  Delay Relay
Posted by: abbasgts - 09-24-2025, 06:36 AM - Forum: Development - Replies (1)

Subject: Request: Sequential 8-relay example for F8 (ESP32-S3), 1.5s step, reverse on shutdown

Message:
Hello KinCony team,

I am using the KinCony F8 (ESP32-S3) board with the PCF8575 I/O expander to control 8 relays. I would like to have an Arduino example that performs the following:
  •  Sequential ON: Relay1 → Relay8, with 1.5 seconds delay between each relay.
  •  Sequential OFF: Relay8 → Relay1, with the same 1.5 seconds delay.
  •  Arduino IDE, using I2C with SDA = GPIO8, SCL = GPIO18, and PCF8575 address = 0x24 (please confirm).

My questions are:
1. What is the exact GPIO mapping for each relay on the F8 hardware revision?
2. Do you have an official Arduino example implementing this sequence?
3. If there is a recommended library or header file for this board, could you please share the link?

Here is a sample code I tested so far (for reference):
#include <Wire.h>
#include <PCF8575.h>

#define I2C_SDA 8
#define I2C_SCL 18
#define PCF8575_ADDR 0x24

PCF8575 pcf(PCF8575_ADDR);
const uint8_t RELAY_PINS[8] = {P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7};

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  if (!pcf.begin(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL)) {
    Serial.println("PCF8575 not found!");
    while (1);
  }
  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    pcf.write(RELAY_PINS[i], HIGH);  // OFF at start
  }
}

void loop() {
  // Sequential ON
  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    Serial.print("Relay ON: "); Serial.println(i+1);
    pcf.write(RELAY_PINS[i], LOW);
    delay(1500);
  }

  // Sequential OFF
  for (int i = 7; i >= 0; i--) {
    Serial.print("Relay OFF: "); Serial.println(i+1);
    pcf.write(RELAY_PINS[i], HIGH);
    delay(1500);
  }
}

  Polarity Powering KC868-A8
Posted by: Nachuertas - 09-23-2025, 09:33 AM - Forum: KC868-A8 - Replies (3)

Hi,

I've been looking into using a DIN +12V DC power source for the KC868-A8, and I noticed that the new KC868-A6v3 is advertised with the comment: "new protection circuit to prevent power polarity from burning out."

This got me thinking—what would happen if I accidentally reversed the polarity on the KC868-A8?
Would it burn out immediately? Would it simply not work?
Does the KC868-A8 have any protection against this kind of mistake?

Thanks

  Powering a DS18b20
Posted by: Onepointbrewing - 09-23-2025, 05:58 AM - Forum: F16 - Replies (2)

Hello

Is it possible to power (VCC) from a GPIO output? I need to be able to reset a DS18B20 by turning off the VCC to the sensor as they get out of timing sync often and only are able to re-sync from a power cycle - not from a node reset.

Whats the max current the GPIO as an output that ic an supply

  Relay Trigger for Hot Water System
Posted by: swalton - 09-23-2025, 12:10 AM - Forum: DIY Project - Replies (3)

Hi All,

I’m after some advice on what to buy. I’d like Home Assistant to trigger a Finder DIN-rail power relay with a 12 V DC coil ( 22.23.9.012.4000 | Finder DIN Rail Power Relay, 12V dc Coil, 20A Switching Current, SPST-NC, SPST-NO | RS ) whenever I have excess solar during the day. 

The relay will switch a hot-water system. Which KinCony device would be the best fit, and can this finder relay coil run on AC as well as DC?

Here is the data sheet  0900766b816bcd62.pdf

   
 
Thanks!

Sam

  Modbus RS485 in Esphome
Posted by: Bergoglio - 09-18-2025, 05:31 PM - Forum: KC868-A16S - Replies (1)

Good morning,

I need to know how to enable the Modbus RS485 port in ESPHome for this board KC868-A16S.

I have this question because I need to control 6 fancoils Ideal Clima Ikaro with modbus protocol.

I attach pages of the service manual about modbus to understand if it is possible and how to do.
