RE: New DIY Project Support - ahmedk4444@yahoo.com - 08-19-2022
Thank you admin for helping and remote sharing the A16 setup and H32B and testing in home asisstant on home asisstant onlocal network only.
Some important questions and comments on this current steps and device tests.
Terminal switch board :-
1- H32B working fine and smoothly on home assistant app on mobile also by remote control but using switches on/off connected to terminal switchboard is not functioning wells, some circuits on and don't go off when requested off , some not responding at all, some respond but with significant delay!!
What is the reason of this how to improve the quick response?
2- if i need to connect electric curtain to some late circuits of H32B after configured the lighting, how i program some H32B channel for motor mode for certain channels only?
3. If i would like to use the 6 inputs of H32B for irrigstion system water valve opening / closing for 4 zones each is working on 48V and water pump of the house to see the status if it will working or not working 220V can be used with dry contact of H32B inputs.
4. How i can creat a scene for lighting on / off of H32B on home assistant and select some channel circuits to work at dusk at sunset and switch off at sunrise?
5. Still struggle to sort out working of home assistant on 4G outside local network using DNNS and give access to my family members to control controller using home assistant through local and 4 G.
Thank you

1. take a photo how you wire switch terminal board with your wall switch.
2. suggest you connect your motor to A16's output. it's easy to set "interlock" mode by A16's ESPHome config file, just change a little code, you can see this video tour, that is demo for E16S, not also can use for A16's setting. https://youtu.be/eEnQ2hHE1JM
3. H32B's input only use for dry contact, can't input ac220v, that will be broken for controller. you can create "automation" in home assistant. let inputX trigger some actions that you can define. just define an "automation" such as relay1 ON, relay2 ON, ...... that trigger with inputX.
4. this also is "automation" function, just "sunrise" and "sunset" created in home assistant as a sensor, then trigger "automation" by this sensor.
5. already given you the video tour, you just do as that video. https://youtu.be/np2JzhAPl3M

I attached some photos for wiring executed W6 on one gang and other on common, W 8 on one gang and other on common W10,11,12 on one gang and the other wire to common, W14,15 on one gang and other wire to Common, W16 on one gang and other on common, W 6, 8 working but significant delay response and hanging , other not switch on or off completely.

A16 will be connected beside the server to main control DB indoor and A16 will be far away and no wires to reach the shutter / Curtain

i took the output of Hunter irrigation contacts that provide 48 volt to the electrical water valve ( solonoid) and unfortunetely it is showing the input all the times trigger either if no order came from the irrigation panel to open the solonoid, i removed the wires and now no trigger for the H32B controller until ask you why trigger the 6 inputs of H32B while no volt goes to water electric valve?
4. this also is "automation" function, just "sunrise" and "sunset" created in home assistant as a sensor, then trigger "automation" by this sensor.
Please guide me to the instruction how to do this ( video + steps) with thanks

i will try to review again if failed i appreciate to look at it today morning with Any Desk
6. Further Question please: the power cut off and after return i found the server changed the ip from 192.168.1.9 instead of 192.168.1.8, i lost control to A16, server and connected H32B, do you agree that it is important to have a static ip for all Kincony devices to avoid DHCP change ip dynamically and loose control, i abled to change all information in Yaml and web device configuration and point out to the new ip however possible my family can't do so and i need good stability not open the programming each time electricity cut off. if you agree with me on this can you please guide me how i can change the web confirguration of home assistant to static ip ?

"WAN Host IP Address" you can check with your router's guide, actually not need to use, just set allow any IP can use.
LAN Host: 192.168.1.9 it's KC868-Server's IP address.
WAN Port and LAN Host Port, you can input all are 8123 for 4 option.
