Yep this one you can ignore.
I will have a look at the warnings later.
Some other libraries also have warnings and even our own code has warnings which aren't so innocent as this one.

My goal is to keep it simple and let ESPEasy rules handle the WOL activity. If you have any comments/suggestions then let me know.

Couldn't agree more

That's not an error, but a warning.

TD-er

I prefer the latter, to include the library complete in the lib folder. This also gives credits to the original author and makes it easier to update the library if bugs are fixed there. About the suggested command. Are the (optional) parameters in such order that only the last parameters can be omit...

[...] Any troubleshooting suggestions? Please use a build, which is roughly 3 years newer...

Well I noticed the extra bool flag, so assumed (I know that's something I must try to do less often...) you used it.
But I now see you set the millis in the ISR call and set to 0 when handling the call, then it is indeed exactly what I meant.

TD-er

Looks like such a plugin may need an external library, like this one: https://github.com/a7md0/WakeOnLan

TD-er

For an external host, make sure to set the timeout of the controller to a higher value (default of 100 msec is too short for external hosts)
Try first with a timeout of 1000 msec.

Also make sure to change the "Check Reply" from its default so it does wait for an acknowledgement.

TD-er

Well you suggested a formula option for others looking for a solution for the same issue.
So I was thinking out loud why not change the plugin to offer the same kind of calibration as present on the ADC plugin.

TD-er

You can even simplify it by just setting the millis() in the ISR call.
When reading you set it to 0 again.
So then in the 50/sec call you only need to compare it with 0 and if not, just copy the value for further processing and set to 0.

PLUGIN_READ is the function that tells the connected controller whether or not there is new data to send. If that function returns "success = true;" then any connected controller will receive the task data and also events are sent to be processed in rules. So that PLUGIN_READ is typically ...

The core label is currently the SHA of the last commit from GitHub we use. In older builds I did have a translation of those into a more readable string, until some time when it was no longer needed to have. But apparently the string returned from the core libs now have the SHA instead of the tag. I...

Yes, as you can see on the forum and GitHub, we are very active in development and support for ESPEasy. So all Patreon money is more than welcome as it allows for less time spent on "billable hours" which not always result in ESPEasy time :) Just to give an impression of my "working d...

TD-er

Nope, we don't have a wake on lan packet generator plugin thingy. (yet?)

TD-er

Well I also attempted to do it in the pre_custom_xxx.py files (see tools/pio/) but it is quite hard to describe string like parameters in a Python environment which will end up as defines in C++ code. I managed to do so with build environment parameters like the build filename and the build environm...

Ath wrote: ↑10 Oct 2020, 10:20 I would expect the [device#variable] to be replaced by the current sensor value, so, no event would trigger that piece of code?

Hmm good point... I thought that was why it stripped off the square brackets first, but may have to check in the code if that's still the current situation here.

TD-er

Just looking at the code of the LCD plugin, I would think it is able to set a GPIO pin as a "Display Button" and also a "Display Timeout".

If that pin is pulled to GND, it will start a backlight timer, which will automatically turned off after set nr of seconds.

TD-er

Please have a look at how the Eastron plugin does it.
It uses the same global pointer among multiple tasks running the plugin to interact with the device and thus allowing to share various units of measure among multiple tasks.

TD-er

The ADC plugin has a nice and intuitive calibration, so why not use it on others too?

TD-er

Ath wrote: ↑09 Oct 2020, 17:10 You might want to remove the square brackets from the line with 'on ... do'

Aren't they removed in the parser to find the on...do line?

TD-er

You can set a flag in the ISR code which stores the millis() in a volatile parameter. In the 50/sec call you then check this parameter and reschedule the call to PLUGIN_READ using Scheduler.schedule_task_device_timer(event->TaskIndex, xxx); // the volatile parameter + 5 See for some examples the cod...

