The KinCony KC868-AI is a high-density 48-channel ESP32 input controller designed for large-scale monitoring, data acquisition and automation systems. Built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, it provides opto-isolated dry-contact inputs with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity for reliable integration into structured control panels.

With 48 opto-isolated digital inputs, RS485, dual RS232 ports, IR receiver, 433 MHz RF header, I2C expansion and exposed GPIO, the KC868-AI functions as a flexible frontend input module for Home Assistant, ESPHome, MQTT, Modbus, Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython, and KCS firmware. It is suitable for sensor aggregation, security panels, industrial monitoring and custom ESP32-based control systems.

Use Cases

Large-Scale Input Monitoring

Monitor up to 48 dry-contact inputs from switches, sensors, alarm panels or industrial control lines within a single controller.

Security & Alarm Panels

Aggregate multiple zone inputs for intrusion detection, door contacts, or industrial safety monitoring.

Industrial Data Acquisition

Collect input states from remote devices and forward via Ethernet or RS485 to automation servers or PLC systems.

Custom ESP32 Automation Projects

Use the I2C header and free GPIO pins to expand functionality with displays, sensors or custom modules.
