Re: Simple switch help

Correct. One side to whichever GPIO pin you choose, the other to ground. It's just completing the circuit when the reed switch closes when the magnet gets close to the switch.

Re: Simple switch help

I've set this up with a reed switch. Here's my settings page from the ESPeasy. http://imgur.com/a/OKmSO I have it set up to send MQTT messages to my broker so when i bring a magnet close to the switch, it closes and fires an MQTT message to my broker and another when I pull the magnet back. That may...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

Thanks moelski! I actually have a solution for the default colors... if I send the MQTT payload with nothing in the space for color, it reverts to the default color. Example "COLOR:2::100". BTW! Do you have an idea why mode 7 doesn't appear to work? It works if I manually change it from th...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

SUCCESS!!! I was able to get it all working except for one small thing. I created a Dashboard in Node-Red that can control all the attributes of the Wifi Candle all by sending formatted MQTT messages when I press the button on the dashboard after i have all the settings that I like. The format for t...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

Thank you very much jjansen. This is definitely progress. Already have a quick success using the HTTP method. Now i'll play with the MQTT examples to see if I can get the syntax right. I just saw some additional comments in the source code of the plugin about MQTT Starting at line 454 Might be usefu...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

Another update on my progress. I've successfully complied and enabled SPIFFS by following Moelski's updated instructions here . The primary difference is that I had to use build 147 versus 120 but i'm fine with that. Next, MQTT... I also compiled and loaded the MQTT Import plugin (and Extra Utilitie...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

ok, so i found the other threads ( here and here ) on problems with compiling with SPIFFS set to true. Like others, by disabling SPIFFS I was able to compile and get it loaded and working on my esp8266 but I would like to solve the mystery of why it won't compile. Additionally and (for me), more imp...

Re: Wifi Candle - illuminate with ESPEasy (WS2812)

I have followed the instructions very carefully and I am getting the following compile error. I've tried it on a PC and on Mac and on Arduino 1.6.5 (i believe) and now on 1.8. PLEASE HELP. I've been beating my head against the wall for 3 hours trying to get this to work. D:\Users\ESPEasy_R120 wplugi...
