Let's Control It

EDsteve

One of these capacitors i had lying around (the single one on the right which is 330uF and 16V). I changed it... no smoke... or fire... and it works again like nothing ever happened. I love this forum specially Mr. TD-er :) Thanks for taking your time i hope this thread will save many SonOFFs from t...

EDsteve

Sorry for the late reply a virus tied me to bed for a few days. Both your answers pointing in the direction of the power conversion from 220V which of course makes sense. I wasn't surprised that capacitors don't last forever. But it's a bit shocking to hear that they might create problems already af...

Hi, since years i am using a few Sonoff S20 flashed with ESPeasy without issues. Two days ago one device wasn't accessible any more so I looked into it and found out that in only works when connected with a 3,3V power source on the pin headers. But when i plug it into the 220V power plug. It is not ...

EDsteve

Grrrrr. And i said it was based on the wiki. But yea. There is no "do" in the wiki in the if statement (any more?).

Thanks for the correction

Works as it should now.

EDsteve

Hi there, I am not sure why this simple rule does not work any more. I have used it a few years ago. But when i try using it on the new built. It gives me the error: Calculate: Unknown token input: 40 do = 0 Here my (simplified) rules which are based on the wiki: on BME_280#Temperature do if [soil#A...

My OH2 ".items" file defines the MQTT send/receive actions. Oh i see. That's not so easily possible in Domoticz. I could have converted the message via NodeRed but i just like to keep it simple. The link from TD-er solved my problem. It seems that Domoticz MQTT helper is mandatory since t...

EDsteve

Hi, sorry for late reply and thanks for your informative post. I am still not sure if i understand your solution. When i toggle a switch in Domoticz. It will send a MQTT switch-command to ESPeasy. How can that MQTT message trigger the RelayOn/Off event? How does OpenHAB do it? It works when i enter ...

EDsteve

Hi, Perhaps your rules could be rewritten to use events to control the relay thanks for your answer. Unfortunately i am not a coder. So i am not really sure what you mean by "use events". According to this ESPeasy reference i already use events, if i understand it correctly: image_2020-11-...

Hi, after some Wifi changes in my house i had to reinstall one of my Sonoff Smart Power socket. I flashed the blank file and after that the new release (ESP_Easy_mega_20201102_normal_ESP8285_1M). New install and i made exactly the same settings which i have on three other working Sonoffs. I went thr...

EDsteve

Yes. The extended credentials works fine. *Thumbs up*

The same clientID for two devices will not work (I did that for testing and it took me a while to figure out what actually was the problem)

At the end i managed to receive data on Cayenne. Here my settings in case somebody else needs it:

This allows for longer username/pass

Hmm. Doesn't seem to work on my side. I am running the mega-20200608 and when i input the Controller User. It cuts off 30% or so. Is that only a GUI problem or still not fixed?

EDsteve

Do you know by any chance which controller i should choose to send data to Cayenne? Someone talked about "Generic MQTT"... But i don't see that in the last built.

EDsteve

I don't think it has because i know how busy you guys are. But i would also love to have a Cayenne integration. Did anything happen in that direction? The issue today if I chose generic MQTT integration in the ESPEasy is that the key-length for Cayenne is longer than the webinterface allows. Is that...

EDsteve

WARNING: Turns out that my constellation messed up my Analog Input. 20% of the measured values are off.

So for example the capacitive soil sensor gives me sometimes readings which are 10% or 20% higher or lower. When i change the 7-Ohm-reed-switch combo to a normal switch. All works perfect again.

EDsteve

Yes. Well, what happens if you add 2 of those, either in series, or parallel to each other? Does it still turn off and on at will? And does the Wemos boot up as expected? The 1 Ohm i had for testing was from a trim potentiometer. Yes. the D1 boots up without issues. So now i have a 7 Ohm resistor (s...

