How does SmartNodeRules know when the door is open or closed? My SmartNodeRules plugin communicates with the onboard MCU to get the status. No variable needed at all. Current rules: On System#Boot do tuyasend 1,0,0 tuyasend 2,1,2 tuyasend 2,1,3 endon On Wifi#Connected do sendtoudp 255.255.255.255,6...

How long does the uC keeps the tywe3s (esp) on when the firmware don't actively sends the rights messages over uart to the uC? It's about 13 seconds in total in my case. Takes 3 seconds to get connected. I can ping it for about 10 seconds. With serial comms, it's only powered for 5 seconds, so it w...

Has anyone got the door sensor running on custom firmware? I have one running with SmartNodeRules. Just updated the plugin so it creates a rule event "TUYA#Event=<state>" when the sensor detects a change. Sample rule: On TUYA#Event do msgbus %sysname%/DoorSwitch=%eventvalue% endon Any of ...

I also reverse engineered the serial protocol to find out that it's not really following protocol as documented. Taken from my plugin comments: * tuyaSend <cmd>,<len>,<value> Send a serial message to the 'tuya' MCU as used on LSC Smart Connect PIR and Doorsensors * * Still debugging. Official docume...

Latest commit of ESPCoreRules has a work-in-progress quick and dirty plugin for the doorsensor: ESPCoreRules/_P201_TUYA.ino You might be able to see how it works from this plugin: https://github.com/SmartNodeRules/ESPCoreRules/blob/master/_P201_TUYA.ino The plugin currently sends messages received f...

I had the latest dev ESPCoreRules code on my laptop. I added a "reset" command that should format and create the files. Commit to github just now. This version also has serial debug enabled so you could see a bit more on serial. You could try this: Upload the latest code Boot the ESP, wait...

AFAIK, the door sensor has no GPIO attached to any hardware. Only RX/TX is connected to the other MCU. I'm working on a serial plugin for ESPCoreRules to read the status from the other MCU and instruct it to power off again. I have seen an existing plugin for ESP Easy to controll Tuya MCU that might...

If you hardcoded the Wifi SSID it does not depend on SPIFFS. As long as it prints "SPIFFS?" on serial, the system is unable to mount SPIFFS. From my experience it means that there is no formatted SPIFFS partition or it is in the wrong area. For Wemos D1 mini, i use 4M (1M SPIFFS) setting o...

FanOfHue

It looks like the SPIFFS partition does not mount for some reason. That's a major requirement to continue. Did you use exactly the same compiler settings for ESP Easy and ESPCoreRules?

Can you please give little how to guide so I can setup my esp8266 device using your firmware. I looked at wiki pages but it does not have information on how to get started.I was able to compile & upload for esp8266 but in serial console I get this: ⸮ogl`orǛ⸮g#⸮ls⸮⸮gb⸮d⸮⸮dd⸮⸮$`⸮⸮n⸮h SPIFFS? sd I...

I found some more info and a tear-down of these devices on a the German forum mikrocontroller.net . It seams that the OTA update with Tuya-convert has been disabled by Tuya with a new firmware and these devices would have the new update. Also some of these devices don't have the esp8266 or esp8285 ...

I'm not aware of any custom firmware for the RTL modules.

FanOfHue

I seems that you can use a project named Tuya-Convert to replace the firmware OTA way, but then you would need an RPI-3. I don't have one, so i took the hardware hack road: Doorsensor.png Not really difficult to do. A siimple header gives access to RX/TX and GPIO-0 and that's all you need. I used Ar...

The doorsensor has also been migrated to a SmartNode with custom firmware.

Yesterday i found some nice new products available in the Dutch Action store. A full range of Wifi sensors and lights most of them under 9.95 euro each. I bought some sensors to see what's inside and some of them have the Tuya ESP8266 module. So hack friendly i guessed So my first "SmartNodeRul...

I've pushed an update to GitHub: https://github.com/SmartNodeRules/NanoCore The core loop is a lot faster now as i've changed the "scheduler' using interrupt driven timers that will also be more accurate. Also changed the unconditional call to a 100_per_second call which should be more than eno...

I've just updates several repositories on github. Main update is the addition of the group feature on the Node List.

Just upgraded my dev node from ESPEasy, dated 2018-11-22 to the latest stable release dated 2019-06-30 (last release seems to crash) But now, the smartnoderules plugin no longer works.

This sounds really great. I was also thinking about something similar, to use a small 'co processor' board to either handle time critical stuff (ESP8266 is not good at real time stuff) or help to extend some GPIO pins like serial to I2C or something like that. Can you show more? (and Jimmy will upd...

Would be great if the plugin is added and maybe other people could have use cases for it. I currently use the messagebus for sensor data that is repeated every minute so i guess that some missed messages get unnoticed. Looking at the sensor graphs, i don't see any gaps. I've defined a confirmation f...

I really like the idea. The ESPeasy p2p protocol is getting some rewrite to share plugin data among nodes. If you need any changes/additions or have some good ideas, please let me know. This is just something I was thinking about also, but was not yet able to make it due to time and time lost in th...

Nice development! I've noticed you mentioning Python in your first post. Is this a pure Python based project? Meaning that it could run on other platforms that support Python. Like the ESP32? And did you know that another Python project (uPyEasy) already exist? Maybe you could team up with the other...

Hi, That sounds like a brillant idea - how much of it is workable at the moment??? I have a home automation system running on a couple of RPi-3s using Node-RED and MQTT.

I use OpenHab for home control, so I don't require a standalone solution. But there are ESP Easy that would benefit from your concept.

I'm using ArduinoEasy for a while with Domoticz. Could be nice to have a small webgui with power control buttons to control this unit directly.

I see, then we are on the same track. I've been working with Arduino microcontrollers for quite some time and build up a nice collection of hardware that is still in use around the house.

Hi guys, I’m new to ESP Easy and have succesfully flashed my first Sonoff S20 a couple of days ago. Things went pretty good and I can send commands via http get.

The current implementation of the P2P protocol is documented: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Controller/C013.html Yes it will change, but the change will be an addition. It will still be backwards compatible with existing protocol. Later I will add an option to disable the "old"...

Thanks for the comments, but my idea is not really about rule performance. The main reason for me to build a custom version was to get EVERYTHING rule based.

Because of my Message Bus project, i happen to know more about the UDP protocol used in ESP Easy. The controller is only used to send data.

Hello,

I'm working on a Message Bus idea that can do just that. I think it offers more freedom than the build-in P2P controller. You can catch and combine values into a task of choice. I have it working, but the plugin is draft status and not official.

Thanks for your reaction. Like to see if others are interrested in this Message Bus idea.
