Let's Control It

Ath

If all you need is a larger font, then you can just change the fontsize by using the commands , documented with f.e. the P116 plugin, and common to all AdafruitGFX_helper-based plugins (P095, P116, P131, P141), they usually have a different (and configurable) command trigger, to make it easier to us...

Welcome

Ath

Controller settings are not accessible from rules, at the moment. There has never been a request for that, AFAICS ;) The Controller settings are quite static, so that's probably why nobody thought about requesting that, but I can see why you could need that. I'll think about how that could be implem...

Ath

Haven't seen any with a sensor in that spot, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the (sparse) documentation.

No need to keep it clear/open, AFAICS.

Ath

Well, using MQTT to transfer data from one ESPEasy unit to another is quite a 'heavy' solution, that can be solved much simpler, that's why I suggested the P2P route. Losing the P2P connection is something to dive deeper into, as that's not supposed to happen, though it's using UDP, a non -guarantee...

Ath

Well, the MQTT explanation by TD-er is about as clear as it gets, so there isn't much that I can add there ;) When using Domoticz there is one big gotcha: It's not an MQTT server... MQTT is a server oriented solution, having a central server to store & forward the messages. Most used MQTT server...

The Web flasher at:
https://td-er.nl/ESPEasy/
(From Chrome or Edge you can flash an ESP connected to your computer)

Ath

The PR has been merged, and will be included in the next release of ESPEasy.

This improvement has been merged and will be available in the next release of ESPEasy

the Wemos D1 Mini on the AirGradient Indoor DIY Pro and the ESP32-C3-Mini on the AirGradient Outdoor model (aka Open Air). Looking closely at the photos on their website, IMHO they don't apply generic ESP boards, but use their own design (which is very common in the ESP/Arduino world ;)). So trying...

Ath

Well, if there's no way of externally controlling the device, I don't know how to 'fix' that using ESPEasy...

Ath

Your steps sound correct to me, so, it may be a case of keep trying until you succeed

As TD-er already mentioned, some are quite hard to get flashed.
Did you try to close the browser tab and reopen, to release any previously connected COM ports?

Ath

The procedure is to hold the boot button pressed, the shortly press rst, and start the flash process. Once that starts you can release the boot button.

Ath

The newer ESP32 devices like the S3, C2 and C3 have a built-in USB port, so they can act as a COM port themselves.

You could try to flash it using the Web flasher, without pulling GPIO 9 to GND, as it can be set to flash-mode via USB, like TD-er explained.

You have to keep that GPIO to GND while resetting or powering up the ESP32-C3 to get it into Flas-mode. But that's similar to the ESP01S.
Doesn't your ESP32-C3 have Boot and Reset buttons? (many have, even those minis)

Ath

I tried to flash with 20231225 normal 1M ESP8266, flashing OK but nothing then, not ssid appeared. After flashing, leave the unit connected for at least a couple of seconds, then either reset or power-cycle the unit. You can open a Console window from the Web tool (Logs & Console). You should t...

Ath

The used sensors are all supported by ESPEasy, so that shouldn't be a problem. Most DIY users also have some kind of home automation server, like Home Assistant, Domoticz, etc. running, so configuring a nice dashboard shouldn't be that hard. Fabricating a similar, weather-proof housing will be the b...

Then I tried with the wrapper ESP.Easy.Flasher and firmware ESP_Easy_mega_20231225_normal_ESP8266_4M1M.bin with setting SSID, PWD, and IP: The latest firmware comes with the Espressif flash download tool, that can be used with all supported ESP units, both the ESP8266 and ESP32 (all supported model...

Please don't repeat the same question multiple times, we read it, and if we have an answer, we will reply here. If we don't have an answer, usually after some time we might reply saying that too :roll: Some users, that may have knowledge on the subject, only visit this forum from time to time, so it...

Ath

Assuming this device is controlled using an infrared remote control, you might be able to send commands and possibly receive status updates using the IRremoteESP8266 library or HeatpumpIR library, that is supported by ESPEasy in the IR builds (best use an ESP32 as that includes most/all of the proto...

Ath

That should have either been "taskrun,2" or "taskrun,analog"... I've used the same example-syntax as used in the documentation

Ath

What interval have you set for the task?
Does it change after executing the command "taskrun,<adc-task>" ? (<adc-task> should be the number or name of the task that has your ADC configuration)

That's really new to me that you do projects serialized

Ath

Ah, well it's often a bit confusing with all the acronyms used, that I tend to keep mixing up in my head

My SEN55 is due to arrive today; after the current project I'm working on I'll probably start to implement that (priorities, priorities...).

Ath

At this time I am only using the Servo on this particular device and triggering it with HTTL and MQTT commands from elsewhere. I do need to make use of the position 9000 command to turn the power off to the Servo, presumably that is part and parcel of the Servo plugin? That switching off at 9000 is...

Ath

Rotating it should be fine, both the TFT and Touch plugins support that (and AFAIR, the TFT is in portrait mode by default...). After initially setting things up in landscape mode, it would be a challenge to change that to portrait later, but when starting in portrait mode it's just as easy as it sh...

