Let's Control It

Feedback: I'm running a NodeMCU-V3 with mega-20180826. Sometimes I get the message "failed to fetch", but after that everything continues to work. Only sometimes not. This happens very rarely, only every some days or even some weeks. But today it happens twice in 6 hours. Then the message ...

These are my current rules: Set 1: Initialisation and individual watering of 4 lines. After 1 h every opend line shall be closed. This shall help if the closing will be forgotten. On System#Boot do GPIO,4,0 GPIO,5,0 timerSet,8,60 //Set Timer 8 for the next event in 60 seconds endOn On Rules#Timer=8 ...

alabama

now it seems to work. I have used already all 8 timers, so I used the dummy variable as trigger. Here are my rule sets: Set 1, individual watering each line On System#Boot do GPIO,4,0 GPIO,5,0 timerSet,8,60 //Set Timer 8 for the next event in 60 seconds endOn On Rules#Timer=8 do Pulse,13,1,200 Pulse...

alabama

Okay, seems to be possible. So it's not sure that the sequence is made like it's written inside the rules? I'll try to add another timer that ensures that the sequence is right. I'll report, but now I can't continue direct.

alabama

I tried, but it don't work. Enclosed you can see the first part of the log and after 240 s nothing happens. Unfortunately I don't understand your code. Especially what about the last part? Perhaps it's better that I write my complete rules (after the log). And at all: Perhaps it was a stupid idea fr...

alabama

Perhaps someone can help me with my current problem. I try to start my watering with something like (using FHEM) http://192.168.178.87/control?cmd=event,Standardberegnung=240 So far, this works. The number "240" and the event "Standardberegnung" comes to my NodeMCU. This shall st...

alabama

Last days I made some test runs. I control the watering up to now by FHEM with commands like http://192.168.xxx.xxx/control?cmd=Pulse,4,1,100 Later I will transfer the most part of the controlling in the rules of the NodeMCU and give only the impuls for the start from FHEM. But I saw this days that ...

alabama

I see we think the same way

. Like I told I thought about this WEMOS when I damaged my last devices and since some days 3 of this wait in my cellar for first tests.

alabama

You are right, of cause - my failure. I read "9V" instead of "5V".

So forget this question. Everything is clear.

alabama

Yes, this is an idea. But can I use more than 8 GPIO from one MCU? I use H bridges, because I use 4 valves. Later I want to use even more, if everything works fine. The sleep mode is somthing I need to learn about, right. Is it possible to use the sleep mode not time controlled but event controlled?...

alabama

@dynamicdave Not only that this helps me, because I have the plan to use some of such moisture sensores, too. But even more your tutorial helps me very much to understand to use ESPEasy and write some rules by myself! I found it yccidentally because I'm searching for some "dummie-specific"...

alabama

Unfortunately I have crashed some of my TB8812 while soldering. Now I have a solution with sockets, so all the sensible components are only included after soldering. Unfortunately they are not available in the shop where I bought it and the other shop is much more expensive. Anyway, now it works. Pe...

alabama

Thanks. I think that this summer is already over for wateing, but I want to be prepared for next year.

alabama

This sensor is not like a switch, but gives a proper square wave signal. It probably uses a Hall sensor and a magnet. This means the debounce should not be needed at all. It could be there is some issue with the plugin, I haven't looked at its implementation yet, on how it is using this debounce fe...

alabama

For some years I have two soil moisture sensors. One is this one: https://www.elv.de/FS20-Bodenfeuchtesensor-FS20-BF/x.aspx/cid_726/detail_32273 And the other is this: https://www.gardena.com/at/produkte/bewasserung/bewasserungssteuerung/bodenfeuchtesensor/900898401/ The FS20 is used with a selfmade...

alabama

Now the next step is done - right at time when the summer is ending. I use 2 parts of the TB6612. Good to know: All pins of PWMA, PWMB and Stby has to be connected to HIGH in this case. Further I use 4 Royal Gardeneer valves. At least the control is done by use of a NodeMCE V3 where I use the pins D...

alabama

Now I have one little problem with my Royal Gardeneers: It seems that they don't want to work with every kond of electricity. Even not with the laboratory power supply which is set to 3V (or a little more like 3.7V) and max. 2 A, also not with the 12V Photovoltaic via the L7850. But it works with th...

alabama

I think that I have the same Valves. I have this ones: http://www.royal-gardineer.de/Bewaesserungsset-NX-7411-919.shtml the H-bridge I want to use are this ones: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01BMRCITK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 All in all I want to control 4 valves with two...

alabama

Hi Werner,

I want to use some valves which work with pole changing mechanism and searching ho I can control this by ESPEasy. So I found your post. Can you give me some more details on your system - especially the hardware? It seems that you do exactly what I try to do.

