Does this mean the SD card plugin is not part of one of the current firmware builds?

whatsupskip

In theory it is possible, but at the moment ESPEasy only supports air conditioners in one plug in. There is another IR plug in, but I don't know anything about it. There are other devices around like the Broadlink series, but I have found that they don't support all the functions on my air condition...

Quick question for developers, does all new updates features (assuming no issues) get carried over to the next release?

If you are referring to this fix, then yes it should carry forward.

whatsupskip

No. I was purely putting in a link to the information, so that when someone else comes across the thread they are directed to the solution.

whatsupskip

Sorry I should have said, it is Release mega-20181030.

I am sure there was a thread about using the 9 gram servos and them burning out or consuming a lot of power when they were not engaged. It sounds like this update might fix this problem.

whatsupskip

Update
Here is an example of how to do this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5498

Alternatively using this design, but with the additional components mounted on a protoboard shield.

whatsupskip

Just an update on this. I was able to flash the Wemos D1 mini with the blank 4MB image and then flash with one of the dev versions. This worked well in the end.

Thanks again to the developers for adding this additional feature.

whatsupskip

I noticed this in on one of the recent update release notes.

What does this change mean?

whatsupskip

I am just wondering if you can set the sequence via rules, rather than the broker sending individual messages for each color change.

Are these simple traffic lights or are there turning arrows?

I hope you have included a Red Light traffic enforcement camera.

whatsupskip

Maximum sleep time is a bit over 1 hour.

Awake times depends on what systems and network you are using. I am using around 15 seconds. Ultimately only testing will tell you how short a time you can use. On many networks the awake time can be reduced by setting a fixed IP address.

I think I found a bug with the Panasonic CS protocol (or it could be a user problem :) ) with the Horizontal Swing. When I send from the original remote control to the decoder it shows a valid reception "Horizontal swing: Center" Number of symbols: 223 Symbols: Hh01000000000001000000011100...

Thanks again.

I thought it was missing from the Wiki, but then I just had a look again. Sure enough it is on the first line. Oops.

whatsupskip

Thanks. Yes, I will try this.

Is there still a requirement for the ESP8266 to have a connection between the Reset and GPIO 16 to enable Deep Sleep?

I am running ESP_Easy_mega-20181021_dev_ESP8266_4096 on a Wemos D1 mini V1.0 clone and I am seeing some strange issues with the recording of data on a local EMON CMS 9.8.31.

What systems/software are people using to control their heat pumps via this plugin? (ie Node Red)

How are you using it? (Manually by changing settings via WiFi/LTE, Automated based on criteria such as available solar power, etc)

It looks like Panasonic PKR codes are only a subset of the JKE/NKE codes. The following codes work: Power, Mode, Fan, Temperature and Vertical Vane. The following codes do nothing: Horizontal Vane and Powerful/Quiet. You would think they would use the same full set, but I am sure there must have bee...

ok, thanks for the prompt reply.

I am having some trouble with the https://github.com/ToniA/Raw-IR-decoder-for-Arduino I am trying to use it with an ESP8266. I appear to be having problems with the defining of the PIND.

Great post Wiki. Thank you.

I am not sure my soldering is good enough to pull this physical design off, but it has inspired me.

By the way, it is "peak", not "peek".

whatsupskip

One small suggestion would be to add something so that a relevant entry appears in the System Info > GIT version: Thanks again for all your hard work with this project. I am in the process of writing a brief set of instructions for configuring your plugin up with MQTT. I think a few of use have stru...

I have a working build here: https://github.com/ToniA/ESPEasy (branch HeatpumpIR). I also have the binaries (they run at least on Wemos D1 Mini) under 'releases'. Thanks for these. I tried both of these and I was (eventually) able to send the IR commands via MQTT. However there was very little info...

Nope, I just read about that plugin last week and added an issue for it to help me remind. Great! The "normal_IR" build contains the IR related plugins (2 of them) and the plugins included in the "normal" builds. The IR related libraries are quite large, so we decided to split t...

whatsupskip

Such a pity the Broadlink RM Mini WIFI IR Sender doesn't have an ESP8266 or ESP32 in it.

It is almost tempting to pull it apart and replace the current micro controller with an ESP8266. The case and LED configuration is quite good.

whatsupskip

In the end ESP32 will become as important as ESP8266 is now, since it is a very nice and powerful platform. I actually think ESP32 will be more important than the ESP8266. Better security, dual core and more boards coming out. I haven't seen many new ESP8266 boards lately. There are a few, but not ...

i've just checked my Panasonic AC remote with your Raw-IR-decoder-for-Arduino and it shows Panasonic CS protocol. Is this protocol supported? I can't find it.

Great! I didn't see them under releases.

I will remove mine soon then. Far better to use yours.

Ok, this is a case of the blind leading the almost blind. I have only just managed to compile it myself and I haven't used Github before, but I have uploaded a pre-complied bin file.

I was finally able to compile the code and run correctly on Wemos D1 mini. I can confirm that the Panasonic PKR series uses the same remote protocol as the Panasonic JKE and NKE.

I have a humidity sensor in the shower room. It is not located above the shower, it is actually close to the door. It is quite obvious when the humidity is too high in the room, except for the time when my wife placed a wet towel right next to the sensor.

whatsupskip

I am going to look at OpenHab to see if that might suit might needs better anyway.

whatsupskip

I am not aware of any bug fix for that. The DHT22 is a very basic (cheap) sensor, so that is why I suspect the problem is with the sensor. If you can't easily relocate the sensor, an alternative might be to create a rule to reboot the device if the humidity is too high. That might not be an option o...

whatsupskip

ok thanks, so in effect OpenHAB MQTT is a subset of Mosquitto MQTT.

This probably explains why I am a bit confused by some of the terms on the controller setting.

whatsupskip

If the sensor really is at 99.9% humidity then that could be causing problems in itself. 99.9% implies it is actually wet and that could mean short circuits or abnormal mode that is only cleared by a reboot. I haven't used a DHT22 on such old firmware, but I would first look at preventing the sensor...

whatsupskip

Why is the Controller Protocol labelled OpenHAB MQTT and not Mosquitto MQTT?

I thought this was a bit strange as OpenHAB doesn't actually have a MQTT broker, but requires the install of the Mosquitto MQTT broker.

I want to control a standard Wemos D1 mini and relay board depending on a condition set in a Flow in Node Red. I also want the Wemos D1 Mini / ESP Easy to send the relay status back to the Node Red.

There looks like there is also enough room at the fat end of the PCB housing to fit a BME280 Pressure/Temp/Humidity sensor in there also to complete a full (ish) weather station!

Thank you.

I spent over an hour looking for similar cases on Aliexpress and couldn't find any as good value or suitable as this one.

I don't suppose you know who took the pictures of the plastic box/case used in these pictures?
Particularly where was it purchased from.

I couldn't flash my ESP-32, but given the development is still in its early days I won't worry about it.

I am very grateful for all the work by the developers on the ESP8266 version of the ESPEasy.

Are you suggesting that the DS18B20 is upset by the WiFi Radio Frequency emissions from the close by ESP8266 or that it is affected by heat from the device? I haven't yet determine the cause or causes. I determined that it isn't just thermal heating. It may be some RF induced heating. It may also b...

whatsupskip

Thanks for your post. It is really helpful seeing what others have done. If that is the DS18b20 in the top right hand corner of the board I think you might have problems with it reading high. I have found I need to isolate any thermometer sensors by about 10cm of wire from the ESP8266. It is also wo...
