Let's Control It

mrwee

Which ESP board are you using?

The YX5300 needs it's own SD card. I had problems with certain models, so make sure that part works before you troubleshoot elsewhere.

mrwee

Got it! Thanks :) To be on the (future expansions) safe side, I'm considering powering the circuit with 12V (the solinoid valve runs on 12V), and having 5V and 3.3V step-downs, each capable of ~2A to supply e.g. D1 Mini pro, ADS1115, sensors/relays etc.. I've searched on Aliexpress for applicable re...

mrwee

@ThomasB: You seem to have a good insight into designing the electronics. If I power some DS18B20's with 5V, I assume that I also need a level converter for the GPIO?

mrwee

Thank you Thomas. I think I've got the circuit layed out as per your suggestions. Now I need to sleep on it, just in case new ideas come up

mrwee

Thanks for your reply ThomasB, 1) I did consult the pin mapping guide, but I lack a clear explanation of which "applications" are suitable for each GPIO. But your suggestion to use ADS1115 is the way to go, so I've added that. 2) For the voltage converter, I've chosen a BC547, again based on your in...

Hi Guys, I've begun designing an automatic watering system for our garden, based on ESPEasy (of course :D :D ) The overall design will include: 1 x Wemos D1 Mini Pro 2.0 2 x https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/HL-YFB10-Water-Flow-Sensor-Hall_60806958258.html Water Flow sensors for measuring consu...

mrwee

Update: re-flashed to mega-20200204 and moved to GPIO-14. Seems to work like a charm! Thanks for the hint

mrwee

Good input, thanks. Will try another GPIO. They should be the real thing, as they're bought from an official shop.

mrwee

I am also struggling with DS18x20 sensors. Setup: Official Wemos D1 Mini Pro 2.0 6 x DS18S20 on 1,2m twisted cable DS18S20 are connected to GPIO-16 Powering D1 Mini Pro via USB (Have also tried 5V) DS18S20 are 3,3V powered from the Mini Pro Resister for DS18S20 is 4,7K Mega 20191208, pre-built bin F...

mrwee

Seems like a clever tool. Will also test

mrwee

Does the cars already have a 230V heater installed?

mrwee

Ok, that really sounds like a brilliant solution and will clearly remove a lot of the burden from each device making room for lots of fun :D. It is also great that the future (easily) supports ESP82xxx and ESP32, that makes it much more versatile and ready when ESP32 "takes over". Really looking for...

mrwee

.....but I think by the end of next year we may have shifted focus to ESP32 as it does give a lot more resources. I understand that the possibilities in ESP32 is more fun, but considering the fact that most "Wi-Fi IoT" devices are based on ESP82xx, you vill be loosing out on a huge market potential...

mrwee

No, sorry. Misread your post. Will check with 20190928 not 20191028

.
It won't be until sometime this weekend, as I'm traveling the next couple of days.

mrwee

Just to be sure it is not your bug, or maybe one of mine. You could test with the build (or sources) of 20190928. I changed a lot last month regarding the rules and there have been some reports of rules misbehaving. That's the version I'm currently running on, with the 24 task modification. Serial ...

mrwee

Just enabled debug log, it does fire the rule but nothing actually get's published. Will dig deeper

mrwee

Spoke too soon. Doesn't seem like rules are working. On MQTT#Connected do Publish %sysname%/IP,%ip% Publish IP/%sysname%,%ip% timerSet,1,300 endon On Rules#Timer=1 do Publish %sysname%/IP,%ip% Publish %sysname%/Uptime,%c_m2dhm%(%uptime%) Publish IP/%sysname%,%ip% Publish Uptime/%sysname%,%c_m2dhm%(%...

mrwee

Brilliant! Tried it, and I got 24 x tasks. Have been looking for this change in ESPEasy for a long time. I got one compile warning: "WARNING: library LiquidCrystal_I2C claims to run on avr architecture(s) and may be incompatible with your current board which runs on esp8266 architecture(s)", but it ...

mrwee

Just a small comment. It's best practice NOT to have a leading '/' when using MQTT. It should be changed in the default settings of ESPEasy.

mrwee

Original Wemos?

mrwee

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...

mrwee

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
