Let's Control It

PieterS

Thnx for quick reply. But will there be an issue when i reflash for update or other firmware? I need the energy pack for Eastron energy-readers when that is available.

PieterS

Configuring the software for Ethernet on my ETH01 evo. I found a table for that at https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Hardware/Hardware.html#ethernet-phy-address https://i.ibb.co/ssw05QS/ETH01-evo.jpg But some marks show up when I try to select the GPIO for that pin.. https://i.ibb.co/4VxjhdN/...

PieterS

Back again!! I tried with the Surface again! This time after I connected to the SSID ESP-Easy (the browser was still up) there was an url http://wwwmsftconnecttest.com/setup :o So I could choose the correct SSID and fill in the password! Problem solved. No idea why. But the LAN-analyzer shows a new ...

PieterS

My phone is a Samsung with Android. No extra security enabled.
To be sure that it was not a setting in my phone I tried with another device: Microsoft Surface with Windows 11. Same problem...

But I will try with that prefix http:// and keep you informed.

PieterS

Installation with Web Flasher of the above named version was successfull. The SSID ESP-Easy shows up in the list of wifi-points. A connection to the AP is made.

In my browser I fill in: 192.168.4.1 and after a while it says:

de wachttijd voor de verbinding is verstreken

PieterS

There is a number of things showing in the filename: - ESP32C3 -> ESP type/model - LittleFS -> Showing the file system type, but since recently it also signifies the SDK version I used to build it (more on this later) - CDC -> Allows to use ESPEasy console on those ESP32 boards which have native US...

Recieved a new ETH01 evo, downloaded and flashed ESP_Easy_mega_20240414_custom_ESP32c3_4M316k_LittleFS_CDC_ETH.factory.bin . The AP starts and I can fill in the password configesp and Android asks to connect once or allways. I choose once. But I am not able to connect to the site 192.168.4.1 after I...

PieterS

I will give that device its own, correct prepared and checked breadboard. Problem of that pcb is that just a few pins are marked on top, the rest at the bottom. So in a hurry it went wrong.. lesson learned.

PieterS

H Ton and Gijs,

Thnx for all info and all the good work.
I am pretty sure I fried the Evo so I ordered a new one. Next time I will limit the current to 300mA.

I keep you informed as soon as it arrives.

PieterS

@Pieter, As you may have seen, I have been working on fixing some issues first before I was ready to make you a build. Had not forgotten about it, as I did discuss it this morning with Ton. He now has made a build for you, linked in the post above this one. Please let me know if that one is working...

PieterS

Refering to this thread: https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=69036#p69036 That version is not in list of the above link... :?

PieterS

That version is not in list of the above link...

So I think your answer should be No.
Or is there a misunderstanding?

I want to use that pcb to read the Eastron SDM630M

PieterS

H Gijs,
Can I use this software also for the ETH01 evo with esp32 C3 and AC energy?

PieterS

@TD-er: Thanks Gijs for all this information. I feel a bit sorry for all the work I give to you. :oops: Explaining this knowledge and building and maintaining this software. I now better understand differences in software like littleFS, CDC and Factory. It is a bit a pitty that there are so many fla...

PieterS

@TD-er: I succeeded in upload ESP_Easy_mega_20240331_energy_ESP32c3_4M316k_ CDC .factory.bin and tried to configure the firmware for ethernet. But I found no options, only the wellknown wifi-part. So searching again in the my local all.zip but no ESP_Easy_mega_20240331_energy_ESPc3_4M316k_ littleFS ...

PieterS

Download the latest zipfile from here: https://td-er.nl/ESPEasy/latest/ Download from Espressif the latest flash download tool V3.9.6 Configured that tool but not sure about the startaddress 0x1000 but found that somewhere before.. Is that address ok? When i connect the usb-cable into the USB2serial...

PieterS

H Gijs, I want to read the Eastron SDMxxx Modbus energy counters with this device in ethernet-mode. In your Docs that is Energy (AC) - Eastron SDMxxx Modbus - ENERGY - P078. The pin-layout is a bit curious... This is a picture of the bottom. Not many (documented) pins :( https://i.ibb.co/PjCk1bd/202...

PieterS

Yesterday my ETH01 evo arrived so I want to flash it for the first time. I downloaded this software ESPEasy_mega_20240229_ESP32c3_binaries from Github but that sip-file consists of 36 bin-files. I don't know which one I need to flash.. :roll: Especially the plugin-sets are not clear to me. No idea w...

PieterS

@Gijs: Thnx for info. We will see. In the discription and specifications they say there is a 10/100 Mbit network port with POE input... :P I let you know when device is arrived and I will figure out. Otherwise I have no idea how to feed the device with power. Is that by the pin that is marked with 5...

PieterS

Thnx Ton, I have a switch with POE and even a accesspoint with extra POE lan-ports. So that part is prepared. I was not sure if it is plug and play on the board. I guess so. As I compare the picture of the ETH01 BOARD with a Lolin ESP8266 it seems to me there are less gpio-connections. But that will...

PieterS

Thnx Gijs, Ordered this one: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006316399183.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.21ef79d2NuzOAk&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld , can't wait! 8-) a few questions because I studied the pictures on the link: Is POE also functional or is that not softwarerelated? On the...

PieterS

Is there also a wired equivalent of ESP8266 that runs espeasy?

Lots of trouble with ESP8266 over here...

