convert familamp to esp easy

#1 Post by bobbybeans » 30 Mar 2017, 12:11

Hey guys
I found this project before chirstmas and I have it all setup with my 2 particle photons that I had laying around doing nothing
https://github.com/Here-Be-Dragons/familamp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUX5NEsEXrw

got it functioning great with those
they use the publish and subscribe of similar to mqtt
however.... they are 20£ each which is way to expensive for me if I want to make more than 2. I know that money is not really going to the chip its going to the constant dev and the web IDE. However evetually I see them moving on from this (maybe) and these will be useless as they no longer would support them and would want you to buy their new products. I digress.
What I would like to do is take this idea and implement it into esp easy I believe this can be done as MQTT is already built into it. and there are neopixel plugins already like P_101,P_117,P_121,P_122,P_123
The only thing different I believe is I would have to do is setup node red to react with scripts and telling the esp's to change color instead of the esp to do the processing. the reason I would do this instead of having the ESP process it is, I suck hard at coding
I am rambling sorry but here is my question/problem now

I compiled esp r148 with P117. I had to change some items within the code of that plugin as it look like it used to be labelled P_110. got it to compile and flashed it setup the plugin. But now I don't know what commands to issuse it example 192.168.0.50/control?cmd=neo,10,25,25,25
All references I can find on this forum are for the wifi candle that is in progress and I tried looking through the code but couldn't find any comment (and I'm terrible at coding)

does anyone know what the commands are for this plugin? or should I be using the wifi candle one and issue commands to it ?
or does anybody want to help me converting it? as I want to make many of these for my family

if you want to do development, it would be best to start with latest git version: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy (mega branch)

to see the commands a plugin support have a look at the following position in the code:

Code: Select all

case PLUGIN_WRITE:
you can see an example here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 2.ino#L110

WoW. Nice project concept this is.
I have previously ported few Photon projects to ESP8266,
and let me tell you it was somewhat hard the first time I did it for a medium complexity project.
So you can contact me if you are still looking for someone to get the job done :)
