In a bit of a quandry... should I update the version of ESP Easy? What will it break...

I have a few Wemos D1's doing tasks for me around the house. Mainly remote temp and humidity sensors with displays the sensors feed Home Assistant data via MQTT. That is all fairly basic except that I have one unit that does not display, but is a source of data feeding all of my units with displays....

Re: Need version with SHT30 driver

I use instance of "Generic - MQTT Import". They are data collectors to allow remote reboots and other things from my Home Assistant server.

I can't run software or remote commands on the system that does the monitoring. I really just need the ESP to generate a web page with the numerical temperature.

Re: ESPEasy P2P network questioin or issue... Fixed, late night typo

It is as simple as defining multiple instances of P2P on multiple ESP's. The trick is each one talks to different tasks that are common across all your ESP's that need to get the data.

MQTT sniffer, why no text imports?

I am using MQTT to shove data out to a couple of D1's with displays to display weather data and would like to include the direction of the wind. For example SSW or N. Kids and wife would not get degrees.

So, why can't text be sniffed?
