Let's Control It

Metatron

I think the answer sketches the idea, it is ok.
I have not had the time, yet, to implement it.
As soon as I have, I will post the result.

Metatron

Hello,

yes, in theory, this would be the most comfortable solution to transfer any cyclic analog signal to cylce counts.
However, with the suggestions here, I believe I can make it work with rules!
Thank you!

Metatron

PS: Everyone using the standard reed solution could also easily switch to the hall version, as it produces the same output, just better without bouncing.

Metatron

Thank you all for the valuable input. I will see, how I can use this. Please don't forget, the pulse counter produces not only the sum, but 3 values. And furthermore, there are codes and automations for all kind of smart home software systems, do deal with the output of the espeasy pulse counter. So...

Metatron

I would like to use the pulse counter. Count I trigger the pulse counter by a rule command without hardware? Or do I need to trigger it with a gpio connected to another one? I don't like the idea to send the pulses directly to my smart home software. If this is unavailable, e.g. for maintenance, I l...

Metatron

Thank you!

That looks promising, I will read it through!

Metatron

One pulse is one liter of gas.
This is the signal:

: unnamed (1).png (39.42 KiB) Viewed 11797 times

Sampling 1s to HA with esphome.

However, I want to prevent the traffic and solve it on esp side. I have some experience with espeasy.
I won't get much faster, but slower down to standstill at any position - if no gas is used.

Metatron

Hello, after experimenting with reed contacts, I found out, that I get a far more reliable measurement from a hall sensor (Type 49E) for the rotating magnet of some gas meters. With reed contacts, I always got some bouncing, and other effects. I now get a nice kind of sine wave, only the negative pa...

Metatron

Hello,

thank you, that works for me! (Using switch)

Metatron

Hello,

I am currently developping hardware for pulse counting with espeasy.
It would be very handy, if the onboard LED of my D1 mini would indicate a closed contact.
Can anyone please give me a hint, how to implement this?

Metatron

Hello, I was still suffering from occational freezing of the ESP. Removing thermometer, Buzzer etc did not help. Then I saved the settings and rules and moved from a Wemos D1 to a nodemcu, downgraded to the February release and reloaded the settings and rules. It is running now without freezes, but ...

Metatron

Hello, thanks for the quick reply. I found the reason this morning! I still had ticked "Use Safe Button (slower):" for the door bell button. I tried this to see if it can fix my problem, before. "slower" can be taken literally, it slows the whole system down. What does it to? Reg...

Metatron

Unfortunately, my esp has become now really slow, and even hung up one time. I added a d18b20 to GPIO 14 and moved the buzzer zu GPIO 0.
Is that a problem?
I am running mega-20210503

Metatron

Added 4.7k Pull-Up, quiet so far!

Metatron

Hello, thanks a lot for the hints! Over night, I detached the mass connection of the button - still false alarms. This means to me, that the internal pull-up does not work. Do I have a faulty Wemos? I had set external pull-up-resistors if there had not been internal ones. I will give it a try. Thank...

Metatron

Hello, I used to control my door with a raspi, now I switched to ESPEasy, and I encounter "ghost ringing", meaning the doorbell rings, but nobody pressed the button. I have the following setup with a Wemos Mini: GPIO 4+5 drive Relays for the door bell and the door opener. GPIO 14 is output...

Metatron

Hello,

so far, it is working fine with 7:30. Thanks!
Now I start to make it more complicated, again.

Metatron

You could try esplink, instead.
Same Hardware setting, a bit tedious to flash.

Or change wiring, use SMLReader. I have the confirmation of someone with the same meter, that it works without issues.

Metatron

Hello,

just to let you know, it seems, that he has solved his issue.
With the right config and wiring, all seems to work.
I see no difference to what I advised above.
I know from the iobroker forum.

Regards, Metatron

Metatron

Hello, thanks, I will try with 06:30, or later, we have vacation. ;) I also had problems, where clashing was impossible, only one opening scenario active. as I said, using MQTT, triggering the shutters works fine, in all the cases. I use ESP_Easy_mega_20210223_normal_ESP8266_4M1M.bin I use a NodeMCU...

Metatron

Very strange, since I don't have a "On Clock#Time=All,06:30:00 do" type of entry, no confusing opening of the shutters anymore. (For some days now) Has anyone an idea, why? I believe to have proven, that it is not a hardware issue. I have set ntp, timezone, coordinates, DST correctly, clos...