EDsteve

I suspect that the power that your Wemos is using is enough to make the reed-switch 'stick' once turned on. According to the specs of the reed switch that should not happen. Or do i see that wrong? I just want a simple and small switch. Adding a Relay is not really what i want :roll: So i just figu...

EDsteve

Heeello, i've got a weird problem which occupied my whole day without a solution. And now i am furious :o Situation: A Wemos D1 is powered directly to the 5V and GND from a 3,7V battery. And a reed switch is in between so i am able to turn the power on and off with a magnet . I unplugged everything ...

EDsteve

Ohhh yeah. That's what i was looking for.
It can be that easy. Thaaaank you

EDsteve

Thanks for your reply. But my question still remains how am i able to access the web-control-penal to add rules or to add a device? Because in AP mode i can only see the wifi-settings page when i open 192.168.4.1.

EDsteve

Another solution would be using IFTTT.

Basically ESPeasy sends a HTTP request to https://ifttt.com when temp too warm.
IFTTT reads the HTTP request (Webhook) and sends a mail or calls your phone or restarts your Tesla... you get the idea

Maybe IFTTT even has a direct connection to thingspeak.

EDsteve

But I have a feeling that you are alone in what you are trying to achieve. Nope. He is not :D I try to make a mobile air quality sensor with PMS7003 and display using ESPeasy. I don't use AP mode for access and so all I can do is offer best-guess advice. Because i can only reach the wifi settings p...

EDsteve

Ohh. Thanks so much. Now i understand. I should have thought about that

I know... script kiddies like me are annoying.

EDsteve

Somehow i can't get it working 100% with the Let command. When soil humidity is higher than 900 it should set varia#2 to 2. And if this var#2 is 2 it should trigger a relay and increment a second variable (The incrementation of the second variable works). But somehow it doesn't enter the "if [v...

EDsteve

Thanks for your detailed answer. That should even help me :) Somehow i am having problems to bring the Wemos into deep sleep now (Yes. GPIO 16 and RST is connected). Not really sure why... It just doesn't go to sleep... But i will report back after i figured it all out :) EDIT: Working now. Faulty w...

EDsteve

Hi, I have a similar problem, but don't really understand how you guys solved that. Can you make a quick and dirty schematics of how you did that? These rules seem to work only with added components i guess?: On System#Sleep do gpio,5,0 endon Trying to build a solar powered dust sensor. So i have a ...

EDsteve

Okay. Thanks for the info. I will wait for a new release i can test.

EDsteve

I use a NodeMCU only for these tests now. Wiped all data, flashed the new build. Only edited the rules and changed Log to Debug. But the log still looks the same and SendToHTTP doesn't work. Here the serial log: 332497 : WD : Uptime 6 ConnectFailures 0 FreeMem 18432 WiFiStatus 3 352942 : EVENT: Rule...

I tried that already since yesterday, but whatever i do. The Debug-level never changes. These are my settings: debug.png And this is how my Log looks like: 15607: MQTT : Intentional reconnect 15651: MQTT : Connected to broker with client ID: ESPClient_5C:CF:7F:AB:81:21 15652: Subscribed to: domoticz...

EDsteve

I didn't set up a controller. It's a blank fresh firmware. I only add the rules to make a http requests every 20 seconds.

EDsteve

I tried quotes and also added a command for Domoticz: SendToHTTP,192.168.8.167,8080,"/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=27&switchcmd=On" SendToHTTP,34.226.171.107,80,"/update?api_key=SECRET&field4=1" But no success. I could go crazy :o But the quotes are...

EDsteve

I tried the build from your download link. But same problem :( Just to be sure that the mistake is not on my side: I write the blank_4MB on the Wemos, then i flash your firmware (ESP_Easy_mega-20191016-11-PR_2667_normal_ESP8266_4M1M) i add the wemos to my wifi and set these rules: On System#Boot do ...

EDsteve

Today i set up a new Wemos D1 from a different computer and in a different location where they have "wired internet". And from there it worked flawless. But when i bring the Wemos back home where i only have internet via LTE modem. It won't send any data. The strange thing: One out of abou...

