  BM16 Problems
Posted by: PWJ - 04-01-2025, 07:49 AM - Forum: B16M - Replies (2)

First of im a newbie so please dont be hard on me. I purchased a B16M with Tuya it arrived yesterday. It came with no instructions but it seemed quite straight forward to connect up. Two terminals marked 12v I powered it up opened the Tuya app and hey presto it found it and installed it.

Once installed all the inputs and outputs were greyed out and no matter what I did. So I started hunting for instructions. Found the forum but couldnt post (but thats another story) found the ESP32 YAML File for home assistant installed that via ESPHome from my home assistant. That worked too but I was still unable to control the relays from HA even though the buttons moved on my HA nothing was happening on the board.

Now when I try to connect via usb the unit connects then disconnect connects then disconnect as if its drawing too much current and dropping out.

Ive since spoken via we chat and discovered there are some more 12v inputs (I suspect these drive the relays) connected these up but now I am just unable to connect to the unit.

Unfortunately Im at work now so unable to try any suggestions until this evening when I get home, but I would be grateful for any help that might point me in the right direction please. Ideally I need to get this back on Tuya.

Thanks Peter

I want to connect the temperature sensors ds18b20.
How many sensors can be connected to the S1 conector?

  KC868-A inputs pulses
Posted by: kulibin - 03-28-2025, 06:07 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (8)

Which inputs are best used to read pulses. (KC868-A  V1.6) 
For example, from a water sensor. 0-5V range? 
I think A1-A2 or S3-S4? 
How to correctly write a configuration for such an input?

Hi,

Can you tell me what type of antenna I would have to buy if I wanted to position one away from the G1?  Are all the three supplied antenna the same?

  Alarm bell box with A16 outputs
Posted by: Knightrider - 03-28-2025, 01:18 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

I have just ordered an A16 to replace my wired ESP32-based alarm system (using home assistant and ESPHome).

My alarm bell box has a constant 12v supply, and activates the siren by pulling the trigger to ground:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/External-Wired-...PAHGN6WB8C

Currently, I use low level outputs from the ESP32 board to trigger 5v relays to pull to ground.

If I am correct, the A16 outputs at 12v.  In order to achieve the same result (pulling the siren trigger to ground) am I correct in thinking that I would need to replace the relays with ones that trigger at 12v?

Is anyone using the A16 already with a typical Bell box as the one shown?

  Assistance with RS485 Communication via KC868-A16 & Wemos D1
Posted by: Bastn - 03-28-2025, 09:37 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

Hi,
I currently have the following setup:

  • Wemos D1 (ESP8266) connected to the Wi-Fi network.
  • KC868-A16 connected to the Wi-Fi network, running KCS firmware V2.
  • RS485 I/O module (25IOB16) connected to the KC868-A16 via RS485 (A/B).
I want to be able to read and write the inputs and outputs of the RS485 I/O module (25IOB16) using:
  • or IFTTT through the KC868-A16.
  • orA Wemos D1 (ESP8266) running Arduino code, connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the KC868-A16.
Issues I’m Facing:
  • I am unable to send or receive RS485 commands via IFTTT on the KC868-A16. (not supported by software?)
  • I am unable to send or receive RS485 commands from a small web UI on the Wemos D1 to the RS485 I/O module (25IOB16).
Objective:
I am looking to replace my current PLC, which simply toggles outputs based on input signals in my house.
Could you provide guidance on how to achieve this?
Thanks!
