Posted by: classiccars - 03-14-2025, 11:57 AM - Forum: "KCS" v2 firmware system - Replies (6)

Does anybody know wich firmware I must use for the KC868-A16v3 Board?
I loaded   KCS_KC868_A16_V2.2.12.zip  with USB and now the board does not work anymore.
Was it the wrong firmware?

Sad Relays on ESPHome not working
Posted by: CHILE19 - 03-12-2025, 10:25 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (8)

Hey everyone!! 
I just configure my brand new KC868-A16 REV 1.6 on EspHome with this code:

Code:
esphome:
  name: calefaccion-central
  friendly_name: Calefaccion Central

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

# Enable logging
logger:
  level: VERY_VERBOSE

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  encryption:
    key: "WXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXnEgY="

ota:
  - platform: esphome
    password: "ca97bdfXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXdab073"

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Calefaccion-Central"
    password: "69NT2lnfj2Kd"

captive_portal:

i2c:
  sda: GPIO4
  scl:
    number: GPIO5
    ignore_strapping_warning: true

pcf8574:

  - id: outputs_1_8
    address: 0x24
    pcf8575: false

switch:

  - platform: gpio
    name: "sw_caldera"
    id: sw_caldera #1
    pin:
      pcf8574: outputs_1_8
      number: 0
      mode: OUTPUT
      inverted: true


I erase all the unecesary code.

The board seams to work ok, but I cant get the realys to work.
Here is the log from ESPHome:

  KC868-AG board type
Posted by: powerup - 03-12-2025, 01:33 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (3)

Hi,

i am programming myself the KC868-AG, i bought 2 units. 1 of them died after 1-2hrs, the other unit is working fine. The first one is giving USB device not recognized. Same cable is working fine for the other device.

Q1: what chip do I choose for this device.
Q2: what is the memory limit of this device, does it have enough space for OTA updates and save many RF signals?

Thank you.
