I made another observation: I let my devices run overnight and obviously they rebooted several times. In the morning the load was on 100% even if uptime was only 1 minute. The normal load is about 5% after power up. After a few reboots I also observed loads around 25% with the tendency to increase ...

Hello dduley, Thanks for the note, but it does not work with Port 1 :( Hi Bodyfix, How is your PCF8574 wired up? These things are really open drain output (Even though the data sheet says they are push pull). They really do best when they pull down. This requires an external pullup resistor. What a...

Most cheap UV modules generate a analog output voltage that is proportional to the amount of UV so this is perfectly compatible with ESPEasy. Connect the outputPin of the module to the ADC pin of the ESP and make the voltage-range between 0-1 volt if nescessary. Some NodeMCU boards take an ADC inpu...

Hi All, I think I discovered a weird bug. I'm using R105. I have an electric gate that gets a command from Openhab to momentarily close a relay on PCFGPIO1. I wanted the driveway lights to come on when the gate is opened. I am monitoring PCFGPIO 1 with a switch task. This works well. The ESP module ...

Dear all... I going to build a terrarium for my kids their new breaded dragon.. How can i make a simple pc fan working on my ESP. And then with Domoticz switching on and of Hi Dylantje, Mmmm!......Breaded Dragon sounds yummy. I bet it would go well with Lemon and butter :) I assume the Fan is 12VDC...

hi there, I have a doubt regarding SSID & Key: If you have already defined a valid ssid/key and you want to re-run the wizard (for example because you move the esp to another location), you can't. Is it correct ? If so, I think it could be a nice thing if you could go to http://<esp_name>/setup...

Hi Dave, I use the 512k (64 k SPIFF), which should be appropriate for -01 and -201 modules.Any other ideas? Stefan Hi Stefan, I have had many problems with resetting. The code as it stands right now isn't very stable. I think there are issues with task storage memory or something like that. I have ...

dduley

Thank you Dave and others, yes, debug - 0 Serial ; debug - 4 Web works, but the web interface stands still longish periods, but it works, busy with more tests. Hi JR01, Did you ever resolve your slow web interface? Are you, by chance, trying to connect more than one DS18B20 at a time? I just tried ...

dduley

In my opinion that's exactly what the ESPEasy project was meant for, collecting sensor data and sent it , wireless over IP, to a server/system where the data is saved, processed and displayed in the form you want it. That is why I use Domoticz for that purpose. I prefer Domoticz over all the web/cl...

dduley

Hi All, The other thing I just noticed is that the count values are not non-volatile. If you reset the module all the count information goes away. It would be good to save the count in flash and have a clear button on the count task or something like that. I am using mine to accumulate water usage i...

dduley

I may have found a clue. Line 27 in _P003_Pulse.ino states: Device[deviceCount].VType = SENSOR_TYPE_SINGLE; ...which indicates to me it may only report one value to ThingSpeak (my issue in another thread) and may only apply a formula to the first result. If you look at line 23 in _P005_DHT.ino, you...

Hi All, I am trying to use the pulse count feature to read the output of a water meter. I get 1 pulse for every ten gallons of water. That all works fine but when I try to use the formula to convert pulses to gallons all I get is the pulse count and total. The total increments by 1 for every pulse b...

Hi All,

When I save a configuration file I get a .TXT file but when I open it with a text editor it seems to be giberish and acts like a binary file. Is this correct? Is the format of this file documented other than sorting through the source?

Just curious

Thanks

Dave

dduley

Thanks! This is useful information. As I said I accidentally clicked on GPIO 9. The fingers are faster than the brain sometimes. There should be a way to clear the settings for ESPEasy in case of such an occurrence. Once I set GPIO 9 in a SWITCH task the module became unresponsive. The serial port d...

dduley

Hi All, Tonight I was trying to setup a switch input on one module. I accidentally chose GPIO 9 from the drop down menu. I hit enter and my ESP became brain dead. It would reset every few seconds. On the serial port it would say WDT reset. I reloaded the ESPEasy R104 and no joy. I loaded R078, still...

I think we have another BOT trolling the list

dduley

Hi updated to 104 and still the resets occur. I have set debug - 0 Serial ; debug -2 Web. Sometimes the node works for hours, but the it starts resetting again. Sometime it helps to switch it off completely... No clue what causes this. The errors occur on esp8266-201's and on a esp8206-01 Any help ...

dduley

HI All, I have been wanting to use GPIO output state for triggering rules and to just be able to tell whether an output is on or off. I found that if I make a task with a SWITCH input for the GPIO in question I can use it as an output and still monitor the pin state as an input. This could be useful...

dduley

Hi again, Loving the new features! Can the current I/O state be used in rules? Example: on Button#Value do if [PCFGPIO,4]=0 pcfgpio,4,1 else pcfgpio,4,0 endif endon this would allow the use of a momentary push button to control an output in a Push-on/Push-off style Sorry, but that will not work.

