Re: New hackable ESP gadgets in local budget store "action" !!!

Hi all after a few months I decided to give this project another go. Now, I was struggling to get some information so I thought I'd leave my experiences here 1. All flashing was done by soldering the cables and adding the Tasmota firmware using Esptool 2. The idea of the rules is actually very simpl...

Re: New hackable ESP gadgets in local budget store "action" !!!

Has anyone got the door sensor running on custom firmware? I have one running with SmartNodeRules. Just updated the plugin so it creates a rule event "TUYA#Event=<state>" when the sensor detects a change. Sample rule: On TUYA#Event do msgbus %sysname%/DoorSwitch=%eventvalue% endon Any of ...

Re: New hackable ESP gadgets in local budget store "action" !!!

Hi ! Door sensor owner here :) I just connect the reed to GPIO13. 20190825_165123.jpg It works since 25/08 without battery replacement. @Neutrino a few questions: 1. Does the device go to deep sleep after a change is detected 2. Are you using stock firmware (espeasy/tasmota/?) to do the update? My ...

using a sonoff T1 2 Gang as a simple controller

Hi all,

quick Q: I have set up 2 Sonoff Touch 1 gang wireless switches for my lighting. Now I wanted to know if I could use a 2 gang switch as a simple dummy? Basically I want it to send a trigger to domoticz and then let domoticz turn on Light 1 or 2. Any done this before?

Hi LisaM,

I am already using global sync, but all my sensors and controllers are not DHCP and sit in a different IP range. I can set a static IP on the other Espeasy's so was wondering if this is due to this?

Anyone who can tell me how to use the sonoff1 / sonoff2 in rules?
