Let's Control It

Hi NightBird, It's not so much that I don't have time - it's more that I don't have a SH1106 device to play with! A quick Google search tells me that they are very similar to the SSD1306 and there is at least one library out there which would probably work for you. For example, take a look at https:...

Hi, Give this a try.... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35706630/ESPEasy%20R147%20%284M%20with%201M%20SPIFFS%29%20%2B%20MQTTImport%20%2B%20FramedOLED.bin This is ESP Easy R147 including MQTTImport and FramedOLED compiled for 4Mb Flash with 1Mb SPIFFS. I don't understand where the problem is to c...

You could also try MQTTImport available in the playground.... I think it will do what you want.

Hi Bassmint - Sorry, I don't come by this forum very often any more. You must be doing something wrong here. Just to be sure that there have been no breaking changes for MQTTImport in the last few months, I downloaded ESPEasy R147 from GitHub and added the version of MQTTImport from the playground i...

namirda

Hi,

You can delete string2float from extra_utilities - the function is duplicated in MQTT Import.

namirda

Sorry Jon - no idea. I've never seen a compiler warning like that - does it come from the normal Arduino IDE or are you using VS? I have just downloaded R124 to give it a try and it seems to work OK for me. Does the same config run properly on an earlier version of ESPEasy but not on R124? Costo see...

namirda

@timsson Sorry but I still don't think I understand your problem. However, I think you are asking for MQTTImport to import strings and not only floating point values?? If that is the case then I don't think it is possible without major overhaul of ESPEasy - the whole framework is designed around sen...

namirda

@JSilver Yes indeed! The routine I used for splitting the command into component parts was an ESPEasy routine from misc.ino and I had not noticed that it used both comma and space as delimiter - hence your problem when trying to display strings with spaces. Now fixed in the playground. The problem w...

namirda

@jsilver, OK - I have just uploaded yet another new version of the scrolling display to the playground which includes a write option. The command syntax is either: a) tskname,Line,String - where tskname is the name you have given to the scrolling oled task, Line is the line number which must be an i...

Hi, There an update to OLED Scrolling Display plugin in the Playground which should hopefully play nicely with ESPEasy 114+, Core 2.3 - it still needs the same OLED library from the Playground as before. There is one new input parameter which allows you to change the scroll speed - from very slow (a...

namirda

Hi All, Sorry about the silence but I have been busy on other projects for a while and did not realise how quickly stuff gets out of date in the ESPEasy world! I have put an updated version of MQTTImport into the playground which runs with ESPEasy118, Core 2.3 and PubSub 2.6 - hopefully there will n...

namirda

There have been some changes to the webserver in ESPEasy R99 which hopefully should fix this problem.

Please try ESPEasy R99 along with V0.3 of MQTT Import from the playground.

@TridentTD - your proposal for passing imported values to Rules has been included.

N

namirda

I have made some changes to this plugin to match the changes in ESPEasy R99. New version V0.3 is available in the playground.

N

namirda

I have made yet another change to this plugin to match the changes made recently in ESPEasy R99. Update available in playground.

namirda

Hi,
I don't understand what your problem could be but I have made recent changes to MQTTImport, OLEDFramed and IFTTTMaker - so please download these again from the playground along with the Extra_Utilities and then try again.

Thanks

N

namirda

I have just uploaded a new version of MQTT Import with a few bugs removed.

If you want to try it, then please download _P210_MQTTImport.ino and also the newest version of Extra_Utilities.ino.

namirda

I have just uploaded a new version with a few bugs removed - it runs much lighter now. if you want to try it, please re-download the revised version of Extra_Utilities.ino as well. @rajbadri - I think you could try your doorbell again with this new version - it can handle a delay of 1 second without...

namirda

@rajbadri On one of my esps I reduced the delay down to 2 seconds without problems but it is true that the esp is becoming fully loaded at that point - I have about 80% load with a 2 second delay ( and 6 other plugins running) which is too high. When I wrote this plugin I was thinking about checking...

namirda

@msev

On my units, it takes about 2 seconds to scroll from one frame to the other. The time between frame changes is determined by the Delay parameter.

N

namirda

@ppp33 I can't really help you - it seems to run well for me. I have two units which have been running without problems for several days. This plugin uses 3 different fonts, some simple graphics and some scrolling and so it is more resource hungry than most other plugins. However, so far I have not ...

namirda

Thanks for replying. You're absolutely correct of course - I had not noticed that. However it still works to do something like: #if adcvcc == true ADC_MODE(ADC_VCC); #endif and allow the user the option to set adcvcc with a #define statement at the top of the espeasy.ino. Of course that's not quite ...

namirda

You will find what you need on github. https://github.com/ESP8266nu/ESPEasy

There is no image - you will have to compile it yourself

namirda

@Martinus I've been looking though your compilation "Feature Wish List" http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=736 to see what I can help with. In item number 18 you say that to measure VCC is not likely due to technical reasons or out of scope. I have just been looking into this and ...

namirda

No you can't use 'MQTT Import' directly for this. However, I think you might be able to use the code which I proposed as a solution to another problem in this post http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=5797#p5797 . Using that code you can give system commands via MQTT which I think is ...

namirda

This is a question which has been asked a number of times. I see from the 'ESPEasy Feature Wish List' compiled by Martinus http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=736 (item 39) that this will maybe not happen soon. In the meantime, you might like to try this workaround which works great for me. ...