I have 2 x R78's, and one R103 on ESP12F, and although this one is unresponsive on web interface, it seams they are happily talking to one another on UDP. Strange.... the 1st two are the R78's, the last one is the version R103. See below. QUESTION: Does anybody know what the " Age" column...

I had 10 esp modules all running happily on R101. Bit of a newbie on the Arduino compile, I use ESPEasy_Master - which is R103, if you say R101 is working, where do I find that code to compile? Hi JR01, It was on Github a few days ago but now R101 has been replaced by R103. I didn't see any archive...

dduley

I had 10 esp modules all running happily on R101. Uptimes were in the thousands of minutes. When R103 popped up i upgraded all 10 units via OTA update. All went fine but then i noticed 2 of the modules started resetting themselves every few minutes. One i connected via USB and re burned it. it still...

Hi all,

How about an option to support dual protocols. It would be useful to send data via MQTT to OpenHab or other but also push values to Thingspeak as a backup and convenient way to share certain things with others in the wild.

Hi again, Sorry, but that will not work. The [..#..] will be substituted with a value if it can find a matching taskname/taskvalue pair. This might work however: on Button#Value do pcfgpio,4,[Button#Value] endon Yeah, but that won't latch (Will it?). What I want is a Push-On, Push-Off type response...

The "LC=xxxxx" shows the actual count, being the number of main program loops during one second, measured as a 30 second average. What's the LC value in your situation? My units reach a value near 30.000. One of my units with a lot of tasks shows 24% (LC=19812) Most of my units now are sh...

Another issue I have noticed on many units. The WIFI LED setting under the hardware tab can set any IO or blank for this function. I have found that many times if I set up a few tasks I can no longer select blank for the WIFI LED. If one is using most of the I/O this will cause the output or inputs...

Thanks for responding! I must say I have had a blast using the ESPEasy firmware. The blank selection for the Wifi LED still shows up in the drop down but it cannot be selected. If I load a NodeMCU with a 12E fresh with R095 (This problem has been noticed since R083) I can select any of the Wifi LED ...

dduley

On all my ESP units (They are all 12Es and there are about 10 of them on my network) The LOAD value under main slowly climbs to 100% after reset. Is this normal? I have one unit that sits at about 40% most of the time but all the rest go to 100% within 4 or 5 minutes. I wouldn't expect the processor...

I get the Switch on task 1 task name etc not saving as well on R095! If I enter a task name and value name it shows up in the task list. If I refresh the page the task name changes to blank and the variable name changes back to Switch. I tried re-compiling with different memory setting as I had a si...

Update: All of my units are now running R091. No more resets. I believe that I was not running the latest ESPCore.

dduley

I have 2 of my units running R078 the rest are running R084. I downgraded the two units to see if R078 touted as the last "Stable" version would make a difference. On one unit it reset several time within the first 15 minutes. I use ESP8266-12E modules so I used the 4096 version of the cod...

A little update: I spent all day yesterday with serial adapters connected to several of my ESPs. I eliminated all tasks and just used the native GPIO output to control a solid state relay. I still have resets. Now it is always the Fatal Exception (28) error message. My ESP modules are all ESP8266-12...

dduley

I get this as well on all of my units. I have 10 or so ESPs scattered around. They all suffer from occasional resetting. Them message is "mac 662" or sometimes I get a "Fatal Error (28)" followed by a stack dump. This is a major problem for me because I am controlling lights and ...

Try going to the github site and look under "plugin playground". The event plugin is there

dduley

Ben,

You, my friend, are awesome!!! I can now go bandage my head from beating it against the keyboard for the last week! This field should be documented better (or at all). I gave all of my ESP units a unique number and all my problems went away.

Thanks again

Dave

dduley

Hi, I am using R78 with openhab and Mosquitto. All seems to connect just fine but if you watch the log the ESP will send three temperature transmissions followed by "MQTT : Connection lost MQTT : Connected to broker" . This increases the error count. when the error count reaches 30 the ESP...

How about extending the gpio pulse output (i.e. http://<ESP IP address>/control?cmd=Pulse,<pin>,<state>,<duration>) to work with PCFGPIO outputs as well. This would be useful for relay control of garage doors and entry gates etc.
