Let's Control It

Ath

Can you test using the neopixel, with LittleFS enabled, build I mentioned before? That uses the latest IDF 5.1 framework, that solves many issues still present in the IDF 4.4 used by non-LittleFS ESP32* builds.

Ath

The neopixel_ESP32s3_4M316k_LittleFS_CDC build should do the trick here. Be aware that the storage is not migrated from the default SPIFFS to LittleFS, so while you can do an in-place upgrade, then all configuration (except WiFi) will be gone! Or just grab an unused board, then you'll loose nothing ;)

Ath

Well, the simplest way to get that going is to use an ESP32 Collection B build (or MAX if you have an ESP32 with 16 MB Flash).

AFAICS, the Custom ESP8266 builds currently also get LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE set, causing the statistics/graphs options to be excluded

Ath

The build you're using doesn't include the statistics collection, so no average values are available

(it's missing the checkboxes to enable that for the Values)

Ath

Definitely! And as soon as you jumped in, it was a little Apple marketing like: „it just works”. 😉 Thanks again to everyone involved! Thanks for the compliments 8-) Well, now I could think about a PCB to make it nice and neat. 🤔 No idea if more people would be interested, but maybe wrap it up this ...

Ath

So this turns out to be a successful project

Ath

What GPIO pin are you using, and does your board have PSRAM on-board? (H4R2 indicates it has 2MB PSRAM, so pins 26..32 should not be used, and also, there is a warning about using ADC2 pins)

Ath

A few check questions:
- Is your NeoPixel powered at 5V?
- Do you have a 3.3V/5V level converter installed between the ESP and NeoPixel?

Ath

Here is ESP Room SmartMonitor V3. This design may give you a reference. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ESP_Room_SmartMonitor_V3_8a9e5a39.html It uses DHT22 (Temperature and humidity sensor) and BH1750 light sensor. For dust sensor, you can use PMSx003 modules. https://espeasy.readthedo...

A small typo, should be "on info#uptime do", the rest of the script is ok.

And having "SendToHTTP wait for ack" enabled will cause similar slowdowns with poor WiFi connections.

It seems that those who use p2p a lot care little about the reliability of the parameters used. Well, we seem to differ in opinion on that then, but that's no problem. Using the P2P connected sensors without issues for a long time, and actively developing on ESPEasy, so if there would have been an ...

We already have 3 Light/Lux sensors supported, P010 - BH1750, P015 - TSL2561 and P074 - TSL2591. Only P015 has RTD documentation available, and P010 has the old Wiki docs available. They don't have a max. lux range comparable to the VEML6030/VEML7700 but are fine sensors, and are available in nearly...

Ath

Are you working on a new plugin with ID P168? As I'm about to assign a number to another planned plugin, but if you are already using that I can also register yours and select the next ID to my planned plugin. Just provide a name and purpose for your plugin.

Ath

ESPEasy supports only 1 MQTT controller to be active at 1 time for sending out data (the first one is used). Simplest alternative is to switch your sensors sending all data to Domoticz from rules, so the Domoticz controller can be disabled, then configure HA Controller configuration during the trans...

Ath

Ah, I got the impression you could calculate the lux from available values, but that's not the case. I've ordered a VEML7700, that appears to be compatible in lux range with the VEML6030 but is quite a bit cheaper :?, and have to check specs if they are also (fully) software-compatible. Any reason f...

Then try:

Code: Select all

Ath

Well, "&deg" is not the way to get that degree symbol shown, you should put the ASCII character 186 there: º
Possibly using {D} could work, don't have a display at hand to test, ATM.

Ath

Of the available fonts, only the Extended ASCII font supports the degree symbol. Depending on the build you're using, this font may or may not be included, you can check that in the Font dropdown list.
The font overview shows what ASCII character to use for making it visible.

Ath

What's special about this sensor that you can't get from either the already supported VEML6040, VEML6070 or VEML6075 ?

