Kincony Kc868-A16V3 Esp32-S3 16 Channel Gpio Module Esphome Home Assistant Mqtt HTTP Modbus

Outputs:
16CH MOSFET Outputs, every channel use MAX 10A driver IC

Inputs:
4CH analog input DC0-5V (A1,A2,A3,A4)
16CH dry contact inputs (optocoupler isolation, long distance circuit for MAX 500 meters cable)
2 buttons: S1:ESP32 Reset S2:ESP32 Download (GPIO0)
1-Wire GPIO: 3CH (with pull-up resistance on PCB)
RF sender / receiver socket: 433MHz RF receiver

 

improvements based on old KC868-A16:

1. use by ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) big memory size chip. support extend wifi antenna by IPEX port.
2. add NTC power protect circuit, if polar exchange will not burn board.
3. replace LAN8720A with W5500 ethernet chip, more stable.
4. fixed RF receiver circuit bug.
5. add DS3231 high-precision RTC clock.
6. support KinCony new cloud service.
7. support KCS v3 support Apple HomeKit and Loxone Miniserver system.
8. add SSD1306 LCD display
9. add SD card to save LOG
10. support KCS v3 newest firmware more powerful functions.

software solution:

1. download KinCony KCS v3 firmware, so that work with multi protocol: HTTP, MQTT, TCP, RS485 modbus, Tuya app (need to buy tuya license), config OUTPUT for "momentary" and "interlock" group functions. "KCS" v3 support IFTTT function work locally without internet. It also support use by KinCony cloud server. KCS v3 support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without any config file for home assistant.

2. download firmware by ESPHome, integrate to home assistant or use by web service.

3. download tasmota firmware.

4. write your own arudino code for your own requirements.

5. It is recommended to use home assistant and Tuya mobile phone app at the same time. So that remote control by internet using Tuya app, local control by LAN using home assistant app.
