Many thanks and sorry for the dumb question..................it works great.

rayE

But how do i know the device is in AP mode to issue the command rules,0?

rayE

Hi All, Is there a way to disable rules when the device is in AP mode? Maybe there is there a system flag available that indicates if the device is in AP mode? Im asking as i have a rule that does a periodic ping to check for internet connection, if ping fail is > x then i reboot the unit. If the de...

You could send the data to the cloud and use an IOT service such as https://thingspeak.com. This will provide you with a maximum of 8 data fields that can be updated simultaneously from your device (minimum update time for the free service is 15 seconds per update). You can set things up on the ESPE...

rayE

For me i do the following......................... 1. Pick an off the shelf bin that includes the plugins i need. 2. Configure and test all the required plugins work that i need for my particular app. 3. Make sure there are no reboots by logging the update time. 4. Make sure the network is stable to...

rayE

Maybe a corrupted flash? Try loading a blank bin then load espeasy again.

rayE

Did you ever found it out how to connect with CloudMQTT?

rayE

I haven't calibrate yet but I think it will not a solution because values are very diffret to calibrate see board show that 5 V voltage but actually it must be around 220 V

You need to calibrate the thing before ANYTHING else! Do this first before wasting time chasing your tail

rayE

Try Mega 20190202 Sonoff build, this works for me then do a calibration. Below is my pin state buffer.

rayE

Hi,
You did not answer point 1+4? Here is my setup using Mega 20190202. If this still does not work TRIPLE check the connections from breakout PCB to your esp8266, are they connected to the right pins?

rayE

Careful on your choice of ultra cheap SSR! i purchased some from ebay a while back and it turned out they were fakes, labeled as 30A but were more like 10A!

rayE

This makes it a VERY nice front end for different projects, Thank you, Keep up the great work.

rayE

Great work!

Can the GUI be edited by the user to take out some of the menu options?

rayE

Hi, 1. Does ESPeasy read current and power correctly? 2. Do you need to set up the GPIO pins as input/output under the "Hardware" tab in the GUI? 3. Also try setting "pre defind pin settings" in the device to "SonOff POW (R1)" 4. Calibration? https://espeasy.readthedocs...

Hi All, My project currently sends 8 data fields to Thing speak using the REST API at 30 second intervals, example below. SendToHTTP api.thingspeak.com,80,/update?key=yourWriteAPIkey&field1=[HLW_Accu#V]&field2=[HLW_Accu#A]&field3=[HLW_Accu#W]&field4=[HLW_Accu#Count]&field5=[S_Inf...

Maybe im misunderstanding something here from my tests...............If i have 1 or more device's (quad dummy variables) sending data to a controller like Thingspeak then the first device seems to has a priority over the other devices i.e the other devices do NOT transmit their variable data in ONE ...

rayE

OK, so woke with a fresh head today and found 2 things. 1. Problem in plugin code (updated code below) 2. This line in Globals.h (changed from 4 to 8) //#define VARS_PER_TASK 4 #define VARS_PER_TASK 8 //RAE All appears to be running OK, system details looks very similar to before i added the Octal p...

Hi All, Iv been using send to HTTP to send all 8 variables to Thingspeak (TS). Iv noticed there are a quite a few occasions when the data does not get to TS even though pinging TS says it is OK. My send data rate is every 30S. I just started to use the TS controller BUT it seems you cannot send all ...

This work was done on source code from mega_20190202.

OK i think i figured this out, changes below. Added this to top of Custom.h file ####################################################################################################### You can basically ovveride ALL macro defined in ESPEasy.ino.

Got it! Ill make a donation in the near future to you guys toward your continuing work on this excellent project.
Keep up the good work and Many thanks

So i can just comment out the menu items i do not need here? else if (varName == F("menu")) { static const __FlashStringHelper* gpMenu[8][3] = { // See https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/1650 // Icon, Full width label, URL F("⌂"), F("Main"), F(&qu...

Many thanks, ill take a look.

Hi All,
I need some advice on making changes to WebServer.ino so that the web GUI ONLY displays the "Config" page, all other menu buttons are not shown as i do not want users to mess around with the units settings. Any pointers to this are most welcome

Regards
Ray

rayE

TaskDisable,<tasknumber>,<1/0> you mean? Yes that is something we're planning on adding.

