Let's Control It

I do think it's better than an AC relay at least. Maybe a solidstate variant is a better choice. But yes, always take your precautions when working with mains, it can kill

mrwee

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3282824 ... 4c4djFFY1n is much better than using a relay. I'm using it to detect 230V presence and it works fine.

mrwee

The green LED is physically connected together with the relay to GPIO12. So remove the LED or put something black over it.

mrwee

+1. Great work!

mrwee

Your rule is only needed if you wish to switch the relay by button or other means. My examples take the published status coming from ESP Easy and updates your switch according to the status. If you enable "Interval" under the relevant device on ESP Easy and set it to e.g. 10 seconds, it will publish...

mrwee

This is one of my switches, using the new format: things file Thing topic TestLight "TestLight" @ "Test devices" { Channels: Type switch : command "Power Switch" [ commandTopic="TestLight/gpio/12", stateTopic="TestLight/Relay/Switch", on="1", off="0", autoupdate="false" ] } items file Switch TestLig...

mrwee

Use my example for switching on / off + getting status back from the device. The new MQTT binding (https://www.openhab.org/blog/2018-12-16-mqtt-arrives-in-the-modern-openhab-2-x-architecture.html) in openHAB brings the possibility of auto-discovery, increased stability and many other things. But for...

Just took a look at my old 1.x MQTT config in OH, and these were my settings for an Sonoff Basic with ESPEasy: device.items Switch Nano "Nano" <light> [ "Lighting" ] {mqtt=">[mosquitto:Nano/gpio/12:command:ON:1.00],>[mosquitto:Nano/gpio/12:command:OFF:0.00],<[mosquitto:Nano/gpio/12:state:MAP(onoff.m...

mrwee

Which openhab version are you on?

Also note, that it's against best practice to have a leading '/' in the subscribe/publish settings. It still works, if configured correctly it's just best to avoid

mrwee

@grovkillen: I think you need to do more advertising / publishing news on the development status, if you wish to get more people to contribute. It feel pretty quiet considering you're in need of funding. I'm sure there's many people out there (including myself) who would love to see ESPeasy suceed, ...

mrwee

Personally I'm fine with people selling stuff here, but it would be a good idea with a sub-forum.

mrwee

Hopefully it will come. Let the guys do their thing in improving quality & structure. You can always re-flash when time comes

mrwee

Dummy variable which is checked before sending e-mails, and set when the <5 degree is triggered. Consider what should reset it again? 10 degrees or ?

The Wiki is your friend, in terms of how to do it

mrwee

Having had a huge 1-wire network, I learned the hard way, that 1-wire is not designed for long cable-runs, thus one should use twisted-pair cables, minimize number of connectors and avoid running 1w cables in parallel with mains cables.

mrwee

Is your cable twisted pair? That minimizes noise on long 1w cables. 7m should normally not be an issue

mrwee

Which program did you use to make the PCB? Would like to try and make a ESP8266 "motherboard" myself

mrwee

I can't see the images

mrwee

I also have an S20 which flashes fine (Blank + ESP_Easy_mega-20180524_normal_ESP8285_1024.bin), boots, can configure Wi-Fi via seriel, but it never connects to Wi-Fi. Will try Tasmota or Espurna to see if there's a difference.

mrwee

It's a very interesting project, and indeed I've been looking for such a solution. Will test when I get a little time on my hands

mrwee

ok, eagerly awaiting for stable versions

mrwee

ok, seems like ESP32 is the way to go. Just ordered a couple, then I'll see.

mrwee

Hi,

Sorry for not being detailed enough, I only need inputs.

mrwee

Hi, I'm currently working on an ESP project where I'll need 16 or 24 GPIO inputs. Knowing that ESP Easy has a max. of 12 tasks/devices, I was just wondering of those who modded the source-code to support more, are experiencing any issues, or if there is another project out there, which can cope with...

mrwee

I'm running Mosquitto on a virtual Windows 10 PC together with Openhab. You could try using a MQTT client on your own PC and listen to the same topics as your ESP8266 device. Then you'll get an idea of where the delay is. You can also publish from most clients (Use https://mqttfx.jensd.de/ myself). ...

mrwee

Running MQTT from Openhab towards quite a lot of ESPEasy's. They all switch almost instantaneous, so maybe your problem is with the broker?