TD-er

Not tested it, but I guess you could do something like this in the rules. Assume the task running serialproxy is called "proxy" and the value it returns is "v" So you may need to change that to match your setup. The idea is to store the received value in a dummy task at task 3, v...

To me it looks like the extra power drawn from the relay may make the WiFi a bit unstable.

Can you at least also try with enabling sending Gratuitous ARP to see if it changes behavior?

TD-er

It is also very very similar to what I had in mind.

TD-er

Not sure how much current can be sourced from a GPIO pin on the R'pi, but maybe it is more safe to use a transistor anyway? Also make sure to place a diode "antiparallel" over the relais coil to protect the electronics driving the coil. Just the first hit on Google regarding "relais d...

You can feed the received strings to an MQTT controller. Currently the "String" type of data is not yet supported in a lot of places in ESPEasy. It can be used to send to a MQTT controller, but it is also possible to send it to a display ("[task#varname]" also supports strings) o...

TD-er

Well I'm not sure yet how massive it will be as I simply don't know where to logically place it. To clarify this, let me explain it from a block view perspective on the ESPEasy "components". We have: - Plugin interacting with hardware - Task, an instance of a plugin able to output data. - ...

Sadly the #define DISABLE_SC16IS752_Serial cannot be in the Custom.h as it must be present at the start of the compile. So either you must define it in your PlatformIO.ini (as I did for minimal_OTA labelled builds) or in the pre_custom_xxx.py file. For Arduino IDE you must make sure it is defined in...

TD-er

Did you completely erase the flash between versions?

TD-er

Is it GPIO15 on the R'pi or on the ESP?
If it is on the ESP, please note that GPIO15 is a bit special as it has a pull-down resistor instead of the normal pull-up resistors.
If it is on the R'pi, then I really don't know

TD-er

Hallo Arnold.
Wees welkom en laat gerust weten als je ergens tegenaan loopt

TD-er

That last line is clearly becoming more important by the day.

TD-er

Would a very simple IIR filter as "standard conversion" already help here?

For example %c_iir_pnf%(prev,next,factor)

The resulting value is then something like:
res = prev + ((next - prev) / factor)

TD-er

Ah that's why you just commented on the issue for a filter plugin

TD-er

Well it really depends on what you want to do with the measured values. If it is to detect a draft, then it may be the best place :) If you want to measure the temperature near where you are in the room (e.g. your desk), then I think placing it on the desk is a good place. Just make sure you're not ...

TD-er

So we should make a separate build for it?

TD-er

It was really easy to do, most of the needed time was in updating the system variables documentation.

See: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3296

TD-er

That's what I meant with "very elaborate rules"

I think a new feature supporting this should be something like the other "Standard Conversions" (See System Variables page)

I will see what I can think of...

TD-er

Well as a person you do put in 100 Watt per person in heat in the room. As soon as you open the door, there is quite some heat exchange and I assume you have the light switch next to the door. So depending on the size of the room, I can imagine the presence of a person can increase the temperature i...

TD-er

Which fonts are missing in the repository?
And how are you building it? Using PlatformIO?

TD-er

It was merged on May 21st this year: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 2956/files
So your build doesn't have it yet.

TD-er

What ESPEasy version are you running?

Also keep in mind you need to count from 0.

So tasknr and valnr start counting at 0.

TD-er

Hmm the other way around is already present, but I can only think of very elaborate ways to convert to hex.

So unless you want to create very elaborate (thus slow) rules, I guess it is a nice feature request.

TD-er

For CSV like output it is possible to address per sensor value.
See: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... =json#json

TD-er

From where do you send the command?

TD-er

I will look in the defines wrapping the I2C serial bridge as that's a valid point. (if it is indeed included while not needed) About the compressed feature. Remember you cannot simply compress it and think that's the amount of space you gain. You have to keep in mind, at least one of the sketches sh...

Please show the network related part of the sysinfo page.
Just to be sure we're not missing something here.

IP-filtering is only for access to the web interface.