Metatron

This night, all the shutters went up again. I think a will take out all "On"-Events, to make sure, it is not a hardware issue.

Metatron

You have tried both? Connecting tx or rx to rx of the esp?
I will check mine within the next days.
Does your meter send signals? Have you checked with a digital camera?

Metatron

Sure, I took a copy, before simplifying it, I hope it is not a stupid mistake! But because there are only a few events ... On testpins do GPIO,13,1 Delay 1000 GPIO,13,0 Delay 2000 GPIO,12,1 Delay 1000 GPIO,12,0 Delay 2000 GPIO,4,1 Delay 1000 GPIO,4,0 Delay 2000 GPIO,5,1 Delay 1000 GPIO,5,0 endon On ...

Metatron

Hello, my ESPEasy started to behave odd. Closing shutters at 6:21pm, far to early, like 30min before sunset, opening shutters at midnight. I checked cr/lf, all fine. No reboots of the esp either (online since 11 days). Is there any other thing/character, which could confuse my esp? Should I use a di...

Metatron

Hello,

checking the information you posted above, you need to set the stop bit to "1".
Does this help?

Metatron

No, sorry, because I don't understand the task 12 device. Could you please send me a screenshot of the definition of that task?

Metatron

Hallo,

something I just realized in the system variables, that %sunrise% and %sunset% don't have seconds, only hours and minutes.
Could the problem be that

Code: Select all

 If   %sunrise-15m%<06:00:00

does not work, but should be:

Code: Select all

 If   %sunrise-15m%<06:00

??

Regards, Metatron

Metatron

First of all, thank you for you reply. I will need some time to think it through. I think you have some logical error, the event on Clock#Time=All,%sunrise-15m% do is fired exactly 1 time, every day. What if sunrise-15m is after 06:00? Well, I wrote: On Clock#Time=All,%sunrise-15m% do if %systime%>0...

Metatron

Hello, sorry to bother you again, but I am still struggling with my rules for sunrise, currently, nothing happens. Coordinates timezone etc. are fine. I also checked system variables - fine. Wiring is fine, manually all works. These are the rules: On Clock#Time=All,%sunrise-15m% do If %systime%>06:0...

Metatron

The configuration in ESPEasy looks like this: https://familie-emmrich.de/espeasy/espeasy1.png In Detail: https://familie-emmrich.de/espeasy/espeasy2.png In ioBroker, you use the smartmeter adapter and configure it like this: https://familie-emmrich.de/espeasy/iobroker.JPG The parameters might vary s...

Metatron

First of all, the wiring: For ESPEasy/ser2net, you need to connect to the Tx/Rx Pins, GND to GND and the supply to either 3.3V or 5V. All these Pins exist for the ESP, look carefully, you should see them. They are marked. This is it. If you don't get a signal, cross over Rx and Tx. Because you will ...

Metatron

Hello, ok, I know this meter. It works with push SML messages, that's fine. With iobroker, you could easily use ser2net within ESPEasy, and pipe the serial messages into iobroker. This is no MQTT, but works without problems. It you want to use MQTT, you could use SMLReader from github. But this is n...

Metatron

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback and support! This morning, nothing happened - and then I got an idea: My timezone was wrong! It did not play a role, while only dealing with sunrise/sunset, but for 6:00 it does! Sorry, my very own fault! I removed the variables, again. Now let's wait for t...

Metatron

Hallo,

an die Serielle Schnittstelle des ESP8266 anschließen geht.
Noch Interesse? dann gehe ich ins Detail.

Metatron

Thank you!
Does this expanding problem also apply to

Code: Select all

if %sysweekday%=1 or %sysweekday%=7

i.e. in general per line/expression?

Metatron

Hello, I try to define a rule to open my shutters according to sunrise, but no earlier then 6am. Later during weekends. However, it doeas not work. Can somebody see my mistake, please? On Clock#Time=All,%sunrise-15m% do If %systime% > 06:00:00 if %sysweekday%=1 or %sysweekday%=7 timerSet,1,3600 else...

Metatron

Wow, cool, thanks!

Metatron

Hello,

so far, well understood, thank you.
But what do I do, if I want something to happen, half an hour before sunrise?
Any hint, for a newbie, please?

Propably the easiest way is, to move my coordinates further to the east, right?
