No problems

I am just trying to save people like Grovkillen & TD-er time in replying,
that way they can spend more time on 'Coding' maybe even... looking over Rules ???
- haha
Case Closed
& Hey, BONUS,
I learnt something else new too

Both IDX 1, changing the DHT22 to IDX 2, does this change anything ?

Oxyandy

No idea about emoncms but if it uses IDX like Domoticz then both are set 1 ??

Oxyandy

Yes, they are the exact same switches as I 'currently' use, I will put an order in for different switches from China I was thinking some which are actually micro-switch based and can even handle enough current to directly switch the pump.. I would use the micro switch based float switches in NC, set...

Oxyandy

And there is also another PR ready to improve the handling speed of commands (you also execute commands from rules) I think with my recent experience, I'd be an ideal candidate to test & log anything as a result of any changes.. Point me in the direction, thanks I did not get much time yesterda...

Oxyandy

That is cool, I have some coding experience too, but I deliberately took a step back from that a few year ago, likely rusty now.. Don't we all love steep learning curves, I always love a challenge, but sometime get lost in them, noticed very much so by those around me :lol: I have Git Hub Desktop &a...

Oxyandy

Grovkillen, I too make very good use of both your flasher & webdumper, great time savers Both cool tools I have tried 3 times to load 3 different ESPEasyUploaderMega_1024.bin type firmwares to do OTA firmware updates - they finish with the message upload success - but then never start properly.....

Oxyandy

grovkillen yes, I have been reading, it is clear the development is constant.. You are forever posting on the Git Hub side and replying here on this forum.. You are a huge asset to the team, I have been looking over TD-er's recent WiFi changes Updated the code direct from TD-er, compiled while every...

Oxyandy

just when I thought I was getting somewhere BAM something happens which devastates me.. It’s been apparent to me (and many other readers) for a long time that ESPEasy is not the product for you. It simply isn’t going to have the level of stability, and support, you need for your application. Quite ...

Oxyandy

Again, please do not misunderstand me, I know you are not paid... If you want to point me in the direction of something, anything to replace the existing firmware then supply feedback, by all means do so.. Something to test for you ? Ok too... email me if that helps - oxyandy at google's service ;) ...

Oxyandy

I am using the latest Mega releases & the rules do not work reliably at all, I am running OnClock every 15 minutes.. Forced to be that often to test failures........ OnClock to turn relay on, before timer stops - A switch is triggered which stops timer cycle early, switch returns to it's origina...

I'm still learning but shouldn't

Oxyandy

Somewhere recently I Cold Booted - I looked down and the reservoir level was low, great another overflow..... And so... I was just out there, an onClock event started - obviously ignoring my rule to not pump if GPIO14 was '1' well actually, I had to pull the power cord to stop more water loss, was i...

Oxyandy

I have not seen any issue with my relay on GPIO12, it has always turned on when it has meant to & always shown the correct state in the device page. It is only my switch on GPIO14 that has been a problem.. The OnClock rules seem to work really well. I have not been able to open an issue 'to cove...

Oxyandy

Just when I thought I was making 'real progress'
<head bowed & hands covering face>
What to do next ?

Oxyandy

I swear I have done nothing except load the device page & walk outside to view the reservoir level ! The reservoir was topped up last night & it's level is better than any logs, (quick summary of real operation) if level has dropped dramatically then pump has not turned off when it should.. ...

Oxyandy

Wow, all night & my switch never got stuck as '1' So I have not 'nailed it', but I have most definitely 'narrowed it' down I have just woke it is 7.26AM and although sun is not up, is light enough to see out there The uptime is not looking good UPTIME Maybe the resets are what keeps it from brea...

In my last post I wrote: "Nope, all that and no obvious benefit." I will admit I was impatient when I wrote that, in Melbourne, Australia here it was getting dark, I am working on things outdoors... Maybe, just maybe, things have improved from my 'all at once changes'.. Are thing working b...

Oxyandy

Nope, all that and no obvious benefit.

Using ESP_Easy_mega-20180322_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin on a Sonoff Basic Rules.txt files are formatted EOL (Unix) LF & are UTF-8 without BOM.. Even & especially the last line of text in each rule.txt even has a LF there are no spaces at the end of lines, but there are some spaces at beginning ...

Oxyandy

Thanks Guys ! I really appreciate the time both of you have taken to answer me, thanks.. What I still do not understand is why & what the consequences will be if done ? When I have a clear understanding, I will more than happily help update Wikis etc again thanks for your input ! I rewrote the r...

Oxyandy

So a rule.txt file Could be a different encoding UTF-8 or ANSI or something else New lines could be CRLF or just LF HEX 0D0A vs 0A Great, are you saying that something in the code can not ignore illegal characters or convert EOL characters as a rules.txt is uploaded ? Brings the question which forma...

Pathetic.jpg Current firmware I am trying, it is so bad all I need to do is: Cold Boot Check devices page, GPIO14,0 -good Manually move switch up to 'open circuit switch' and hold. load devices page, GPIO14,1 -good Allow switch to return to resting position GPIO14,0 Try reload devices page to check...

Oxyandy

Just curious, did you ever cold-boot the ESP after flashing? There's something fishy on the ESP state after flashing. For example the pin states may sometimes be incorrect and some features do not work properly like OTA. And everything seems OK for a while after Cold-Booting, then problems start.. ...

Oxyandy

TD-er And in hindsight, I should have noticed sooner because quite simply the manual button becomes painful to use to turn relay on.. Do you have a sonoff basic @TD-er on button#switch do if [button#switch]=1 GPIO,12,1 else GPIO,12,0 endif endon The rule for the manual button above. This stops respo...

