Greetings, I have been reading multiple sources in the forum and decided it was probably best to put together a concise description of what I am trying to achieve in the hope that someone can give me guidance. I am totally new to the Rules concept, so struggling to learn the syntax and values. Once ...

Haven't progressed much further... looking for some rules advice. I too require a differential calculation approach. I have 2 x DS18b20 sensors on GPIO-14 and an infrared LED on GPIO-12 and would be grateful of some guidance. Here's my setup... Studio_20190131_173242.png The IR is setup based on the...

Hi grovkillen,

That was a huge help, thank you, much appreciated. Problem solved

Thanks, Mark

Hello, I have a wierd issue and hope some of you can help me. I have done loads of reading in the forum prior to posting, but if this topic has been covered elsewhere then please me know. I have a NodeMCU running this image: https://github.com/ToniA/ESPEasy/releases and everything seemed fine. Until...

Got it, and had already decided to ditch the KY-005 and go with a 5mm 940nm IR Emitter LED Diode. Final question... regarding this string: heatpumpir,panasonic_ckp,1,1,0,22,0,0 I assume there's a syntax legend somewhere on your GitHub site so I can send just the ON and OFF commands? And I assume I r...

The led should be off when it's not transmitting. Also, connect the led between GND (led -) and D3 (led +). Thanks Toni, confirmed, plain red LED working. You'll be happy to know my wife gave one of 'those' looks. Don't suppose you could point me somewhere that has a circuit diagram for connecting ...

Tried using a plain red LED as suggested by Toni on my NodeMCU... and here's what happened. First experiment LED + pin connected to the 3V pin LED - pin connected to D3 (GPIO0) pin Under devices this was the config:- Device: Heatpump IR transmitter Name: infrared Enabled: (ticked) 1st GPIO: GPIO-0 (...

Thanks Toni, fantastic tip. I am mindful these are seriously low level questions, so appreciate the patience of you and the other folks that have responded.

Thanks Robert, you are absolutely correct. Appreciate your feedback.

Hi Toni, I flashed the NodeMCU V3 with the ESPEasy Mega release from here: https://github.com/ToniA/ESPEasy/releases and the flashing went to plan. The command heatpumpir,panasonic_ckp,1,1,0,22,0,0 appears to execute and I get the response Heatpump IR code transmitted but the Infrared LED doesn't ap...

Hi Toni, one last question. I noted in some of your doco to capture IR codes from an AC remote you recommend using an Arduino. I have an old arduino uno, so I assume that would work? Can you recommend a firmware to use on the uno that would contain your code for capturing the IR codes? I am going to...

You can use the ESPEasy Mega release from here: https://github.com/ToniA/ESPEasy/releases This implements also a new command called 'heatpumpir', so if you go to 'Tools', you should be able to execute commands like this (see https://github.com/ToniA/ESPEasy/blob/HeatpumpIR/src/_P115_HeatpumpIR.ino ...

Forgot about regulator plugin and write it completely via rules. Hi kimot... thanks for the reply. Yep, using rules seems to be the general thinking. I'll see if I can track down some documentation on the rules i.e. for syntax, functions, etc. I figure rules can support mathematical equations so so...

Greetings, At the risk of sounding like a complete newby (guilty) I am going to ask a dumb question as my first post. I have spent loads of time reading but cannot work it out... so please be gentle in your replies. If this is not the place then politely tell me and I will try to find the answer els...

Greetings, I am in a similar situation, but coming from a very low knowledge base having never used ESP8266 previously. In essence I have a wall mounted split system AC unit and I would like a simple way of turning the AC unit on and off (only) via infrared. Being new to the forum if adding my comme...