mrwee

This runs on 5-24V input voltage, no need for 230V: https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-sv.html

mrwee

Don't know this board, but why not "just" a Sonoff? Well proven and inexpensive.

mrwee

I can't remember if it was Tinkerman or if it was noted on the Tasmota / Espurna websites. As you state, it might have been an early version. But good that it's no longer the case

mrwee

Have you made sure that none of these are connected to mains when the S20 is powered on? Think I've read that there's no insulation between LIVE and 3.3V/GND

mrwee

Received mine today. Already flashed two Sonoff's - Working great

mrwee

YAY! Thx a lot! Just signed up as Patron as well

mrwee

I really like the flexibility of ESP Easy: - Lots of hardware devices supported - Possibility of adding plugins - Making the device act as I would like it, locally (Rules) - Good network configuration (WiFi, NTP, fixed/ dynamic IP etc.) - Good support for different controllers - Stable - Good commun...

mrwee

I think you guys are doing a fantastic job and it's very clear that the quality of ESP Easy is rapidly increasing by the minute. From my point-of-view it's by far the best overall platform for the ESP8266 series. I'd gladly support you guys. However I don't need a t-shirt or anything else back, just...

mrwee

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to add the 'detach feature' as e.g. a command in ESP Easy? I'm not capable of changing the source-code and re-compiling, so it would be a nice addition

mrwee

An option to define 'fallback' would be even greater. I have no use for AP mode, as all ESP devices are controlled by openhab/MQTT, so if my Wi-Fi goes down, I'd prefer espeasy to try and reconnect continuously. Maybe if the AP passphrase is left empty, then AP fallback mode is disabled, if it's fil...

mrwee

Thanks for your help guys. With the aid of verified versions, I discovered that the SD card was incompatible with the YX5300 player. I also found the LED on the player, which should light up when ready. Mine didn't

.
Switching to another SD card made everything work

mrwee

I might be blind, but I can't find that plugin in the 'mega-20180119' TEST BIN. Trying to compile it myself, throws tons of errors...

I experienced a lot of wifi disconnects and connects.
why is ESP often get disconnected and reconnecting?

Have ~20-30 x ESP8266 modules running. Most with ESP Easy, and none disconnect/connect from either Wi-Fi nor MQTT. Maybe you should troubleshoot there first?

mrwee

Yes, I did use the 'test' version and the plugin was available. But nothing happened when I executed the command. I'll see if I can compile the version you're referring to, unless I'm so lucky that you have a .bin file?

You should try an older version.

Just to minimize troubleshooting, which version do you have it working on? (If I'm lucky, perhaps you also have a .bin file?)

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/MP3_player working? I've tried it on 'mega-20180524', connected RX on the YX5300 to TX on a D1 mini. Plugin configured to use GPIO-1 (D10), serial port disabled under 'Advanced'. SD card is FAT32 formatted with a couple of...

mrwee

Maybe you should add a timer / delay, so in case of issues the ESP doesn't reboot all the time.

mrwee

According to the WiKi:

https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... rial_Rules

you should use:

Code: Select all

on MQTT#Disconnected do
Reboot
endon

mrwee

May I suggest that you start with: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_ESPEasy_Firmware_Upload. There are plenty of instructions on the WiKi and in this forum. I would suggest that you try the latest firmware found here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases (Incl. .BIN...

mrwee

I would very much recommend that you try ESP Easy instead. Tasmota has some nice features, but is nowhere as flexible as ESP Easy. To my knowledge Tasmota does not have built-in support for timers either, this must be handled externally via e.g. MQTT.

mrwee

Just downloaded & flashed the latest build as was simply blown away! It's a huge improvement with lots of great new features & nicer design. You guys have really done a huge effort in bringin ESP Easy forward! Keep up the good work

mrwee

As long as you ensure the backup solution handles spikes etc.

mrwee

Could easily be the power dip. If WiFi is crusial to you, you should put the router on an UPS. They usually handle spikes under-/overpower very well. Have all my AP's on UPS

mrwee

Well, the list of 'why' (in my view) is long :) You can setup simple -> complicated rules to control your home openHAB can integrate to a lot of other devices than espeasy There's ready apps for Android & iOS You decide how to communicate with espeasy devices (e.g. HTTP or MQTT) You can send multipl...

mrwee

You could use openHAB, which has both iOS and Android apps. Does require the server part to run somewhere though
