Ok, thank you!

Ok, I still need to set the initial lowest value after booting so my rule looks like this now and it seems to be working. On System#Boot do TaskValueSet,4,1,[serre#Temperature] TaskValueSet,4,2,[serre#Humidity] TaskValueSet,4,3,[serre#Pressure] endon On serre#Temperature Do If [serre#Temperature] > ...

I have an ESPEASY system running with a BME280 sensor. I would like to keep the highest and lowest value of the temperature sensor inside a dummy task until I reset the device. This is probably possible with an easy rule but I totally lack knowledge of writing rules. My first attempt (not tested) on...

can somebody perhaps share their build so i can test with that one.(i downloaded build dated 15-04 23:30 so maybe i am doing something wrong) You can clone or download zip from this repo https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/tree/1cf4bb43dcccd183160172e682d70f0f55666354 or this https://github.co...

Great, I found you guys on Patreon meanwhile. Keep it up!

I made an update to the pull request. Can you test it? Hi, confirmed working! - Changing the GPIO of a task doesn't reset the Total count.- - Deleting a task and re-adding it again with same parameters won't restore an earlier saved value from RTC for that task. So I guess all is working like it sh...

bulthaup

I just made a build in VScode but the issue is still there.

Setting task1 to 999 with formula %value%/100 gives 9 after a 1st reboot (999/100= 9,99 --> rounded to 9 because of decimals)

After a second reboot, Total count becomes 0 (9/100= 0,99 --> rounded to 0)

bulthaup

are you saying that this formula is applied after you delete a device and add it again? Well, the formula is applied once again to the existing Total pulse count value upon reboot. So if I would collect 99 pulses from my gasmeter with the current setup (I'm talking about not using SetPulseCounterTo...

bulthaup

Because the formula %value%/100 was still there, setting the value to 999 with the command, caused the unit to to 999/100 = 9,99. Because I set the decimals to 0, 9,99 was rounded to 9... This actually shouldn't happen imho. The formula should only be accounted for when new pulses are added to the t...

bulthaup

Hold your horses, I think I found the culprit! Haha, you will not believe this... I'm using a formula because the gasmeter needs 100 pulses for 1m3 of gas. Capture.PNG Obviously, every time I set the value of task1 (the only task where I eventually set the formula %value%/100 ) and I reboot the D1, ...

bulthaup

Can you send me an updated bin file again please? I'll try yours..

bulthaup

Try setting a different value, so you can see to what task it is written. For example "100" and "200" and try sending it to task 3, just to make sure I didn't mess up with the offset GravityRZ, Is it possible to perform the following tests? - Take blank D1 Mini, flash firmware w...

I don't have any industrial psu here atm due to corona lockdown. The best I could try was a phone adapter from samsung and a very short usb cable. Could this really be an issue? I thought that psu issues were more current when the esp is crashing or rebooting all of a sudden. Writing to RTC is not r...

Did some more tests. - Task 1: Pulse counter (reed switch) on GPIO14(D2) and GND 1) SetPulseCounterTotal,99,1 2) Reboot ESP 3) Total Count resets to 0 - Added task 2: Pulse counter (this time I didn't set a GPIO, just left it at NONE) 1) SetPulseCounterTotal,99,2 2) Reboot ESP 3) Total Count restore...

bulthaup

Something is still not right though..

Setting the value of a Total pulse count to 250 and then rebooting the device gives a weird result of 2 ???

bulthaup

Sorry, I had to edit my first "positive" post.. I have built my own bin file with VSCode. At first I added the gasmeter pulse counter with a simple reed switch. Total count was saved and survived warm reboot. Then I added an NPN sensor and generated a few pulses. Suprisingly, both Total co...

bulthaup

Hmm that's an interesting point you just made. If we delete the task, the task value data is not removed from the RTC stored data. So it may cause other issues (maybe) if you change tasks. I will add a clear of the data stored in the UserVar if a task is removed. I doubt it will be a real issue wit...

