Make that 5 months. Really?

Missing values appears to be an issue with the DHT22. I have seen it mentioned in several temp/humidity sensor related posts on the internet (don't have any specific references).

bluejedi

yeah, all this would be nice, but due to current limits of the hardware NOT possible, to few ram, as stated on the wiki: Do NOT expose the ESP Easy web interface directly to the internet, always make sure that the web interface is only reachable from "trusted/local" networks! Latter state...

Last week I was testing some ESP-01 devices with ESPEasy 2.x and ran into the following problem (which is probably more a general issue than specifically related to version 2.x): I first flashed ESPEasy 2.x (guess it was Dev-7) with the binary firmware uploader and then configured the node including...

The admin password required for accessing/configuring an ESPEasy node travels the network non-encrypted in clear text. For MQTT the same problem exists. Usernames and passwords required for accessing MQTT gateways travel over the network non-encrypted in clear text. Any coworker, hacker (or what hav...

NOTE: all HWL8012 modules and devices work with HIGH VOLTAGE and they do expose it to the user; make sure you connect LIVE and NEUTRAL correctly, as doing the other way around LIVE will be tied to chip GND and increasing the risks!!! What makes things worse is that wiring colors are relevant only w...

I added a BMP280 to one of my ESPEasy nodes.
I wanted to create a virtual device for it in Domoticz.
However, I was unable to find a matching virtual device type "Temperature + Barometer".
What virtual device type should I select for BMP280 in Domoticz?

You mean glass thermometer as reference? They have rather low resolution.

bluejedi

Thanks. I was aware of the formula in ESPEasy but that will still require a good reference device (which I don't have). SHT31-D(IS) looks promising and has I2C interface.

Thanks,
€25+ for a temp/humidity sensor is 'over budget'. For €25 you can get a multi-core MCU board with memory and more...
It's remarkable that with all today's technology it appears so difficult to create rather accurate temp/humidity sensors for a low price.

bluejedi

It's now almost three months later. Still no information/update from @Stuntteam, unfortunately.

bluejedi

Crappy sensor? pity.

I'm still looking for a good accurate (not too expensive) temperature and humidity sensor preferably with I2C interface.

BME280 is not designed as precision thermometer therefore not a real alternative.

bluejedi

Is it possible to set a custom UI timeout value?

Increasing the timeout value is useful for development/configuring/testing activities to prevent having the enter the password over and over to unlock the UI again.
Better than having to force a blank password.

SSD1306 support contains the following bugs: (Tested on v2.0.0-dev10 but also present in earlier versions) Bugs Task settings contains an entry "Rotation" with values "Normal" and "Rotated". The values are working reversed however. "Normal orientation of the SSD130...

From UX perspective and for consistency I suggest that in the Device drop down list (under Devices/Device/Task Settings/Device) device names be not combined but named independently, each as a separate entry in the list. Currently some device(type)s appear combined with others in a single entry in th...

When downloading the v2.x.x Release Candidate zip files different versions (named 'normal', 'test' and 'dev') of the firmware are included.

While I can image (some) meaning of 'test' and 'dev', what exactly is the difference between these normal, test and dev versions of the firmware?

bluejedi

In v2.0.0-dev10 the AM2320 is now supported but I observed the following issues: The are 3 different firmware version in the package: normal test and dev. In normal AM2320 is not supported (but expected because AM2320 is mentioned in the release notes), in test it is supported and dev I have not che...

my thoughts on this: why do we waste resouces the develop 2 different firmwares instead of one?? ...why did he develup espurna when there was espeasy already (or the other way around)? wouldn't one firmware which solves all, much better for the enduser... Why do we have many different manufacturers...

@Stuntteam

Is there an official RFLink gateway logo?
If so, where can it be downloaded?

Preferably in vector format and hi-res transparant PNG formats.

Will be nice to put on (custom made) RFLink gateway enclosures.

@Stuntteam
Please give some feedback about status of support for Ikea TRÅDFRI.

bluejedi

For the SSD1306 I2C OLED Display the rotation is incorrect . Rotation "Normal" displays a 180 degrees rotated image and rotation "Rotated" displays a normal (non-rotated) image. So "Normal" and "Rotated" work reversed which should be corrected in the firmware....

Ik heb gemerkt dat wanneer je handmatig (via serial monitor op PC) een FA500 OFF commando stuurt en er een spatie achter de laatste ; staat, dat die dan niet uitschakelt maar inschakelt. Zou dat eventueel verwant kunnen zijn?

bluejedi

Does TRÅDFRI? use 2.4GHz, 868MHz or 433MHz?
Does this mean that CC2500 will work with Ansluta but not with the new TRÅDFRI?
Can anyone (StuntTeam?) comment on this?

bluejedi

I want to manually add switch devices in Domoticz for use with RFLink (without the 'learn option'). When selecting Manual Light/Switch then under 'Type' I see no familiar type for RFLink or the 'FA500' protocol (ProMax on/off switches from Dutch Action shops) that I want to use. The same dialog show...

bluejedi

Thanks.
For instance, a LoRaWAN RN2483 module to send out notifications over The Things Network.
While that does not have to be an option for the RFLink Gateway (it could be connected separately to the Pi) but it might be a nice future option.

I saw this article today about new switchable and dimable lightning hardware from IKEA that is based on Zigbee (Zigbee Light Link). https://tweakers.net/nieuws/116079/ikea-begint-in-oktober-verkoop-schakelbare-verlichting-met-zigbee-light-link.html IKEA is usually known for good (lower) prices, so t...

bluejedi

Clear.
So that would be either 433MHz OR 868MHz supported on one gateway? (that would be a pity).
I have no use for 868MHz devices myself yet but it's good to know what is and is not possible.

bluejedi

Thanks and quick response! :) My fault, I have seen but overlooked that information. Still leaves a few questions: What about 3V transmitters like STX882? It needs 3V power supply, which is something different than 3.3V logic level but power is supplied to the RF modules directly from an Arduino pin...

bluejedi

That does not answer my question why the hardware serial ports were chosen.
I'm interested if there is any technical reason for that.

bluejedi

If I remember well I did read somewhere that the firmware currently supports 868 MHz.

I therefore assumed that information about 868 MHz modules and wiring would be available, but info on 868 MHz supported devices would follow.
But I might have interpreted that incorrectly.

bluejedi

Yes I checked http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2. That's what I referred to as 'the site'.

bluejedi

On the site I can only find below picture. This image lacks certain information, like the things below: The Aurel transceiver has a separate pin for switching between Rx and Tx mode. I don't see it back in the image. What about 3V transmitters like STX882? It needs 3V power supply, which is somethin...

bluejedi

Where to find information for 868MHz and hardware support?

I can't find it on the site.

@Stuntteam
Why does RFLink use the hardware serial ports instead of standard digital IO ports?
This way they cannot be used for other devices with a serial interface.
