How many 1p power meter can be connected with A16 using rs485 ? Can we connect more than 2 power meter of different phases of kincony with one rs485 port of a16 or we only one rs485 port support only one power meter ? Nice video Thanks 👍 keep it up 🙂

[@KinCony]

sure, you can connect together, because every meter have different rs485 address, MAX support 254 devices by one RS485 port.

Great video. Can you do a new video showing a modbus light switch?

[@KinCony]

two days ago have made modbus relay board, your light switch is same. you can see that video.

[@aslanfpv7076]

Hello Great video thanks. Can you help me? How can i change the address of the slave if i have more than one slave on the modbus? How to use ESPhome for this once step? thank you

[@KinCony]

slave energy meter have change address modbus command. that can set by USB-RS485 adapter. just use PC send command to energy meter by RS485. ESPHome yaml set the different address for different slave device.

Kincony doesn't produce Electric energy meters any more? Can't find them.

[@KinCony]

M16v2, M30 board all are energy meter board.

[@martinspukitis1954]

@@KinCony These two are an overkill. I was looking for 1-3 phase AC meter, like kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnbZgH5ph5ZlocU

[@joramotorsportteam3277]

a4 board . Where is a place to connect Modbus RS485?

[@KinCony]

A4 no RS485 interface. A4S have RS485 interface.

How to make it work with KC868-Server RS485? Where I can find the tr_pin and rx_pin for that controller?

[@KinCony]

you can find pin define of KC868-Server by diagram link: www.kincony.com/forum/attachment.php?aid=846

[@sebagarayco]

@@KinCony trying to figure out but don’t understand the diagram. Could you mention PIN number for rs485 ports in KC868 Server (CM4+eMMc)? Thank you

[@KinCony]

CM4 IO14,IO15 use for RS485@@sebagarayco

I want to a make a home automation for my home. So that I am decide to control all the bulbs and fans through the home assistant or phone. I am not connect all relays and senaor through the wifi network because my home is big. Wifi range is to small for my home automation. So that I am decide to implement modbus for connect all relays and sensor. I thing Modbus is more reliable and easy to implement because the wired connection. I want to connect 10 node. Each nodes contains or hold the few relays and some sensor such as temp and humidity CT sensors mmwave sensor motion sensor. And each nodes connect through each other. And last node is finally connected to think client or Ressbery pi which is operated home assistant os. Please solve my problem and give the feedback

[@KinCony]

i suggest you let all device work by ethernet, use home assistant software.

[@iotprojecthindi]

@@KinCony it is good option but of i go to Ethernet cable it become more expensive

[@RasOtomasi]

Can this method be used for kc868-server (raspberry)?

[@KinCony]

sure , just connect to server's RS485 port, edit configuration.yaml of home assistant

[@RasOtomasi]

@@KinCony can you please provide a video tutorial for the kc868 server version

almost same, just change serial port RXD,TXD pin define.@@RasOtomasi