EDsteve

I did edit your posts to remove the API key :) Thanks :D Can you also test with multiple values in Thingspeak? Just to see if something at the end gets lost or if it is some kind of extra character inserted. I tried with three values. And also "hard coded" values. Same problem :( I just r...

EDsteve

When i send a empty request to thingspeak from the browser like this: http://34.196.204.67/update?api_key=TOPSECRET&field4= In thingkspeak it shows empty as well. But in a different way. Maybe that info helps someone. From ESPeasy: 2019-10-24 16:47:27 UTC,136, 2019-10-24 16:52:27 UTC,137, 2019-1...

EDsteve

ThingSpeak wants you to send in 15s intervals. You need to have the interval set to 15000.

I tried that before already and tried it again now with 20s. But no success

EDsteve

I have a update: I just read the arriving data at thingspeak. Something arrives at thingspeak. But with no data in it: 2019-10-24 15:58:14 UTC,117, 2019-10-24 15:59:14 UTC,118, 2019-10-24 16:00:14 UTC,119, 2019-10-24 16:01:14 UTC,120, 2019-10-24 16:02:14 UTC,121, 2019-10-24 16:03:14 UTC,122, 2019-10...

EDsteve

a log on how it is sent to the server, please let me know. If you can tell me quickly how to get that. I will do :) I am online via a cheap LTE router in Indonesia. I tried two different routers with two different ISPs already. Hmm. When i use the hostename api.thingspeak.com in the Thingspeak cont...

EDsteve

The only thing i can tell for now is that it happened once that the data was sent. One out of 200 requests. I have no clue why. Will investigate further and report here if i have any clues.

EDsteve

So then i am not sure what i am doing wrong. :? SendToHTTP is just not working. When i put this in the browser it works: 34.196.204.67:80/update?api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&field4=55 But why not from the rules? Hmm On System#Boot do //When the ESP boots, do timerSet,1,10 //Set Timer 1 for the next eve...

Shouldn't it be : On tempsolar#Temperature>20 do instead of : On [tempsolar]#Temperature>20 do ? -D Indeed... It's always the small thing things. Thanks. Works now.

These are my devices: ter.JPG And this is my rule same as you can find in the wiki: on [tempsolar]#Temperature>20 do GPIO,13,1 endon Wiki: ex.JPG But even the temp is over 20. The Value of the GPIO13 always stays at 0. I am not a friend o the rules b...

It seems you still need to fill this thread. So here are my 2 cents: I started my sensor-career with MySensors. That was already a amazing playground. Using the code provided by the (amazing) MySensors-community seemed to be the easiest way to flash your own sensors and actuators using Arduinos. Doi...

You definitely should "promote" it more. For example a "Support us" button on the forum header which everyone can see or on top of every thread in the forum. With only the announcement. Guests or member are not aware of it. Many people looking for technical solutions and don't re...

EDsteve

Coool

I didn't realize it's public though

But i like your thinking. Change to a open source job. First step to our new society

Between 10.000 and 100.000 people searching for ESPeasy every month. Should be just enough to make you quit your jobs. Well... depends on how high your status is

EDsteve

Very cool options. Thx for the links. Click and pay is what i was looking for so Ko-fi it is :) Coming back to topic: After let it run for a while i realized that it only works 60% of the time. I observe the MQTT broker and the MQTT messages from my deep-sleep-node are only send randomly. Couldn't f...

EDsteve

You are awesome. Thanks for the link.
I uploaded your test-build and it works without issues for now.

BTW: Is there a donate-button somewhere?

EDsteve

Hi, after i updated my weather station from ESPEasy_mega-20180522 to ESPEasy_mega-20180826 i experienced the same issue: System info data is sent after wake up (just for testing i added Voltage info in Devices). But the BME280 sensor data is not sent after wake up from deep sleep. Sleep awake time: ...

EDsteve

And how is the rule to send data over serial? That is the question of this thread.
