Hi Erased and Erased more, pushed an “empty” file … and succes Sorry for late reply, ESP is a testbed for a lot of things and for some reason I tested another platform, which left crumbles to make me think ESPEasy was the solution. Mae culpa … I believe again and even more :D ESPEasy is alive again

HomeJCL

Just tried to update an old setup.

Seems P038 multiple instances is no longer "working" in release after 20220427.

I have tried, I think all of them, after this release date, but no success.

Can you confirm ?

Thanks

HomeJCL

Does this means standard implementation in future releases ?

Thanks again.

The Mrs asked for other stuff.

Technology when it works : goes from pfff superfluous to can you also do this

HomeJCL

Hi It works … when you address the right one :roll: Many thanks. Can make time for the application now. Hopefully my part goes as slick as your support :lol: For the record https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Reference/Command.html?highlight=multiple%20instances#command-a-specific-task-for-mult...

HomeJCL

Tried all of them, standard would be ESP_Easy_mega_20211224_normal_ESP32_4M316k

Thanks

Hi Just found this, readymade setup https://www.kincony.com/kc868-uair-esp32-wifi-magic-sensor-box-released.html with ESP32 Or also interesting the housing (naked) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33040673803.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.27f46c37034tAs most interesting not limited to their specific pri...

Thanks

Need to up my configuration skills in the meantime

HomeJCL

Subject sums it all.

Is it possible to have multiple NeoPixel Basics plugins running ?

I have access to both of the strips but only with 1 instance in Devices.
At time, it is one or the other.
Not that it is crucial.

Thanks

HomeJCL

Yes, but it is not water, but air in the upper part, that will be subject to temperature change.

Gas volume > change in pressure …

HomeJCL

If I understand : Pressure TX is at the end (upper end) of a pipe, immersed in the water. The range of the TX = 30 psi = 21000mmWC (we forget the last digits) Output = 0,5 - 4,5V for 21000 mmWC Your reading 0,784V First thing to check. Does the TX have 0 at atmospheric pressure, if not you will need...

HomeJCL

If you want to “plunge” something for a long time under water, IP68 is needed

So the first sensor with IP65 will need prepping to hopefully make it last.

HomeJCL

Pressure sensor in a 24 mm pipe will be tough and tube is not straight. Possibility is Level with air pressure blanket, but not easy to have this on constantly as it needs an constant air flow and valve to put it on the smallest flow. On the other hand do you need constant level ? This does not chan...

HomeJCL

Measurement is my game. And as far I am always inching towards a full on, exceedingly complicated solution, at home I force my self to think differently. In the end, for the IBC, it is a lot easier and safer to put your money in additional IBC’s than in tricky and in the end non value measurements. ...

HomeJCL

IBC is open to the atmosphere So in essence just a pressure measurement is enough An hydrostatic probe as illustrated will work but at what cost ? On the other hand a 4-20 mA signal alleviates the distance limit. I would go for a cheapo gauge pressure sensor screwed on the bottom connection of the I...

HomeJCL

Haven’t really looked into it but thé Mikrocontroller.net german forum is “well stocked” with data and pointers.

Your best bet would be to have a go there

HomeJCL

Pressure testing the simplest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBZbLdotrG0 but with a bigger jam jar and get inspiration from the next one, can have a nice setup. Although with jam jar don’t overcook it on the pressure !!! More sophisticated https://www.christopherwardforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&...

HomeJCL

Jimmy sent me this sensor link for a liquid level sensor: https://a.aliexpress.com/_dWTFi8A It looks like it outputs an analog value, analogue (pun intended) to the water level I assume. That is a hydrostatic measurement or a pressure transmitter. As for thé float, on a long stick, you will need to...

For my other hobby, have customers where there is an ozonification. That is a Fort Knox style building, you don’t go in there and don’t leave anything in it that you don’t need to leave behind.

I only have 1-layer, so I don't qualify? https://images.gscdn.nl/image/6241f36bd6_grote_bek.png?w=600&s=826b3093aa61968f0897b54663bf1ea5 So is this were all the sponsoring funds end up ?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Jees you made me laugh Needed thanks ESPEASY fills more needs than we think 👍

Well as living in a “Lockdown” country I find most if not all if not all of the functions useful.

