Let's Control It

nick-head

Thanks Thomas, I will look into this.

i just felt a bit stupid as ESP has been about for a few years and no-one has ever complained about this.

So I thought it was just me, but I will give it a go and see what happens,

Regards

Seems like I cannot detect / act on a value of " inf " when the pulse stops.

The log shows inf but the devices displays 0, neither can be used in a formula for some reason

nick-head

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the reply. I tried the above, did not change a thing. I found that the value in the devices display is 0, but the output of the log is still the last power that was received. I also tried putting it in a Dummy Value, as below,, this is the last one I tried, and I tried a few co...

Below shows Domoticz and ESPEasy
Solar-Power kWh is different as I have been removing the input to see if it changes

It is not on a re-boot though. If I stop the pulse, the output does not follow, it stays the same value as the last pulses it counted. effectively, the pulse is a continuous low/high, wherever it stopped at that time. So, all I can think of is that a time-out after, say 30 seconds , being about 3 wa...

nick-head

Sorry about that: No hardware circuit diagram as it is a standard wiring. The circuit works, pulse count is spot on with input pulses No other problems other than the output kWh stays at the last power and does not change to zero if pulse is removed, hence i asked about timeout.

Hi all, I have been at this problem for months and cannot sort it. I have two pulse-counters, one for House Power and one for Solar Power. When either supply drops to zero, the readings always stay at the last power. The input is via an optical sensor counting the flashing pulses. This pulse, when t...

How about an IR Repeater ?

Then it doesn't matter about protocols , does it ?

Many of us have lots of ESP's that we can put around the house and utilise a common receiver to control
appliances in a different room.

Or am I being too presumptuous?

nick-head

I am getting that as well, have been for a few weeks.

nick-head

Unless you are like me and dont have a massive house therefore needing dhcp is not an option..
You dont have mulit-subnet capabilities by the look of it.

For me, a static IP. The choice is yours.

nick-head

You have default ip settings as false therefore it will probably default to the 192.168.4.x subnet

Change it to true and recompile.

I dont think an AP will be available as the settings have been modded.

nick-head

And I have just tried the AA batteries, it doesn't boot. So that's out of the window

nick-head

Are you sure the ttl converter is working ?

Connect the RX to TX pin on the converter and use a comms program to check if it loops back

nick-head

OOps, sorry, I think I answered a message to someone else, apologies

nick-head

I have , yes. I got bored with it, so I also flashed microPython on it. All they are is an ESP8266 with a few extra bits added. I am also considering upgrading the memory from 1MB to 4MB as I have with my other ESP8266-01's but the flash chip is in between components and I am a bit clumsy with my ho...

nick-head

And, that power supply is not the one I have.

Mine is a linear converter not digital.

It has 2 regulators on it, one 5v one 3.3v AMS 1Amp type, never had a problem with these.

The one you showed me is totally different

nick-head

Yer, Having a ball, = enjoying what I am doing to the limit

Like a production line = making lots of things at once, doing loads of programming , connecting building

I just enjoy messing about

Try some AA batteries if you don't want to use a PSU, 2 fully charged ones should suffice for a hour or so

nick-head

Mine has the same problem but when I see it in the Log it is ok
and all lights switch ok.

Version 147
Sonoff 16A Switch

nick-head

Yep, will do, Just tried V147 and it does go on a 1MB Sonoff, I dont fancy removing the flash out of one of these and putting it to 4MB. I did it on an ESP-01, that was tricky enough. I was using the experimental "MEGA" revision, I think that requires more flas mem. OK, hope you get it don...

nick-head

Had a look at that PSU, maybe it would work but it is a bit elaborate to get a 3.3v suppply when all that is needed is a 3.3v regulator and maybe a few capacitors to drop the 5v down. The only thing about that PSU I would be concerned about is is may have current regulation, hence specifying that is...

nick-head

I think I downloaded the older files from sourceforge.net. Really just to have them.