What pulse meter do you use? Do you have a simple reed switch to test also?

bulthaup

I don't think so. I switched the reed switch to D7 (GPIO-13) and the issue remains. The sensor is adding pulses so I don't know why they are not kept in RTC memory :( I hooked up a NPN sensor as well on task2. It's same scenario as my "production" system. In this test setup on a D1 mini, I...

bulthaup

I can reproduce the issue with a D1 Mini. A simple reed sensor (Aleph PS-3150 Proximity Sensor) is connected to GPIO-14 (D5) and the other leg to GND. Adding it to task1 or task2 doesn't make any difference. Executing the "taskrun, 1" command also does not trigger the values to be stored t...

bulthaup

Well, for both counters I use mode FALLING. Debounce time of 500ms

bulthaup

Hi, thanks for the build. It still doesn't work for me :( As you can see, the "Time" value for the gasmeter (task 2) got restored somehow?? I'm going to make a new system with a D1 mini to rule out that the nodemcu is bugging me. I'll provide some feedback asap Before: before.jpg After reb...

bulthaup

I looked at the code and one thing jumps to mind. The values are restored after the callback functions are set, so maybe the unit receives a pulse almost immediately and that may overwrite the values in the UserVar array. I will swap it so you can test it. Edit: See https://github.com/letscontrolit...

TD-er wrote: ↑06 Apr 2020, 23:26 I think not updating on every pulse, or at least frequently is cause for confusion.

Just did some tests with your change in the rule but after a reset, only the Total counts of task 1 is restored. Task 2 stays 0 again.

Is there a way of debugging this?

bulthaup

On my system, the only rule I have active and running is this one:

On Clock#Time=All,23:59 do
timerSet 1,55
Endon

on Rules#Timer=1 do
resetpulsecounter,1
resetpulsecounter,2
EndOn

It basically resets all pulse counters 5 seconds before midnight.

It could be related. Hi TD-er, Did another test today. I had collected 180 pulses for water and 43 pulses for gas today after 15 hours runtime since 00u00. (resetpulse command). I deliberately executed the "taskrun, 1" and "taskrun, 2" command and after a reboot, all pulses were...

bulthaup

Well, I did some tests on another nodemcu before upgrading to the release where you added the pulsereset command. My tests were fine. I could add 2 pulse counters and both tasks survived a reboot, but I only counted a few pulses on each task and didn't let the nodemcu run for a few hours. Neverthele...

bulthaup

The pulse counter does not save the data on every count, so if the task has not been "run" (see taskrun command) and/or the interval is set to 0 or a very long interval, then you will miss all pulses since the last time the task was "run". Hi TD-er, The interval is set to 10 sec...

I was thinking about the same idea, to make it an option, with a "minimum time between events" Hi TD-er, I have a nodemcu v3 running mega-20200328 and it collected pulses from my NPN sensor and reed sensor the whole day for water and gas. I have been using the resetpulsecounter command su...

Hi TD-er,

I'll keep an eye on the commits in the next couple of weeks then! thanks!

bulthaup

Yes, the Dummy plugin should get the last values restored after a reboot. There is however a very big BUT here. These values can only be kept if the ESP is not loosing its power. If you remove power, the RTC memory is lost in which these values are being stored. If you need that, then you have to w...

I found some more info and a tear-down of these devices on a the German forum mikrocontroller.net . It seams that the OTA update with Tuya-convert has been disabled by Tuya with a new firmware and these devices would have the new update.

The Total value will only be sent when the counter's values change. Hi Thomas, thanks for your assistance so far. I just think a few things are missing from the rule. The / in front of sensors for example. If I don't add this, the rule is not pusblishing anything to the broker. Publish /sensors/wat...

Then you can set the offset again in a dummy variable and just let the rules output the sum of both. Would you mind explaining this further in an example? Does the value of such dummy variable survive a reboot? Because I'm issuing a reboot every night at 0:00 with a rule to start collecting the Tot...

The basic idea is to use rules to send the counted value only when it has changed. Hi Thomas, I tried to read and analyse your rule but I'm having a hard time understanding it.
