I still have only a dark grey screen, so it's hard to read if (at all) anything is displayed. I changed the font size to factor 5 with white text on red background. I don't see any change. Hmm, setting GPIO,4,1 to lighten up the backlight (or setting the backlight percentage in the plugin configura...

Ath

Have you tried to put some plain text, or variables from the Tools/System Variables page like %ip% or %sysbuild_filename%, in a few of the Line 1..Line 24 fields? That's the easiest way to put some content on the display

That should be available at the Info page, similar to this:

... a LilyGO/TTGO T-display (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005970553639.html). This is the exact model you are using? If so, what hardware version you have (should be on the silk-screen somewhere), as LiliGO has a 'habit' of changing some, sometimes crucial, details on newer hardware revision....

Ath

You could check if the BL (Backlight) is actually working (there is usually some extra light visible when peeking behind the lcd), or force the BL pin to on by sending the command gpio,4,1 (the percentage configured is sent using PWM, but manually switching it on should bring it into 'visible' range...

Hm, can this be a setting on HA side, not retaining messages larger then a specific size? As I've been unable to find something similar in ESPEasy, and as it was me that added the PublishR command, I'm pretty sure there's no special condition for the retain flag not being set for the PublishR comman...

Ath

Thanks for sharing your info and configuration, that'll be helpful to a lot of people. But this remark is unclear to me: however this seems not to work for !serial but does work for other mqtt messages that is publish. I don't see the relation between the PublishR command and !serial, other than to ...

Ah, the case with the Dummy plugin is that it doesn't generate events (after the initial event when started) when the Interval is set to 0. So if you need a an event to be generated, you should use another member of the TaskValueSet command family: TaskValueSetAndRun: On remoteSwitch Do TaskValueSet...

Ath

Furthermore, I want to automatically set the value back to 0. I tried to do this via rules with several options like: on DummySwitch do TaskValueSet 4,1,0 Endon So far, this does not seem to work. Apparently I am not using the right syntax or terms. What am I doing wrong? - Have you seen the "...

I've added a MAX build for the 8MB and 16 MB Flash models of ESP32-C6 in PR #4997

Can you please these these from the Actions Run

Ath

You can try to enable the 'Force WiFi B/G' setting on the Tools/Advanced page, that usually fixes issue like these, as those WiFi protocols don't have support for the more modern options of 'go away to a different AP' disconnects, as supported by the WiFi N protocol. If needed you can enable the Acc...

Some further investigation suggests that this device does have 1MB flash memory. A more plausible explanation would probably be that the flash chip used in the Sonoff SV is of an incompatible type. The solution for that is the PUYA fix, that is included in some ESP8266 builds. Can you try to install...

Ath

Most likely your unit only has 512kB of flash storage, and the minimum for ESPEasy has been 1MB flash for over 5 years, as it has become impossible to support units with 512kB flash due to the size of the Arduino framework and the core-features provided by ESPEasy. When buying new ESP devices, you a...

The Plugin_exit and Plugin_init are indeed the default events and intended behavior, including destroying and restarting the plugin, when saving the settings.

Ath

There are already a few feature requests registered in the ESPEasy Github repository, requesting similar features for storing the values more permanently, but none have yet been implemented. I don't recall if SD-Card storage was included in that list. more in the direction of FRAM modules or the RTC...

Ath

Are you planning on ordering such sensor combo, or waiting for ESPEasy to add support first? As said, the price is exceeding my budget, and IMHO, having separately connected (and replaceable) sensors sounds much more appealing to me than this all-in-one, where it is hard to replace a single (broken)...

Ath

Couldn't find any documentation online, but the protocol is rather simple, as it can either turn a pin on or off (command value 1), or output a PWM signal at it (command value 3), followed by a pin number (1 byte) and the low byte and high byte of the value to set (PWM is probably the duty cycle, th...

At least the MH-Z19 sensor is already supported by ESPEasy, the other sensors are quite similar to other sensors that are supported already, so not sure if we should add yet another set of gasses sensors :? They don't list prices on that site, and I don't care enough to leave my info to get them, to...

Can you try to use the SerialProxy plugin (P087) available in the Collection C builds, it works somewhat differently from P020/P044 (these 2 plugins use the same code-base), so maybe it solves your issue.

Convert your CSS and JavaScript files into byte arrays. You can do this manually by converting the contents of each file into a C or C++ array of bytes. Include these byte arrays in your codebase, typically in a separate header file (e.g., custom.h). Please don't post googled or AI-generated answer...

