That screenshot does look like a really old version of ESPEasy.
See here for newer versions: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases

Apart from that the playground plugin is not part of the build, but what makes that specific plugin better than the plugins we now have in the mega branch?

TD-er

As far as I know it is working fine on the normal builds as nobody reported issues so far and it has been mentioned as example in the docs.

TD-er

Hmm that's rather strange, as the event matching should allow for early termination in the match.
Maybe I messed up in there.

That's for sure one thing that was not tested by me as I never thought of it to test.

TD-er

Have you tried the test build I linked for the pull request I'm working on?

TD-er

Please note the PWM has a 10 bit range, so you may want to multiply the values by 4.

TD-er

Do you need the actual time of day?
Then see the sysvars page on the ESP for all the various time related variables you should be able to use anywhere, also in rules and in display plugins.

TD-er

The move into .h/.cpp was also due to link/build issues as .ino files are really causing build issues with such large projects as ESPEasy has become. By the way, you can also add the favorite envs to your "default" one and then they will all be built if you run "pio run" without ...

Don't use %v1%=[Nextion#value]/10
But use the "let" command for this:

There is now a separated IR PlatformIO environment for "custom" builds. Both for ESP8266 as well as ESP32. I split these as I was running into several build issues with PlatformIO in Windows. The first one is related to the max. length of a command line in Windows (32768 bytes) which we ex...

Well you can check the test build I made with this PR, I'm working on
https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3473
It is a test build, so don't install on units plastered away in a wall.

TD-er

any news on this topic? I see that ESPeasy works very unreliable in environments where ESP has wifi signal from multiple access points with same SSID. Do somebody in community have simmilar experience and what is solution (beside not using same SSID on multiple AP). My solution was to migrate all m...

The 2k limit is a left-over of how it used to be processed when saving. When saving, the file was sent to the ESP as a POST request, and thus it was kept in RAM a number of times. This resulted quite often in lost data. So now we use a JavaScript to call the upload URL. It is the same as when you up...

TD-er

If you run a recent build, you can store larger rules files (make sure to have the files as an backup somewhere as I haven't tested it a lot to save large files) I also don't know how larger files may impact the responsiveness of the ESP as those files will be read until the right event is found. So...

The "level" plugin allows to set a threshold, but it does write the settings every time you change the value. So I would rather not change it too often or you run into issues. You can also store the set value in a dummy, which will be kept even after a reboot or crash. As long as you don't...

Pro Mini Extender is in the "normal" build. You can either try the latest nightly: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases/tag/mega-20210114 Or you can try the test build I made for a PR I'm still working on (to improve WiFi): https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3473#is...

You can try to use the "monitor,14" command on that pin GPIO14, but I am not entirely sure it will generate an event like you want it to. So better not add the monitor command in the boot event of your rules, but first try it on a test event and then fire this test event to try (so you can...

E-ink is a very slow type of display. Most of the B/W e-ink screens allow "local update" to only repaint some pixels on the screen. This makes the update speed quite fast (< 0.3 sec) The e-ink screens with an extra color only support updates on the full screen which does add significant to...

It is just a status update, like a Watchdog. To explain it: - Uptime 0 minutes - ConnectFailures 0 -> Number of reconnects to the network (0 reconnects is excellent) - FreeMem 26752 Bytes -> Amount of free memory, 26k is also excellent for an ESP8266. With a number of controllers or tasks active you...

TD-er

My first thought is... what were you measuring? Do you need to "point" the sensor to the flame to let it register it? As an analogy, take the remote control of your TV as an example. Unless the remote is really weak, using low batteries, etc. you don't need to point the remote to the TV to...

Don't get me wrong, those chips (both of them) will get support in ESPEasy. Only the current version of ESPEasy does not and since I don't have those ESPs (yet), it won't be supported when you receive yours. As soon as the espressif32/Arduino library supports them, I can try to add support for them ...

[...] Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I'm going to read a bit more of the docs and test other ESP32 boards. I ordered some S2 and after tests will probably try to some S3.

Don't forget to flash the "factory" build when flashing via serial.

TD-er

Hmm R120 was an ESP8266 build, so I doubt that was the build you flashed to it before. Or maybe the first ESP32 build made by Martinus was also labelled R120? Have you tried the flasher made by Espressif (which is also included in the ZIP now) to flash this board? See also: https://espeasy.readthedo...

TD-er

All pins that cannot be configured in ESPEasy are fixed and are always the same on ESP32 as the needed function cannot be re-mapped to other pins.

TD-er

The Olimex POE was just one example.
I added all Olimex boards I know of which have an ethernet connector.
They do differ between boards.
So please also have a look at the others to see which one matches yours.
If there is a match, I can add your board to the description too.

