The datasheet says +-0.3 C. What are you using as a comparison? If you are using something that accurate, and calibrated is getting 2 to 3 C off I would wonder if you have a bad or not genuine sensor. Assuming you have it connected properly. The datasheet says it should have pull-up resistors on the...

Drum

It depends on how accurate you want to get. You can use syslog and set the log level to the highest, 4 I think. That will be pretty accurate, but you will miss the initial boot before it poss anything. Probably less than 5 seconds. To get better accuracy I think you would need something external.

Drum

Why on a separate ESP ?

If you use the same unit, you limit the number of time points, to only when it is running and not doing something else and you run the risk of the measurement process affecting the measurement.

Drum

That would be awesome!

Drum

Not supported yet. Hoping it will happen soon.

Drum

I think you need the serial log. When I was using domoticz, I am pretty sure it would not send data if it was not connected to the server.
Do you have syslog running on anything? You can also send the logs to syslog. That will at least tell you what the ESP is doing.

Drum

Those 2 resisters could be a divider, but without a schematic there is really no way to tell. The wroom-02 also has this in the datasheet for the ADC (TOUT) pin "Tests the power supply voltage of VDD3P3 (Pin3 and Pin4) and the input power voltage of TOUT (Pin6). However, these two functions can...

Drum

You need a resister divider rather than just a resister. Google will give you several calculators. You probably want to figure a max of 4.5 to 5V = 1V then figure the multiplier and add that to the formula. That is an interesting board, where did you find it? To revise the above, try a resister divi...

Drum

Do you have a network scanner, like Fing? Maybe I am not understanding, but if it is sending every 5 minutes, I do see a problem with the D1. If you think it may be the 5V regulator, remove it and plug in a good USB power supply and see if that helps. If it is sending I do not see where it is possib...

KA75330ZTA seems to be working. The 18650 was 3.3V when I replaced it today on a soil moisture sensor I have been testing. This one has a small solar cell in a window so it ocasionally runs out when we have cloudy days.

I need to do some more testing to make sure it will recover.

Drum

The electronics you have are a bit beyond me, but just to be sure, did you also set the ip address reservation in your router?
Have you tried looking at the serial log to see if there is any clue there?

Drum

I think it is possible, but you need to do some reading to figure out how well it can work.

Drum

Okay, sorry to be blunt, but "Doesn't work" is not very descriptive, nor is there enough information to understand what you have or have not done. Try posting a better description of the problem, screenshot of the config page and Log page to show what it is doing. Without more information ...

I have at least 3 different versions of the ssd1306 module, 4 pin, 7 pin, 8 pin and adafruit feather shield. All are supposed to work on 3.3v. No problem with the 4 pin models I have or the adafruit shield. I could only get 1 of the others to work. Unfortunately there are a lot of people making thes...

I have an outdoor unit, BME280, ESP8285, single 18650 battery, a small solar cell and charging circuit.

IF needed you could use soemthing like ...

According to Itead it will not work on 110V without modifying the power supply or a 220 to 110 transformer. It is possible they make a 110V version but I don't see it on their site.

Make sure the display is configured for I2c, many of these are not by default. Also check the datasheet for the module to verify the voltage required. If those do not resolve it, send screenshots of how you have it configured in EspEasy as well as a link to what you purchased, and schematic. It real...

Drum

This sounds like it writes to the Memory chip? If this is true, I believe this could cause issues unless implemented very carefully. As I understand it the memory chip is somewhat limited in the number of writes, around 100,000. See https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=287 SD ...

Drum

I have never seen this before but from what I can find quickly it has an analog output range higher than the esp adc pin can handle without a resister divider or other module to convert it to digital. Using an already supported module like pfc8591 or ads1115 should allow you to use it without modify...

Drum

Do you have a pull-up resistor on the i2c data pins? The esp does not provide unlimited power (ma) to those pins, you may be exceeding that power. You might also look to see if anyone has tried to test how many i2c devices it can reliably handle.

Easiest fix, use 2, with 2 INA219 each.

The specs say 85% humidity (NON-Condensing) max. No easy way to do that for an aquarium application. Using chemical dehumidifiers would be very bad. Ph would go through the roof as would the hardness. I think they are generally calcium based. Calcium chloride if I remember correctly. On a similar no...

I have a big aquarium, with a CO2 system, I do not have the senseair sensor, yet. I will look at the datasheet and see how sensitive it is to moisture. If it will work, I think putting it in a plastic container upside down would be ideal, if it can handle the moisture. Will be 100% humidity all the ...

Hmmmm maybe another way to measure CO2 in an aquarium....

Looks like they are AI thinker modules.

Something like a repeater or mesh network? I do not know about ESPeasy but it is possible on the esp8266. Would be an interesting option in ESPeasy I think.

Have you looked at these sensors.

According to the site it should have everything you need. Ignore the application notes and follow the directions. "Connect pin #2 of the sensor to ground, then pin #3 to a 560 ohm resistor. The other side of the 560 ohm resistor to VCC (3.3V or 5V for example) to create a resistor divider. The ...

I just looked at the wemos board. I don't think that is good for use with batteries. It used 5v in. I think you would be better odd with a module on one of the inexpensive adapter plates and a better Ldo which can run on 3.7V or less. In my opinion the ams1117 is not a Ldo. It has a pretty big drop,...

Drum

The ina219 will only give a reading when the eap is active, and from your question you want the esp to boot when triggered by the motion sensor. Eap and ina219 draw very little power in deep sleep. The problem you will have is the motion sensor needs to be on all the time. Hmmm, IKEA has some small ...

I have a QNAP NAS which has syslog server. I was never able to get it working properly on my RaspberryPI but really easy on the QNAP.

Check the adafruit documentation, I think you can do either if you like. Would be nice if you modified the plugin to have a drop down for this....

Drum

On the vibration sensor, I think you need a power supply with a shutdown pin and a timer circuit. The sensor triggers the timer circuit which applies voltage to the shutdown pin causing the ESP8266 to boot, when the timer runs out, the pin is pulled low causing the power to shut off. Use MQTT / Mosq...

I have been running 2 ESP-12F modules on battery and solar cells, to test for the for the deep-sleep issue.

I have one unit which is not well over 100,000 deep-sleep restarts. I have 100,000 restarts documented today.

Just to get back on topic, the 2 test units are still running strong, although the small solar cells are not keeping the batteries charged with 1 minute deep sleep so there have been some gaps. I will have to see what I can do about that next week. I need to do some work in nodered to set up some ki...

I would set the weblog level to 4 and check the logs to see what is going on. What version are you using and how is it configured? For the most part I am using 144 to 148, I have not converted to the new scheme yet so I really can't offer any help with those

Drum

I have never tried it, but if I remember correctly, yes. Only way to really find out is to try it. I have no idea how reliable it is.

If you have NodeRed there is a "Big Timer" which has dusk and dawn, based on date and location, but then it is not an independent unit.

Drum

Okay, I am trying this on the "adafruit Oled feather" and it works better than the standard plug in. It is 128 x 32 so with the Header and footer you can only get 1 line in and be able to read it. It has 3 buttons on the board, I tested "C" which goes to GPIO2 and it works perfe...

That would be my understanding.
I went back through the thread and realized my test-bed for this is sleeping too long to be a useful test.
Once I get things unpacked after my move, I will re-configure for a shorter sleep time to better see how it works.

If you are using node-red it should be easy, in the esp not so much without adding a rtc module which would need to be programmed to run the esp durring specific hours.
