  Additional GPIO
Posted by: Amaral989 - 03-11-2025, 02:45 AM - Forum: KC868-A4S - Replies (3)

Hello, 

I have two questions. 
First question, I have damaged the GPIO1 by having to many volts. It probably reached 7-8 volts. I'm using GPIO 1 and GPIO 2 as pulse counters. GPIO1 stopped working and will not read any more pulses. GPIO 2 still works. 

Are there any additional GPIO that I can use for pulse counting. I'm not using Wi-Fi, 485, or SIM module. If it's possible, where are the additional GPIOs located? And will be using a voltage divider to drop voltage down to 1 volt.

Second question, for the digital inputs. I was hoping it would trigger with 12volts. But it seems it will only trigger with ground. The reasoning is that i am using this in a camper van and I get 12-14volt DC as trigger. But it doesnt trigger, only with ground. 


Thanks again, 
John A

  Hibrid project
Posted by: Psyos - 03-09-2025, 07:58 PM - Forum: KC868-Server Raspberry Pi4 local server - Replies (5)

Good afternoon, I would like to know if you can help me with a project to be carried out. I needed a hybrid system, that is, control lights, blinds, gate motors via Home Assistant and at the same time manually in case the server is damaged. The server I want to use is KC868-Server16. 
I needed to know if I have to add the KC868-A16V3 module and subsequently relays. 
Thank you very much

  Input 1-2 not working
Posted by: erkkis - 03-08-2025, 10:02 PM - Forum: KC868-A6 - Replies (6)

Hi,

I ordered A6 from Aliexpress. Seems the device otherwise works well, but digital inputs 1-2 are not working while inputs 3-6 work fine. Inputs were tested only by connecting GND to input 1-6 via jumper wire.

Chat with Aliexpress seller asked to contact via Whatsapp. After doing everything required I was asked to post here (don't know why).

What I have done:

Step 1. ESPHome

I tested it with ESPHome code from here https://devices.esphome.io/devices/KinCony-KC868-A6.

Digital inputs 3-6 work, digital inputs 1-2 don't work, relays 1-6 work.

Step 2. Arduino code

I tested with this code:

Code:
#include <Wire.h>
#include "PCF8574.h"
#define SDA_PIN 4    // I2C SDA pin
#define SCL_PIN 15  // I2C SCL pin
PCF8574 pcf8574_input(0x22);  // PCF8574 address for inputs
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN);
  // Initialize PCF8574 inputs
  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    pcf8574_input.pinMode(i, INPUT);
  }
  // Check if PCF8574 is detected
  if (!pcf8574_input.begin()) {
    Serial.println("Error: PCF8574 (0x22) not detected!");
  } else {
    Serial.println("PCF8574 (0x22) detected.");
  }
}
void loop() {
  Serial.print("Inputs: ");
  // Read all 6 input pins
  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    int state = pcf8574_input.digitalRead(i);
    Serial.print(state);
    Serial.print(" ");  // Print space between values
  }
  Serial.println();  // New line
  delay(500);  // Delay for readability
}

It monitors inputs and prints out values. Inputs 1-2 don't print anything, inputs 3-6 work fine.

Step 3. KCS firmware
Whatsapp chat told to: "you can download KCS firmware to test board whether work well"

I did that and tested again the same scenarios. Result is the same: Digital inputs 3-6 work, digital inputs 1-2 don't work, relays 1-6 work.

What should I do?

  Input problem 868 A6
Posted by: bednark - 03-08-2025, 12:36 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello everyone,

i am setting up my 868 A6 but i cant get any input to the device,

Shorting GND with any pin does nothing, applying voltage in input does nothing as well. when i reverse input the webui still displays no input.

Should i chage something in the settings?

ive used this manual:

https://www.kincony.com/images/user-guid...e_v2.0.pdf

Please help me.
