I made the same experience with that sensor and also with ADS1115. Works perfectly in rooms, but when installing outdoor I could not get any reliable datas. Really a pity! Maybe temperature and air humidity is responsible for this.

Hi Thomas, I wasn't aware of the usage of a dummy device. Now I understand - now it works! And again I learnt a little bit more. Thanks for your help & patience!

forgot the screenshot

just is being published. "any/state/xxx" is my standard for MQTT-messages in my network.

You are right. I just followed the 'working examples' out of https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Rules/Rules.html . I changed the rule according to your suggestion, but still I get not the result of the average calculation to be published. No probs with calculation and MQTT. Screenshot of Devic...

Folks, please help me! I want to find the average of three values and want to publish this value. What I am doing wrong? On Light#Lux Do Let,4,[VAR#3] Let,3,[VAR#2] Let,2,[VAR#1] Let,1,[Light#Lux] TaskValueSet,1,1,([VAR#1]+[VAR#2]+[VAR#3])/3 Let,5,[Dummy#Value] publish,any/state/Umweltsensor/[Dummy#...

still, common in German is a battery but when saying 'Akku' (Akkumulator) we mean a rechargeable one.
@ dynamicdave: I woud like to see your links for the solar-powered weather station, especially for the rules.

A 100 msec-pulse is enough, could also be 50msec. At minimum you should use 1A. I am using a 5V/2A charger power supply and - very important - you should buffer the supply voltage (I am using 5V) of the motor shield with 100µF or more!!! Then, you would hear a very strong 'click' in one direction, a...

Yes, four valves needs a lot of IO's. This is also my roadmap. I will try to manage it with I²C. WEMOS (and others) are devivering motor shields with I²C and 2x TB6612. And for sleep mode - I also have to find out how to implement this.

Why don't you use one single MCU for both? My ESP8266 (WEMOS D1mini) is responsible for controlling waterflow, switching the valve and inputting the soil moisture sensor. To reduce the power consumption you could use the sleep mode, because activity all 30 minutes should be enough.

Vent01auf=1.00 or Vent01auf=0.00: this are my events I want to use.

Hi grovkillen, I am using mega-20180625 and have a dozend ESP's running with that. I just wanted to have an event (gpio12, gpio13 and publish) available for using it in different dependencies (SW-switch, HW-switch, sensor-values etc.). To write a code case by case run's OK, but soon I oversize 2048 ...

Thanks for your input, grovkillen, but this little rule-modification brings my ESP to stop operation. Something is really wrong with your (and of course my) code! Please have a look again.

Everlasting questions about rules... Perhaps somebody can have a look on this: on Water#state do event, Vent01auf=%eventvalue% endon on Vent01auf=1 do Pulse,16,1,100 Pulse,12,1,50 Pulse,13,0,50 //start watering (open Vent1) Publish aussen/state/WM/Garten01/Water/Vent1,1 timerSet,1,300 //timer 1 set ...

Fine to hear that. What is your application - do you combine the valves with soil moisture sensors?

I have a solution running since weeks and it works fine for me. I used this: https://www.pearl.de/a-NX7367-3506.shtml Since this are solenoid valves they need +power to open and -power to close, you need a H-brigde to drive the valve. Sounds difficult, but when using i.e. a TB6612NL motor driver you...

So, now I have a little time to explain my project. This are my hardware parts: - Valve PEARL NX-7367-675 - WeMOS D1mini - SparkFun Motortreiber-Dual TB6612FNG (EXPTech EXP-R05-969) But of course you can use any other H-bridge-drive / Motor driver. This device is very simple to connect with the ESP....

Hi alabama,

I'll answer tomorrow.

so easy... thanks a lot, of course now it works!

Thanks. So I modified my rules in adding the event-command: On startwatering do Pulse,4,1,40 Pulse,5,0,40 //start watering (open valve) Publish aussen/state/WM/Garten01/watering,startwatering event,MQTTwatering=startwatering timerSet,1,60 //timer 1 set for 1 minutes endon But nothing happens when I ...

I have a D1MiniPro running, flashed with V1.47. I am trying to upgrade to V2.0, but I fail: neither over-the-air or using the flash-tool works. Probably the module is not compatible with V2.0. Is there anybody who has successfully flashed D1MiniPro with V2.0?

My watering systems grows in line with all the plants in springtime. I have this rules working, and I receive MQTT-messages in my Node-RED: On startwatering do Pulse,4,1,40 Pulse,5,0,40 //start watering (open valve) Publish aussen/state/WM/Garten01/watering,startwatering timerSet,1,60 //timer 1 set ...

solved: I changed from GPIO2 (D4) to GPIO5 (D1) - now it works! Still I would like to get suggestions for a more sophisticated code. Based on the Tutorial rules I am trying to build up my garden watering system using a bipolar relay - so I just need short pulses of around 40msec. My motor driver / H...

v2.0.0-dev10

quite funny, I tried several things, at least changing again to OpenHAB-MQTT and now it works like it has to do: Controller Subscribe: any/set/WM/Relay01/# Controller Publish: any/state/WM/%sysname% any/set/WM/Relay01/cmd GPIO,5,1 But still 'cmd Reboot' doesn't work. Not the showstopper, I'm happy i...

also not.

I am wondering why this doesn't work here (PiDome MQTT): the relay is not switching!

What I learnt moving to V2.0.0 is that you need to add 'MQTT Input' as a device to set a topic. And of cource Controller subscripe/publish if you want to have a feedback of the Relay-status. I use this little rule on mqtt_relay#state do if [mqtt_relay#state]=0 gpio,5,0 else gpio,5,1 endif endon to g...

After upgrading to V2.10 I was able to display values out of the 'FHEM-universe'. Thanks for your tutorial, Robin! Now I can start my next project: combine FHEM & ESP Easy-devices with Node-RED.

Hi Robin, so I need ESPEasy V2.0 (Mega) to import MQTT-values?! By-the-way, there are three different MQTT-protocols available (Domoticz, OpenHAB and PiDome). Is there any benefit to use Domoticz? I will upgrade to V2.0 tomorrow.

I am a FHEM-user and publish sensor values via MQTT. For examples, I can see all published temperatur-values when checking the 'mqtt-spy'-tool. I would like to display these values in a ESP Easy-node using an OLED. Still using V1.47. Can anyone help me what I have to do?
