Re: BME280 - No I2C devices found

Yes, nothing found. I can do a soft reset and still nothing. Doing a power cycle will bring it back for a bit. I have checked the wires and connection. Nothing obvious there either. Strange. Perhaps a conflict with other devices on I2C? Try it on it's own... I assuming it's dead then. I tried that ...

BME280 - No I2C devices found

I had been using this sensor for several months. Now it loses connection to the I2C bus. It will intermittently start working after a hard reboot, but after 3-5 minutes it's gone. Is it likely the module is dead? I've got an LCD on the I2C bus and it is working fine.

I had to give up on them. Try the BME280. It works really well.

Re: Boot loop rst cause:4, boot mode:(3,6) wdt reset

Try holding reset before powering it up and then send the new firmware. I had to do that a few times when it was stuck. Seems to break it out of it.

R147_RC8

Is anyone having issues with this release? I updated two of my devices and neither one of them is sending data to Thingspeak now. One is a simple switch sensor but it now doesn't register changes in the log.

Re: Sensor delay

Anyone? I turned off reporting on the DHT22 sensor and it seems to have stopped the null entries for my BME280. Can someone please tell me why it would be doing this? Also, which delay take precedence in the system? the one on the config page or the one in the devices page?

Sensor delay

I am sending my data to Thingspeak. The problem is it sends two values about 20 seconds apart. One is legitimate but the other is null. What do I set the delay in the devices tab to vs the main config? I think this is where the issue is.

Re: BME280 not working

Mine was working fine for 2 days. Now this morning it's showing up as the BMP085. I'll try the SDO/ground option later today.

Thanks for the info!

My dht22 works. I'm thinking it's because idx is zero. Assign a number.

LCD and BMP180

I'm trying to connect both an LCD with the I2C backpack and a BMP180 on the SDA/SCL lines. However, it's not working. The module boots up and displays 'ESP Easy' on the screen, but after about two minutes it disappears. The BMP seems to do one reading and then freezes. The LCD was working fine befor...

Thingspeak Data

Does anyone else get their values sent to thingspeak with it enclosed in double quotes? Example: "76.8" rather than just the number? I exported it as csv and was wondering if thingspeak or esp easy is doing this.

Re: Compiling error

I am assuming you moved all of the library files like it says in the Wiki? I had a heck of a time compiling too. I finally uninstalled the Arduino IDE and used the standalone version so my libraries would get pulled correctly. Yes I complete uninstalled and installed 1.6.5 again, installed base64.....

Right, but there isn't a way to make the firmware send all the data at once?

Re: Thingspeak with two devices

I am trying to use two sensors: DHT22 and a DS18B20. I have them working, however the values are sent at different times to Thingspeak. How do I get them to sync to stop all of the null entries in my data?

Re: DHT reading on LCD

I think you need to have the same task name. Try using 'Temp/hum' like you have it named.