In the list of plugins you can see that this plugin is in the Normal plugin set, implying it's available in nearly all builds. For 1MB ESP8266 units, like the ESP01, there is a Normal 1M (_not_ 4M1M !) build available that you can upload.

Ath

You could make that dependent on a GPIO pin (with a switch connected), so it doesn't 'waste' all that energy keeping the AP active, as that uses more energy, also when not needed, as that remote site you won't be visiting often, I assume

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CRYJC3NW/

Have you seen the real-world dimensions of that display? (the images are somewhat misleading, IMHO) It's only 44mm wide, and 56mm high. And with that 480x600 resolution could result in very small text being displayed

Ath

Can you also add possibility to fetch load of selected node? Well, I wasn't sure if that would be useful, but as you're asking for it I've added it. And I also added the Type column value, both numeric and string-converted, that shows the type of chip in the remote unit (not only ESP's... ;)) A new...

For uploading files onto the local file system, there is a button "File browser" (near the bottom of the Tools tab), that has an "Upload" button to add files there. The files have to be on the device where you run the webbrowser. There is a little snag in your intended setup: Aft...

The temperature offset seems consistent for this sensor, as I see a similar delta.

@jgrad I've created pull request #5039 to add the request conversions. The names are somewhat different then requested, as conversions are required to start with "%c_". Quick documentation available in the PR. (Documentation is also updated, and will be deployed on ESPEasy RTD when the PR ...

It seems your browser doesn't download additional files from the cdn (content delivery network) implying that access to the internet (by the browser) is required, sometimes it's enough to do a forced refresh in the browser, if that won't work, you can also upload the .js and .css files to the filesy...

I had in mind that the factory-version will erase all settings.. But that seems not true.. To reset/clear the flash you have to explicitly erase it, either form the Flash Download Tool, the Web Flasher, or by applying the reset command from ESPEasy, but that last one just 'emulates' a wipe by erasi...

The factory.bin includes the bootloader and partitioning data in addition to the sketch (Arduino term), and has to be flashed from address 0x0 on the flash, the non-factory.bin file only includes the sketch, and has to be installed at address 0x10000 (or on the second APP partition, but then the sta...

No progress with uploading the new firmware... After one hour I took off the power. After reboot no sign of live on ethernet of wifi.

The message you have shown is only found in the IMPROV handler, that's why I asked. Most likely you have some unclosed structure, or a missing break somewhere in your code, or are calling some uninitialized class method, that accidentally points somewhere in the IMPROV code :o . The plugin reads a v...

Ath

What does your plugin do to trigger the IMPROV serial handler? Got some 'handle' method that's not bound to a specific class?

Ath

No problem, you can upgrade via the Firmware Update button on the Tools page, as long as you use the same ESP model (C3), Flash layout (4M316k), Filesystem (LittleFS) and ETH feature. But for the C3 there's no Energy build with those features available... Here's a Custom C3 build that does include t...

Ath

The GPIO pins are wired that way, so it's the only way to make it work... For this device you can ignore the warnings.

F.e. GPIO-9 is the pin to pull the device into flash-mode, but in this setup it's used as an output-pin so no issue.

Ath

Well, you got where you wanted to go

but it took some effort...

Once you connect a few more ESP's you get more experienced, so it will go a bit smoother, we've all been there and done that

Ath

Does your browser automatically use https protocol, instead of http ? as https is not (yet) supported by ESPEasy. Euhm, why is port 80..87 blocked on your device? The webserver is available at port 80. Looks like you have some security software running (might be anti-virus or anti-hacking software) ...

How did you upload the binary to the ETH unit, via the Web Flasher or via the Espressif Flash Download tool?

The debug logging has been disabled for ESP8266 Normal builds for a couple of months.

What debug log would you want to see? As not much information in that log level is usable for non-developers

You can not get the JSON output from rules from the same ESP, and you can't process the resulting (large) json-text.

We'll try to add the functions.
