the boys over at node-red are about to release a new DASHBOARD on npm. I got it working on the pre-release, and IT IS AWESOME. http://iotplay.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/using-new-node-red-ui-dashboard.html?m=1 https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ObGxRBBKhk8/V5SSrNtjQXI/AAAAAAAAAxI/BBqF-GUvq3YJpsRjWM2GfcL2QZPb8Sf...

JR01

Sure, I did a write-up for you, with the json on my blog:

Hi dudley, great response post, great board - your 885 board !

JR01

Not the software, but the DHT11, use the DHT22

JR01

No, the substibe template setting is on Advanced tab on EspEasy, I will oost a pic tonight if you are not finding it

JR01

hi Neteye, your links does not work. I did a water flow with a YF-S201 flow meter on an ESP12F, configured it with ESPEasy pulse counter, with formulae 450 pulses to every litre, got it working, here is the circuit (although the picture shows a ESP01): https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pIGDsBIt9Xo/V3Lst2iJ...

Controlling geyser with MQTT ? = yes. In an 'MQTT out' node, make the topic the below, and pass 1 into it via a flow: /ESP03/GPIO/2 Means the following: Send to ESP03, to the GPIO, for pin 2, and switch it on. Remember to make your MQTT subscribe template on the ESP: /%sysname%/# And the name of the...

JR01

Are you able to connect with mqtt spy to mqtt server?

JR01

Thank you costi, switched out to gpio16, now working. Found another post in esp forum with same. Thanks!

JR01

And if you remove the space in /oturma grubu/ ?

JR01

Gr8 post!

JR01

crsherman, I see you say you are also interested in the UI tool I used on NodeRed, not much to it, check out this node: http://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui . Once loaded & wired-up, you fire it up on mobile browser on your home wireless with: http://localhost:1880/ui On my blog I b...

JR01

Thank you MarS, nope not pointing to it. Any other ideas where to look?

JR01

Since I posted the info on my blog regarding the MySQL db design, and the issues blogged on Pete's blog and I also found prior to that discussions on OpenHab forums that RPi writes to sd card crashes at some point, as sd cards only has a limited amnt of writes, I implemented the concept proposal mad...

JR01

I want to still look at Imperihome sometime, looked a bit after Pete blogged about it some weeks ago. But I am a bit of a purist, and the reason why I do home automation is not for the home automation, but to prove IoT concepts and to create parallels people can understand easily. So the database, a...

.@BertB - can I achieve the same with the logic level converter from Sparkfun, for driving one light relay? Like this one:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009

JR01

Hi batikka, finally got around to test the VCC.

I have major issues if I compile r107 with #define FEATURE_ADC_VCC = true. When I switch a relay on with http://192.168.2.65/control?cmd=GPIO,2,1 - it hangs the ESP.

Any ideas?

JR01

Guys, this is a funny one, first time this happened to me. I have an ESP12F, with r107, GPIO2 linked to a spark fun logic converter, with the 5v side of the logic converter switching a relay, and 10k pull-up on GPIO2 (also tested with an LED), using a 'Switch' in devices.... - when I switch the Swit...

JR01

Solved, incorrect wiring SDA / SCL.

JR01

In the mean time, some help to get the MySQL going: below is what I have in a function node, receiving for instance humidity from MQTT, and prior to a MySQL node. ValA = msg.payload ; msg.topic = "INSERT INTO `SysTaskVal2day` (`idSystem`, `idTask`, `tmstamp`, `val`) VALUES (1,1,now(),"+Val...

JR01

.@crsherman, yeah, would not mind sharing my .jsons. My RPi is down currently, busy with refurbishment of the breadboards for ESP8266 to sensors - building into vera board solutions to take out instability, need to fire RPi up again next 3 days, then I will upgrade to the latest cool version 0.14.3 ...

JR01

Hi all, I hooked up a Lux I2C TLS2561 to an ESP12-F, running r107. I have it on 5v VCC & GND, and SDA / SLC hooked to GPIO4 / 5. I also have a pull up on both with a 4k7 each. In the web log, I get the error "TLS2561 : integration=0x0 => Error 0x2". Any ideas anybody on what I could be...

JR01

Hello 5Ko, EspEasy, MQTT and NodeRed works very well together. I run Mosquitto, NideRed and MySQL on a RPi IIB+, with EspEasy sensors publishing info to Mosquitto via mqtt, where NodeRed consumes this sensor data, and sending this info to ThingSpeak, MySQL, a frontend in NodeRed for house users, and...

A relay like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-4-8-Channel-5V-Relay-Module-Board-for-Arduino-PIC-AVR-MCU-DSP-ARM-/361423922675?var=&hash=item54268b65f3:m:mfIDglac54TwJ97VcUAx-Yw will switch from 3.3v to 230v. Or, if you find 3.3v stability issues, use a 3.3v to 5v logic level converter like this:...

eshooting and problem resolution tips in the Wiki.. I will try to find some time to put something together. I think it would be very helpfu

+1 !

