Related to DST.
My version is R146, at this moment just for experiments, not yet for 'serious' application.
Apperently need to upgrade ......

Re: Feature Request collection/list
About DST I'd like to have the possibility to turn it on/off via rules, so it will be easy to have a global MQTT command sent from my server to all nodes to react on DST setting.
What I mean is that I'd like a way to turn DST ON or OFF on all my ESPEasy devices at same time, as it's pointless to have some only, and it's quite annoying to cycle trough all of them 2 times a year.
As well I'm puzzled how the DST should be changed in devices with Deep-Sleep enabled (I don't have any at the moment as I've only experiment with this feature a while ago but not yet used in my real setup)

Re: Feature Request collection/list
To be honest, that seems like strange feature to me. In my mind NTP incl. DST should work automatically without any user-interaction just like any other NTP enabled device. When your device is in deep-sleep, it deep-sleeps and do not get any DST update. An NTP update should be performed when it takes up.papperone wrote: ↑30 Mar 2017, 08:10 About DST I'd like to have the possibility to turn it on/off via rules, so it will be easy to have a global MQTT command sent from my server to all nodes to react on DST setting.

Re: Feature Request collection/list
NTP does not carry DST info as these may vary depending on your country, as it's not starting/ending on the same day across the world and some countries does not even have the DST by law!mrwee wrote: ↑30 Mar 2017, 08:20To be honest, that seems like strange feature to me.

So I woudl prefer to control it as I described below as my MQTT Raspberry server is already setup with DST properly and thus I won't overload ESPEasy code to implement full world-wide DST code!

Re: Feature Request collection/list
I've now come to change my idea about this request with NTP with DST. I simply followed this guide:
https://www.interfacett.com/blogs/creat ... r-windows/
And I now have my MQTT broker and NTP server locally as the same computer and this will work with the DST built into Windows. Problem solved. Just to be sure to have my Windows computer sync with a internet NTP server (I do this with http://www.timesynctool.com/).

Re: Feature Request collection/list: A4988 stepper motor driver module

https://www.pololu.com/product/1182
Simple control:
- select direction (DIR pin)
- give a number of pulses (STEP pin)
(also applicable for DRV8825, DRV8834 and generic two-pin (DIR/STEP) stepper motor drivers)
Cost €0.73, bought here:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs-lot ... Title=true
- the A4988 has a translator for step modes: one pulse,one step.
- select 1 out of 5 step modes (I suggest a hardwired choice: selector inputs pin MS1, MS2, and MS3)
- the Vreff adjustment enables Voltage/Current limitation to adapt to different stepper motors.
There is an AccelStepper library for Arduino
with automatic acceleration and de-acceleration capabilities.
This would be a great contribution to the ESPEasy Actuators capability !
Thank in advance,
Domosapiens

Re: Feature Request collection/list
Feature-Request: Bridge betwen atmega/arduino/other microcontroller to domoticz via espeasy reading from uart.
Sending from microcontroller named values like
wind=value,gust=value,winddir=value\n
rain=vaule\n
lux=value\n
uv=value\n
lightning=value\n
or any other named value defined by field name and parsed from uart to domoticz idx device.
Of course with ability to deepsleep for minute or more, source device will send values over and over again every one second and esp will wake, read values and send it to domo and go to sleep.
This feature have great potential, from weather stations based on sensor like this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8942 to complex usage with hand made custom solutions.
Or simply please add sparcfun weather station based on documentation to this sensors provided from sparcfun .
With esp going to deepsleep to save battery power there is no option for counting gust or rain properly and for that is my idea to read it from uart.

Re: Feature Request collection/list
Feature-Request: Feature request - "RPM Task" plugin
Hello,
it would be nice to have a RPM Task (or tachometer or speedmeter) (RPM = Revolutions Per Minute)
I tried some things here:
viewtopic.php?t=3476
But in the end it does not really work very accurate.
It would be great to count the pulses for 60 seconds, then use this value as output and reset the counter to zero to start the procedure again.
One rpm value every 60 seconds (or adjustable period) would be sufficient.
for example:
after 60 seconds: output is "3994" rpm
after 120 seconds: output is "3995" rpm
after 180 seconds: output is "3991" rpm
after 240 seconds: output is "3993" rpm
and so on
Maybe this should be a new task or an enhancement of the existing counter task.
Thanks for your support and this great software!
best regards,
Chris

Re: Feature Request collection/list
I think you will need some external counter which you can read out after some interval.
Perhaps even 2 counters, of which one has a known frequency connected to the count input pin.
Then you can trigger the "count enable" (after reset count) and after some time trigger both counters to disable counting and then read both counted values.
Otherwise it is really hard to make the ESP chip trigger at an exact interval and thus the counted frequency will fluctuate a lot.
That's probably the only way to somewhat accurate count the frequency.
I guess there must exist several I2C chips that allow to count external pulses and read the counters via I2C.
Edit:
Perhaps this chip can be used for your usecase: http://www.horter.de/doku/PCF8583_NXP.pdf
You can program it to signal an output line after a fixed number of input triggers.
So as a test run you can set it to a low count first to get an initial value (measure time between pulses output by this chip) and then increase the set value in the counter-IC to get an interval which can be measured with sufficient accuracy.
e.g. once every second.
In other words, you can set it to act as a predefined frequency downscaler.

Feature request - sensor values on main page
I have 12 espeasy devices in and around the house and I would like to have the readings on main page because I would like to be able to just click on the listed unit's name and see the values on that device without navigating to devices page.
If this is not in the todo list I would like to know where and how the values and value names are stored and since I have a a little bit more than the basic knowledge of coding I would like to try to solve this by myself.

Re: Feature Request collection/list
I second that. With the R-Pi type 3 there is a BT function, but since BT does not carry very far, it would be much better to enable a sensor on ESPEasy! (My R-Pi is located in my office two floors upstairs, with RFLink/LAN in the living room so I can cover the devices)tozett wrote: ↑22 Aug 2016, 09:27 Bluetooth enable / Presence detection

Re: Feature Request collection/list
Have you tried just opening the device on the devices tab rather than on main? http://192.168.1.5/devices should work, with your device ip of course.sasso wrote: ↑09 Sep 2017, 21:06 Feature request - sensor values on main page

Alternatively, use mosquitto & nodered to put the readings of all your devices on one page. Charts & graphs are possible too. I run both and more on a raspberry pi 3.

Hi
I would like if support for the PZEM-004T energy monitor would be added to espeasy. There used to be a plugin available in the playground that used to work with previous releases but the serial library have been all messed up and now there is no way to compile with this plugin
thanks
