Let's Control It

Umm, I have no idea how to do it. and i also need solution for actual solar power to domoticz :!: :!: Does your inverter have any sort of interface? Usually they come with an interface to report into the manufacturers website. Once you find that, with the make and model, it might be possible to &qu...

welcome (welkom!)

Correct, the R7000 uses an external power supply, so I guess I could set up a 12V UPS at relatively low cost.
On the other hand, this has now happened once in the years that I own this device, so I think I will let it go.
As soon as it starts happening more often I will look into it.

manjh

Could easily be the power dip. If WiFi is crusial to you, you should put the router on an UPS. They usually handle spikes under-/overpower very well. Have all my AP's on UPS :) Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the router takes 230V, which makes a UPS unit not a small investment. If only it was 5V,...

A very strange situation. Over night, all my ESP units (about 20) have stopped working. I have done an IP network scan, and can see all devices except the ESP units. Since I have a strict rule of assigning statig IP addresses, it is easy for me to see the gap. I tried to restart two of them by remov...

Problem came back, and after a close visiual inspection I found the root cause. The Arduino Mega with the RFLink on it's back is mounted in a plastic housing, with a hole to allow the antenna poking through. I found out that the hole is slightly out of place, so the antenna fits through but touches ...

manjh

Just checked: data is coming in again, so I guess the problem fixed itself!

manjh

Two separate sensors... unlikely.
I'll be there in a few days, so will know for sure then.

I'm using an RFLink unit, linked to the USB port of a Raspberry Pi. For some reason it stopped feeding signals into Domoticz. Normally I would try to restart, but this unit is in my summer house and I can't reach it right now. I logged into Domoticz and see this weird message coming in: RFLink: 20;0...

Volgens mij is er behoorlijk wat documentatie hierover.
Zoek hier eens:

Als ik het goed begrijp is dit alleen een print? Je moet alle onderdelen er nog bij aanschaffen?

Wat is het voorstel t.o.v. de RFLink artikelen in de Nodo webshop?

I agree, it becomes complicated and expensive. I checked Banggood and AliExpress and found really cheap sensors, in the pricerange of 1 Euro each. If only that would work reliaby, I would add a sensor to each and every ESP unit that I run, so about 15 in total.... But I guess it's either a lot of mo...

How about the Figaro TGS5042? Quite more expensive than the MQ types, but I believe these are also used in industrial detectors, so I'm guessing they are more reliable? Found one under 15 Euro at AliExpress: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/TGS5042-FIAGOR-GAS-SENSOR-GAS-detector-100-original/323468608...

Hello Hans, I've just heard the announcement on Tros Radar, but missed the item because i got a phone call. So are we all soon to die because of this? :mrgreen: Not really. It was a faulty smoke exhaust pipe, that allowed a small amount of gas into the house. The eye-opener for me was the fact that...

manjh

I just saw an item on TV about low-level, long-lasting CO intoxication. It immediately triggered me: if I could add a simple CO sensor to each and every ESP unit in my house, it would improve my safety enormously. Before someone asks: yes, I already have a standalone CO sensor, and several smoke det...

Always remember Ruskin's rule: "There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, ...

Probably never got booted into flash mode. I thought that as well. So I double-checked all connections. Also, when I start the unit without GPIO0 connected to ground, I can see the blue LED flash twice quickly. When I start the unit with GPIO0 low, it only blinks once. So there definitely is a diff...

manjh

How did you flash it? I connected the ftdi in the usual manner, crossing tx and rx. Connected GPIO0 to gnd. Plugged in and found COM3. Tried to load R147 4096 using the esptool, but it will not load. (also tried 1024) What am I missing? I connected it with this way: http://m.blog.hu/bi/bitekmindenh...

manjh

In the meantime this device arrived, sadly it's ESP-01S based on PUYA, but can be flashed with R147. The relay controlled by GPIO0 directly. GPIO2 did not do anything except lightning the ESP-01S blue LED. How did you flash it? I connected the ftdi in the usual manner, crossing tx and rx. Connected...

I just ran into a problem. I had an already configured ESP unit which I was preparing for use in my recreation home. I decided to add a letter to the unit number, making it easier to distinguish between the units at home (all running with a numeric unit number) and the units in the other house (with...

Just wondering, what is the benefit of the node list, it's interesting, but there must be some greater use for it. I assume it has to do with global sync that I haven't looked into. I use it as a starting point whenever I want to browse multiple units. Log into one, and after doing what I wanted to...

manjh

Some of us do not use that unit number, in Home Assistant it does not do anything for me. Same here, in Domoticz there is no need for a unit number, name, or even IP. Everything is done based on idx in Domoticz. Nevertheless, experience tells me it makes sense to "use what you have". I ma...

manjh

A little out-of-the-box thinking. ;) The ESP units also collect a list of units, shown as "Node list" on the main page. Instead of going into each and every unit separately, would it not be sufficient to probe one of the units and pull that list? I'm not saying this is a better method, jus...

manjh

Looks like it works. I scan the JSON_URL and currently the missing posts are marked with "?" Thanks for the testing!, :D :) So why the question marks? I don't know about the git info, but all units have names. When I log into one of them and look at the list of units, the one exception is...

manjh

I disabled the Avast shields and ran the program. Comes up with a lot of question marks.....

I thought it might have something to do with the PW protection of the ESP units, so I removed that from one of them, rebooted and reran the scanner. Same result.

manjh

Looks exciting, but the program is drawing a lot of attention: first Windows Defender comes up with a warning, which I can push through. But then Avast tells me this is a suspicious file and puts it in quarantine until further investigation...

manjh

I fully agree. The key is: use the proper technique for the job. in most cases, using methods like Blockly is OK. But when programming for the ISS (the Space Station, that is!) or one of the new medical operation robots, let's make sure we understand the code all the way down to the last bit... Can ...

In the first piece of code, you're checking on the state of the switch. Should be the state of the gpio.

I have managed to operate the sonoff 4ch correctly, with ESP, what I do not get is that none of the physical buttons work. You need to create rules for that.

Yes I will add that. Thanks for the information. Would you be able to test all the web pages manually? I will see what I can do. It seems you are depending on release level.

One question stays in the back of my mind. When I browse into the ESP unit, it asks me to log on with userid/password (I configured it like that). How does your Web dumper pull the information out of the ESP's without knowledge of those credentials? Whoooops! That's probably it. I guess some pages ...

You need to save the settings. Batch mode will use these default settings. ;) Regarding the output files and unit name. These should be straight on screen shots and the name and number should be found. If not that tells me you didn't have the correct IP number? Can you confirm that the IP is that o...

OK, some quick (unstructured) test results. 1. when I start the tool it comes up with the default IP address. I changed that to one of mine and ran it, then closed the tool and restarted. The IP address is again your default (so my last used address is not remembered). 2. when I start the tool in ba...

On the wishlist: Accept the IP address as parameter when starting the tool. If the parameter is not given, work as it is now, with a user interface.

Forgot this one:

7. Make it possible to copy the output from the blue action window. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I could not select/copy the text. Printscreen is a bit of overkill.
So make the text selectable, or even make a button to copy the text.

I discovered this new development yesterday, downloaded, and decided to dive in and do some testing. The idea and concept are brilliant: a one-stop tool to extract all info from a unit.
