new KinCony F16 Removable OMRON Relay Board For Home Automation Project

KinCony F16 ESP32 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. It have 16 manual control switch buttons can turn ON/OFF relay even if system is broken. 16 channel removable OMRON high-quality relay, 4 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 2 free GPIOs, 4 channel analog input ports. One SD card using SPI bus. KinCony F16 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address and Tuya connection state. F16 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.

Do the manual switches link to the digital inputs, or they manually switch relays on regardless of how digital inputs are configured? If the latter, have you considered using three-way switches with "off | auto | on" settings so that a relay can be manually shut off when some automation has it turned on?
edit: proper dimensions for consumer DIN panel is a great improvement, I will be buying a few

[@KinCony]

manual switch control relay's coin directly, without any software. Do you think when using 10A load, manual control ON/OFF button on relay is safety? i know the three-way switches, just thinking whether dangerous when using large current load, maybe will have contact spark. How do you think?

[@jordannoblet3620]

​@@KinCony Isn't the risk the same when you switch your current 2-way switch from on to off position? I might be misunderstanding you. (i don't know if either scenario has any risk and not qualified to say)

[@sourabhkumawat4863]

when will you upload the schematics? Stunning product😍

[@KinCony]

all hardware resource pin define already in our forum

[@ruimarinho]

Beautiful product! When do you choose these mechanical relays vs solid state ones?

[@KinCony]

do you like solid state relay board?

[@ruimarinho]

@@KinCony I am used to Shelly products that use SSR and would like to understand where these mechanical relays are a good fit. However, given the size of circuits I have, I need something for professional and robust like Kincony products!

[@KinCony]

@@ruimarinho thanks for suggestion. maybe use SSR will smaller size , so that save space.

[@jordannoblet3620]

@@ruimarinho I think most SSR are suitable for switching AC loads only, which works for most Shelly products. They can still fail, so I think replaceable Omron relays are better in most scenarios (where you have a single board with 16 switching loads)

[@sourabhkumawat4863]

@@ruimarinho mechanical relays are cheap and available in variety of options upto 4 NO/NCs in single relay. also some of them have mechanical button on them for testing purposes. but downside of using them is that they are inductive loads and hence they need a freewheeling diode for safety and inductive loads are bad for noisy environments. SSRs on the other hand require very low Coil power to trigger and don't create much of noise on the controlling side but they are a little expensive and don't offer many switching options.

Almost perfect. Why is there not one kincony relay board with all removable terminals? What use are the removable input terminals if you can not remove the live wires in a safe way on the relay contact side.

[@KinCony]

Because the high-voltage circuit uses pluggable terminals, which may cause poor contact and pose a certain degree of danger, we have adopted pluggable terminals for low-voltage circuits.

[@krismaddens3030]

@@KinCony What is wrong with a decent MVSTBR 2,5 HC/ 8-ST - PCB phoenixcontact connector, sure the connector that is used now is for sure not rated for higher current than the pluggable alternative. And if you strip a screw you are screwed :) and can start soldering new terminals.

[@KinCony]

@@krismaddens3030 ok, maybe in furture try to use it.

[@nighteyergbg]

Do you know if there is a German community that uses your products?

[@KinCony]

the biggest community is home assistant. we have many user play with home assistant.

[@diyk-h-m2423]

Perfect kincony. Can you tell me why use NTC on power line input thanks for sharing video.

[@KinCony]

When 12v or 24V load power supplies are connected in parallel, surges may sometimes occur, and NTC devices have anti-interference properties.

[@diyk-h-m2423]

Yes, thank you very much for answering my question.

[@lionlion-g9d]

Perfect kincony

[@KinCony]

thanks

[@anthonymiller3225]

can SSR relays be used?

[@KinCony]

maybe in furture we will design board with SSR. But SSR relay only use for AC load, can't use for DC load.
