I noticed, this node got quite unstable, has a uptime of 10mins up to 2 hours, but not more. It is doing nothing, besides one HTTP call a minute (the rule is in rules1.txt at the very front, it is the 3rd on / endon block, 1882 chars are before it). the load is normally below 15% on Clock#Time=All,*...

Just as a suggestion for you to also have a look at as you probably use these kind of scripts for other backups as well :) Have you ever heard of Dirvish? What this does is quite simple: - Create a new directory with hard links to all files in the previous dir - Copy over using rsync with some spec...

As I did not find any skeleton for a automated ESPEasy Backup script for its configuration I share here my working bash-script for doing this. Useable on linux hosts, as cronjob on daily basis e.g. it fetches config and rules*.txt from ESPEasy nodes, compresses the fetched files, checks for duplicat...

ok, I am now nearly there wehere I would like to be. I am keeping track with syssec_d when I start the timer. with this, I calculate the real time difference, not relying any more on timers called in time. especially the event queue seem to delay timers heavily. now three (hopefully last) question: ...

i am using 20210114 build. if it is not in that build than i still do not experience problems. looking at the system variables it seems to store the entire %unixtime% value me not. I am on 20210114 too: following codesnippet: Let,11,24 // shutter unixtime start event,ControlShutter=%eventvalue% end...

_Cyber_

the losing track issue over time is corrected with the complete time for open or close action. there I do not drive only the difference, i always pulse the whole time to ensure it is closed / open completely. as at least one day a time it is closed completely it should not be noticeable, except the ...

_Cyber_

drive down: enable overall power (GPIO2 to 0) Pulse one GPIO (4) to 0 for specific seconds keep one other GPIO (16) to 1 --> keep track of the seconds which it is pulsed and update (secondly, two-secondly) a HTTP host with the state in percent (if it delays too much update another ESPeasy host with ...

_Cyber_

okay, I am despair of it. :-( Maybe also add a dummy (empty) on...endon block for events that will be generated but not handled by you in the rules. (e.g. system clock, new values of your tasks, etc.) That's why I already set the Single event with all values: and set the Interval to 600 seconds. but...

_Cyber_

First thing to look at is how often do you call Rules#timer=7 and =8 ? Both call a SendToHTTP, which may take a while depending on the response time of the host. Timer7 is only called once, currently. Timer8 is set to the value to end in sync with the looptimer. so if I set the looptimer to 22 iter...

_Cyber_

OK, that sounds like a bug or at least an undocumented feature... I will have a look at the order in which items are being replaced and also if I need to call it several times to replace all occurences in a single line. shall I open a issue on github regarding this? hm, so I have now compacted the ...

_Cyber_

I just found out: if I assign the value before to a variable and use the Variable instead of the reference it works.

so, this works:

Code: Select all

 Let,11,[INT#%v67%]
 Let,%v68%,([VAR#64]+(100/[INT#60])*[INT#11])
 logentry,"VAR#v67=[INT#%v67%]"

_Cyber_

moved now all VAR to INT which are supposed to have no floats, did not help. here is the code where I trigger the StateShutter calculate-event: on Rules#Timer=7 do Let,60,28 // full open/close duration Let,61,1 // Taskvalue Device Let,62,2 // Taskvalue Variable Let,64,=[SZ#S1] // Current shutter sta...

_Cyber_

sorry, I forgot this to mention: in system variables I can see the vars filled correct: %v67% has 21 %v21% has 1 I tried with INT instead of VAR, does not change anything. and, for the logentry, it is is correct resolved, but not for the calculation. it is not resolved as 0.0 or 0, it is just "...

_Cyber_

ok, now I have compacted the code and wrapped stuff in events which I call. I have now instead of 28kb rules only 14kb left. :D the rules are now unreadable. should not harm, as long as they are working. but, there is an issue, and, I was able to track it down, I cannot believe. 24777148: ACT : Let,...

this are all dummy devices, Output Data type is set to "Quad", Values are either 0 or 2 decimal. here the json; the "TaskName":"SZ" will be changed from 2 to 4 values. "Sensors":[ { "TaskValues": [ {"ValueNumber":1, "Name":"S...

_Cyber_

I tried, but as soon as I have in rules e.g.

Code: Select all

 Let,10,[Z1#S]
 Let,11,[Z1#SL]
 Let,12,[Z1#SR]

ruleparsing stops and nothing happens. from the rules :-/

_Cyber_

:shock: any ideas how I can circumvent? currently I have the following codeblock which is used 7 times identically with the following changing parts: [VAR#33] seconds Z1L requested [VAR#34] direction Z1L [VAR#35] Z1L shutters percent (loop)TimerSet_ms,2 will be (loop)TimerSet_ms,[VAR#XXX] two unshar...

_Cyber_

And maybe you can make a single event handler to avoid a lot of code duplication? For example you can create small event wrappers to call the generic one with a few more arguments. In those arguments you can then add some info as to in what variables you store states. For example "[VAR#13]&quo...

_Cyber_

@TD-er may I ask, how long are single events allowed to block until the unit reset? e.g. the following part of rules: logentry,%syssec% event,ControlZ1L=[VAR#2] logentry,%syssec% event,ControlZ1R=[VAR#2] logentry,%syssec% gives me output: 18249531: ACT : logentry,'Z1SL=11.00 and Z1SR=78.00 not in sa...

Hi, I am using ESP_Easy_mega_20210114_normal_ESP32_4M316k on a ESP32. in the following rule I start the event "ControlSZ=0". It pulses two GPIOs with LongPulse for 28 seconds. In parallel I start a timer (already with TimerSet_ms as the difference without _ms was bigger), set a variable to...

_Cyber_

not in this one, I set it in another part of the rules, as soon as I did some action and I am sure I know the state of the dummydevices: on Rules#Timer=8 do if [Z1#M] = 0 and [Z2#M] = 0 and [Z3#M] = 0 and [SZ#M] = 0 logentry,"No Movement, Power off" gpio,2,1 TaskValueSet,5,1,-1 else logent...

Boot#watcher is device 5.

I want to determine if the values were preserved and therefore I can trust them (values 0-100 on device 1 to 4) or if there was a boot and reset of all dummydevice values.

yes, I read regularly the EWT status and depending on it, I put in summer the floor cooling into active state. but, besides this, no. :-) btw: brink itself offers the way to put a humididy sensor into the unit, cable it to the unit and then the fan speed control is done by the brink unit iself. But ...

using asyncevent solved the issue.

the ebus connection is done in my case with an ebus-usb-adapter. I soldered the one from here: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/346833?page=single there are also other projects around how to make your own ebusd adapter, cheaper and direct with wifi, with a wemos D1. e.g. https://ebus.github.io/...

_Cyber_

here is another solution for brink units: I have a wemos d1 with a dht22 in bathroom. it measures on 5 minutes basis the humidity and does a GET request to a raspberry. this raspberry has a ebus connection to the brink unit and sets via ebusd the fan speed of stand 1 dynamically between 50m³/h and t...

after disabling the switches relating to the relays (gpio 12 and 5), there is no bounce at start-up, but there is no control with Home Assistant.

yes, the relays do work flawless, only the output puzzled me.

I have subscribed to the issue, will ignore the output and and will test as soon as it is fixed.

Thank you!

sorry ath, I do not understand your reply. the relay is not connected to a GPIO, it is on a relay shield where a MCU is on. espeasy controlls the MCU by serial rx / tx commands. why do I need now a dummydevice?
