Let's Control It

Hello all, i've made two different solutions for me: For power consumption i use a counter module. They can be mounted in the distribution box and the pulse output can safely be connected to an ESP or other devices. Security comes first, i tend to avoid selfmade circuitry with mains power. For just ...

Hello, Use a separate power supply for the 3,3V, not the power from the TTL converter. I kow that there are reports on the net saying that works. Due to my experiences it mostly does not. Remember that EspTool just shows that data is going out. It does not say if data arrives in the flash neither do...

From my point of view the wiki should provide the documentation. Things like "Supported sensors/actors", Setups and examples, some HowTo's and so an. Then i'd like to see a separate "Problem solved" area in the forum, kinda FAQ or similiar. I read the forum often and try to answe...

The Sonoff Dual uses a separate MCU connected to the Serial Port of the ESP. This is not supported by ESPEasy / ESPEasy Mega at this time. Tere were some efforts already on this device, see https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=721&p=14685&hilit=sonoff+dual#p14685 Regar...

Hello, i'm not using domoticz, i just have an idea. ESPEasy is not memory persistent at all so counters in the ESP-chip are lost on a power failure or reboot. On top it isn't that easy to make ESPEasy count time without writing a plugin for that. So if possible i'd just let the ESP send "on/off...

Would it work if one installs the dev7-zipfile and copy the newer libs and sources over the existing dev7-directories?

Shardan

Yeah, you shouldnt use the link called "Source code". Github adds that automaticly and it misses the submodules. Use the first link instead, called ESPEasy_v2.0.0-dev7.zip. I'll see what i can do to remove or otherwise correct that source code file. I'll ask the nodemcu-build guy if he wa...

Currently you can "disable" plugins by just deleting them. Shardan: the IR plugins have been re-enabled, but now ESPeasy doenst compile. The only way to compile it is to "disable" some plugins. I could make a nice config-file where you can select your plugins. Altough the point ...

Hello, i've just noticed that the IR-library is disabled due to a bug. When will it be back? Regards Shardan it wasn't actually a bug. with the new IR library we just hit our IRAM limit it seems. (and there is only 2-3k of IRAM to start with) I created an overview of the different plugin sizes: htt...

Hello,

As far as i know there is the possibility to use the IFTTT plugin for this purpose.
I've never tested that, but maybe give it a try.

Shardan

Shardan

I don't think that this is the issue, but to which GPIO's are SDA and SCL configured? ESPEasy can set the configuration to any availlable GPIO in the "Hardware" tab. If that's ok too i'll build a test circuit on breadboard to see if something is wrong in the firmware. I assume it's correct...

Hello Thomas,

if I remember right the BMP180 is the follower of the BMP085 while BMP280 and BME 280 are different chips.

Maybe give it a try and change the task settings to BMP085 instead of BMP280.

Shardan

Shardan

Yep, it's the espbridge. It can be used bi-directional if the command supports that. perfect, so I can transmit data from my fhem to my oled-display lines 7+8 :-) When making the IR hardware i contacted the developer as the IRSEND was not supported and he had it integrated within some days. I use a...

Shardan

Hello Dylantje,

you may try to reset it via the serial port using the Arduino IDE or ESPlorer, sending a "reset" to the ESP.

Or you may try a hard reset:
- Switch off the ESP
- Connect Rx and Tx pins to eachother
- switch on and wait at least a minute.

Shardan

Hello Dave,

there is a newer Version of ESPEasy, the "ESPEasyMega", ESPEasy 2.0.0.
The framed OLED plugin is already included in the 2.0.0.

Does the LED strips need to be controlled with IR? Can't you control it with gpio instead? Sure i could. But i have several LED stripes in that room, on top TV, stereo and DVD player. It needs only one single IR transceiver in the room to control all the devices from my homecontrol. For controlling...

Hello Thomas, the codes are in Hex. From FHEM you can use the "ESPEasy" pluigin from FHEM: https://fhem.de/commandref.html#ESPEasy I bought some very cheap LED stripes from the DIY market and virtualized the remote control with FHEM "remotecontrol" https://fhem.de/commandref.html...

hm....

i think i've made a mistake.
All the fields of a dummy variable are number values including decimals.
I don't think you can put time format values into such a variable.

One of the programmers reading? Is that possible?

Hello, as i don't use thingspeak i have to guess a bit. Basically the ESP is a single threaded system so tasks will more or less impact each other. I'm at the office atm so i can't test anything. The "Message Delay" is not meant to make long breaks between transmissions. Servers like thing...

Hello, the pictures a Google and AliExpress show some differences, maybe soe not... that's why i ordered several different ones ( and hope i'll get the same with the enxt order :evil: ) Just give a 50pf at the sensing pad a try.

I think the only other Ssonoff device that works this way (with the secondary MCU) is the one with 4 relays. For your information: There are several sonoff devices with secondary MCU. The Sonoff basic works with standard compiled ESPEasy without issues. The Sonoff 4CH (4 relays) has relays and butt...

PS:

I just checked with ESPEasyMEGA on a nodeMCU - it works without issues too using the standard OLED plugin..
The "OLED framed" works, but the command for remote writing does not.

For some clearance. The "Sensor Delay" Setting on the config page controls how often your ESP8266-sensor reports to FHEM, Openhab or whatever. As far as i know used with "Deep Sleep" to wake the ESP from DeepSleep every "n" seconds. (never played with this setting..) Fr...

My 'problem' is that the DST-box has been checked, but the extra hour is not added! Local manipulation of time-offset should not be required to get the difference between Wintertime and Summertime.

At installation of the 'Mega-firmware' I have checked the box for DST, but starting 25th of March I don't see the expected 1hour-shift in time: display in ESPEasy of Systemtime is still 'wintertime'.

Hello Genesys, These sensors do not work on contact but by capacity. Even if you touch the sensor itself you usually won't get in electrical contact, there is a lacquer coat on the copper. Your finger and the sensor build a capacitor, small but big enough to trigger the sensor chip. I don't know the...

Shardan

Hello Dylantje, hm... not out of the box. Check if the GPIO is set to default boot state: - Open the webpage of the R8 - Go to "Hardware" - Check the Setting of "Pin mode 10 (D12)", it should read "Default" usually. It might help if you set it to "Output low"....

Shardan

Yep, right.

The GPIO16 sends a "Wake Up" to the reset.
If this connection is missed, the ESP would start once and then sleep forever

Hello,

I'd recommend not to use the GPIO0 as it is used for flashing.
Any other GPIO can be used, it's configurable in the ESPEasy devices.

Shardan

Yes. These 2 connectors Then it should be easy to do. These counters usually have a so called "Open Collector" output. You will need just a resistor 2,2K .... 10 K and some wiring: Counter-Connection.jpg . The wiring should not be too long as i assumed the ESP is placed near the counter. ...

The Sonoff basic uses both: A switching power supply from mains down to 5V and a linear regulator from 5V to 3.3V The transformer might produce some EMI as paxi said. This may influence the leads and the touch sensor itself. I never tested the power suppy of the sonoff for noise or connected externa...
