You dont need pogo pins. Take the male header and solder your wires to the short side (the side that normally passes through the pcb.) Push the other side of the pins into the empty pcb holes. Press lightly on the side of the male header pins while you do the upload, the pressure will make more than...

I use an openhab server, it's quite capable of talking to my mqtt devices. I then can use it's own (relatively secure) online system without me having to expose open sockets to the outside web.

Your gnd is probably a little harder as it is attached to a ground plane (heat wicking) Try cleaning the pad first with a fibreglass brush or something a little abrasive (tiny bit if sandpaper?) There is a pin marked gpio0 on the B1 (well at least in the picture I can find), connect this to gnd. On ...

You have a photo? Oh scrap that, i found one... Does not look hard to solder to, Had a brief glance through the tasmota code, looks like the protocol for the 9231 is very similar to the 9291. The 9231 only requires 48bits of data (16bit x 3 channels) compared to 64bits (16bit x 4 channels) of the 92...

Or just use R120. It works well enough, what new features do you really want? Latest does not always equal best (well in this case)

I received one of these the other day, Sonoff 4CH Pro - 4 Gang Inching/Self-Locking/Interlock WiFi RF Smart Switch (https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-4ch-pro.html?lair&acc=70efdf2ec9b086079795c442636b55fb). I am obviously going to use ESPeasy with it this weekend, but before I did I had a look at it u...

Very good.

One arrived last night, Sadly it does not work straight from the box. I am hoping to retrieve some debug data for it.

It is a very cheap unit, build quality is not especially great.

Do you have a 9v battery? You could try using a slightly lower voltage. The 9v battery will also be pretty clean I would think. http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=373255.0 http://i.imgur.com/jJv4Rae.png All your gnd should be connected together.

I am assuming the units you find in cars are communicating on the can bus. I can pick them up on e-bay for about £6. Thinking about hacking one into a rain sensor.

D15 of the arduino is being used to switch the transmitter on when it is time to transmit. If you want to supply 12v you are going to have to rework the circuit. You could either break the connection to D15 entirely and rewire the VCC to the Vin. This would permanently power the FS1000A. I am not aw...

If you want to collect logs over a period of time why not set up a syslog server. I have one running as a service on my Media PC (which also hosts openhab2 and mosquitto) Through the advanced settings on ESPeasy you can then point the ESPeasy device to the syslog server ip address and set the level ...

These Sonoff devices have an inbuilt sound sensor. I have not written anything with ESPEasy for it yet, but there is firmware out there that gives MQTT output. Should not be too hard to adapt

The seller I got them from has put up the UK price. £45 is way too much. $25 in the US is fairer But shop around on them, The design was originally by Ai Thinker.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GRqNXuH4HI I have created this video of the ZMLink light bulb being flashed with ESPEasy. This bulb was designed by AI and is sold under different brand names.

As far as i can see this adds no issues. I have submitted a pull request to add Par4 and Par5 to the eventStruct.

I have not adjusted the neopixel plugin yet (got a house move going on at the moment). But when I find an led to test I will submit a pull for that as well.

Justblair

Thanks... I thought I had tried that, but I must have miss-remembered.

I am getting the responses through that I was looking for. Looks like I will soon be able to control Ai Lights and (And the dozens of clones)

Just got to check the logic analyser some more to make sure.

I am working on a plugin to add MY9291 (RGBW LED controller) Things are looking good so far, and I seem to be getting the desired results when using http to control the esp8266 (Still to test inside the smart bulb, but logic analyser is looking healthy.

OK....

So I have compiled the code, adding Par4 the way I have suggested.... And I have it working through the http interface.

Cant see any issues with adding the Par4 as before. Can anyone tell me if I have missed something here?

Hi there. I am writing a plugin that hopefully will control a MY9291 equipped rgbw light bulb I have been looking at the Neopixel plugin for inspiration and I have a rough idea how it is working.

The second will be a clone of the Saleae logic analyser. It will run with their excellent software no doubt. The former will require more work to get up and running.

I am using a PIR module with a Sonoff wireless smart switch. https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-wifi-wireless-switch.html I modified the PIR module to bypass its 3.3v power regulator and then connected the PIR sensor to the 3.3v power header in the Sonoff switch.

I have got one now... Was thinking about how to get it to work with ESPEasy. I could connect it up via ser2net and then have Openhab talk directly to it as a serial device.

If you are looking to switch lights or appliances, I would recommend the itead sonoff range of devices.

This is a great piece of hardware for smart home applications. So easy to flash! Itead really go out their way to make the device hackable.

To get it to respond to button presses you need to set up a switch in the devices section. The create a rule that changes gpio when a switch is detected.

I have tried to find the RSSI. The datasheet does not really make it clear as to how you enable the "optional" RSSI I tried opening the metal case up and connecting to one of the pins (I believe it is an analog signal). But I grew frustrated when I could not get any really sensible reading...

You mean home automation project?

I use openhab and am pretty confident that you can talk to ttyAMA0 using the serial binding.. I dont know how the other home auto softwares work. but it seems likely they can too.

Ah sorry, I dont know. I use openhab for my own system...

You could however try just using the serial terminal that you downloaded with the rflink firmware. It will let you hand type commands from your pc.

Justblair

The tx/rx pins on raspi are a hardware serial port. You can talk to it directly on ttyAMA0 if I remember correctly. I don't think you need special software.
