Re: How to correctly set up input / output pins in a plugin (changes during the last few months)?

Thanks for the confirmation. Yesterday night, I took another look at my code and at the P001_Switch code. I also suspected that these data structures are not really required for the plugin itself to work properly, so I tried removing all traces of them (https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasyPlugin...

How to correctly set up input / output pins in a plugin (changes during the last few months)?

Hello, I'm currently trying to update a plugin to the latest espeasy mega branch. My plugin (P198_Venta) uses 6 input pins and 3 output pins. Last year, I was simply using the following code (stripped down to a minimal example) in PLUGIN_INIT: pinMode(cfg.pwr_led, INPUT); // PWR LED pinMode(cfg.pwr_...

Let plugins provide custom UI control pages (HTML forms / Javascript)?

Is there any way in ESPEasy to let plugins provide a nice GUI (separate from the ESPEasy config pages)? I have a plugin for our humidifier, which can now be remote-controlled through OpenHAB and its GUI. However, it would make much more sense to me if the ESPEasy itself could provide a nice GUI to c...

Re: Is it possible to parse RFLink string or MQTT message in ESPEasy Rules?

If you want to develop something yourself, you can use my rflink-mqtt bridge plugin (available in the plugin playground) as a starting point: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasyPluginPlayground/blob/master/_P197_RFLink_MQTT_Bridge.ino It contains code to convert the RFLink message to a JSON obj...

Re: can ESPEasy be used as MQTT Gateway for RFLink ?

FWIW, I have now implemented an RFLink to MQTT bridge plugin for ESPEasy. It can be found as P197 in the ESPEasyPluginPlayground on GitHub: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasyPluginPlayground/blob/master/_P197_RFLink_MQTT_Bridge.ino It basically combines ESPEasy's ser2net serial bridge plugin w...

Using ESPEasy to add WiFi connectivity to a Venta LW45 humidifier

In our appartment, we have an old-school Venta LW45 humidifier, which I wanted to connect to my smart home controller (OpenHAB). So I designed a nice interface PCB with an ESP8266-12 module to fully control the humidifier wirelessly. Further details can be found in my blog: http://wiki.kainhofer.com...

Re: RF link new PCB

I also built the shield with the ESP-01 and it works fine with one caveat : the pcb versions available for download forgot to connect the 3V3, 5V and GND pins of the level shifters for the ESP. I manually soldered some wires torn the voltage regulators to make it work just fine. I also connected the...

Re: normal switch without real function?

You need to add a pull-up or pull-down resistor, which ties the otherwise floating state of an unconnected pin to either HIGH or LOW. Of course, you can't distinguish between unconnected and switch open then.

Re: How to create new plugin/protocol?

I think, you need to add the new controller to the CONTROLLER_SET_* section in src/define_plugin_sets.h, otherwise the #ifdef USES_C0... will exclude your plugin from being compiles... The compiler will automatically pick up all .ino files in the directory, but the #ifdef precompiler command might e...

Re: mqtt import disabled on reboot?

I ran into this problem with my own custom plugin, which I'm currently developing and which is based on the mqtt import plugin. I tracked the issue down to the MQTT subscription function, thanks to the EspStackTraceDecoder. It appears that trying to access the first enabled mqtt controller in PLUGIN...

Re: WeMOS Mega + WiFi R3 ATmega2560 + ESP8266 USB-TTL

I'm using a copy of Phil Whilson's rflink-to-mqtt code: https://github.com/kainhofer/rflink-to-mqtt Compared to Phil's original version (https://github.com/Phileep/rflink-to-mqtt), I had to change some things to make it work with the WeMOS Megat+ESP8266 board.

There is now a PCB design available for an RFLink shield in the EasyDomoticz forum: https://easydomoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4068 I built the second (larger) version with the two 433MHz RX/TX and antennas and the nrf24l01.

Re: CC1101

Is there any ETA for the CC1101-support in RFLink? I'd like to have both a 433MHz OOK receiver as well as a CC1101 for 868MHz on the same RFLink device and a nrf24l01 for MySensors and MiLight. Will this setup work in the next release? Will we also get the source code of the latest version with CC11...
