Hello, I was using NODEMCU ESP32 devkit until now, but now I am thinking of integrating the ESP32 SMD module with the relays and avoid using NODEMCU. Can anyone suggest me how to code ESP32 SMD module? Should I program first and then solder ESP32 SMD module on the board? What is the scenario if some...

Just for the sake of argument, imagine it would be possible. So you update the password in Domoticz and the password on all connected devices also changes. Now think of a reason WHY you change a password. One reason could be because the old password was compromised, or it is simply policy, which ha...

Ath wrote: ↑08 Dec 2020, 07:42 That is not possible, nor in any way safe.

How often do you change the password on Domoticz? After that, all equipment connecting to it need to have their settings updated.
It's like when changing your e-mail password, you'll have to update all e-mail clients. Manually.

Agreed. Fair enough.

Hello, I am just curious to know is there any way that if we change the login user id and password in domoticz the userid and password of the controller in ESPeasy will automatically change? Or does someone have any suggestions so that I can work on it? Or I should move on to continue with what I ha...

This setting you refer to is about counting the number of failed connect attempts. However if it isn't connected to WiFi at all, there will be no connect attempt. What you can do is keep track of the events in the rules and issue a reboot if it fails to connect or reconnect. Just some example of ho...

Hello everyone,

I am using ESP32 NODEMCU and working on reset on connection lost. But ESP32 is not resetting when there is no connection between the ESP32 & the wifi. Need some help. I am using ESPeasy(ESP32), Domoticz, and a local host wifi router.

GPIO 4 & 5 should be the most 'stable' ones during boot. See also: https://rabbithole.wwwdotorg.org/2017/03/28/esp8266-gpio.html But you're writing about a "pull down" resistor. Why a pull-down resistor? It is more common to have a pull-up resistor and use the switch to pull the signa...

ssd

What do you mean? This sensor is using the (Hardware) serial port, so you must uncheck "Enable Serial port:" on the Tools->Advanced page. This does make sure no logs are sent to the serial port and also any incomming data is not interpreted as commands and thus allows exclusive access to ...

Have you configured a de-bounce value for the input? (50 - 100 msec), and does that GPIO have a physical pull-up resistor installed? (~4k7-10k, the internal pull-up is ~80-100k so a bit 'weak'). What length are the wires that connects the input to GPIO5? I have not configured the De-bounce value......

Hello, I am currently using ESP8266 for controlling 4 relays along with ESPeasy and Raspberry Pi. But every time I reset the ESP8266-NodeMCU the GPIO4 starts flickering and I need to reset it 2-4 times to make it stable. Input is taken from a manual switch at GPIO5 with the same IDX as GPIO4 to cont...

Disable on the Hardware I2C Interface tab and on the Tools tab advanced Serial port. I flushed my ESPeasy and reinstalled the firmware and the sensor works perfectly fine with the 217 plugin without disabling I2C interface or serial port. Will it have any adverse effect in long term? or is it fin i...

ssd

Well that configuration just simply is wrong. You cannot have an I2C address set and GPIO pins. That's not using the correct ESPEasy serial wrapper calls. I am using plugin 251 from the ESPeasy plugin and it is set by default. Can anyone suggest a perfect plugin without an I2C address? link of plug...

Thanks, everyone!!! Using 5V worked perfectly for me!

Hi,

[...] The relay is a 5v active relay. but all the 3 relays are the same and others are operating efficiently That's what Ton suggested... With a lower than usual driving level the tolerances of parts may have a lot more effect. So i should use level converter in between ESP and relay. Am I right?

ssd

But ESP8266 has no provision of 5V on its GPIO so we are bound to use 3.3V. And on checking using multimeter the input to the relay is 3.12 V and another relay switches at the same voltage. Well, you can use a level converter for that (a transistor and a few resistors can make you one). 3.12V is ju...

TD-er wrote: ↑14 Oct 2020, 14:42 Also make sure you don't have the same IDX active on other nodes. (notorious is using IDX 0 )

No, the index is not the same. ESP8266 or raspberry pi cannot handle the load over a period of time, is that an issue?

ssd

Is your relay input 5V or 3.3V? It may be that the relay input isn't stable enough at the high level of the ESP (3.3V) if the relay is for 5V. But ESP8266 has no provision of 5V on its GPIO so we are bound to use 3.3V. And on checking using multimeter the input to the relay is 3.12 V and another re...

If I use the I2C sensor I guess ESP32 supports only two I2C devices. As Ton already stated, for those sensors that only have a limited set of I2C addresses, you can use a multiplexer to overcome this issue. About the recent changes of I2C plugins. The update is intended to add support for multiple ...

ssd

OK, I just googled the ACS712 sensor (didn't know it) and it is just an analog output sensor (Hall effect sensor) So you can just use the ADC plugin. Just make sure you don't use pins connected to ADC2 of the ESP32 as those do not work well when WiFi is used. Okay, thank you for this information. :D

ssd

Recently I2C multiplexer support was added, but it is, because of build-size issues, only included in the 'normal' builds of ESPEasy. Alternatively, you can make a custom build of ESPEasy to enable support for this feature (search for FEATURE_I2CMULTIPLEXER in define_plugin_sets.h, it is inhibited ...

Well the SettingsStruct we use was not updated on all aspects before we started using ESP32 builds. ESP8266 only has GPIO 0 ..16, so there are no fields in the struct for more.

I am using GPIO 16,17,18,191,21 as input pins from the switch to ESP32 but I cannot update the same in the hardware tab of ESPeasy. Why there are no more pins after GPIO16 in the hardware section of ESP32? Or is it still unde...

And your 'wall switch' is connected to GPIO14 and the device-name is 'Hall_light' ? And GPIO14 has a pull-down/pull-up resistor? Is the switch connected to 3.3V or ground?

Maybe it's better to activate "LongPress"-event and use: On Hall_light#state=10 do (or On Hall_light#state=11 do) to switch your output-GPIO. This avoids short (0-500ms) switching operations. My idea: On Hall_light#state=11 do GPIO,16,1 endon On Hall_light#state=0 do GPIO,16,0 endon Or,.....

Maybe you can give the complete rules and some summary of what is intended purpose.

Sounds like there may be a delay and queue of rules event processing. What you can do is to start a timer and store the right state where you now try to set the GPIO pin. For example, you store the state in variable 1 and set the (new) msec timer. As soon as this timer expires, you set the GPIO to ...

You're welcome and glad it is working now. Hello again, I am facing a problem in the same scenario.

On ESPEasy you can add a Switch device (name: Relay), connected to GPIO-14 (mine is on GPIO-12) and the matching IDX in Domoticz, to get the status from your ESP to Domoticz. To control that same relay from Domoticz, you add a device MQTT Helper, that you give the same IDX and GPIO value. And I als...

Ah, and, assuming you run Domoticz on a Raspberry Pi, did you also install Mosquitto there, as the MQTT add-on to Domoticz?

You have to add a Domoticz controller (preferrably MQTT) and make sure you link the task to that controller. Only a few controllers support IDX values, so if you see a controller to be linked to the task and it is a Domoticz controller you will see the IDX field. In Domoticz, when you add a (dummy)...