Oxyandy

Yes mate, flashed inside, then taken to be used outside.. I was told on github - "We know about some issues with inverted state of switch, just use as normal and will be fine." Great nice to know, but I do not use 'inverted' No 'inverted' here.... So I will clarify, I finally discovered th...

Oxyandy

So somewhere, something was wrong... as i said on github It was not until I cold booted that it resolved, how a log of a single cycle should look PUMP_STOP_ seems missing too, I will need to do more cycles & check SYSLOG too 2018-03-21 09:47:48 FLOAT_0_09:47:44 2018-03-21 09:47:47 FLOAT_SWITCH_0...

Oxyandy

I still say this is too busy, I see float switch '1' is missing, I watched and it nearly flooded over I am using this Sonoff in a real world use, flooding over has been a problem, a big problem - so I have added bits to prevent that, including shortening the timer cycle, it was 5 minutes, now 3.. I ...

Oxyandy

I was thinking... do you use pull-up resistors (either internal or external)? Sometimes a switch may 'hover' around the flipping point. Especially with longer wires. With a pull-up resistor (or pull down, depending on your schematics) the signal stability may improve a lot. Later builds are a lot f...

Oxyandy

Forcing GPIO14 to zero helped... (makes it safer for my plants) I added lots more publish commands within rules & there must be something wrong, to me - they shouldn't fire so often.. I now know that this latest release is MOST definitely worse than the earlier one I started with.. I am losing p...

Oxyandy

Had enough of my float switch getting stuck as '1' When it gets stuck as '1' the Domoticz dashboard never shows it as this state: (have syslogs) It only shows as '1' on the firmware's web server http://192.168.0.202/devices I have tested the switches, watched voltages across float switch - you name ...

Oxyandy

Ok I will do that - I promise :P First I need to be 100% on what I am seeing so I don't steer people in the wrong direction This is a timing cycle started by a rule from 11:30 to 11:33, I did not connect the pump, so we should never see the float switch - I still think it is too busy ! Why does it s...

Oxyandy

And No, doing that manually resulted in no change in the log... If I manually move the switch up / down - up / down Even slowly, trying to make it 'bumpy' I only see positive change SW : Switch state 0 Output value 0 SW : Switch state 1 Output value 1 SW : Switch state 0 Output value 0 SW : Switch s...

Oxyandy

Ok, yeah I was thinking same thing about a capacitor .. For the moment, I will run a timing cycle without the float switch.. Instead I will replace it with a physical switch, stand there & manually simulate the float switch with a real switch just to see if that changes the log by much Thanks ag...

Oxyandy

Well there have been some serious rules processing improvements last week. (not my work) But not yet when WiFi is unavailable. That's still on my to-do list. How do I say this.. First, I am learning & evolving - more experience means a better understanding of what I am looking at.. I told you I...

Oxyandy

After some time constructing a whole fresh unit, re-writing rules (slightly) and testing different possible scenarios of points of failure, I have feedback. If Sonoff had a WiFi signal, then no WiFi at all: LED is flashing internal timers are still functioning & if a switch state change occurs t...

Oxyandy

Excuse my ramblings, is my very real experience - I have but one goal and that is to automate a simple task, which uses a switch to stop a pump when that switch is triggered. No lag, IE relay shuts off 30 seconds after switch has been triggered.. Switch triggered, relay "instantly off"... ...

Oxyandy

After seeing many recent 'rules fixes' in release notes since last version I had loaded, I thought I had better try... Anyway: Because the device was in 'use' I attempted an OTA firmware update 'fail' version number had not changed but was 'reset' to default, great.. Was still running 'buggy' ESP_Ea...

Oxyandy

Please note there has been an issue with rules parsing (with spaces at the end of a rule line) Had more time to evaluate the effects this newer firmware had over the previous one, it is much more than a space at the end of a line.. I came up with a solution while I slept over night... I will modify...

Oxyandy

stuck_again.jpg FULL_Pump_Tray_2 stuck again... 1 as in pic.. it's a lie How in a rule can I request the 'true state' of something ? Like at start up, it's knows if switch is NO or NC.. Can we downgrade with OTA too ? Thanks for taking the time to reply to me much appreciated EDIT: (WRONG) OK, I ma...

Oxyandy

At 9.26AM few hours sleep - kid to school and back at it, I must get this 'trust-able' moebius, a float switch ;) as water rises goes from NC to NO, a few seconds later lowers and returns to NC (If rule responds quickly otherwise -it floods) TD-er I am looking at the rules very carefully and reducin...

ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180312_normal_ESP8266_1024_DOUT.bin nuts.jpg This firmware is nuts ! The other firmware was fine, only a problem if WiFi was ever lost. It's supposed to get better, not worse, lol Everything starts out ok, on boot it knows my switch across GPIO14 is N/C - great device starts 0 (zero...

Oxyandy

Thanks for the response TD-er, I am new to the scene, so this is the first build I have tried. I love it after trying others.. I have replaced the firmware with a precompiled archive I downloaded from github ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180312_normal_ESP8266_1024_DOUT.bin I did an erase & flashed this direct...

Oxyandy

Only ESPeasy Firmware has been able to achieve the task I need, internal timing routine which will start / stop regardless of WiFi connection a switch across GPIO14 going from NC / NO to stop that timer cycle early when switch is triggered. When WiFi is active it works like clockwork.. But I have hi...