PieterS

Thnx Gijs for quick reply and examples. I forgot to tell that data from the SDM120 must be sent via broker to 2 different destinations. The one to Domoticz is clear to me. This is the rule: On SDM_Goodwe#All Do Publish,energy/goodwe,'{"command":"udevice","idx":2506,&quo...

PieterS

I have 2 energy-counters with Modbus (Eastron SDM630 and Eastron SDM120) in my garage and want to connect them together in one bus and to one controller (Lolin NodeMcu). Is it possible to send data to different topics through MQTT from one NodeMcu to the same broker? One topic (for the SDM603) is do...

PieterS

A statusupdate about the two Eastron SDM120's in a bus along with Wemos board and ESPeasy. This afternoon I found some time to configure one SDM120 with ID 2 and connect them together to the Wemos. All close together on DIN-rail with a DIN-rail 5V PSU. :mrgreen: And it works as expected. https://i.i...

PieterS

H Gijs,

Nice to read your information. Two sensors on 1 bus will work! That confirmation was what I needed. I do not need to know these kind of readings every second.

I will order them and will show the results of course.

Thanks for reply and best regards!

PieterS

My heatpump arrived! :D So I have to monitor that device too. Good experience with the Eastron SDM630 as 3-fase meter to load the electric vehicle. But the heatpump expects 2 single fase cables. One for the unit outside and one for the boilerheater (only legionella run ;) ) So I am considering wheth...

PieterS

Both solutions do their job for me. Like several nice roads to Rome

Through France for example

PieterS

You mean something like this? On SDM630_L1#All Do // Receives 4 arguments, 1st one is already sent to the controller, so can be ignored Publish,domoticz/in,'{"command":"udevice","idx":2282,"nvalue":0,"svalue":"%eventvalue2%"}' // Current L1...

PieterS

As I read your explanation; my case was coincidence and bad luck.
Happy with this forum

PieterS

Thanks Gijs,

You are right! Again!

I learned: a reboot in ESPEasy is not the same as a power-cycle.

Unfortunately I tested that option but the accesspoint started later; to slow.

Thnx again

PieterS

In the past, when I flashed the NodeMCU and I configured ESPeasy, the software chosed to select the router as accesspoint. That device was close to my desk. But when everything was up and running I decided to mount the NodeMCU in my garage. And than the signalstrengh was worse, even bad. So last wee...

PieterS

Hi all, especially Gijs, Yesterday I mounted the ESP and MAX485 TTL to RS485 on connectors to a circuitboard and build that in a case. All close to the meter. This afternoon I looked into ESPeasy and I was surprised that the readings of modbus were excellent! https://i.ibb.co/DYdqgkZ/Checksum.jpg ht...

PieterS

Hmm that's really strange. Is it possible the A/B might have been swapped between the MAX485 board and the Eastron? I have 2 MCU's flashed with the same firmware: One with HW serial config and one with SW serial config. I swapped them on the screw-terminal board. I did not swap any wiring. As all w...

PieterS

OK, since you have the pins on the ESP quite accessible via screw terminals, can you try other pins (using SW serial, or else you can't change the pins) Let's first disable all other tasks for Eastron, as you have at least on task 3 the RX and TX pins swapped in the config. So first let's see how i...

PieterS

No worries. My deficiency

PieterS

Thanks guys for all hints. I will pick this hobby up later in next weekend. Leaving for other hobby.
Let you know the results.

PieterS

I unchecked the checkbox of Serial console.

This are the results..
The meter is on. At least Voltage should be there..

The ESP reacts slow in this config.

PieterS

Gijs, You pointed out the bad checksum values to me. And asked to change the Serial Port to SW Serial. I am not an expert. So I think about what and how to change. But maybe I forgot something or made a mistake. Sorry for that. I Enabled Serial Port Console: https://i.ibb.co/P4Gqvg1/Serial-console...

PieterS

Have you tried running it using SW serial instead of HW serial, using the same pins? (I have asked this exact same question several times now) No, not yet. As I wrote in #73 Bericht door PieterS » 13 Aug 2023, 17:19 Sorry Gijs, not yet. Too many steps together for me. I will try that in a while. Ye...

PieterS

What is the fail/success rate for the Eastron messages now? It is running here on an ESP8266 and I hardly have any failed checksum messages: Checksum (pass/fail): 2636984/149 At this moment: Checksum (pass/fail): 158/4280 :oops: Did some tuning in Domoticz and the rule inESPeasy. Can the interval o...

PieterS

Sorry Gijs, not yet. Too many steps together for me. I will try that in a while.

Yes: chesum (pass/fail) is bad..

And let you know it here. Of course.

PieterS

I disabled because I read: You can also send the first value from rules to Domoticz by duplicating a Publish line, by sending %eventvalue1% to idx 25. In that case the Domoticz MQTT controller option in the plugin should be unchecked. I had in mind: the task sends the first message, the rule the res...

PieterS

Tested the software by loading the car and monitoring the meter.

A minor value like the sum of all current stays empty. Not that important

Thanks for all your good work

PieterS

Loading with 11 kW on "3 fase"

I miss some data..

But I guess i have to inform you in a different thread?

Sorry, my conclusion is to early. Sorry

PieterS

Serial Port Console is Unchecked.
I gonna load the car to give some work to the meter.

Be back in a while.

PieterS

Thnx Ton for all your information. I tried the SendToHttp-way in the CLI of ESPeasy but it gave FAILED. Sure about username and password.. As I prefer MQTT I copy/pasted your example of the rules set, checked the IDX and saved it. But it did not pass by in MQTT Explorer. So I tried to make it simple...
