Re: capacitive soil moisture sensor with wrong data

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.

Re: Need help in publishing a Dummy value

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!

still, common in German is a battery but when saying 'Akku' (Akkumulator) we mean a rechargeable one.

Re: solved: TB6612 Motor driver for watering system

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...

Re: solved: TB6612 Motor driver for watering system

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.

Re: solved: TB6612 Motor driver for watering system

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.

Re: water valve... which one?

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...

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?

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.

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.
