KC868 4A control water from phone - Aleksis - 06-26-2023
Good afternoon.
In my project, a water level sensor and a temperature sensor are connected to the KC868 A4 controller.
Please tell me which program is better to monitor the readings from the sensor. I tried to connect to Homekit, there were no problems with the temperature sensor, but I didn’t understand how to make the status bar for filling the tank with water.
Maybe tell me how best to implement control from the phone for these sensors through the 4
A4 controller?

And DS18B20

wait for some time, we will release "KCS" firmware V2, that will support DS18B20 and analog sensor data monitor in phone via Tuya app.

Thanks for the answer!
Is it possible to add these 2 sensors to the tracking program before the release of the new firmware? Is it possible to somehow add a water level sensor to Homekit so that the status is displayed through the status bar or at least the value in numbers?
Tell me, is there an approximate time frame for when there will be a new firmware?
Thank you

new firmware need about 3-4 weeks. if you use by Apple homekit, if you can write arduino code, that use by Homespan library, it's open source, you can check how to use it with water level sensor.

Hi Team,
Tell me please do you have update for my question?
Can I add water level sensor?
RE: KC868 4A control water from phone - admin - 10-09-2023
this is new KCS v2 firmware download: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3330
you can use analog sensor now.
how to use , here is online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html

Good afternoon,
Please tell me, I have flashed the controller. Thank you.
But I would like to clarify how I can connect monitoring on my phone through Tuya? You wrote earlier that this could be done.
I also wanted to clarify, with this firmware I can record some kind of sketch via Arduino IDE? or just use the web interface that is available after the firmware or download via Arduino IDE?

if you have downloaded KCS firmware, you want to use tuya app, that need buy tuya license, 5usd/pc, no time limit, here is how to buy: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2544
download KCS firmware by "ESP download tool". if you want write your arduino code, sure, you can download by arduino IDE. anytime , you can overwrite ESP32 chip with different firmware.
