RE: KC868-A16 esp32 board (A16)as upgrade of a Homevision Controller? - hjahend - 04-22-2024
On my a16 board with ESPHome software I am now also testing the Kincony 433MH receiver and transmitter.
Added antennas to them for a sufficient range.
Learned a (pronto) hex-code set from my 433MHz RF equipment (Marmitek HR10 remote plus 433MHz TM12 tranciever). These units are since many years reliable in operation to switch and dim lights via X10.
Got from the the remote the hex code set (several times) for light:’ B1 ON’. Put all ll in YAML-code as follows:
# 433MHz receiver configuration entry
remote_receiver:
pin: 2
dump: pronto
tolerance: 50%
filter: 250us
idle: 4ms
# 433MHz transmitter configuration entry example
remote_transmitter:
pin: 13
carrier_duty_percent: 100%
- platform: gpio
name: "input16"
id: vrij

repeat:
times: 2
wait_time: 40ms
When testing with Input 16 (it should instruct a lamp B1 to go ON), I get this log-message:
14:21:14][D][binary_sensor:036]: 'input16': Sending state ON
[14:21:14][D][remote.pronto:101]: Send Pronto: frequency=38kHz
[14:21:14][D][remote.pronto:106]: Send Pronto: intros=66

[14:21:14][E][remote.pronto:109]: Inconsistent data, not sending
[14:21:14][E][remote_transmitter:117]: Empty data
Nothing happens with the lamp (stays OFF). What could be wrong?
(Note: the lamps still responds fine to the x10 remote HR10).

do you want to learn RF remote button to trigger OUTPUT?

I see in the logging (see previous message):
[14:21:14][E][remote.pronto:109]: Inconsistent data, not sending
[14:21:14][E][remote_transmitter:117]: Empty data
How to remedy that?

i suggest download KCS firmware, then test learn RF signal and send RF signal.
ESPHome not very well with RF function.

Thx. I am able now to transmit via ESPHome RF commands on 433MHz via the A16 board and they function OK on X10.
But a problem is that the A16 onboard 433 MHZ transmitter is not complete silent outside these commands: it transmits garbage signals and that may cause interference on other 433 MHZ systems in my house (like garage doors). How to stop that and only transmit when reguired via ESPHome (or other) commands (so a wait and respond setting of the 433MHz transmitter)?

do you means it will auto send 433MHz signal by A16 board?
RE: KC868-A16 esp32 board (A16)as upgrade of a Homevision Controller? - hjahend - 04-27-2024
Yes , it keeps sending 433Mhz signals. Want only 433MHz signal transmission if so commanded. What to ad or alter in the ESPHome codesnippet for that purpose?
RE: KC868-A16 esp32 board (A16)as upgrade of a Homevision Controller? - admin - 04-28-2024
i think it's not send by A16 board. you can try to remove the 433M sender module from A16 board, test whether have signal.

You are right. Sender likely OK. Removed most part of receiver antenna and the problem of spurious logging entries disappeared.

take a photo of your 433MHz receiver module
