I've realized my own enhanced version of POW running of course ESPasy. I used the same HLW8012 circuit taken from the POW schematich, I designed a custom PCB with proper safety (including inline high voltage Fuse holder, varistor for optional additional filtering, front LED to show relay status and ...

I solar power some of my projects, this is what i do. 1. solar panel. 2. 18650 battery 3. TP4056 charger module. The solar panel is wired to the 4056 module Vin pads. The battery is wired to the B+ and B- pads. The +V pad is connected to a 3.3V, very low voltage dropout voltage regulator, i use an ...

_P073_7DGT plugin submiteed as [TESTING] on the main branch! Few notes: - No libraries needed as I coded all the interface with the modules inside the plugin (and customize them on my needs) - I dropped support of TM74HC595 display as very limited in commands supported and not easy to handle (and I...

Thanks to the "God" of ESPEasy we have a neat solution here --> https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/515#issuecomment-335028103 So defintely it's not a blocking limit, just required a bit of code to access proper device parameters specially useful when you could have more than o...

papperone

@ enesbcs : watch out that your plugin cannot work properly in all conditions due to limitation design of ESPEasy PLUGIN_WRITE call. Basically while executing PLUGIN_WRITE you have 2 limits: 1) only first device of the same "plugin type" will execute the commands sent (in this case not rel...

papperone

Might this explain it??? From the Wiki: "Remember that you can only store floating point numbers as output from your device. Also note that the floating point precision is limited. For most application this will not lead to issues but storing a large 32 bit number like RFID tags will get round...

I think this idea of dual relays control for blinds should be implemented in a more generic plugin. Like you can select the output (SonoffDual, or 2 GPIOs controlling to normal relays) and have all the logic applied when UP/DOWN (or left/right in case of curtains!) commands are sent to it. We can ca...

papperone

I don't get it, what's the point of measuring up to 3.3v when the battery maximum is 4.2v ? This is a battery powered board, isn't it logical to be able to measure the battery voltage with it ? Thank you Hello, Remember, a "Battery Low" signal isn't a voltmeter. It is just a binary signal...

papperone

You can't measure resistors while they are actually soldered in a PCB as the measure is influenced by other components of course. we need to rely on the numbers print on them and the one on the right in your video (as I wrote) reports 224 = 220k ohm while the left one if it's "010" it mean...

both displays have controllable brightness from device page <--------- Is it possible to control this on individual sections or only overall?

This all sounds very good! Impressive progress! Will it be possible to stop the blinking colon on the clock?

papperone

Oh well, that's weird... ADC pin on the WROOM-02 should be (looking at your picture) 3rd from the bottom on the left side (upside down as it is). while on the output AD I do see a 220K resistor (224) that is matching what I wrote, the other one is a 1ohm!! (010) making the didiver pointless. But... ...

papperone

You need to check if there's already a voltage divider on the PCB (I don't see it but I can't confirm just form a picture). The best way to check, if you can, is to apply 1VDC to the ADC and see the reading; if close to 1024 then no voltage divider confirmed. A good voltage divider I do use is 100K/...

papperone

ah our awesome wiki says the 1mb normal version should be ok indeed. https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESP_Hardware :) I think the major issues is that recent Sonoff units (and apparently I've heard recent Wemos D1 mini unit as well) have a different flash chip and if the flash process i...

If you can't get it show a letter it's no problem for me. But if you do get this working it would be nice to have only the bottomdigit lit (tot show fractions) and a 'C' for Celcius or 'F' for Fahrenheit too. I know there are single digits one can connect too. I once read an article of someone who ...

papperone

Pity it's limited to 4 digits :( This one here is 8 digits (other chipset though). Yes that uses MAX7219 IC, which I though it was suppoertd by ESPEasy but looks like I was wrong... As I'm sure I've one of those chip somewhere in my lab, I'll search for it and will implement it in ESPEasy as well (...

You are using a custom PCB apparently so I'm clueless as in a very similar setup but driving the relays directly from the ESP8266 I've no problem at all, and my ESP8266 is as close as your to relays so I can fairly assume that's not the main issue. I'm not sure what you mean in the picture as "...

Looking more into LEDs, controllers and library it seems we have as well another potential candidate "NeoPixelBus" which seems supporting less type of LEDs but it's much faster! I was surprised that in the GitHub of the author he's mentioning Psy0rz :mrgreen: as he realized a very nice LED...

papperone

I am not in favour to connect anythign as a input directly to a GPIO; I woudl rather use a optocoupler to prevent any issue/damage to the ESP itself

by the way I agree with @grovkillen why you need NodeMCU and ESPEasy if you can close a 12V relay directly from the 12VDC output signal ??

papperone

can you post a picture of the module?
can you confirm which BIN file you selected for flashing?

papperone

Just a small poll to get feedback; we are sticking all our addressable plugins with Adafruit NeoPixel library, while FastLED offers similar features but support a wider range of other addressable LEDs as per official doc: Here's a list of all the LED chipsets are supported. More details on the led c...

Well, even if it is the right direction that's not really what i meant. If you see things like Sonoff - why should i have a module for a BME280/BMP180 for, or I²C at all? But there is another way round too: I'm using several "mini sensors" just with an ESP-01 and a BME/BMP for example. Ot...

papperone

I think this is something we can abstract from the firmware (ESPEasy or uPyEasy). As we introducte conditional compiling already as NORMAL/DEV/TEST I think it can be worth to add "MINIMUM" for devices like Sonoff or ESP01 where just bare minimum set of pluings will be included. I think thi...

ACS712 does not require any specific library as far as I know, all modules I've seen they output an analog value so you can read it via analog pin.