nick-head

ESP R.147 may not go into a Sonoff. May do i will try when I get back. I dont remember where V78 came from. Maybe github.

nick-head

Right. Back to basics. The Sonoff is not programming at all. If it gave you the three errors then nothing went in. It will not part program. Its all or nothing. In the Arduino IDE did you install the ESP8266 addon? It is a library that you down load. At least I think it is. Has been a long time sinc...

nick-head

Are you using a separate 3.3v psu, USB - Serial adaptors only supply a small current. You said you had a working Sonoff, just power that up as you would if you were programming it, then try the Com Port to set your wifi settings. Try uploading a different revision i.e 78, as I had a few compile erro...

nick-head

You could probably use PUTTY but I don't use it so cannot tell you how to do it in that.

nick-head

Setup newline/CR/LF at the bottom

Commands I use:

Type "settings" in the send bar press send and it will give you info

nick-head

Ah right,

when you program your Sonoff, just leave it in place.
Using the IDE, open the Com port on the top right.

Then manually add settings to the Sonoff using the command input routines

nick-head

Coolremote, just a quick question.

Why would you need a power supply to power the Sonoff Modules. ?

They are self powered when connected to the mains, I am bemused.

Glad you got them working though.

People on here know their stuff, I am still learning.

Regards

Nick

nick-head

I have 4 Sonoff 10A Switches, all programmed with 120 I think, not sure now, but they all work, all gave a wifi AP. The only time I never got that was due to having the ip already programmed into it before I reflashed. I had to do an IP search to find it via my phone Not much info but hey, it's my c...

nick-head

So then Klaus, did it work ?

nick-head

That has cured the <100 problem Bert, works absolutely fine now.

now I have to find something to do with it now.

Thanks Bert, your a star.

Regards

Nick

nick-head

No problem Bert, I have only been experimenting with the plugins for a few days and I have learnt a few things. I have great respect for any developers who commit their time to produce "free" software based on ideas generated by many people. I am using ESPeasy in my home automation system ...

nick-head

Nice one Bert, I am just in the process of uploading to the ESP. Right, uploaded. Had to remove original plugin as it has redefinitions of SoftwarSerial and other things. OK, done. Can't find RX/TX as before. Can't even make it produce anything on the screen. Totally different interface. Will have t...

nick-head

Anyone found out why this is happening ?

nick-head

Hi Klaus,

All I used was the Arduino IDE on Windows 7.

I just loaded the source code of ESPEasy and edited the _P013_HCSR04.ino plugin.

Then recompile and send it to the ESP.

Just found out it is not the Mega Version, just V147

nick-head

I had the same as you at the beginning, but I edited the plugin to see what happens.

I don't know what I am doing or wether it should be done but I got it to display decimals.

Iv'e changed it over to Plugin P012 now, so it can run with P003.
If anyone wants to mess about with it and make it better.

nick-head

I am using the ESPEasy-Mega Version 147 Experimental. This code replaces the original Pulse Counter within the source code. I am not even sure I modified it in the correct way / legal code and the like, however it is working as I want it for now, don't know about long term, but it's the best I can d...

nick-head

Yay, finally, and it talks to Domoticz as I intended to do in the first place.

nick-head

Thanks for the help.

Had to do a re-write on the source-code, but, it works.

I just tried

SendToHTTP 192.168.0.100,8070,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=114&switchcmd=On

and it works, so it looks like you missed a / off at the json.htm? bit.

Maybe too late but, hey , at least you got a working reply.

nick-head

Hi All, Does anyone know if you can send separate time values to Domoticz that were obtained by the Pulse Counter. I see Delta, Delta/Total/Time and Total only. I need the Time values only and can't find how to do it. I have tried all combinations but no luck, I may be missing something really simpl...

nick-head

Well,

Just tried it with ESPEasy 147 on a nodemcu v 1.0 and it does the same.

Can't understand this a tall
