Let's Control It

LisaM

Lisa, here you can compare the performance of my installation. ESP-210 is the Arduino version, ESP-01 is the Python version. The Python version sometimes hangs for a few seconds. Greetings Peter Peter, Am i correct to notice that the uPyEasy performance is good, besides the hardware tab? Cheers, Lisa

@Lisa What exactly do you mean with client/server here? Doe the blockly made script reside in, let's say, Domoticz and control functions from there in a upyEasy of does the upyEasy download the script and run it locally? It's a client-server based setup based on http communication: - Client (browse...

It's a javascript library, no need for setup.

As a non-programmer its ESPEasy that allowed me to be able to get anything done that I wanted to do. Rules may be limiting but they do allow folks like me to get things working. There are any number of firmwares and program languages out there but ESPEasy is the only one I have found that's actuall...

ok I understand. But the STM32 has no WIFI and therefore no mqtt integration. This probably makes the ESP32 most suitable. https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3905 Probably better than Wifi. 8-) And now you know where the fast uPyEasy demo came from... Wifi is always slow, ...

Thank you Lisa, I am looking forward to it. I know Ampy, that's really primitive. I thought you had a more comfortable method. Something like mounting the file system as a drive.

Hi @LisaM Thanks for your hard work on this, I'm excited to give it a try today! I notice the Wiki links seem to be dead, referenced from your gitHub page: "Introduction and wiki: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/uPyEasy#Introduction" Have these pages moved? Nope, not ready ye...

Hi Lisa, great work. I installed the beta yesterday on an ESP-32 Dev board It works, only the performance of the webinterface is not as good as in your videos. Many of us would like to participate in the event in a timely manner. Is it possible to provide Nightly Build? Can you tell us how to compi...

LisaM

Ohh you guys already have a delete option on the devices... I wanted that on the V2.0/Mega for so long... ;) In uPyEasy, all data is just a record in a table in the database. All processes are reading from the database, so deleting device data from the database means the device's plugin no longer r...

Looking good! Please let me know if it runs stable and not out of memory (which might indicate a memory leak).
uPyEasy is not optimized yet, functionality (to test) and stability (to run) first.

For now I think its important we get both projects in a stable state. We need to release a stable ESPEasy v2.0 and a initial stable uPyEasy. After that I would expect a slow migration from ESPEasy to uPyEasy, as uPyEasy starts to mature and will gain more plugins. uPyEasy seems to be designed very ...

JSON, REST, SOAP are all M2M communication protocols, useless when dealing with end-users. The question is what app resides on the user side to receive these comm protocols from the server?

And the test plugin? It's a test plugin designed to always return 17 as value for testing purposes. 17 shows up in the devices list and it all seems to be ok, but then: stack: 2000 out of 15360 GC: total: 96000, used: 72224, free: 23776 No. of 1-blocks: 1200, 2-blocks: 153, max blk sz: 901, max fre...

I am doing some tests here and notice that: response is very sluggish, especially while using the Hardware tab. In the devices tab, I cannot select the switch, nor the DS18B20.

Perhaps looking into the expected features may also help the discussion? The way I see it, one of the main changes should be in the user interface. JSON REST like api to interface Website which communicates with the REST api. This will force some more generic way of interfacing and hopefully less f...

yeah ... growing up hurts ... But, I had a esptool in the directory of Python36. And one in Lib/site-packages. When I run esptool from site-packages, there is no nagging about serial.

Well, it seems Rules no longer rulez. No problem ... I have to go the python way anyway, but for getting things done quickly, Blockly is a nice alternative. Having said that, one of the powerfull things in Rules is the handling of the output of the devices. Rules are still there, they are hidden by...

LisaM

Lisa, again thank you for your great work! I'm using the Beta-1 version but I'm seeing in the "System info" page that the version is 0.1 and build status is Alpha. Is it correct or I did some mistake? Thank you in advance for your answer. Platform esp32 Version 0.1 Build Status Alpha Buil...

The uPyEasy beta-1 release is here, complete with binaries and source code ( https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4745 ). Question is: What's next?

4 months ago, sept/2017, i started working on uPyEasy. Soon after that the first Alpha release where released, and a few people downloaded the firmware and tried it out.

uPyEasy beta-1 is also having the menu's Scripts, Rules and Notifications hidden by default to make the menu bar less complex. They can be enabled in the advanced menu:

Wiring everything in one place (neutral and load) seems to be the best solution, but I don't think I can pull that one off (or I will have to invest my remaining savings in Cu :mrgreen: ). Running ethernet cables to every installation box seems realisitic. I like the ethernet idea, particulary beca...

There's no limit uPyEasy to the size or pixel density of the screens that uPyEasy supports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOz9U_YdstM It even can be a touch screen like the lcd160, in the youtube movie it even plays a video and is all running from micropython (uPyEasy is build in micropython) plat...

LisaM

I would bring all neutral/load/switch wires to as little central locations as possible, preferable to a single location. Then i would wire the central locations with ethernet, wireless sucks and should only be used when no other option is possible. Something like this: https://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/...

LisaM

Thank you LisaM. Do you think there will be room for something as easy as Rules? I can imagine scripting is much more powerfull, but it looks like learning a new complex-ish language. How about an example script that resembles the old rules script as close as possible? It will basically act as a te...

Hi Lisa, I'd not come across Blockly before but the ability to 'program' graphically is attractive. I don't know whether it would impose any limitations (memory etc, or more restricted functionality). Hmmm, That's triggered another thought- I believe that NodeRED uses Python (presumably full python...

No matter how good they are, i'm unhappy with rules in ESPEasy. Rules are a compromise between extensibility and easy-of-use, making it neither. I have implemented Scripts in uPyEasy (in Beta-1) and this wil give you full extensibility of uPyEasy firmware on the fly. There's no limitations what you ...

The uPyEasy Architecture Guidelines are published here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/uPyEas ... aster/docs
The guidelines specify how uPyEasy is working in details and also what the rules are when you wish to contribute to uPyEasy's codebase regarding Architecture.

I'm busy adding SSL support uPyEasy, since micropython supports it for ESP32 (and for ESP8266). Ethernet based platforms, like the STM32's, probably don't need or care for it. In what way should this be implemented? Default on? Option in Config you can switch on? ... Please let me know how you would...

i don't have your answer, but i just came here to ask a somewhat similar question. if you don't mind, i'll piggyback on this a little and maybe the answer will satisfy both of us. i used to have an esp8266 in each room, but i'm trying to consolidate things (fewer things plugged into the wall). this...

Hi Lisa, On a more general note, regarding issues or bugs that we testers may find. :shock: Do you prefer to continue to have them through this forum, or to use Github issues now that the repository is set up?
