KC868-AG GPIO use with KCS firmware - Ditchdigger - 06-26-2025
Hello,
I received a kc868-ag module the other day and was able to learn an ir remote key fob for our little propane generator and then re-transmit the signal using the transmit function on the ir part of the index menu of the webserver. This worked well. The application I have is to use a couple of gpio inputs from our solar/battery inverter dry contacts in order to start our little remote start generator up (start ir transmitter signal) and shut it down (stop ir signal) for charging. I cannot find Inputs or Outputs anywhere in the webserver index for using the gpio's. Online, it appears that inputs and outputs via gpio can be assigned via ifttt/custom protocols. I have the KC868.ag 2.2.14 bin file loaded on the module now. Is it possible to use the KCS firmware to enable the inputs to work with external, dry contacts with the ag model? I have the regular ag unit and not the pro unit. Thanks in advance!! Matt

AG board no digital input port for user. do you means the free gpios on PCB?

Yes, the free gpio’s on the board.

sorry, that free GPIO not support use by KCS, if you want to use it, i suggest config by ESPHome or write your own arduino source code.
