KinCony F8 8CH ESP32-S3 Removable Relay board

KinCony F8 ESP32 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. It have 8 manual control switch buttons can turn ON/OFF relay even if system is broken. 8 channel removable OMRON high-quality relay, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 1 free GPIOs, 4 channel analog input ports. One SD card using SPI bus. KinCony F8 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and Tuya connection state. F8 have RS485 port and RF433MHz RF receiver. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. F8 use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. F8 support Apple HomeKit, easy to use directly. Support save state LOG to SD Card. It use by local RTC clock, use timer work without internet. F8 support to use KinCony cloud server service, so that you can remote control and monitor your device by internet using mobile phone or computer web browser. note: (buy from KinCony Official Shop have KinCony cloud server 2 years free)

Inputs:
2CH analog input DC0-5V (A1,A2) 2CH analog input 4-20mA (A3,A4)
8CH dry contact inputs (optocoupler isolation, long distance circuit for MAX 500 meters cable)
3 buttons: 1:ESP32 Reset 2:ESP32 Download 3:Tuya config
1-Wire GPIO: 4CH (with pull-up resistance on PCB)
free GPIO: 1CH (without pull-up resistance on PCB, connect with ESP32 pin directly)
RF receiver socket: 433MHz RF receiver

software solution:

1. download KinCony KCS firmware, so that work with multi protocol: HTTP, MQTT, TCP, RS485 modbus, Tuya app, config OUTPUT for “momentary” and “interlock” group functions. use Tuya mobile phone app directly, support voice control by Alexa and Google home speaker directly. “KCS” 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 Arduino 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
