If I backup a device's config.dat and then upgrade espeasy, will the config.dat import without issues or is it release dependent? For example - say a device is using mega-20190305 and I backup the config.dat. deviceX (mega-20190305) -> config.dat(mega-20190305) Next I upgrade to mega-20190809. mega-...

TD-er, ThomasB Thank you for looking at this the problem was with the mosquitto configuration file. I got a copy of dynamicdave's configuration file and once I put that in, it started working. I was not using userid and passwords and I think the missing 'allow_anonymous true' might have been the iss...

Just found another clue. I went and looked at the mosquitto log on the pi (/var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log) and I see this 1565375291: New connection from 192.168.48.42 on port 1883. 1565375291: Socket error on client <unknown>, disconnecting. 1565375321: New connection from 192.168.48.29 on port 1...

If you cannot find another way of uploading this file, can you make an issue for it on GitHub?

Will do.

Had to put this on a back burner for a bit due to family issues (argue, the grandkids have invaded

) and an issue with MQTT (another thread).

dampa

Up to a couple weeks ago, all my ESPEasy devices were working fine but suddenly they are all failing to connect to my local MQTT brokers (using either the hostname or the IP) with the error: 15651: MQTT : Intentional reconnect 15713: MQTT : Failed to connect to broker All devices work fine when conn...

dampa

Thomas, thanks for the suggestions! I'll try them over the next few days. I thought I was going to have the whole week free but turns out my daughters family is back tonight from camping and that means I'll be invaded by grandkids tomorrow (grin-smile)

dampa

That doesn't help. Here is how I tested
1) from tools did a backup of the configuration
2) deleted the two controlers I had - rebooted
3) used curl to load the config.dat file - rebooted
4) controlers missing
5) loaded config.dat via tools - controlers showed up with out a reboot

Any other ideas?

I've been trying to figure out what a post would look like. For all the other files I use curl in this form "curl -v -F upload='@path-to-file/rules1.txt' http://192.168.48.29/upload" and it works fine but the config.dat doesn't. Even though it looks like it works, the settings don't change...

I'd like to build an backup/restore for all the settings in ESPEasy. Currently I've created a backup of all the parts (config.dat, security.dat, rules1-4.txt) and restore for everythiong but config.txt. It seems the only way is to open ESPEasy on the device, go to tools, select upload, pick the file...

dampa

Hmmm, I'm going to have to ponder that idea. Thanks!

dampa

Yes, the bmp280 reports temperature and pressure but not humidity, so I have a dht22 connected also. With the if statements it would grab the temp and humidity from the dht22 then overwrite the temperature and add the pressure from the bmp280. Myself and another guy are building DIY weather reportin...

dampa

That's great idea except ift the bme280 triggers then the dht22 triggers, the readings from the bme280 will be overwritten and I'll get the dht22 readings. Getting the bme280 readings are better than the dht22 readings.

dampa

trying to write a generic set of rules to report temperature, humidity and pressure. The idea is to install this on several devices but I won't know if a dht22, ds18b20, bmp280 or bme280 is installed and it is possible more than one is installed. Right now I have: if [dht22#temperature] > 0 TaskValu...

Any thoughts to making them avaliable to rules? Since they are already stored in memory anyways...

take a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6586 it may help you debug and give you insight to your problem

dampa

If you go to Tools->Advanced->Location Settings you can enter the Latitude and Longitude. Is there a way to use them in rules? If not, what are they used for??

dampa

Here is my method for debugging RULEs while I'm developing and I hope it helps some people out. First thing is to add a 'Generic - Dummy Device', name it 'data' and name one of the variables 'debug'. For our example, let's assume you select device 12 and named the first variable 'debug' . Now in you...

Is it possible to re-run the initial WiFi setup? I've been searching and can't find anything on it.

Ahh but that doesn't address my issue ie I need to range 1-60 to 1-12 ie i can grab %sysmin% and it the time is 3:04 then the 04 should be ranged to 1 while 3:05 will range to 2 If I use the formula mm+5/5 and could truncate the decimal portion I would be fine Wait, I found an answer.

yeah, I know I can do at the router, and being tech savy I can do it, but I don't want to have to explain to my son, over the phone how to do it on his router or anyone else if I give one to someone else. I also know that the device will work eithor place because it will be 'given' an IP address, bu...

dampa

While it IS possible to set the IP address via rules, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the gateway. I have two locations I want to use a device AND I want the device to have a particular last section of the IP. For example, for the primary SSID I want the address to be 10.0.0.19 on the fallback...

dampa

Let me ask you this: Is there a way to define an IP address for the device when the base SSID address might be different. For example, say I want the device to have a fixed IP nnn.nnn.nnn.19 but my primary SSID hands out 10.0.0.nnn address and my fallback SSID hands back IP of 192.168.1.nnn? I was w...

dampa

Is there any way to mark this 'solved'? I was going to change the topic to 'Fallback SSID [solved] but can't seem to find a way to do it.

That will be great and maybe save someone eles from pulling their hair out like I did

I use the CP2102 moduls USB-TTL connecter and plug the four pins to the correct header points on the S20.

One thing I discovered is that (for me) using the S20's
– S20's with versions < v1.3 - I need to connect TX-RX and RX-TX
– S20's with versions v1.3+ – I need to connect TX-TX and RX-RX.

Dang, you're right! I didn't fill in the 'ESP DSN' (Now how did I miss that) I've filled it in for all my other devices.
