Using rules to dim led strip ?

Hello everyone, I use EasyESP in my office for quite some time now, I think it's been 2 years already, I was switching ON and OFF 2 x 5m led strips and now it's time for an upgrade :) First I want to have a soft-start (dim leds from OFF to FULLY ON) and also soft-stop (dim leds from ON to OFF). I ha...

Re: In the past ~5 months I have changed the AM2302 twice

Advices are welcome ! This morning I removed the 220v power wire from that module , and left it unplugged for more than 8 hours, now I plugged it back in an to my surprise, everything works just fine. I know for sure that when the first sensor stoped reporting humidy and temperature values, I did tu...

Re: In the past ~5 months I have changed the AM2302 twice

Did you also try to disconnect the sensor for a while and then try again? (and/or reboot the ESPeasy) I made a stupid case for that sensor, and also the humidity sensor has the wires soldered to a board, so I can do this if I remove the sensor from the bathroom for a few days. I will do this to see...

In the past ~5 months I have changed the AM2302 twice

Hello guys, Do you have success using the AM2302 sensor in a long term application? I mounted one in my bathroom and recently I noticed the second sensor (the first one failed about 2 months ago) doesn't report any reading, if I check the ESP, it's working but on the DEVICE tab, both values for temp...

Re: Having troubles flashing ESP-01 and ESP-12 through 2 different USB adapters

Ohhhh :( Thank's a lot Shardan for letting me know.

I will solder the ESP-12-E boards on the adapter board so I will easily work with them. I didn't knew the memory was lower on those models, I think those are the first ESP boards I purchased.

Wish you a good night.

Having troubles flashing ESP-01 and ESP-12 through 2 different USB adapters

Hello guys, in the last years I purchased so many sensors and modules, and used so few :( but in the last months I started to put them to good use, so now I run out of WeMos D1 mini boards (which ware so easy to program) and the only boards I have are a few ESP-12 and one ESP-01.

Re: Some help to measure the Li-Ion voltage of ESP-WROOM-02 with battery socket

Why on a separate ESP ? If you use the same unit, you limit the number of time points, to only when it is running and not doing something else and you run the risk of the measurement process affecting the measurement. That sensor also measures voltage? as I'm not that interested in current value, p...

Re: Some help to measure the Li-Ion voltage of ESP-WROOM-02 with battery socket

You need a resister divider rather than just a resister. Google will give you several calculators. You probably want to figure a max of 4.5 to 5V = 1V then figure the multiplier and add that to the formula. @Drum, a volt divider was my first option, but with a volt divider the reading was very low,...

Hello guys, I burned v2.0.0-dev12 in this board, and I wanted to be able to measure the onboard battery voltage, but because I didn't found any documentation about this board, with the battery socket embeded, I don't know if it has an volt divider or not. I'm one step away to give up and throw away ...

Re: ESP wemos D1 not connecting to wifi / power up after connecting pull-up resistor

Ohhh Murphy's laws .. if one of 5 things is bad I will pick the bad one :)

I moved the data pin of DS18B20 to the next pin, D7 and it worked right away :)

Thank you.

Hello guys, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I give up for today, it's past midnight and I couldn't get a reading from a waterproof 1m long DS18B20 sensor. I connected the red wire to 3.3v, the yellow one to the next pin, D8, the GND on the other side of the board where the GND pin is. The boa...

It's not that critical for me to read the state of the pins, but was something I wanted, to keep things simple I will wait till a newer firmware will be available , maybe this feature will be available.
