HxB + monitor screen - Yazaww - 01-30-2023
Hello,
A question, can i connect h32b or h16b with a screen? By rs485? And its done, like lets say i connected h32b with lights and controlling them from mobile app but i also want to control them from a screen, can i do that? And if yes please explain to me how
RE: HxB + monitor screen - admin - 01-30-2023
there are some different way:
1. find a windows tablet , for example 10 inch screen. install our windows software for Pad.
download link: https://www.kincony.com/download/MulitiBoardCtrlV1.0.3.0324.zip
2. user a server running home assistant software, then you can use any android pad or Apple iPad install home assistant app to use. Just integrate H32B to home assistant system by MQTT.
3. use HMI monitor that have RS232 or network interface, but you need to program code for the HMI device , you can create your ico style for any function.

My point is number 3, i have hmi monitor that i connect to plc but i want to connect it with kincony devices is it possible? And how it can be done please?
RE: HxB + monitor screen - admin - 01-31-2023
sure, according write code on your HMI device according RS232 protocol.
here is RS232 protocol: https://www.kincony.com/smart-controller-development-protocol.html
RS232 Baud rate: 115200bps
such as :
if want to turn ON relay one, send string: RELAY-SET-255,1,1
if want to turn OFF relay one, send string: RELAY-SET-255,1,0
how to program need to see HMI device user guide.

After i do these codes, 1) i need rs232 cable to connect between hxb and hmi?
2) how im supposed to design the hmi? Like i want to add on/off button on the hmi do i need to program smth on hxb? Or its hmi programming?
RE: HxB + monitor screen - admin - 01-31-2023
1. Yes
2. only add code to your HMI device, only HMI programming.
