Hello, with the upgrade of 4 units to ESPEasy_v2.0.0-dev12 I discovered a NTP problem. At boot, the time/date is not set to the NTP time but something with 1970 .... (that sounds Unix) After a number of cold and warm boots and NTP On/Off and changing NTP servers .... I was able to get the 4 units ba...

@Shardan, sorry, missed your post If you want just these two ESP's to "global sync", choose another UDP port just for these two. All the other ESP's should not see the data then. Thanks for the hint: another UDP port... That is great to iron-out layout problems. Also useful in other tight ...

Updated to dev12.
A great capability!

Thanks grovkillen. Thanks TD-er, Yes, MQTT could be a building block of a solution, but just a small one and adding a lot of additional complexity, but still not a LCD emulator. I use Domoticz, so the data is available there but scattered over several places and tabs. It would be nice to have a dash...

Thanks for the nice ESP Easy software and extensive Wiki. Currently I have an ESP unit under test to measure and control my central heating system with a LCD2004 for local read-out. Running GIT version: v2.0.0-dev11 on Wemos D1 mini. I like to monitor the shown info on the LCD2004, remote on a web-p...

As you can see in the previous picture, I have the SCTD 010T-5Amp. It's under test. I use it to measure the type of activity of my central heating. Central heating using between 10-100 Watt. SCTD 010T-5Amp results between 8 and 60mV on the breadbord. For me there is no need to re-calculate it to Vol...

Thanks Martinus for this explanation. I thought this variable was related to MQTT only. Some of my DS18B20 have an update rate of 500msec (close to the heater), so I tried to lower the message delay to 400msec. The result was a very spiked memory usage: from normal operation 20300 bytes down to spik...

Yes I know about cos-phi.
But my application is to define the state of the CV (boiler/heater).
No need for precise Watt reading.

First impression:

That causes some delay at least

Voltage for ESP8266 must be within the range of 1.7-3.6V
I think the fun with LiFePO4 Batteries is that you can do without regulator.
