Decided to open a new topic on RTOS specifics that could be useful for specific plugins. I have been reading quite a lot on FreeRTOS fundamentals the last couple of days. Also build a first plugin to learn how RTOS could aid in running timing critical plugin tasks. Timing critical in this context me...

I will probably open the source code Please do so... The LetsControlIt platform has a very strong emphasis on Open Source projects. Our primary mission is to share code and ideas to help each other in DIY projects. Sharing code is quite difficult if source is unavaible for others ;) We have a speci...

..on how data can be shared among processes running on different cores. I wonder if you can instruct RTOS to time slice user tasks on a single core or that it automatically schedules tasks on both cores? For ESP32 it may still be better to grant one core to all Wifi SDK stuff and use the other for ...

I wonder how well ESPnow performs if the "ESPnow gateway" node is connected to an AP with dynamic WiFi channel. Problem is that ESPnow receiver should listen constantly on the same channel, but given there is only a single radio it is forced to use the same channel as used by the AP you c...

Still running strong on R120 for about 5 years!! Maybe just leave it as it is... Or put an M5 Atom in it... Could not resist to replace the ESP8266 with an ESP32. Just because we can... The Adafruit Neo library seems to have issues on ESP32. Workaround by moving to Fastled library. Also checking ou...

Martinus, I have cobble together some code for my battery powered ESP8266 devices. There are 2 sketches called ProbeSender.ino and ProbeReceiver.ino. It is very power efficient (even better then ESPNow) and it uses Probe Request protocol to transfer data from battery power device to main controller...

Martinus, did you see this topic? https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6955 Saw that one. But it looks like many posts are 'hijacked' by Tasmota users. I'd like to see if there's a need for ESPEasy. And if standard operation is sufficient or ESPNOW is really required. It has ...

Considering working on the ESP32 part of the ESP Easy dev ? Development is now in the good hands of Gijs and Jimmy. But indeed the reason for me replacing all hardware with ESP32 is that i want to focus only on ESP32 and RTOS. I think the RTOS could bring some nice options of running multiple "...

Since I'm sort of back after quite some time, it may be needed to reintroduce myself (?) My history with ESPEasy goes all the way back to the Nodo project where it all started in 2011. I was the initial founder of ESPEasy until I handed over the project to Edwin and later on to Gijs and Jimmy. And a...

Martinus, Maybe a stupid question. I see you used R151, but what is the difference between the R145/147 builds and the R151 build? Getting back on topic: Is anyone actively working on these devices? Would it make sense to spend plugin development time on these? Are you using any LSC stuff? Personal...

The PIR sensor also converted to ESPEasy. It takes 497 milliseconds from Power On state to send out the final state message.

Martinus, Maybe a stupid question. I see you used R151, but what is the difference between the R145/147 builds and the R151 build? From __ReleaseNotes.ino: // R150 03-09-2017 // RAM savings: .arg("F(xxx) in plugins and lots of other places F() // Added rules processing time logging // R149 22-...

The first doorsensor is working towards an ESP32 peer node: LCSEasy.png Needed some tweaks to be able to set/scan/update the working channel of a peer node, but it seems to work now when channels change. Needed to store the active channel in flash because the ESP on the doorsensor is turned of after...

Thought that the refresh job was finished. Almost forgot that this device is also ESP based (Originally it was a Nodo project):

Now that the new IR Gateway is in operation, it is time to start working on my LSC Action gadgets: I just put R151 on the Smart Plug because it's just a bare switch, brings back memories: :P R151.png I also pulled some ESPNOW plugin from here https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&...

Cool to see that someone actually found this legacy stuff from the Nodo era

FanOfHue wrote: ↑24 Mar 2020, 15:46 I have stopped development on this forum

Any particular reason?

IR gateway prototype setup is now in operation and the old Nodo unit has been shutdown. I did not own three M5 Atom lite units yet, so currently using an Atom-Lite and Atom-Matrix as sending units and an M5StickC as receiving unit. The Atom units are powered by the TV's USB port so they will automat...

But the refresh is not finished yet. This device is still in operation: IR_old.png It uses a custom Nodo ATmega328 version and the ESP-01 is only used to bridge to Wifi for special rule handling. I'm also planning to end the Nodo era (makes me feel i bit :( but in the end it will be more future proo...

Please share your custom version of code when ready. Thank you for efforts to create ESPEasy Just had a look at R150 and compiled with core 263. Still under 400k. Maybe adding an ESPNOW plugin will be sufficient instead of creating custom code. And maybe one customization to avoid Wifi kicking in a...

@martinus: Honest question: Why not replace the ESP8266 controllers by ESP32's? Or is the rest of your IoT hardware too far degraded to be reused for a second time? (Recycling is good, IMHO) The new devices are a lot smaller and better looking. And i prefer the LCD display on most of the devices to...

So is this were all the sponsoring funds end up ??

Houd dan wel een backup van je huidige versie bij de hand, want de nieuwere builds zijn niet altijd stabieler wat betreft WiFi. Nieuwere versies van ESPEasy pollen de serial buffer wel met een hogere frequentie, naast dat er zeer veel andere zaken verbeterd zijn. Sowieso heeft de ESP zelf geen grot...

Have been shopping around the last few months and after almost 10 years of DIY hardware, decided to abandon those in favor of several 'commercial' boxes. Planned product line-up: Line-Up.png Ofcourse the firmware will still be DIY! I like the fact that all ESP devices have built-in button(s), Neopix...

Also received these modules, but haven't got time to implement. But looks cool: And found these ones: Only 24x24x14 mm size.

Not an M5Stack salesperson , but in my opinion, they make cool things for ESP Easy mods !

TD-er wrote: ↑29 Feb 2020, 16:51 What did you use for the display support?

Just the standard M5Stack library. Makes plugin development quite 'EASY'

Plugin now keeps track of actual power and daily power and gas usage counters: Enough tweaking done for this weekend, now spend some time with the family

Being one of the very early adopters of a "power/gas Smart Meter", it was sad to notice that a P1 port was not available on that model. So i used an LED and reflection sensor, connected to an ESP8266 to read power and gas usage the custom way. This has worked for years without issues but r...

It has been a while since working on my Home Automation stuff, but i'm trying to catch up a bit recently.

It is sad to see users move to alternate firmwares because they experience that things as no longer as 'EASY' as they used to be. While ESP Easy Mega was initially intended to be used on all 1M+ flash modules it seems tough to keep it running on those 1M modules with OTA still enabled. While only th...