- I hadn't noticed there are also 8MB and 16MB flash configuration of these ESP32-C6 units available (I ordered a couple from Ali for testing ;)) - Most likely the flash configuration for all ESP32 units will be changed to use the Safeboot model (small safe-boot App-partition with minimal ESPEasy, a...

Well, the default behavior is to check the first eventvalue to be numeric, so to be able to handle non-numeric values, the wildcard was introduced. It's documented here , but was already introduced long before that date, probably to accommodate P020 and P044 for handling the RFLINK and P1 data, and ...

Ah, yes, I'm not using the wildcard often, as most of my units handle only numeric data

Easiest would be to connect the ESP to your computer via USB, and use a Chrome or Edge browser to navigate to https://td-er.nl/ESPEasy/latest/ where the latest pre-release of ESPEasy is available. Then select the CollectionC build, and use the Connect button to get that onto your unit (you can use t...

Btw: This is helping with this form of regex: https://gitspartv.github.io/lua-patterns/?pattern=((node)%3D(%25d%2B)%3B%3F)((weight)%3D(%25d%2B)%3B%3F)((temp1)%3D(%25-%3F%25d%2B)%3B%3F)((rssi)%3D(%25-%3F%25d%2B)%3B%3F) Hmm, that proves that either the Lua regex parser is quite limited, and/or that s...

My conclusion. I can filter out whole lines.. great. but other than that i can not see any use for this plugin, since even though the capture filter works as expected i can not make use of it and the event output is always the whole line in case a capture filter is true. So what is this plugin for ...

Ath

That device is supported via plugin P092 Heating - DL-Bus (Technische Alternative), available in the Collection C builds. You'll have to flash that on your unit to be able to use the plugin.

Ath

When using a 4M flash unit, it's way more convenient to use the OTA Update Firmware feature, available at the Tools page of ESPEasy, and it also allows for more features, because it doesn't use the LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE flag for minimizing the code-size, f.e. by brute-forcing FEATURE_SD to Off/Disabled.

Ath

The backlight commands do work as intended, but you have connected the LED pin of the display to 3.3V instead of GPIO-2... :? These kind of displays usually work at a VCC of 3.3V, so connecting it to 5V is probably not the best choice. For SD-card support you have to add #define FEATURE_SD 1 to your...

I did some investigation, and have a couple of findings: - The regex dialect used is based on Lua, that has some peculiarities: (I'm probably a bit spoiled with all the regex features available in my day to day used programming languages ;)) - The escape char is '%' instead of the more common '\' - ...

Ath

Ah, great you got it working!

Don't know where you got it from, but it may have been squashed somehow during shipping or storage, causing the buttons to get stuck.

Ath

You did follow the wiring instructions included in the P061 documentation I presume?

Ath

Most likely the space between the comma and the quote after 80 is unexpected (just guessing, btw)

The list of plugins in the documentation shows that this plugin is included in any Collection build. You can upgrade your Normal build to Collection (select what fits best from the Collection A..G plugins), as long as you pick the same ESP architecture (ESP8266, ESP32, ESP32S3 etc.) and flash-layout...

No, the .py file is to be an alternative for Custom.h (mind the uppercase C), the CustomIR.h only defines the enabled/disabled IR protocols, and uses CustomIR-sample.h as a default if CustomIR.h is not found.

Ath

For that CustomIR.h file to be used, you must be build a CustomIR build from the list in PlatformIO. That means you can also control what plugins are to be included, either by working with a Custom.h file (described on the same page I linked), or by adjusting the pre_custom....py file (also explaine...

The CARRIER_AC84 protocol is added quite recently to the IRremoteESP8266 library, and newer protocols are excluded by default in the ESPEasy ESP8266 IR builds (but not from the ESP32 IR builds).

If all you need is a larger font, then you can just change the fontsize by using the commands , documented with f.e. the P116 plugin, and common to all AdafruitGFX_helper-based plugins (P095, P116, P131, P141), they usually have a different (and configurable) command trigger, to make it easier to us...

Controller settings are not accessible from rules, at the moment.

Haven't seen any with a sensor in that spot, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the (sparse) documentation.

No need to keep it clear/open, AFAICS.

Well, using MQTT to transfer data from one ESPEasy unit to another is quite a 'heavy' solution, that can be solved much simpler, that's why I suggested the P2P route. Losing the P2P connection is something to dive deeper into, as that's not supposed to happen, though it's using UDP, a non -guarantee...

Well, the MQTT explanation by TD-er is about as clear as it gets, so there isn't much that I can add there ;) When using Domoticz there is one big gotcha: It's not an MQTT server...
