Hi Kincony, I'm working with KC868-D16, 12V PowerSupply and 12V 7W dimmer lamp.
I'm using this config:
- name: dimmer-2
unique_id: dimmer-2
schema: template
command_topic: 'dimmer/28e5d2df6311b55XXXXXXXXX/set'
state_topic: 'dimmer/28e5d2df6311b55XXXXXXXXXX/state'
command_on_template: >
{%- if brightness is defined -%}
,{"dimmer2":{"value":{{(brightness / 255 * 100) | int - 1}}}
{%- else -%}
,'{"dimmer2":{"value":99}}'
{%- endif -%}
command_off_template: '{"dimmer2":{"value":0}}'
What I notice is that light only changes from 0 to 20% then it's all the same as if it is at 100%.
How to fix this?

what LED driver you are using? you can use multi meter to test D16 output GREEN terminal, whether you change 0--100% whether is 0-10v dc output

Hi! I'm using one of your LED driver bought on AliExpress (12V). I've tested D16 output and it's totally accurate. When home assistant is at 50%, multimeter shows 5v, when at 100%, shows 10v.
Problem is that the light only change brightness when between 0-50%, from 50% to 100% brightnes remains the same (full brightness)..
Please confirm if this is accurate and how to fix:

{%- if value_json.dimmer2.value == 0 -%}
off

on

Because it is not linear in HA, you can try to adjust setting. when we have free time, we will have a look.

Yes please as this will determine if I can use D16 for my house and dimmer bulbs or not...
Moreover, I'm not receiving notifications/emails from the forum. Is it working ok? Thread subscription is set to: Subscribe and receive email notification of new replies.

Hi Kincony, wonder if you had some time to take a look at previous message.
I ran more tests and noticed that SSR are not operating at 220v (~160-170v instead). I tried two different in case one of them was failed. See screenshot attached.
LED Driver is receiving 220v
Any help?
Thanks
RE: New home with KinCony products - admin - 07-01-2024
let KC868-D16 dimmer output dc 0-10v, then SSR will output AC 0-220V.
take a photo how you wire. suggest you add a "Resistive" load for testing.

I never see 220v and lamps turn on but work erratically. Here's a photo of the wiring. I've been testing Channel 16 with different 220v bulbs, also tested different SSR to discard but both behave the same.
I notice that bulb light is not stable at low %... please help
RE: New home with KinCony products - admin - 07-04-2024
when i have free time, i will take a demo video use KC868-D16 work with AC220v lamp for you.
in your photo, i seen the right output terminal connect with a LED strip. No, you need add a driver to D16 output, LED strip connect with a driver. can't connect with D16 directly.

Hello,
i want to make my new apartment smart but i have no idea if https://shop.kincony.com/products/16ch-raspberry-pi-distribution-panel-home-assistant-node-red will be enough or i need this one https://shop.kincony.com/products/32ch-smart-distribution-panel-with-energy-monitoring. Could you help me to figure what is the best options for the below setup
My setup is:
12 light switches
16 lightbulbs ( but there will be 3 pairs of 2 lights bulbs + 10 individual)
12 outlets
4 presence sensors
4 temperature sensors
and probably in the future 5 roller shades
Sorry for posting here but the thread that i created doesn't appear. hope its not an issue.
Best regards
