Let's Control It

manjh

I just bought a set of Quigg switches at a German Aldi store, good deal: 4 switches plus RC for 14,99 Euro. Tried to "learn" into Domoticz, it accepted the signal but then refused to send out a signal when I clicked the icon of the new on/off switch. So I migrated my RFLink to the latest r...

Welcome!

Trust me, this has our attention but is not an easy problem to solve.
Filing Martinus's shoes is a challenge!

Ok, thank you for the details. Good to know I can use only three of these at once. Not sure about that. I think I can confirm that you can use at least three. But I have had PIR sensors with a similar 3-position switch, even when two sensors were set to the same number they still produced different...

How many of these devices do you operate? Do you know how many individual codes they support? A simple Chinese sensor: measures temperature and relative humidity, small LCD display, battery operated, transmitting the values into RF:ink/Domoticz. Can be ordered for $8.64, including shipping to EU. h...

Have a look here:http://letscontrolit.com/. Go to the RFLink pages and check if your devices are supported.
RFLink is quite similar in function but considerably heaper than RFXcom.

Check out Domoticz, as domotica server..

I read about it as well but it's way too expensive... aroudn 25$ for a single module!! Probably a matter of time. Once our Chinese friends ramp up their machines and start producing this unit, I'm sure the price will drop quickly... yes price will drop but quality and accuracy as well :( today BMP2...

Is this problem still "actual"?

manjh

Welcome! You will find enough info here to get the Sonoff working with ESPEasy.
Loading the software is simple: first time with a wired connection, once you have ESPEasy installed a new release can be installed via WiFi.

manjh

I've upgraded my ESP's to build 137, will report back when I find issues.

remark: it took me no more than about 10 minutes to download, unzip, and load into all of my ESP's!
Such a vast improvement to the old Nodo days...

Great job, guys!

OK, found the answer to my own question.

I am looking for a way to detect when power is switched on somewhere. I was thinking of a very simple ESP with USB power supply. At boot-up It would send an "on" message out, to be detected by Domoticz. After power on, it should send out this "on" signal periodically. In Domoticz...

manjh

great, welcome to the club!

manjh

Interesting. I had the same requirement for my kitchen ceiling (LED) lights. When there is movement (after sunset), the lights switch on to max level. As long as there is no movement, the dimmer goes down one step until the lights are finally off. As you say: a much smoother experience than the hars...

How does this (functionally) compare to the RFLink?

manjh

I believe you link a NodeMCU to the Arduino Mega, and set that to be a Serial Server.
Haven't tried it myself.
I heard that the HW team is working on a complete solution for this, now in test phase.

manjh

ESPEasy is very powerful. Check out Domoticz as HA server, plus RFLink as bridge to the RF world.
Once you have the HW set up, this is an extremely flexible approach to HA...

manjh

I am using a NodeMCU as interface for the OTGW, and would like to send commands directly to this OTGW. (Domoticz-->NodeMCU-->serial-->OTGW)
Is there a way to do this?

manjh

interessante mogelijkheid, maar ik zie die button niet!

In order to test the new OTGW print, I need to install the latest version of ESPEasy (I have used the flash 78 until now). So I downloaded from GIT, unzipped and renamed the folder to ESPEasy, and tried to compile. Got an error message: ESPEasy.ino:222:22: fatal error: base64.h: No such file or dir...

I had a similar problem with different hardware. Used a standalone PIR sensor, that gives it's signal thru 433MHz. It was located about 1 meter from the RFLink unit: the PIR was triggered far too often, also when there was nobody at home to trigger it. It might have been the LED on the RFLink that t...

Later versions of both mqttpubsubient and also the ESP8266 library mean that on my system both the released build and the beta versions give compile errors. Later today I need to experiment with libraries to see what I can get to work. This could be tricky for those less knowledgable, so a released...

I think the time has arrived to make a new flash version available. Main priority is stability.
People using the flash version (in my view) are after the latest stable version, not the latest beta...

manjh

Certainly manjh, if you have a spare sonoff you can use. You will need to modify it a bit as the relay in a standard sonoff is switching live power. If you cut the tracks from the live power to the relay, then you can use it to open and close the garage door. For me, all my sonoff are being used to...

manjh

How about using a Sonoff? Contains a relay, so it should be all you need!

manjh

Did you try to experiment with the pullup tickbox?

manjh

Hi! Maybe a simple problem, but I can't get it to work properly. I got a ESP-01 module with a FTDI, I hooked it up to my pc to flash the NodeMCU firmware on the ESP. But I got the same problem as the guy in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh_pgqjfeQc The NodeMCU firmware programmer i...

manjh

Just received the second Sonoff. This one has 5 holes for the serial header, not 4.

Modification and flashing was easy. But when I measured the V on the output, I noticed that even when the relay is switched off, there is still some 14 or 15V remaining.
Is this a problem, or should I ignore?

manjh

Does anyone have a description for the hardware interface to the P1 smart meter?
I expected this in the Wiki, but cannot find it!

Also, how to connect to NodeMCU and configure in ESP Easy?

manjh

Try another Hardware... Sounds like the old service mechanic "switch parts and see what happens" approach. It simply does not make sense. The PIR sensor works OK, the signal line goes to 1.65V when motion is detected, and falls back to zero when not. Problem is the NodeMCU that does not s...

manjh

OK, I attached it exactly you you did, except used GPIO13 (D7). PIR power to 5V and ground, signal to D7. Connected a VU meter over ground and data to see what is happening. As soon as the PIR sensor switches on, the data line is 1.65V. When it switches off, the data goes down to 0.01V. This puzzles...

do you have another sensor at hand?

Which GPIO did you connect to, and what kind of device did you use in the ESP Easy task?

manjh

I don't understand. The PIR sensor is powered from the USB-in line, so it is 5V (measured it). Ground is common, so no problem. The signal line of the sensor is either 0 or 1,65V, so no conversion needed here as well. My problem is with the level of the GPIO line when the sensor is inactive. It does...

manjh

Looks like a nice small footprint. I just ordered one to play with. Price on Ali has gone up: it is no longe $2,60... now $3,99!

Edit: when searching for Gizwit you donot find all offerings. I searched for "witty"which gives more sellers, including one for $2,90!

may try like this: http://iot-playground.com/blog/2-uncategorised/42-esp8266-wifi-pir-motion-sensor-arduino-ide Exactly my connection: power to the PIR unit is 5V, output is 1,65V when active, zero when inactive. Even the unit looks identical. :) Problem is that the GPIO does not drop to zero when ...

manjh

Another thing I discovered: I was trying to connect the signal-out from a PIR sensor to an input pin. The PIR sensor itself is powered from 5V and ground. The signal lead shows 1.65V when motion is detected, and drops to 0 when it is quiet. But when I connect it to a GPIO pin, the voltage does not d...

manjh

Thanks for that link, I will read thru it carefully. Meanwhile I am moving forward. Decided to go back to basics and use a patch wire to connect the GPIO pins to ground and see what happens. Tried GPIO0 (D3): works fine. GPIO2 (D4): when I connect this to ground the blue led lights up and stays on. ...

manjh

any takers? Which GPIO lines are safe to be used for input and output?

manjh

I am struggling with a simple problem. Am setting up a new NodeMCU that needs to switch two relays, and handle two input switch devices. After some experimenting I managed to connect the two relay lines to GPIO12 and 14. I can control them by sending http commands thru on/off actions in Domoticz. Bu...