Ath

@uxhamby I've added a pull request to allow FEATURE_SERVO to be enabled for Custom builds, but none of the Custom builds has that enabled by default.
Can you list the plugins you actually use, then I'll build a custom ESP8266 1MB firmware with those plugins and Servo enabled, for you to test.

Ath

It seems I'll have to add a KEEP_SERVO compile-time flag, like done for RTTTL, to have that enabled, as even for the Custom ESP8266 1M builds the Servo feature is forcefully inhibited

I'll see what I can do about that.

Ath

Yes, both VSCode and PlatformIO will run on Windows, Linux and Mac. (It's just that I'm a Windows user, but that shouldn't stop you from doing this on Linux :lol:) Most likely VSCode expects you to run a GUI (not just a plain text terminal via ssh), but I expect anyone using Linux on a desktop/lapto...

Ath

Best solution would probably be to build a Custom version of ESPEasy, that has the plugins you need, and FEATURE_SERVO 1 (enabled, we renamed the USE_ defines to FEATURE_ with value 0 or 1). (I really need to update the docs on how to build a Custom ESPEasy using VSCode/PlatformIO, either by modifyi...

Ath

How about the usage with this display and ESPEasy? I guess only text, color, background color is possible? Or could I use graphics as well? With these plugins I've introduced a common command set, that, besides writing text in colors, can draw lines, circles, boxes, triangles etc. in any color (655...

Ath

Would a WT32 SC01 as a combined unit of TFT and ESP32-S3 with 16MB flash maybe a good idea? That display, of the WT32-SC01Plus (the S3 unit) is not yet supported. Not sure when that'll be included, as it will (probably) require a new plugin, and uses quite some GPIO pins. The somewhat older model, ...

Ath

For the 'Gases' support we have a plugin for the MQ-xxx sensors, CH4, CO2, CO, H2, LPG and Alcohol.

Ath

For starters, I'd suggest to use a TFT Color display (either the ILI9341 (try to avoid the ILI948x models...) or ST77xx models will do) over the LCD2004, as TFTs can show much more than a couple lines of text only. And also, an ESP32 if preferable over an ESP8266, as the ESP8266 builds do not suppor...

Ath

Since I changed to 3.3V, the unit is running fine. I keep it running with my test script over the weekend. If everything is fine / no crash occurs, I'll build it into my server cabinet / ventilation automation next week. Ah, great, we already merged the plugin into the 'mega' branch, that also publ...

Ath

So, from what I understand, it's in general not a good idea to power the ESP32 and the I2C devices with 5V. I think a little more nuance is needed here: - In contrast to many Arduino boards, ESP mcu's are to be powered with 3.3V, and use 3.3V logic on input and output pins. - ESP boards can be powe...

Ath

AFAICS, the Controller port should be set to 80, and not 85, unless your router/firewall does some translation, but I wouldn't expect that to work, as you'd probably also have to use a local address/host for that translation to be applied. And enabling the extended credentials should only be needed ...

Ath

But this doesn't help find the cause for the crashes. I'll change now to debug output. Do you guys have any ideas, what could be the reason, that the board crashes frequently? Where I should start from? When using the 'syslog' facility, there is a higher chance of networking/stack issues, as the sy...

Ath

I've added documentation, can you please proof-read, and give feedback on this? Looking good to me! This is the only thing, what maybe could be added: and works from a single 3.3V power source 3.3V or 5V Technically that's correct, but when running the DAC board at 5V, then the I2C bus should use a...

Ath

And you have the required pull-up resistor (see docs) installed for the DS18b20 (and other types of 1-wire) sensors? 1 pull-up per GPIO is enough.

Ath

@localhorst I've added documentation, can you please proof-read, and give feedback on this?

Ath

Seems I succeed ! Quite... Great :D 1) I have been unable to find the plugins related to RTC such as DS3231, just a setting "FEATURE_EXT_RTC 1"? Is it missing or must be called differently ? The External RTCs are enabled by default for the Custom builds, and the documentation shows how to...

Ath

Due to time-constraints I've not yet been able to replay your scenario, though I'm trying to schedule time for that this weekend (ESPEasy is not my day-job...). No ETA though

Ath

IMHO, adding support for backslash "\" as the escape character, is nicely in line with the C++, Python and Javascript programming languages used in the project, so should cause minimal confusion.

Ah, that's a hint for a bug. :oops: When the plugin settings are saved, the state flag for restoring the previous value should be reset. It should also be fixed when forcing a hardware reset/power cycle on the device. Edit: Fix is pushed to GH https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/actions/runs/77...

There are some things unclear to me : 1) The statement at the beginning : define USE_CUSTOM_H as a build flags. ie : export PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS="'-DUSE_CUSTOM_H' " ; what does this mean, how to apply this requirement, please ? 2) In my search and readings, there is also noticed : "...

Just re-tested, but here it works as intended.
