Let's Control It

papperone

HI, I will be back home tomorrow and I'll look into the plugin based on your comments to fix bugs (like the one that calibration is nor surviving a reset/power down). About the "Active Power" of course if you calibrate with a resistive load then you try to measure a reactive load the value...

with inverted logic of it works just the wrong way around. By default and "common sense" driving an input high would actuate the relay but unfortunately these common relais you see everywhere are driven with input low.. There are reasons and i do believe this "inverted logic" is...

papperone

Can you try like this:

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
  Event TurnOff1
  Event TurnOff2
  Event TurnOff3
  Event TurnOff4
  Event Toggle2
  Event Toggle3
endon

I can imagine your toggle events get confused when you set channels manually On at boot so above should work properly

papperone

Esp is on the other side i guess, can you send bottom picture as well?
Only thing i can think of is tgat maybe itead changed from esp8266 to another mc

Can you share more info on the QNap syslog install & setup?
Thanks!

good to hear it works for you!! now maybe we can wait at least some more users to confirm as well in order to make sure it's at least not a coincidence :mrgreen: anyhow I'll be out 3 weeks for my summer vacation, bringing the family to Japan, so I will not be able to work on further development / b...

Well, having a wired ETH cable (which I suppose is coming from your router or AP/switch) running from your home lan to somewhere in your garden is anyhow dangerous :) Having said that then I would explore either an RF gateway or even experiment with LoRa (something which is tempting me for a while b...

papperone

If you can bring wired ETH and not wifi I would install a WiFi router (AP) using the wired ETH cable. This will help you with easy configuration and if you need to run more than one ESP you can still do it via WiFi... ...and you can enjoy WiFi in your whole garden (I have a big garden as well and th...

you are sending the URL not correctly, it shoudl be: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/control?cmd=hlwcalibrate,VVV,AAA,WWW as well can you try to send the commands via the WEB interface: Capture.JPG in both cases calibration parameters are saved automatically, and this you can verify looking at the device configurat...

papperone

I don't have a clamp, but do have two multimeters. I'll put both of them to work to measure (V) and (I) at the same time... A 60W light bulb should do the trick being the load. surely you can, I do have a clamp and it's easier :) but you can do it with 2 multimeter of course. I tested with both 100...

papperone

good to hear reboot issue is confirmed fixed!! about your points: 1) Even the ElectroDragon reads around 200/210 without calibration and default multipliers 2) You did not have controller setup for the AC Current sensor plugin so it's normal data are not sent out In order to calibrate I do as follow...

papperone

PCB tracks for AC are ridiculous on those units you just posted pictures; I won't install them in my house!! My philosophy si different and my system is designed to work differently, surely it requires more rewiring and is more exepnsive but I truly believe is safer. I'll post some pictures / info a...

papperone

hi drbrains, I've flashed espurna on it, I can turn on/off the touch from espurna webpage, but the switch status is not updated if I manually turned the the switches off/on. Can you share how you configured it? Are you still talking about the discontinued "Touch" 2 channel switch? I saw I...

papperone

I think I've found the bug, which was my fault and not the "SaveCustomSettings" function

PullRequest submitted, please let me know if now it works as it shoudl

papperone

D1 Mini PRO has 16Mb and not 4Mb si I suspect the issue is that you need to compile the firmware with the right settings and not to use a precompiled one...

EDIT: why your are flashing an ESP8266 with ESP8285 compiled??

papperone

PS: I saw you put just 5 characters on the OLED text, can you please try to put like 30 characters on each line and try to save it ?

papperone

Didnt' get yet home to do further test/checks but as that function does work on a 4Mb ESP8266 and on a WemosD1 Mini (which is as well 4Mb) I can only think something is related to POW unit. The function "SaveCustomTaskSettings" works with pointer and size (in bytes) so it shouldn't matter ...

papperone

It looks like something in here is horribly wrong: SaveCustomTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex, (byte*)&hlwMultipliers, sizeof(hlwMultipliers)); It causes the function to abort, i suspect that the reboot is due to the fact that you're saving a local function variable pointer in a global area... thi...

papperone

WOW...very disappointing, indeed it looks like it crashes as soon as the HLW is inited

Let me know your findings, and let's see what can be done, as on a 4Mb ESP8266 it is working flawlessly...