Yes, exactly!

rayE

Hi All, I thought I would share this as it may be useful to some. I have had many problems in the past with configuring wifi settings whilst the unit is in AP mode. I have experienced very sluggish behaviour of the AP web interface and also the unit reconnecting to a pre-configured network without w...

rayE

Hi All,
Is there anyway to write to a local file onboard the ESP unit? I want to log some data once a month that may accumulate up to 10Kb in total, the idea is to write this to a local text file onboard the ESP unit, im guessing config.dat serve's a similar mechanism?

Thanks
Ray

Any updates on this topic?

rayE

Using a slightly modified plugin 076, running on a heavily modified SonOff POW with a 100A current clamp for the current input. Using very rough calibration of V+I it's looking pretty good, +/- 5%. This is monitoring the main power feed into a site with 5 apartments and 3 small houses in the Philipp...

rayE

So would this mean 2 plugin's are required or can this be done in one? One thing missing from the drawing is the update timer already present in the plugin, this fits between the re-entry to the loop.........or better still we loose the "bottom" rules timer on the drawing and make the upda...

rayE

So is it possible to run a timer from within the plugin? I also notice from the HLW8012.cpp file that it uses _voltage_pulse_width = pulseIn(_cf1_pin, HIGH, _pulse_timeout) , i take it this is a software method? if so then this will also cause blocking on low frequency signals. All that being said, ...

rayE

I have no experience with the build process but i guess ill learn, i just followed the tutorial here. https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_Arduino_Firmware_Upload This is what iv done so far. 1. Added this to the first line of ESP.ino file "#define PLUGIN_SET_SONOFF_POW" t...

rayE

OK, it's now working. I bit the bullet and compiled my own version using arduino. There are some issues maybe down to timing differences and calibration differences between HLW8012 (the plugin im using) and the CSE7759 (the VI chip in the V2.0 SonOff units i have). I will try to work through these i...

rayE

I can confirm the following regarding the V2.0 board. Sensor chip = CSE7759, Looking at the data sheet this looks the same as the HLW8012 chip but there will be calibration differences. RAM = 32mbit = 4mbyte ESP8266? im sure it is as it has external memory and works with some 8266 builds. I tried to...

I cannot see the number on the ESP chip but it has and external 4mb memory so i assume it's an 8266. Also it all seems ok running the ESP_Easy_mega-20180815_dev_ESP8266_4096.bin. The problem is this build does not have the required device i need. Here is a dump of the system information. Also a pic ...

Hi Thomas,
I have tried ESP_Easy_mega-2018nnnn_hard_SONOFF_POW.bin from a few different builds but it causes my unit to constantly reboot, im guessing it's a memory difference?

Thanks
Ray

rayE

Hi All, I have a couple of SonOff POW V2.0 (not revision 2) units and im trying to find a pre-built bin file to test these out. The power sensor chip in these units is a CSE7759 that i believe from data sheets is very similar to the HLW8012 chips found in the V1.0 units, both are VI to frequency con...

Hi, Well i went down the build path and followed the instructions exactly................Atom/Platformio is the MOST BUGGY and HORRIBLE installation i have EVER performed (Win7 64). It took 3 attempts before it "felt" like it "may" be working, Even the uninstall procedure is pret...

rayE

Thanks for the help from you BOTH. I will go down the "build" road today and fix the issue.

@ Vandar, Having never used GTI or compiled my own version of ESP Easy the question i posted may have seemed DUMB but we have all been there at one point, correct!

Anyway thanks again.

Hi,
Yes NTP is enabled and i can get %systime%. I have searched all the source files in V2.0.0 dev12 and can find no reference to the non working sys names. Im guessing %sysdate% etc is supposed to be in Misc.ino file?

AH self compiled version

i don't suppose you could be a real star and share your compiled version with me? im a newby and have not gone down the "build road" yet. If you could id send you a "virtual" cold beer

And what about DEBOUNCING TIME ?

Im sure i would have set debounce time to a minimum setting as the pulse comes from a hall element therefore the waveform is clean. Debounce is only realy needed for things like relays and switches where you get mechanical bouncing of the contacts.

rayE

0.1uF (or 100nF) both are the same value.

rayE

The above diagram is the way im using the flow sensor. Vcc is 3.3V, decoupling capacitor is 0.1uF ceramic and pull up resistor is 10K. Looking at the pulse O/P on a scope it is VERY clean and works on a PIC MCU with no problems. Here is the sensor https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=flow+sensor&s...

This is how i wire a bare ESP12-E module using solar and TP4056 PCB.
