Let's Control It

I used this for an semi-intelligent sewing machine:

it works really well....

Edit: but for ESPeasy you´ll need to put another microcontroller in between that can handle the zero crossing.....

The problem with these "fake"/different serial chips seem to be their inability to enter a "sleep mode" when not in use

chromo23

I once made a battery powered sensor using a wemos d1 mini clone. With no modification it was drawing around 300uA of power while in deep sleep which is ok but not good enough. With the proper modifications which included lifting the ground pin of the serial chip and a changing the ldo regulator i g...

I use that function for a cheap website dashboard over all sensors. If you want a more modern look of your dashboard you can also try easyfetch. (link is in my signature) Just download the "fetch.html.gz" (or if you want to have it as the root page download "index.htm.gz") and u...

Do you only have one esp to test?

chromo23

Even if the wires of the coin acceptor are not connected to the esp, if I apply the above scenario, a trigger will occur. than probably the coin module is broken / has issues...

Is there any difference between them in the operation of the device? Yes.

Or simpler since you probably won´t need multiple long press with different length: On Button#State Do If %eventvalue%=1 TimerSet,1,1 Elseif %eventvalue%=0 If [var#1] = 0 GPIO 16,1 //shortpress Endif TimerSet,1,0 Let,1,0 Endif Endon On Rules#Timer=1 Do Let,1,1 GPIO 17,1 //longpress Endon but maybe t...

I have a problem again but this time with a long button press. I have a simple rule Yes, it´s a problem. The short press event (1) is always fired fist. To get around this , there are different valid approaches. I can show you mine: On Button#State Do If %eventvalue%=1 LoopTimerSet_ms,1,100,50 Else...

You might consider adding an options menu with all these special 'long press' etc. features, The reason i reuse elements for extra features is, that it keeps the file smaller since i also can reuse some of the code. as it's getting hard to remember all of them... But you are right and is has defini...

I added a "color-scheme inverting" option by long pressing the "unit name"
It is maybe useful for people that use static a color-scheme that they don´t want to change only to get another color-scheme in easyfetch.

Great!

And please double check, that this doesn´t occur anymore:

As i said earlier, this is probably caused by a mistake/typo in your rules.
And such things can lead to serious issues and unwanted behavior when rules are processed!!!

chromo23

And to shorten the code a bit you could use a "wildcard" in your rules making the "checkSwitches" event obsolete On Stekkerdoos_houtST* Do LogEntry,"checkSwitches: current state: ST1=[Stekkerdoos_houtST1#State], ST2=[Stekkerdoos_houtST2#State]" // etc. If [Stekkerdoos_h...

chromo23

Ok.. your naming of switches an relays is confusing me a bit. You do seem to check the relay states and not the switch state in "checkSwitches": if [Stekkerdoos_houtST1#State]=1 or [Stekkerdoos_houtST2#State]=1 But the state of the relays is changed after "AsyncEvent,checkSwitches&quo...

One last question: If [Stekkerdoos_houtST1#State] is generated by a push button how does this work: If [Stekkerdoos_houtSW1#State]=0 GPIO,33,0 else GPIO,33,1 endif The relay would only turn on as long as the push button is pressed.

chromo23

Maybe @Ath gave you a hint (by accident or on purpose) with this: All you had to do there is change the names of the switches, so it should en up something like this: On checkSwitches Do LogEntry,"checkSwitches: current state: ST1=[Stekkerdoos_houtST1#State], ST2=[Stekkerdoos_houtST2#State]&quo...

chromo23

but if you use Stekkerdoos_houtSW1#State (led on) and after that use Stekkerdoos_houtSW2#State the led is turned off and I would expect that the led keeps on. What do you mean? Could you use the actual states when describing what you want? Describing Stekkerdoos_houtSW1#State with "led on"...

chromo23

But this can´t be all your rules...

Where is this part:

Code: Select all

AsyncEvent,checkSwitches

chromo23

Can you post all your rules?

chromo23

I see..
The workaround is to enable rules and make an event:

Code: Select all

On SetTZ Do
  TimeZone,%eventvalue%
Endon

Then the http command would be:

That will only try to execute the value of [garag#analog] as a command I think it was used as a placeholder for the code. If not, then @Ath is right. But then it is probably anyway better to activate and deactivate the whole task with: TaskDisable,[number of the analog device] TaskEnable,[number of...

chromo23

It seems to be correct. If you want to see what is going on, you can always head over to the log-viewer in the /tools tab. Edit: And you can also always put a "LogEntry" in your code for your own messages. This will then be displayed in the Logviewer. Example: (adding all the hyphen gives ...

At first you need an interval for "garag#analog" ..like 1s, then you need a value for PWM you can refer to: PWM,25,[Value]+2 //where two is a fairly low value... This value you can get from here: [plugin#gpio#pinstate#25] (to use this you must have set pin25 to a pwm value elsewhere before...

I've even seen the connected log + IP being reported at 1500 msec from boot, so there is still some room for improvement. However, there is always the risk we may put too much stress on the node, causing poor quality ones to fail. Don't push the limits too far.. it all looks already really good. ;)

If it is working only under rare conditions and it than only works one time, it raises the question what it is good for anyway and if we really need it?