TD-er

Search in the code for "DeviceMode_Olimex_ESP32_PoE" to see some examples of factory default settings (can be chosen on the reset factory default page, when not using a "testing" or "dev" build)

TD-er

It looks like your code is incomplete.

TD-er

It is hard to tell what may be the difference here. Some AP's have different rules regarding handling of clients when receiving N checksum errors per X second for example. The Gratuituous ARP I suggested (which is not present in the older builds) is a trick to keep the network updated on what MAC ad...

Nope, if there is no %eventvalue4%, then it will not be replaced. (same for 3, 2, etc.)

TD-er

It should work, but it will be too large as the current version of the Arduino core does add quite a bit to the build size.

Can I then no longer update the current version?

Not sure if you kept an eye on the commits for this repo?

Whenever we find such a problem we try to fix it.
So for now, until it is fixed, you should use an older version for this specific setup.

TD-er

I will have a look at the Level plugin later this evening, as this writing of the settings is really disastrous for the flash and the settings may get corrupted if they are written very often. The file system we're using (SPIFFS) is not designed for a lot of writes. The file system may become fragme...

TD-er

You also experimented with a compressed 2-step OTA build, so maybe we can together have a look at it to see if we can get the intermediate build smaller so we are not limited to this 600k limit we now have.
Also maybe LittleFS may be more stable on a FS smaller than 128k. SPIFFS isn't.

TD-er

Why do you use the "config" command? Hmm I notice this is the command for the level plugin. But it also does try to save the settings every time you call it. So you're wearing out your flash quite fast and crash/boot does seem likely if you write it very often. Also this saves the security...

Can you check in some editor like Notepad++ to see if you have some characters which are not in the normal ASCII range? Also I don't know if an event with an underscore is working well (no idea why not, but never tested it) Anyway it is good practice not to use letters with accents in task names and...

TD-er

Yep, some defines need to be defined at "command line" for the compiler, which is quite hard to do in Arduino IDE.

With 574k you have stripped out a lot.

TD-er

Maybe also check with a build of roughly a year ago. A while ago (not sure about the timeline...) the code for I2C was changed in the esp8266/Arduino core. This lead to a number of sensors showing issues. Most of those issues were resolved by lowering the I2C clock for them, but that's something you...

And what controller are you using?
The OpenHAB/HomeAssistant controller is the most generic one.

@Ath: We should add a documentation section on how to send commands over MQTT (OpenHAB/HomeAssistant) as it keeps raising questions

I can't see the first screenshot, maybe because it has the same filename "Naamloos" ? In the logs I don't see any error. Just to make sure as it is not part of the screenshot. You do have the controller enabled? And it is also selected in the tasks you want to send to HA? You mention Domot...

"Line of sight" or "blocking wave length" ?
Remember most glass is blocking IR light we call "heat".
It is also a very good mirror for IR light (every shiny surface is), so you're probably looking at somewhere else regarding IR light.

If your board doesn't have an embedded USB to UART converter chip, you may need to trigger the boot-into-flash-mode yourself. To do this you need to perform these steps in this order: - Connect GPIO-0 via some resistor (470 Ohm, or direct connect) to GND - Reset the node, while keeping GPIO-0 connec...

I'm not sure if it is defective. More likely the connection is flaky. Which pins do you use for the I2C? Just the standard ones? (4 & 5) 20 cm long wire should not be a problem. And if you're using some kind of pull-up resistors (when they are not already present on the sensor boards) between 3k...

What is your goal with this monitoring? Is it to make sure no gas will be left open if the flame is no longer burning? (or burning inefficient producing CO) When playing with those IR thermometers, you may have noticed it is quite hard to get a good reading for temperature. This is caused by reflect...

Please have a look at those plugins where "PLUGIN_WEBFORM_SHOW_VALUES" is implemented. I think that does cover all the issues you're seeing? On top of that I guess we may need to have a look at the "UserVar" data as it is now used. Every piece of code can access it, which may lea...

Nice!

TD-er

You can do several things here. The most obvious one is to only set a flag once and inspect it when you receive a temp update event. But I can imagine it would be useful to set a loop timer (and reset it when the temperature is above some threshold) in which you play a sound or send a notify. N.B. I...

What specific board is it? (link)
Do you know if there is some demo code available to verify the settings?

I don't think the settings can damage the PCB.

The calculations are not (yet) working everywhere, so it is best to store them in a variable first as the "Let" command (to store some value in a variable) is for sure calling all calculation functions. Then you can compare based on this variable: if [var#1] = 1 ..... or using the "in...