papperone

not sure if the right place, but I've seen few plugins in the playgournd supporting keypad units/IC.... those plugins (asaik) handle only one key-press, while a typical usage of those keypad is to "enter codes", so would it be possible to have the plugin to handle this feature? maybe defin...

papperone

new version with added DEBUG info just uploaded and "pull request" created....

papperone

Those shoudl be AS312 PIR (you can check this removing the white plastic and look at the text engraved on the sensor). then the connection is the one reported by Shardan but please check if the PIR has a voltage regulator as it's supposed to work at 3.3V and not 5V!! See below the schematic I've fou...

papperone

I agree Shardan, my statement was just to asnwer that GPIO9/10 are still available as a choice as far as user aknowledge there are limitations (as well i can confirm I've no module that can work with GPIO9/10 but I've read here in the forum with older modules it is possible)

papperone

I think the problem could be related to the fact that to save the parameters as they are "DOUBLE" I am forced to save them to SPIFF memory but I was able to test it only with 4Mb module. I am not sure I can simulate a 1Mb module just compiling it with different paramentes, I will check. @L...

papperone

as I wrote it's been reported that in some old boards GPIO9 (and maybe 10) can work without any issue, while in the majority of the current modules (Wemos D1 Mini 100% sure) it causes reboot if used

papperone

As far as I know GPIO9/10 are used to access SD memory and cannot be used for anything else otherwise the ESP will quite surely reset (just some old boards seems to be ok to use those pins)... If you don't use I2C you can always leave those 2 "empty" in the hardware tab and all will work a...

Ok I will test it with latest GIT this evening and let you know... As POW has a relay maybe you can't have any reading as the relay is probably cutting the Live before the HLW8012 chip. Did you try it? PS: Delay of 1 sec. can kill the ESPEasy performaces.... Please also check out my update: Update:...

papperone

As well the GUI is slightly different (probably in the latest GIT you are using they did some changes) as I do have the "delay" value in the bottom after the Controller (no big deal). Can you try as well to setup the delay to some values? The pluing is supposed to read the values at a give...

papperone

that's weird, as the first time the plugin init itself it shoudl be saving the calibration values if they are equal to zero. Can you try to send the command "HLWCalibrate" to calibrate manually and recalculate the multipliers? By the way the default multipliers must be: Power Mult: 1034361...

papperone

Can you provide more details, with such post it close to mission impossible to help? Here NTP works flawlessy on all release I do have for DEV and TEST environment, from R148 to 2.0-dev10. I have several Wemos D1 Mini, Sonoff single and personal development boards. All of them are setup to use "...

papperone

I think those small ones are useless for NodeMCU/Wemos usage leaving no advatages as they are not allowing anythign else to be connected on the breadboard itself... You can still solder female connectors facing up instead of male ones on the Wemos (for example) and connect jumpers directly to it. I ...

papperone

I think he wants to keep using the RF remote to switch on/off the relay no the button on the SONOFF itself... am I correct?

papperone

papperone , You already very long wait... Since January 2017. :) June already comes to an end... ;) Somebody can already has made support ? Can developers will add support PZEM-004T in the next release ESPEasy? I know, oredered from China, usually 2/3 months but this was was probably lost and reord...

papperone

still waiting mine to arrive and then I'll code a plugin, no worries, just be patient

papperone

By the way are you using it with a POW?
Does it work?

papperone

I mean, is it possible to send readings to Thingspeak https://thingspeak.com Directly from ESPEasy it should be possible.but not sure how much ram it will eat. I do lots of Thingspeak data logging but I use my Raspberry PI via Node Red which is much simpler and not hard coded into ESPEasy. Like thi...

papperone

If you read the wiki it should be written that alla configuration files are saved into SPIFF so as far as you don't completely wipe the memory ESPEasy will keep finding those files and use them. If you search there should be plenty of "how to"s on the web

Well to be openly honest I did a mistake during the test even myself, and swapped Live and Neutral...

May I ask you which type of PSu are you using? In a friend of mine setup he had similar issue despite the "beefy" PSU (1.5A) but at the end the final solution was to replace it for another one! I provided him a 700mA PSU which I normally use for all my project (HLK-PM01) mounted on a small...
