Keypad support
Does anyone has plans to create a keypad application?
Something that supports a keypad like this one: http://www.dx.com/p/diy-3-x-4-12-key-nu ... ack-150134
When entering a code of a certain length it should be send to the (domotics) server for further processing.
Maybe i'll code this myself if nobody else has any plans for it yet.
(maybe there are better keypads that support i2c as well to safe IO pins)

Another home made captive keypad that would be interesting to support: https://wiki.techinc.nl/index.php/Matrixpad
Re: Keypad support
The first one does have a gpio connection per X and Y-axis, connect each one to a separate gpio as input.psy0rz wrote:Does anyone has plans to create a keypad application?

Then you could write rules for it? (did not try this yet, just helping to think about)
if gpiox and gpioy > key1
...
after creating correct keycombination > send http req to domoticz?
Located in Belgium, Bruges. Working on a full DIY domoticz setup with ESPEasy.
Re: Keypad support
This http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Keypad should be good starting point. Probably its easier to write your own plugin based on the Keypad librarypsy0rz wrote:i dont think thats possible.

Re: Keypad support
Thanks i will look into it. I see a lot of open pull requests and there was a post from october or something, saying we should not make any new pull requests. (until after the next release)
Any news on that?

you could use an arduino nano to read the keypad with lib, link arduino to esp via serial and send value to dummy device with taskvalueset via serialprint in arduino. a bit more hardware @roughly 5€vs hours of developping software

@psy0rz
Did you get any further? I'm just trying to get one of those keypads to works with I2C (PCF8574A), but having some trouble. Have a look here for details.Maybe i'll code this myself if nobody else has any plans for it yet.

Note: The I2C LED matric controller HT16K33 supports also a 13x3 keyboard matrix.

Re: Keypad support
not sure if the right place, but I've seen few plugins in the playgournd supporting keypad units/IC....
those plugins (asaik) handle only one key-press, while a typical usage of those keypad is to "enter codes", so would it be possible to have the plugin to handle this feature?
maybe defining the lenght of the code to be dialled in and/or a confirmation key to be pressed which generates the code as an output of the plugin?
