65:B8:6A:91:FC
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:537]:   Is Full Duplex: YES
[16:51:12][C][ethernet:538]:   Link Speed: 100

However it is unable to be seen on the network at all.

I have tried different cables and ports on my network switch.
