I expect you would have to figure that one out yourself. I do not think they are used as much as Rfid. First thing to check would be the connection, I have not looked at them for a long time, but all they had then was Serial interface which could be adapted to USB. Look for an arduino compatible rea...

Hi ! perhaps a possibility to reading the files? Where do you want to read a file? In ESPEasy? For which reason? Reading a file to upgrade the firmware without a wifi connection would be a nice feature, for a remote datalogger. Maybe update settings via "restore" from file as well. If usi...

Drum

Okay, the pullup keeps the reset from doing an automating reset and GPIO 16 pulls it to ground to reset it and wake it up again. I suspect you may have some other issues. Do you have a schematic, picture... What is your power circuit? Check the wiki there is a section on power, but without much more...

Hi, if serial access is still available, you can try to factory reset your ESP. Just type 'Reset' (without quotes) followed by CTRL-J to put the ESP back to factory settings. It will activate the AP mode (ESP_0 with password configesp) and allow access to IP 192.168.4.1 Another solution is to refla...

Drum

You can reset the current version, or remove all the settings by connecting RX to TX and powering on for a few minutes, turn off, remove TX-RX connection and reboot. It should show up as a AP but you have to re enter all the settings.

MAC address for "13" belongs to a Gemtek device, http://www.gemtek.com.tw/products.html. Mostly wireless networking devices.
Does not appear your ESP is connected anymore.

Drum

I do not use any esp-01 modules, not enough exposed pins and you have to solder a wire to the chip just for deep sleep to work. Closer examination of ,micro soldering job would be my first step..... When you say "bricked" what have you tried to recover? What release are you using? Schemsti...

(should we all move to DD-WRT :geek: ?) I think it's interesting to also report the RSSI value in future posts. I've just installed an additional Access Point (Dlink DIR 505) in my home and moved two ESP Easy unit's to that AP. See what happens during the next couple of days... I just setup a new g...

Drum

Hmmm, no idea without doing a reset. It is possible something in the wifi system is looking at the mac address as well. I believe moving to a new AP is a finction of the client when the signal gets too low or drops out completely. Easiest may be to reset, disconnect the AP you do not want it to conn...

Drum

I consider the biggest potential of ESPEasy to be flexibility and of course it s REALLY EASY. You could try to use a small compact unit and use a formula to bring the temp down(less accurate), or use deep sleep to keep it from getting hot enough to affect the sensor. In any case, having a housing wi...

Check out Pycom's LoPy.... I got a couple of these on kickstarter, but I haven't had time to look at where the software is yet. This is based on a ESP32 though...

In theory, it should connect to the strongest signal if they both have the same SSID and PW. I have only have that problem when "roaming", when I carry my tablet around the house, it will stay connected to the first AP until the signal drops below some point (no idea what it is). Whenever ...

Drum

Easiest band-aid might be to put it on a timer and turn it off for a minute or so every day, but not really a fix. I have the same issue with DHT22s, much less so with BMP280s. I have several setup to use deep sleep for 10 minutes with a rule to send the IP address when they re-boot (wake up). Once ...

Drum

If you want to be sure, get a good quality glass thermometer and put the bulb next to the sensor. It needs to be rright next to the sensor. And Check the datasheet for the sensor. If you want that kind of accuracy you cannot assume your indoor/outdoor termometer is that accurate unless it is tracabl...

Drum

If I understand it correctly, waking from deepsleep is basicly caused by resetting the esp. Gpio16 is connected to rst - when gpio16 pulls rst to ground it "wakes up". In order for the esp to sense a change to any device it must be awake. I think you could, as an example, have the door con...

Drum

Still have the same 2 units running with no problems. They are set for 10 minutes deep sleep.

Drum

Try putting a fan on it, I have seen heating from the Esp. 2 to 3 degrees at 3 cm, and also 2 up to degrees over a couple of feet in height at my desk at work, at home I need to have a ceiling fan on pretty fast to equalize the temperature from floor to top of a bookshelf. What are you using to meas...

I just ordered some PSF-A85s from itead.. Only 1MB memory, but a lot smaller.

Drum

Pins are greyed out because something else is using them, for example, 4 & 5 are usually set to i2c in the hardware tab. I have not paid much attention to the switch posts but there are a lot of them. You will probably want something more recent than 120, they are working on a new stable release...

Drum

No idea, but I just checked Fing on my tablet and it says the host name for my raspberry pi is "raspberrypi.station". Maybe try a network scanner like Fing (Android) to see what it says. I can confirm "raspberrypi.station" works for me, but I only tested it on R121, which us on t...

Drum

I looked at this again and it appears to be the same as the ESP-12F but without the extra row of connectors opposite the antenna, which were useless to most people anyway. My understanding is the antenna for the ESP-12F was revised based on actual performance testing, and and is better than the ESP-...

Drum

This is not a problem I have ever seen, But I only have various ESP-12 models and a couple of Olimex Mod-Wifi boards.

I have a BME280 running perfectly every day for months, no problems.

Drum

My last order was from Digikey.it, it worked and was cheaper and they had what I wanted. I think I selected an incorrect option and ended up with a delay in customs, but even with import tax it was cheaper than anything I have found in Europe.

Drum

I kind of like the way some of the telephone network interface housings are made, from a conceptual side. Connectors are modular, added as needed, modular and separate, connection to PCB could be modular or fixed, would be easy to separate power and data. The board can be is a separate compartment w...

