Temperature and humidity with A6

[Savino]

Hello,
i'd like to add temperature and umidity sensor to my kc868-A6 board.
The board is flashed with latest kincony firmware (2.2.4).

I know that this board has two specific input designed to accept temperature and humidity sensors.

I need some info:

1) wich sensors are suitable to this board?
2) wich one do you suggest?

Thanks

if you download KCS firmware, support DS18B20,DHT11,DHT22 sensors. you can chose any one connect to free GPIO ports.

Done. Thanks.
Now I'm able to read temperature and humidity from DHT11 connected to my A6 board.
At the moment I get this values from the monitor section of kincony firmware.

Next step I'd like to read temperature and humidity data from the same sensor with the same connection to the board A6 but, this time, I need to read data from RS485.

Where to find info about register type, address and so on from wich get data?

hi Admin and thanks for very quickly answer.
Unfortunately the link you forwarded to me is not useful to solve the problem and I still have some questions.

I'm very interested in using kincony products and tryng to make a complete domotic system for my home.
The hardware setup is: kincony mini Server (running homeassistant) connected via RS485 to some expansion board (slaves) type A6. The different A6 board are located in different places in the house (a very big house). Some A6 board are integrated in home assistant via ESPhome, some other via RS485.

So now I need to read the DHT11 sensor connected to one of the A6 board via RS485.

Question:
1) at the link you posted I read that modbus not support read sensor by 1 -wire port. So this mean is impossible?

2) at the same link you say "if you can write arduino code, you can define protocol by yourself.

Now, I'm not so able to write this level of software and I'm asking for kincony support. 
So please, consider to help some users like me, not so able to write complicate software but very interested to use your product. 
Is possible from you to provide this kind of support? This will make your product a good choice for more people and not only for experts in writing software.

Thanks anyway.

Note: What about to make one of your video titled "How to read by RS485 temperature sensor connected to A6 board" this will be great

if you can't write arduino code, you can config by ESPHome, it's easier. we have demo video how to integrate by RS485 "modbus controller" by ESPHome:

Hello it seems we don't understood each other.
The video you linked provide info about how to setup modbus controller and manage digital output of A6 board by RS485.
The video doesn't provide info about how to configure modbus controller in order managing temperature sensor attached to the 1 wire input of A6.
I'm asking for this information, I have already yaml file to manage digital input and digital output of A6 board by RS485, now I would like to get additional info to add in the yaml file to read 1 wire sensor connected to the A6.
The video doesn't provide this info and the protocol document you linked doesn't provide this info too.
Could you provide this specific info?

1-wire sensor not support by KCS firmware modbus protocol.
i suggest you integrate all KC868-A6 board by wifi, so that can config by ESPHome use all hardware resource.

OK. I follow your suggestion. Now I integrate A6 board with esp home. I see digital input and relay output. I don't see the 1Wire sensor in the Esphome dashboard. I think I must add something to the yaml file of the A6 board in order to see the 1 wire sensor. Could you provide this part of the yaml file?
Thanks.

you need add command to yaml. how to use DHT11, check at here: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/dht.html
