I'm back at this and still confused. Shouldn't I be able to use all available GPIO pins as inputs? I've removed the reservations for serial communications and i2c and freed those pins. Unfortunately I've found that only some of them work as inputs as when I connect them to ground most do nothing and...

I'm thoroughly confused! I've got a node mcu and I can get it to read GPIO16 as a switch by connecting that pin (D0) to ground. It will show a 1 for the switch value. I cannot get this to work for any other pin other than GPIO16! Any idea what is going on? Also, GPIO pins 1,3,4,5 are all greyed out ...

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 ma...

Guys, can someone point me to a schematic for connecting a simple switch (I want to use a reed switch) and how to configure it? Do I just connect one side of the switch to GPIO and the other to ground? Do I need to set up the GPIO as an input? Do I need invert/pull up enabled? I've played with this ...

I'm working on a little device to give to a friend of mine. I built it and it works great. I brought it outside of my network and I see the ESP_0 device on wifi and connect to it. After that I cannot pull up the page that let's you assign the network it should join. I tried yahoo.com thinking it wou...

I've managed to get this to work but I am having a different problem. I was tinkering around with my IR LEDs as I thought that one I was using was not working. I pulled the suspected bad LED and replaced it. Suddenly it started working. I excitedly pulled power and moved the device next to the devic...

Continuing my discussion in a more appropriate place. I am trying to set up the new IR transmitter and am not getting any output. I am using an ESP-01. That device uses GPIO1 tied to ground to go into programming mode. I've specifically used GPIO2 to avoid this problem. The chip boots just fine and ...

Pulling GPIO2 low with a LED is wrong, you should try to connect the led (with a current limiting resistor ! ) between Vcc and GPIO2. Or better do not use GPIO2 at all and use f.i. GPIO4 When GPIO2 is pulled low during start-up the ESP8266 will not boot-up with ESPEasy but in another sort of mode. ...

R124 is available on github. We've done some code optimization to controllers for ThingSpeak, OpenHAB, PiDome and Generic HTTP. A new controller for generic UDP has been added. The dummy device can now send all 4 values on some generic controllers. The IR TX plugin from the playground has been adde...

Hey guys. Just discovering the ESP8266 and ESPeasy and boy is it awesome! I'm using the ESP-01 with MQTT to OpenHab sending temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor. Forgive me if this has been asked/published but I didn't find it. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a rule to check new re...