Well, on checking My exterior nodes, I see 1 reconnect since 4/02, but then I rebooted my router :oops: RSS is also at 74. I am fixed IP and use my NAS for NTP.

Arrrggghhh I’ll want to .... :lol: To be honest, never really checked it before. But greenhouse time is starting the coming weeks, if weather stays as is. Usually, well after one too reckless update, from March to September I do not touch the most important setup, for me. And I think, must have beat...

HomeJCL

Winter time is not the best to beat records

Lots of time on hand so it testing for me

Last time had 97 days, could have been longer but the 20200204 update itched too much to let it go untested

HomeJCL

Talking temperature and humidity

Anyone found a simple DIY aspirated psychrometer ?
Never searched before on the net, if someone has a link ?

Not that it is urgent but am planning for “future” new weather station (well project 269 from the list

)

HomeJCL

Havé you declared the switch in Devices ?

HomeJCL

Read carefully technical description of this contraption Check carefully the pictures and check what is meant with IP44 (dust/water resistance) Best bet is to enclose this in a box, but then start with a std Wemos or Other and a couple of relais in a watertight box specced at IP65 minimum, that is t...

Best bet is to go for a coffee machine that starts you coffee from scratch, meaning beans to be grinded. So most of the machines with pads/pods/etc ... are a lesser choice and if on top you need 2 cups at once. Also some punch your pod in advance etc etc On the other hand, for me this type of projec...

Hello, Something similar to this will work the best : https://nodemcu-build.com/ User can choose their components and system will provide the image. -D This would be killer.

Link from shop does not link to item What does it cost ?

Hi

Debug just adjusted thru Ko-fi

Thanks

HomeJCL

thanks as I was in a hurry to string an additional patch, missed the obvious and did program by heart and not with my head ... err with an existing backup

Thanks again

HomeJCL

This morning it looked dry to me in the greenhouse. Tonight I checked the function and somehow relay (GPIO) is triggered but instantly goes back to previous state. As I have a spare relay in case of outage, just rewiring I get the same behaviour. Did not take time to check if Wemos is out of order, ...

HomeJCL

Hi

Starting the season just installed back the valve and did something foolish, updated the FW.

Longpulse did not work, a search rendered your tip.

Thanks

By the way, indeed it worked last year without declaring a switch.

HomeJCL

ADS is an AD.

In this case the question is for an DA output stage.

I am also interested if anybody has the answer.

HomeJCL

Birth woes apart, top.

Question :
Specs say plug 7/7 and socket 7/3

If I have it right, this is still usable in most of EU, as a 7/7 plug is compatible with earth pin or the 2 earthing clips “German” variant.

HomeJCL

Finally, the Wemos Mini’s I ordered arrived, funny have loads of Nodes and Mini Pros, never used Minis

Will do some building/drilling tomorrow and if WAF is 100% will post pictures

I want to check if this setup is ok with DHT22 (leftover scrapped project) as room sensor.

HomeJCL

There are gazillions types of this meter available.

Easiest is to check with you company what is available as output on their standard meter, if any

Build from there

If scope says no IR most definitely it is a programming/communication port for service purposes

Hi

Lately SMTP2GO is getting erratic with Gmail (was announced from Gmail) but now arrives at a point to be nearly use less.

Has someone an alternative ?

Thanks

HomeJCL

Yup there goes definitely the last free hours I had planned for the winter

Thanks

HomeJCL

This is a std meter with a magnetic pulse, as there is no electrical connection !

It just has a mechanical totaliser with magnetic pulse for an additional electrical totaliser module, TCR5000 will not work

So a magnetic pulse sensor or similar reed or hall sensor should work.

Why not curve fitting in the meantime.

Google for a percentage fill table > curve fit choose adhoc curve fit et voilà accurate enough for at home.

How do you wire the Pt100 ? Do you have a 2 wire Temperature transmitter or is it a 2-wire Pt100 ? With 2-wire TX it is fairly easy google 4-20mA on Arduino.

Forget the FS-10 you also need to cut the pipe, it is not a clamp on solution but a pipe to install.

Sorry I assumed it was a clamp on, so the AliX meter is a lot cheaper then