JR01

Rubbish left in SPIFFS, type 'erase' on serial interface if you can get to control it - when you can catch it live. Also had that last night, the problem was that I mis type the SSID....

JR01

I changed to GPIO5 - with the rules as I had it, did not work, but as suggested by dduley, did work. Pity, as I wanted other things to be done in the GeyserOn action. Thank you all.

Thus, now working:

on Clock#Time=all,22:56 do
GPIO,5,1
endon

JR01

@Tozett, my rules are still not working. Do you see something wrong with these rules? They are not working. Just as reference, this is working: http://192.168.2.63/control?cmd=GPIO,16,1 For instance, should the action name be at the top like I have it, or at the bottom? (I tried both). Or, does GPIO...

Please remember your requirements are one of hundreds of set of requirements. The programmers do not ask you for money for this solution, this is a community project. Thus we have no right to criticize if our thing does nor work. We are welcome to do our own programming, get Lua, there are enough te...

Check this cool device the electronic engineer is busy building with the brand new ATM90E26, he has a previous version with ESP8266, and have promised me to try SPI with ESP8266 with tuis new energy monitoring chip. http://whatnicklife.blogspot.com/2016/05/more-energy-monitoring-atm90e26-breakout.ht...

JR01

Or use a logic level converter 3.3v to 5v

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009

JR01

And make sure you do not have a power / frequency oscillation problem, this also does reboots. Filter out with Tantalum caps.

http://www.esp8266.nu/index.php/Power. This is how I sorted out most problems. A cap close to VCC and GND for the ESP, and at each sensor, between VSS and D.

JR01

@tozett also proposed this in Feb, here. http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=731&p=4327&hilit=heartbeat#p4327 . He also pointed to what Peter Scargill implemented, which is an internal ESP routine that if if misses receiving the heartbeat, it reloads first the MQTT stack, the...

JR01

JR01

@tozett, you can do this with nodered?

JR01

@tozett, do you still have rules problems? I still have, not sure what to do next.

JR01

Thank you @battika, well done with VCC implementation!

JR01

Ben, Not sure if you have seen Scargill's home automation controller, but he sends out a heartbeat from a RasPi every minute to esp's, if esp stops getting this, it will first reboot mqtt, there after reboot and reconnect wifi. He has published this as a node-red node as well to control, neat soluti...

JR01

Good question, I also need this info, +1

JR01

My rules also stopped working in R105 already. Watching this subject for some advise as well. --------------------------------------------- on Clock#Time=all,20:15 do GeyserOn endon on Clock#Time=all,22:45 do GeyserOff endon on GeyserOn do GPIO,16,1 Publish /RHZA/ESP03/GPIO/16,1 endon on GeyserOff d...

JR01

Thank you !!!!

Last thing, you say it measures VCC 2 x per minute. Does this add lots of processing overhead in the ESP, and will it work with Deep Sleep ?

JR01

Hello Jon, your project is further than mine! You have included 433MHz, I am busy investigating this. I have on one RasPi IIB+ running Mosquito, NodeRed, MySQL. NodeRed is sending data, to MySQL, ThingSpeak, and the NodeRed UI - which reports things like ho water used for the day, rain water, temp, ...

JR01

Thanks @Battika, I see your code was now merged to main branch as well. Could you please explain how to use this? // Enable FEATURE_ADC_VCC to measure supply voltage using the analog pin // Please note that the TOUT pin has to be disconnected in this mode Q1) I understand TOUT = ADC, thus no other c...

Will be watching with keep interest !!! +1+1

I am trying to find info on the web if indeed the current iteration of ESP8266 will be able to do 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4, which his the basis for Thread. Maybe an omission, but from this good article discussing it, it does not seam so: http://www.open-electronics.org/top-5-wireless-ways-to-communicat...

JR01

Thank you. Do you perhaps know if the IEEE 802.15.4 specification will run on the current hardware of ESP8266, how much memory footprint it will require, and maybe how big the gap is for libraries? And does it the require its own 'router' on the home wireless network to get into the internet, and co...

JR01

Wow, did not know about this, thank you. Would be interested to hear from others if this could work. But will this be a standard, competing with Z-Wave / Zigbee / NRF24L01, and can it stand up to them?

JR01

Have not tried it, but need this, thanks! I hope others agree to bring into main branch, and that it fits tue architecture. +1 !

JR01

I also use nodered and nodered gui, on a RasPi as 'controller' to an ESPEasy only network. But now want to extend this network, busy looking into RFLink for using 433MHz devices. In South Africa they sell a well priced locally built components for control of lights, with self-learning, called Qwik-S...

JR01

Does anyone know if http://www.qwikswitch.co.za support for RFLink has been attempted? They are good industrial strength, well priced solution manufactured in South Africa. They sell their own USB interface, but I would rather use it with RFLink. On inquiry, they said they are using 433MHz
