For some 1 1/2 years I have set up a "Central Information Device". Means, in the living room I have a wallmounted Nextion display which displays several informations about the status and values of my (roughly >30) several ESPEasy and Tasmota devices. Coding the tiny Wemos D1 ESPEasy to dis...

Thank you for your tipp, but meanwhile I went another way.

I am trying to integrate some power consumption/power supply informations into my IoT using the MQTT Import plugin.

I am running two nextion with mega 20191208 development attached to wemos d1mini witbout problems, but I am sending the values out of rules like

Nextion,page0.t1.txt="[Sensor#value]"

Wiki

I can see that the dummy.device is set to "SINGLE". If you change it to "QUAD" the missing three values should appear again.

Wiki

Thank you for the link and your effort.
I won't update any device of mine without need - my personal philosophie. Never touch a running system.
Log is working - up to now - and doesn't have first priority. I only wanted to let you know.

Wiki

That's a great idea, thank you for it. I will take this into consideration but I can't promise that such kind of functionality will be implemented soon - highest priority at this moment are stabilization, UX, support more types of devices and more flexible management of devices. Sounds good - and I...

I don't think that nested ON will work as it is the reaction on an event. Nevertheless, you should not connect the esp to a battery like this if it is a liion battery, which I suppose. If the voltag gets below 3.2 Volt it will drain the battery very fast because the voltage regulator will take too m...

Wiki

For me it looks like as if there are missing some pullup/pulldown resistors to get stable and well defined signal/state for switching the relays. I have several self-soldered relays controlled by several Wemos D1 boards running ESPEasy and never ever encountered a behaviour like the one you describe...

Could you post a link to the device?

Just to generate some kind of hope: My battery monitoring devices (four devices Wemos D1 china clone) have been pretty unstable with releases > 2018-05-22. For testing purpose four weeks ago I have upgraded one device to release mega-20191123 with the following result up to now: 27.12.01.JPG Used re...

Wiki

As dynamicdave already posted, the installation of VPN is the best (and in my opinion the only) way for remotly connecting to the ESP devices. Have a look into the router of your parents, it may be able to provide a VPN tunnel. E.g. Fritz boxes do so.

Never ever expose the ESPs to the internet.

Cool. As I can see, there is a 8266 inside instead of the 8285 I have read about somewhere.

Thank for sharing.

Just change the output data type to "Single"

Other idea: Take a relay "NC" (normally closed), powered by the power circuit of your freezer to connect the battery of your ESP on power loss.

I am running the Nextion now for almost one year and it is working perfectly for me. The last improvement was to use a Wemos D1 pro with external antenna to get a reliable Wifi communication. But that is not related to the plugin. Currently I am displaying the data of 12 sensors spread all over in m...

It would be helpful to get an idea about your power supply scheme. Do you use a protection board for liion batteries? If yes, have a look at its datasheet. Most protection boards are starting the charging cycle after shutdown of the power supply caused by low voltage of the battery with very low cur...

Wiki

Well, the heating of the solar panel is one thing. The worse thing is, that liion batteries don't like it being heated. They are aging pretty fast and in worst case they may exhaule tiny blue smoke - pretty fast, pretty loud and pretty hot. To get cables into and out of the boxes I am using this kin...

Ehm, I forgot: I would not place solar panel inside your transparent box together with the battery. On full sunlight temperatures inside the box may raise up to 50-60 °C caused by the heating of the panel.

Yes, they have a voltage regulator onboard. The pins of the esp are not 5V tolerant, its a 3,3V device.

Whom do you ask?

And I will give you a prophecy:

From now on these three devices will be more unstable than before if you let them run without reset or powercycle....

Wiki

I doublechecked the functionality of the device by just moving it to a location with reasonable Wifi. I reduced the syslog level to info due to the huge amount of data which would be produced using debug level. Syslog attached.

Additional info: After flashing I went through the standard procedure of connecting to the device through the AP functionality and adding it to my Wifi using the standard setup procedure using the Web GUI (in an environment of normal Wifi conditions, not the hard conditions where it is running now)....

I don't know what exactly you are talking about because I don't have any idea what a solar panel antenna is.

But for outdoor power- and sensor connections I have best experiences with these plugs

The commit you mentioned, about changing yield() to backgroundtask() is included in 20180916, so if you can test that build, that would be great.

Öööhm, 20180916 is deleted

But I will try a later one.