namirda

Sorry - fixed now. That's the second time I have made that mistake!!!

namirda

I have uploaded a new version of the Scrolling OLED plugin to the playground. The only change is the addition of a small Wifi Strength Indicator graphic in the top right corner - I saw this had been requested by somebody and it was easy to do. The number of bars is calculated as (RSSI+100)/8 - perha...

namirda

That's strange. I have tried the same ping checks here and see no difference whether IFTTT Maker is included or not. http://s22.postimg.org/qxxzr3tld/ping.jpg IFTTT Maker is a very simple plugin and I can't see any reason why it should overload your esp - unless perhaps you are using a very short De...

namirda

You are only checking the value every 30 seconds - it's quite possible that you are simply missing the event.

namirda

I suppose the value of [doorbell#switch] changes from 1 to 0 when the doorbell button is pressed? If that is the case then you could set the lower limit to 0.5 and the upper limit to 1.5 with a hysteresis of 0.2. This would send a trigger event called 'button' to IFTTT.com each time your doorbell bu...

namirda

I have seen a few requests for the option to send push notifications directly from ESPEasy. The best way to do this is to use an external utility like MQTTWarn running on the same machine as your MQTT broker - but then you need to have MQTT running. If you don’t want to use MQTT then it is quite pos...

namirda

The 'MQTT Import' plugin creates its own MQTT client which is different from the one used by the ESPEasy framework. The log messages prefixed by 'MQTT'' are coming from the ESPEasy framework and those prefixed by 'CON' are coming from "MQTT Import". Therefore both clients have trouble conn...

namirda

Hi msev I think you need to do a bit more reading about ESP Easy! It is not difficult and the wiki is quite good. You need to use your browser to view the webserver from your ESP you will see something like this: http://www.esp8266.nu/images/f/fd/ESPEasy1.png Add a new task and select "MQTT Imp...

namirda

Yes - better you compile on your own - it's good to learn! I am using R93, Core2.1 and Arduino 1.6.5 - I haven't yet tried 1.6.8. If you want to import 8 MQTT topics, you will have to call my 'MQTT Import' plugin twice - and give each instance a different name such as Import1 and Import2. You can th...

namirda

Hi,

Sorry. You need to include the file 'Extra_Utilities.ino' in your sketch - It is available in the playground. It is required for both my plugins.

N

namirda

I have another plugin which some people may find useful. The plugin is a modified version of the OLED SSD1306 which allows for larger fonts and scrolling frames The original version of the OLED plugin allowed for 8 lines of text to be displayed at once – but the small size of the display meant that ...

namirda

So sorry. I use a very customized version of ESPEasy and some inconsistencies creep in!

I have uploaded a new version of _P210_MQTTImport.ino to Github and it should be OK now.

N

namirda

I have noticed several people recently asking for a means to display data from remote sensors. The official globalsync option is the official response to this demand and is a fully fledged and very flexible custom messaging service between ESPEASY units. For those who are already using MQTT I would ...

Hi Martinus

Github account name is the same as used on this forum - namirda

namirda

Can somebody please explain how to upload something to the ESPEasyPluginPlayground on Github.

I have a plugin or two I'd like to contribute for consideration/comments but there doesn't seem to be upload access to the Playground.

Thanks

I have been trying to use the option in espeasy to log to a remote syslog server. This works OK except that I find the esp entry logged on the syslog server with a facility of 'kernel' rather than something more appropriate. I have taken a look at the espeasy routine 'syslog' in module 'networking' ...

namirda

Hi Martinus, I believe that the WebServer is the main offender when it comes to dynamic memory allocation - particularly modules P012 (Display - LCD2004) and P023 (Display - OLED SSD1306) which have the most extensive setup options due to the custom task settings for those tasks. From the main menu ...

namirda

Hi Martinus, Fair enough - I would certainly have done the same. I have played around with various options today and have found that the fragmentation problem goes away completely if you preallocate the maximum storage requirements for the variable 'reply' in function 'handle_devices' in module WebS...

namirda

Hi Martinus, Thanks for the reply. I came across the bug while trying to develop a new plugin. I was trying to give appropriate error messages using constructions similar to some of yours such as : LoadTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex); String log = F("200 Device "); log+=ExtraTaskSettings.Ta...

namirda

Hi, I've been playing around trying to add some of my own modules to ESP Easy and I have maybe found a bug. I believe there is a small but devious bug in LoadTaskSettings in module misc.ino. It was not updating ExtraTaskSettings.TaskIndex for the non SPIFFS case. My proposed update is below. How sho...

namirda

Hi Mark,

Yes it does. Mosquitto is a common choice and is pretty painless to set up.

N

namirda

Hi Mark, I think a better approach would be to use the mqtt facilities of ESP Easy to output data from the SR04 and then use MQTTWarn to send the email/push notifications or whatever else you need. MQTTWarn works really well - it is very flexible and can be configured easily with simple python scrip...

namirda

This must be something that is easy to answer! I have my ESP node working nicely in OpenHAB with several sensors - DHT22, SR04 and a couple of simple magnetic contact switches. The ESP properly detects any OPEN or CLOSE event on the switches but I need to be able to read the OPEN/CLOSE status of the...
