"KCS" v3 firmware HTTP protocol document

Posted by: admin - 02-15-2025, 04:04 AM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - No Replies

Note: This protocol document use for KinCony ESP32-S3 smart controller:
you need to download KCS v3 firmware to ESP32-S3 firstly.
Different board will have different channel of digital output, digital input , ADC, DAC,IR, RF. So the protocol is same , just according to the hardware resource to set channel number.

Protocol

1: control digital output (DO)
Loxone send to KCS: RELAY-SET-255,2,1 //turn ON DO2
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-SET-255,2,1,OK
Loxone send to KCS: RELAY-SET-255,2,0 //turn OFF DO2
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-SET-255,2,0,OK

2: digital output (DO) state feedback
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-SET-255,3,1,OK //DO3 is ON
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-SET-255,3,0,OK //DO3 is OFF

3: digital input (DI) state feedback
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-GET_INPUT-255,4,1,OK //DI4 is ON
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-GET_INPUT-255,4,0,OK //DI4 is OFF

4: control analog output (AO)
Loxone send to KCS: RELAY-SET_DAC_255,2,0 //channel 2 AO=0 0%
KCS back to Loxone: RELAY-SET_DAC_255,2,0,OK
Loxone send to KCS: RELAY-SET_DAC_255,3,255 //channel 3 AO=255 100%