Thank you,
alabama

alabama

I'm successfull with 3 of 4 Module with ESPEasy_R147_1M_64kS. The forths also first works fine until I tried to change the IP-settings. After that I can reach it. Even after several successful flashes with different FWs it is not visible in the WLAN. I'm not so really a profi in this topic, but I'm ...

alabama

Ok, seems you are right. The second one of the modules is working now.

alabama

Now I have seen that my post was to fast: Wit the original ESP8266-01 it seems not to work. But if I change with another one it works. The only difference I saw up to now is that there is the writing "AI-Cloud inside" on that one wich works and not on that one which not works. Further it s...

alabama

Again: Thanks a lot for this. It works wunderfull!

alabama

Ok - thanks.
(Sometimes I'm wondering myself,why don't I get the simplest ideas??

)

alabama

Bought this ESP8266 5 V WiFi relaismodul in china https://de.aliexpress.com/item/ESP8266-5V-WiFi-relay-module-Things-smart-home-remote-control-switch-phone-APP/32738099717.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5Thz2C it also works with a serial controled MCU... May you have a idea to get it work with easyesp?...

alabama

Yes, I do. Up to now I use only two of these devices. And the one mor, the other less - which is changing from time to time - reports sometimes wrong readings. So I think this is not usable for any alarm systems, I think. But I have to say that I use it only in my test eyuipment. Perhaps it will be ...

alabama

Has anyone ever used something like this https://www.az-delivery.de/collections/wifi-module/products/esp8266-01s-mit-relais with ESPEasy? The main port ist that the relay is connected the the ESP8266-01 by Rx and Tx as far as I see and not by GPIO. And up to now I don't finde any devices in ESPEasy ...

alabama

Many thanks.

Exactly what I need to know.

alabama

Perhaps a stupid question: in https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/SleepMode is written: Temporary disable Deep Sleep via jumper setting If 30 seconds is too short for you, you can use this method. Disconnect GPIO-16 from RST and connect it to GND. Restart your ESP if neccesary. Now deep sle...

alabama

Thank you for your help. In this examples that I found the ground of the measured device is always connected to the ground of the measuring-device (in our case the ESP8266-01). Will this not be a problem, because the ground is not always the same level? http://3egadgets.com/img/cms/Current_Measureme...

alabama

It seem to depend somehow on the ground. Now I use the same source for the voltage of the device that I want to measure with another device. More exactly, I use ESP8266-A with INA219 to measure the voltage of ESP8266-B. If I use the same source for the voltage of ESP8266-A for the INA219 it will not...

alabama

Like I write in another thread I tried yesterday to use a INA219 with one of my ESP8266-01 (1MB). I think I can be surf that my settings are right. Now it seems that it will not work as if the INA219 is not found. And even if I choose only current all three values voltage, current and power are show...

alabama

Yesterday I tried first time to use a INA219 to measure the current with my ESP8266-01 (1MB-Version). I had some Problems because the mesaured values are not plausible and even if I choose only current in the settings I get values for voltage, current and power. So I decided to upgradefrom v2.0.0-de...

alabama

Thank you for your patience. I see now that all devices work fine, the only problem is my knowledge. My first and my last steps in the topic of electronics are about 35 years in the past for about 2 years at school. (Of course that is no excuse, with the GPIO0 I would have to know, after all, I only...

alabama

Hi community, please let me use this thread for my questions. I use a ESP8266-01 together with a HC-SR04. For the first Setup I use a simple voltage divider for connect the echo from the HC-SR04 to the ESP8266-01. For my tests I use something like this https://www.amazon.de/Steckbrett-Supply-Module-...

alabama

Ok, the problem seems to be solved:
I reset the device by use of Arduino IDE, type "reset" in the serial monitor. Then I restart the device and the input of the controller-IP and port works.

Thank's again, your tip for the pragrammer is on my buing-list!

alabama

Thank's a lot, this are some really valuable tips. I'm absolutely with you what you say about fakers. I read about this topic last few days in this sites. But in this case it's a little to late, if I will throw my FTDI - which seems to work if I use it in the right way - away, this specific faker do...

alabama

Thank you for this tip.

Perhaps you are right and it where the last two, but I can't be sure now. I'll try the other browser tonight, now I'm out of contact to my Computers.

EDIT:
No - use another browser don't help. The same result: The input of IP and port is not possible.

alabama

Hi community, first I have to say that I'm found this ESP8622 coincidentally when I search for a wifi-device for my first steps with an ATMega and the target to connect this to my FHEM-smart home. I bought some really cheap ESP8266-01 from SunFounder. I ordered the blue version but get the black one...