Drum

Which version are you using? The waterproof ones, stainless steel end on the long black cable generally have a pull-resister built in. Check the schematic on the wimos, it may have a pull-up on GPIO2. The datasheet for the ds18b20 shows a 4.7k pullup from VCC to data. This is also in other threads i...

I don't know if it is possible to improve the syslog, but what I see in the serial log from R142 and R143 is more useful, I think. I mostly use "proto boards" these days and solder almost everything down. mostly something like this: https://www.amazon.it/Pezzi-Prototipo-Carta-Universale-Pa...

I was able to get it back by putting R143 built for NodeMCU on it. No idea why it worked, R143 for Huzzah had the same problem....

No idea what the difference is between the two boards

Drum

Have you tried serial terminal to see what it is doing?

Drum

mgennip, Do you have a volt meter handy? I am curious to see what the actual VCC voltage is. I keep meaning to test a NodeMCU but I never get to it. The data sheet for the LD1117 LDO (how they call 35% drop "low" I don't understand) says typical 1.15V drop, and there is a 1N4004 diode befo...

I am currently testing 2 different configurations of Solar powered sensors, using 2 different voltage regulators and battery options. My preference now is MCP1825 (up to 500mA 3.3V fixed - less than 0.1V dropout at 200 mAh load), I also use a adafruit LM3671 module (up to 600mA at 3.3V from 3.5V pow...

Drum

Unless you want to solder it directly to the board, you can probably get some connectors to connect the temperature sensor to the pins for next to nothing. A lot of people use breadboards, and it frequently makes the crazy, the connections are not very good. I don't know much about V3, but the DS18B...

I am not sure how this works as I have not tried to use the subscribe, but can you tell me what shows up in the log when the MQTT message arrives? If it is an event, try to use it as an event in "rules". I haven't found anything else, but this is where I would start. Syntax is probably the...

Drum

In my opinion the nodemcu has more than antenna issues, but I don't have any problem getting 100 meters line of sight out out of a ESP-12F, or even a Olimex wifi-mod, with a good power circuit providing 3.3V. I would love to see a well designed board and case where I could plug in sensors and batter...

Drum

With 4 AA batteries I can get 3 to 4 days without using deep sleep with other sensors. I have not tried on this setup because deep sleep is not possible. The current plan is to power it from a wallwart with a good sized battery backup. You could do solar if you need it to, but it would need a larger...

Drum

Disconnect the MAX and see what happens when it re-boots... I am in a continual boot loop,. no idea what the problem is, even went back to V120 but connects to wifi, INIT i2c INIT Pulse 10 and reboot. Tx-Rx trick is not working either.

Drum

Regarding the multiple AP issue, have you tried to set all your APs with the same SSID and password? This works for me at home and at work, although at work it can be a little hit or miss, they have around 50 APs in the building. At home I have no problems, the connection goes to the one with the st...

Drum

I don't understand, it sounds like while it is sleeping the current is 18uA and then it is 24mA? I think we need more information to determine what you think the problem is and what may be causing it. 1. Do you have GPIO 16 tied to reset? 2. How are you monitoring the current and how often? 3. Is it...

Drum

I had a similar question because I have several which sleep for 10 minutes. I think It may be possible (with changes) for a unit which is on all the time to store some information, but in the end, at least for me, I think it is better to send the information via a rule on boot. I have it setup for I...

I think the most missed thing for ESPEasy and Domoticz is the idx number, In any case don't give up on it, it works. I am not using Domoticz right now as I want to have more flexibility with the data, but once you figure out what it needs it needs to work. If you still can't get it to work send scre...

Drum

I am trying to use Domoticz from my Win 10 pc. When I open Domoticz, it does not show the Controller IP but just the port. The Controller IP is the IP address of the computer where Domoticz is installed. If you do not have an IP address reserved for this computer in your router, it will most likely...

Still have 2 ESP8266 running on Deep Sleep waking up every 10 minutes, since February.
This problem has not come up for me yet.

I thought I saw something like that at Ikea. I will add it to my wife's list, Ikea is right next to the airport and she is traveling next week.

Drum

As I understand it, the offset is based on the temperature so you would have to calculate it for different temperatures, but I don't think you can put that formula in as it is. I think you would have to have the calculation hard coded in the plugin, or do it externally. I generally am only looking a...

Very nice, I see a new way to monitor my smoker and grill... Also what looks like an inexpensive way to fit more ribs in my smoker...

No 2 devices should ever have the same MAC they are hard coded by the manufacturer. Because Espressif has more than 1 set of MAC addresses for the ESP8266 ( I have both 5C/5E and 60/62) it is possible to have 2 devices running ESPEasy with the same chipID . The chances are less than 1 in 281,474,976...

Drum

I usually have that problem with the DHT11, but no the DHT22... Could be a bad sensor. No idea if all the manufactures test them before they send them out.

Might be cheaper to use a more expensive and reliable sensor.

Drum

Edit: My mistake - last update to the plugin added: DHT12 support (single wire and I2C)

There is support for DHT11, 12 and 22 but not for I2c that I know of.

maybe try as 1-wire using the DHT plugin. Might work.?

Pin interface: 1. VDD 2. SDA 3. GND 4. SCL (connect to GND when use as 1-wire)
