Configuration

Kincony user manuals located here: http://www.kincony.com/document Kincony setup instructions (not really required) https://www.kincony.com/kc868-h8wh32...manual.html

Step 1: Common AKWebIO setup for all supported devices: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...67#post1533867

Step 2: Configure Kincony device

I found connecting via Ethernet is much easier option (at least initially). Then you don't need to use dodgy Chinese S/W which Windows always finds suspicious and blocks. Once Kincony device is connected to the router using Ethernet cable, you can find its IP address and go in browser to this address (default login admin/admin). Make sure the Work Mode is set to "TCP Server" (important). For the example below, in the HS device settings page set the Server URL to 192.168.1.61:4196 (default port is 4196).

Here you can also set-up WiFi connection if required. 1. Set "Wifi AP Mode" to STA. 2. Set Router Name(SSID), Encryption Method, Encryption Algorithm, Password (router). 3. "Wifi IP Mode" set to Static (recommended) 4. After clicking "Save" the device will reboot and connect to WiFi. 5. Now in the HS device settings page you can set Server URL to "192.168.1.62:8899" (Wifi Server Port is 8899).

Note: Ethernet "Work Mode" and "Wifi Work Mode" can be set/verified on the board using the buttons "Ethernet Mode" or "WiFi Mode". Make sure that the mode is set to "TCP Server" indicated by yellow LED.

is 16output port & 8input port version KC868-H16B also supported?

I didn't add KC868-H16B because I don't own it. If you have KC868-H16B I can add it, it takes 10 minutes.

[EDIT]

BETA 4.0.4.1 - Added KinCony KC868-H16B. Untested.

Have conected KC868-H16B now, but

- 1-16 outputs open and closing the relays right

Best Regards

I don't have 16 relay board, only tested with 4 relays.

Please enable Log for the device (probably set to Trace), filter HS log by plugin (FILTER FROM) and EXPORT to file.

Also output from Tools => Help.

[Baxe]

Okey, coming back

[alexbk66]

Okey, coming back

BTW, the inputs are "Dry Contact" see KC868-Smart-Controller-parameters-v3.2.pdf - and should be "open" = "off", but I can confirm that it's opposite. I need to check the code and documentation. So don't worry about the inputs for the moment.

[EDIT]

But I still need the log for outputs

[Baxe]

Okey now it´s hear

Okey thanks

[alexbk66]

Ok, please try ver 4.0.5.1 (BETA) - inverted input states, fixed display for relay states (16 and 32).

The relay control should work correctly, it's only the state display was wrong.

To install BETA please enable "Show Beta Plugins" on Plugins => Add page.

Since I can't test myself - please let me know how it goes.

[Baxe]

Lets see,

The inputs are working now, but you were probably convinced of that.

Relay output 1-8 works correctly with indication, but when you continue on, it starts to turn on and off both here and there.

But as we have said before, the relay itself works as it should, only the indication.

New log, hope it helps you.

[alexbk66]

I need more info - what exactly is wrong. I don't have the H16 and the Chinese documentation is difficult to comprehend.

Can you please set relays one-by-one, look in the log for 'RELAY-GET_INPUT-255' and post the Response (i.e. '1111111100000000'), and post the screenshot of the wrong relays.

[EDIT]

I.e. from the log end (log is in reverse) i can see that you set at 19:04:21 relay 1 to Off ('RELAY-SET-255,1,0') which gives Response: '0111111100000000' - meaning that first output switched off. And relays 2-8 are On. But what do you have in reality - I don't know.

[Baxe]

Sorry, didn't think of that
Get back to you later
