That one works really well with ESPHome so it should be all good with ESPEasy too

I have quite a few installed at some customers !

My advice is to stay away of that device ! Have one here and it's chinese bad design :( One of the ring/base LED is wired with bar LED which kills the visual effect of product Temperature sensor inside is not an original Dallas temp sensor (4/5° offset with my other sensors aronud !). support of man...

Late to this party, sorry, just found this thread. This type of display is supported since October 2021 releases of ESPEasy. it is available in the 'Display' builds. Thanks for the late update but I've switched over ESPHome since a long time as it's a lot easier and more integrated with Home Assist...

Would you mind to share rules you used to get correct value of battery through resistors once wired to ADC input of ESP ?

I know by experience that it’s a very delicate process to combine a RCWL-0516 in close perimeters to an ESP module.

Hmm that sounds like a cool feature. Could you cut'n-paste that on the Github issue list? There we can find things again to implement and fix. On the forum I can't :) Just to be sure as there are multiple branches on github for ESPEasy, should I post in this one ? https://github.com/letscontrolit/E...

Hi

Is it planned to implement in V2 the auto-discover MQTT feature implemented by Home automation systems like Home-Assistant ? It would be really nice and make stuffs a lot easier to config all the more for beginners ;)

Thanks

Vincèn

vincen

I haven't done this myself and I'm no expert on EASPEasy Rules, but the documentation for Home Assistant seems to indicate that HA autodiscovery is subscribed to MQTT topic "homeassistant". So publishing a MQTT message using the homeassistant topic along with some other details (NodeID, d...

No one on this ??

Hi

I'd like to use the autodiscover MQTT feature of Home Assistant as showed here on HA website: https://home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/discovery/

Did someone succeeded to implement that in ESPEasy ? and if so would he mind to share settings he used in ESPEasy ?

Thanks

Can you post a picture of your relay board. Did you pull up or down on GPIO. Sure here is Relay board I use: https://www.skivr.com/forums/letscontrolit/Relay_board.png and config I did in ESPEasy: https://www.skivr.com/forums/letscontrolit/Cuisine.png I changed of GPIO on ESP but still the same and...

Maybe same problem as https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3767 Nope as it has worked perfectly fine during two weeks before going bad !! And this morning it's working again perfectly normally so I suspect a problem of power on the ESP module or something like that ! Will cha...

Why do you bother with rather limited integrated MQTT server of HA ?? Just as previously told install Mosquitto (setup is pretty simple for basic configuration, declare it in HA, and connect ESPEasy to it and voilà all done

DVM = digital volt meter thanks :) If you think 4 volts is OK for the ESP then go ahead, BUT make sure you have lots of spare of ESP modules :-) When the spec on a module specifies a MAXIMUM voltage then do NOT put more than that into it, otherwise the smoke will come out, simple design guidelines,...

Yes i checked your drawing, the TP board has NO VOLTAGE regulation, your drawing will WRECK a bare ESP module when the battery is fully charged. as for an INA board, iv never heard of it and NO IDEA what it is? I checked by putting usb power on board and in fact it gives me nearly always around 4V ...

DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the voltage regulator? 4.2 volts (a fully charged LiOn) WILL KILL a bare esp module (been there and done that :) unless your using a PCB with a vreg?

So after listening at all your very good advices, I went through that design. Does it sound correct and working ?

so take a standard value of 10k for R1, use the calculator and R2 is ~3k, http://www.ti.com/download/kbase/volt/volt_div3.htm so double the values to use less current. DO NOT GO OVER 20K for R1, otherwise you will get inaccuracy s on the ADC readings. Also bear in mind that the ADC input impedance ...

What value of R1 and R2 do you use for correct measure of 18650 battery then ?

Thanks

I wrote a more detailed post but it seems to have vanished into the ether. A couple of other things i do with the TP board. 1. Remove the LED's as they are a total waste of power. 2.

You have a module without protection which is not advised to be used in such project.

Red light burns continuous, but imported question, do you have the black or blue version on the ESP-01? For the black version you must use the 1024.bin file and for the blue the 512.bin file.

One button is for flash the ESP-01, is that done already it isn't necessary. The other one is for a hard reset, is sometimes handy.

3.3V is coming from the ESP board and I used it previously to power some pressure and temperature sensor without problems !
