Let's Control It

Ath

For reference, the use of Internal variables is documented here

With the few tests I was able to perform, I couldn't find any errors in the random function. 👍 For my application, I don't need any decimal places. However, I can round them with [int#1] However, this only seems to work with the number variables. The name variables are spitting out incorrect values...

Ath

It would then be something like:

Code: Select all

let,random,%c_random%(%v_min%,%v_max%)

Or in old-style notation:

Code: Select all

let,1,%c_random%(1,100)

Note: The conversion %c_random%(min,max) doesn't yet exist!

Thank you

Great, thanks for the feedback

In Rules you can put something like this:

Code: Select all

On temp#All do
  7dt,%eventvalue1% // First argument is the first temperature from the task, because 'Single event with all values' is enabled.
Endon

Ath

how can I translate this into this? genI2C,cmd,<i2c-command-sequence>[,<value-index>][,<cache-name>] I guess I need a rule for that ? An example would be very nice, maybe for the readme two, thanks! As promised, here's the suggested method for setting the calibration (untested... :?). I've been wor...

Ath

To see if the sign is actually the cause for these strange/unexpected values, you can replace "u16le" by "16le" to get a signed value from the device.

What is the difference between those versions?

In future I will use different boards than s2, but this firmware only works with s2 or not ? The firmware I posted above is for ESP32-S2 only, if you have other boards available for testing, I can build a matching binary, just say what board you have (ESP32 model and flash size). I can read the fir...

Ath

You may have done too many saves on a single day. Power-cycling the unit should solve it for now. Or there isn't enough free space to save the file. If that doesn't solve it, then you may have found the end of life for the flash chip

I turned it on, but I don't understand much here. I'll attach a screenshot below. https://i.postimg.cc/pVwmmRF3/del.jpg Can you attach images like that in the Forum Attachment tab?

We have a Starter guide for developing your own plugin for ESPEasy, and for building a Custom build, many steps are the same: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... ormIO.html
A lot of reading, and mainly aimed at Windows, but most of it should work on Linux or Mac too.

Ath

Ah, that's excluded from nearly all ESP8266 builds except Normal, as most of the builds won't fit otherwise.
This Custom build should have Notifiers included (untested):

Ath

For receiving less small 'chunky' parts of data from a serial device, you can set the RX Receive Timeout to ~5 msec, to make the plugin wait a little longer for incoming data, especially on a slower rate like 9600 baud.

Ath

A question for the developers - Is it possible to implement adding sensors from P2P network devices using the Unit Name-Unit Number bunch, as is done, for example, when adding several D18B20 on OneWire. So we could use, for example, channel 29 of the S2 mini to add channel 2 from the ESP01 That is ...

To be able to see all data in the log and events, it's needed to either connect to the configured TCP (or since recently UDP) port, OR check the "Process events without client" checkbox. That'll help a lot in the logging. And, watching the log via the USB-serial port of the ESP has a clear...

Ath

Would be better not to order ESP32-S2 (or C2) boards, as that's somewhat of an 'in between' model, better opt for ESP32, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6 or ESP32-S3 boards, as that are the most stable ESP32 MCUs. And when selecting a board, the ones with 8MB or 16MB Flash are preferred, so you can use a MAX buil...

The log you show is the normal WatchDog (WD) INFO level log that is output every 30 seconds, that's been there since forever...

Commands and data format options are described in the PR #5296, and also some examples are shown

This sounds right. Keep GPIO-0 connected to ground, then power-up or reset (EN to GND) the unit. Then it's in Flash-mode, and GPIO-0 can be disconnected. After flashing the unit will most likely be software-reset, so the flasher is expecting to be able to connect to the ESP, but that requires GPIO-0...

Ath

Most likely the serial adapter doesn't deliver enough power to start up the ESP. Better use a separate 5V power supply to the 5V pin of the ESP. The GND must be shared with the GND coming from the serial adapter, and 3V3 from the serial adapter must be disconnected from the ESP board.

Ath

There is currently no support for u8le, as little endian doesn't apply to a single-byte value :? Using u8 there will probably work better. When never set, and there's no real reason to change, it might return 0 though. Alternatively you could read the firmware version at register 0xFE using the comm...

For flashing via an external tool, the .factory.bin file must be uploaded. For flashing from the Tools page (Firmware Update button) you can use the 'regular' .bin file. If ESPEasy is still usable from the browser, please use the Firmware Update button to upload the .bin file (without .factory in th...

And to make these rules portable to other devices, you can set a Dummy Device using its name/valuename:

Code: Select all

  // Ergebnis in einer Variablen speichern (angenommen, Dummy-Device in Task 7, Feld 1)
  TaskValueSet ThingSpeak_2,Windgeschwindigkeit,[var#1]

NB: These names are not case-sensitive.

Ath

NB: Though not compatible, in this category we already have a DMX plugin available, that might be of interest when working with lighting equipment.

The serial port for the plugin should not be using HWSerial0 if you have the logging enabled in the Tools/Advanced page, so setting that at HWSerial1 is at least a configuration improvement. In ESP32 the serial ports are kind of virtual, but they can only be used for a single purpose, and the last i...

Hmm, if what ESPEasy, with the help of the Arduino Webserver, does, would be a HTML protocol implementation fault, then I'd expect other browsers to also fail on it.

An alternative could be to configure only for the UDP port, to free a handle of a very limited pool of handles (5). Or disable the P2P UDP port (if you don't need it) by setting the port number there (Tools/Advanced) to 0.

@Ath I'll add some info I think it will be a problem that it doesn't load new settings after a restart. I set Protocol: TCP&UDP and I send both TCP and UDP. After restarting, only TCP works, UDP doesn't work. If I press Submit on Ser2net devices, both TCP and UDP start to pass. How is your seri...

You seem to have the Range set to Normal, meaning the max expected distance is 800 mm (the highest peaks in your graph). For measuring up to 2 meter, Range should be set to Long. This might improve the behavior for the longer distances. For more accurate measurements you could consider a VL53L1X, as...

Do you need it to be wired, or are the ESPs both connected to the same WiFi network? As in the case of single-network, you can easily pass data via the P2P network (via SendTo command and optionally using the P2P Controller ). P2P is enabled by default on ESPEasy (using the IANA-registered UDP port ...
