About the command you try to do, can you test it by pasting it in the command field on the tools page? This allows you to test if it is working and also will generate an URL just how you need it including the correct HTML escaped characters. yes i tested, sorry to forgot to report. oled,2,1,T=[var#...

Not sure why the [var#1] is not working if you enter it via HTTP. Could be that it just got messed up by the URL encoding. You can also try %v1% as it is a short code for [var#1] without the option to format it as we discussed before (nr. of decimals) I don't know what the # and [] will be turned i...

thanks for your help. right now i'm playing a bit with mqtt and yes, i had to implement a second mqtt controller inside espeasy and set it as OpenHAB MQTT using http commands i do not succeed on my test to update oled with a variable. is it possible do something like: http://192.168.0.138/control?cm...

thanks again for your support, now i have material to try test it :) just last question for today, i'm testing what i have done right now with an oled and i suceed on display what i need. now the question is, can i use http or mqtt to update the oled using some parameters that are coming from domoti...

If you measured the resistance using a multimeter, the result will for sure be incorrect. If you used the values measured by the ESP, the correction will probably be correct for those 3 points you used, but no idea if the rest will be correct, nor what the error will be. no i used value displayed b...

megamarco83

First the rules part. %value% is not correct, you need %eventvalue1% let,4,ln(%eventvalue1%) //ln(R) let,5,([var#2])*([var#4])) //B*ln(R) No need for the braces and you have one too many let,5,[var#2]*[var#4] //B*ln(R) you are right now it's working! thanks! now i calibrate new coefficient A B C us...

megamarco83

Obviously you'll need to amend based on your switch names/values, MQTT topics and if you're using other timers. If you don't want MQTT I'm sure other actions/rules could be worked into this. Hope this is helpful for someone! hi, thanks for sharing, i tested using monitor to save tasks on devices we...

These relays trigger (depending on the version) with "low", so why you ask for high trigger buttons? (basically a button) The Buttons in your installation will never trigger the relay directly. Thats the essential part of home automation, to split trigger and actuator/relay completely wit...

For testing i connected 2x8 port on one 16 channel MCP and i tested also 2 different MCP. That worked fine. (I had one problem, I messed up one solder point and there was no connection one 1 pin) You should be able to trigger all the relay's with a manual ground connection, maybe do this first. i u...

megamarco83

As far as i know Tasmota works "best" with an MQTT Server backend. I would recommend that you dive into the topic of a central Home-Automation "Hub", which collect all sensors and controls all outputs. I will probably go in the direction of ioBroker, because it support a lot (al...

I'd go for a pull-up resistor on any input GPIO, and use the button to pull it down to 0, that's way more reliable, the internal pull-ups in ESP's are between 30k and 100k so I'd use external pull-ups of 2.2 or 4.7k on the long cables to avoid spurious interferences simulating a button-press. thank...

Putting all nodemcu's in the central junction box, then adding a (higher powered) PSU there is a proper solution, not much voltage-drop to expect. Also the relays should be in that junction box, switching mains power for lights and blinds-motors. that's what i want: 1 common place for 1st floor wit...

megamarco83

Quite a project :D Have you considered products like Shelly switch/dimmer? You need to be careful mixing low voltage GPIO's with 110/230V. There are some strict rules when e.g. having mixed cables in the walls. Also it's true that ESP8266 doesn't consume much current, but if you have many on the sa...

There is an issue with some of these ESP32 boards. If I remember correctly, the fix was to add a delay before pulling up the EN pin on the ESP. So adding a capacitor + resistor should do the trick here. See: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/solved-failed-to-connect-to-esp32-timed-out-waiting-for-pac...

Hello RST : connect it to EPS gpio only if you have any reason to reset the MCP board. I never had the need. ITA, ITB those are interrupt pins. You can safely ignore them.

Not all GPIO pins on the ESP can be used for switches as some need to have a specific state at boot. (e.g. GPIO 0, 2 and 15) Also not all pins have a pull-up resistor (e.g. 15, 16) and not all can be used in interrupt driven code (e.g. 16) See the documentation: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/la...
