Hi guys! I bought a relay module from Kincony. On board he has 32 outnput channels and 6 intput channels. The cost of one channel is approximately 2$.
But I have questions about its integration into HA.
On a local area network, it works on tcp socket.
This JS code works.
var net = require(‘net’);
var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(4196, ‘192.168.2.108’, function() {
console.log(‘Connected’);
client.write(‘RELAY-SET-1,4,0’);
});
The manufacturer has a voice control module based on ESP8266. It is based on firmware from sinric. You can flash it on ESPHome. But this is a workaround. It makes sense to use the built-in support TCP Socket.
KC868-H32 you can write code control relay or read input sensor from Ethernet or RS232 port. The voice module based on ESP8266, you can write code download to ESP8266, then send command by RS232 port.it’s very useful. some fans have connect with many kinds of smart home system:)
Welcome to the forum representative of the manufacturer of equipment !!!
The issue of equipment integration has remained open.
Help the community with the module integrating your equipment into the system Home Assistant.
Here you see the enormous potential of this market. There is also a community for Reddit and a russian-speaking community.
Help enthusiasts with integration and they will help you with sales.
The best solution would be to write an integration module. But as a workaround, the correct command code for feedback work.
Hello. Now what’s problem with your when you integrating the smart relay module?
There are two way to integrating KC868 Smart Controller:
1.LAN 2.WAN.
1: LAN is work in local network, not need internet. You can send command to controller directly by network.
2: WAN is use KinCony’s cloud server. You can send command to KinCony’s cloud server by account user name and password to get information from server and send command turn ON/OFF relays.
If you want to use in LAN, also have two way:
A.Controller as a server, your PC or Phone or arduino or Raspberry PI or any device as a client use socket connect with controller by IP and Port.
B.Controller as a client, you can use your own cloud server or one computer as a server, set the server IP and Port for controller, then after controller power on, it will auto connect with your own server by socket. When socket communication connection is established, you can send command to turn ON/OFF relays.
Controller use for server or client , it can set by you on network tool. So you can use any third party integration to KinCony’s controller.Now we are developing the wireless controller(RF+ZigBee), it also open protocol, support write code to send command, I have take some video uploaded to KinCony’s youtube channel.
I am trying to find commands to control this module.
So far I only managed to send commands. It looks like this:
switch:
platform: command_line
switches:
relay01:
command_on: ‘echo -n RELAY-SET-1,1,1 | nc IP PORT’
command_off: ‘echo -n RELAY-SET-1,1,0 | nc IP PORT’
value_template: ‘{{ “1,OK” in value }}’
friendly_name: Kitchen
relay02:
command_on: ‘echo -n RELAY-SET-1,2,1 | nc IP PORT’
command_off: ‘echo -n RELAY-SET-1,2,0 | nc IP PORT’
value_template: ‘{{ “1,OK” in value }}’
friendly_name: Hall
…
Now I have a question in feedback. If I press a button on the keyboard or send a command through the command line, the HA controller does not see the relay status.
Now , we have write the new fireware that when press keyboard’s key , it will have feedback that which key number have pressed. I have a video, i think that is you needed. But i don’t know how to upload the video or images to this forum.
