Let's Control It

I'm having a similar problem. Windows 10 64 bit laptop. Does not list the COM ports correctly or at all. When the active ports box is checked I get no ports listed. When unchecked it shows some (not all) and says (off line) after the name. I will try the flasher on my server later. Its a Windows 7 m...

Thanks for those suggestions. I think I found a simpler way. I rewrote the rule like this. On Send Do Pulse,2,1,100 TimerSet,1,3 If [Dummy#TempCode]=38607.00 Event,Pin1 Endif If [Dummy#TempCode]=55527.00 Event,Pin1 Endif Endon The pulse command flashes an led to indicate the keypress. The timer when...

Let me attempt to wrap what few brain cells I have left around that for a bit.

Getting a bit late here. Time for me to get some shut eye. Thanks for all the help.

I'm still trying to evaluate 3 things. The problem is the third thing could be any number. If this particular number or this particular number or this RANDOM number. How do you tell ESPEasy to call an event from a random value? Or set a dummy value from it?

budman1758

Since the rules engine is fairly simple in the ESP Easy FW I suspect that the event calls break the loop. Place the "Event, Clear" in the end of "Event,pin1" and "Event,pin2" instead of the event send as you have right now. EDIT: I read that wrong. Let me think some mo...

Howdy all. This is a part of my keypad project that I'm working on. Got the hardware issues pretty much settled and its working pretty well. I'm trying to make a certain thing happen and having a bit of trouble figuring out a rule sequence. I want ONE of three things to happen when I hit a certain k...

This looks great! Does it also work on ESP32?

but would you happen to have a windows flashing howto laying around anywhere? I'm not having much luck here....

I like the switch idea. Probably be easier to set up. Maybe...... conditions to control rules to control rules that work under these conditions.... but not that condition.... My head is spinning already. :lol: :lol: Does anybody else think it would be a useful enhancement? :?: If so I can put a requ...

Hello all. Not sure exactly when rules went from 1 page to 4 available pages. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to turn on or off a page of rules. Lets say you have a setup that uses timers to control sprinklers and you need a couple different programs to control them. Like a winter vs summer sc...

Just in case anybody is interested I purchased a HT16K33 keypad/matrix driver chip and set it up and it behaves the same. Still have to wait a few seconds between keypresses so that they are not missed. This chip is designed for this sort of thing so I thought perhaps it would behave differently. Gu...

budman1758

By the way, have you experimented with the message delay setting under the advanced menu? Setting it to 200mSec or maybe even 100mSec might speed things up? I have not tried that. Isn't that only related to the controller though? I am not using any right now. I will give it a go... No it's related ...

budman1758

Thanks grovkillen. With a couple minor mods I have that working quite well. I actually made it so it creates a different event for each possible keypress. The problem now is still the time it takes to enter the code. As I mentioned earlier the key press is not captured at all when the module is &quo...

Do you have a link for this project on Github?

Download link is at the bottom of the page. I just came across this by accident. It does not seem to be getting much advertisement.

I am beginning to see several problems with my approach.... I suggest you use a dummy to store the values and by each tap on a number you add a multiple. Dummy 1: store the sequence [1234567890] Dummy 2: store the multiple [10^n] For each tap: <Dummy 1>+<Key number>*10^<Dummy> Also Add +1 to the dum...

grovkillen wrote: ↑10 Dec 2017, 20:42 If possible, could you try to change the keypad from task 1 to task 5? Just as a test since the first 4 tasks are used for pulse counter devices, they are interrupted more frequently.

I just tried that and cannot see any noticeable difference.

I changed my wifi settings and un-hid the network and it connected right away. Maybe a bug?

After watching the serial output for a bit I can verify why the keypad input is so flaky. Whenever the unit is "doing something" the keypad inputs are not captured. It the module is outputting ANYTHING to the serial output no keys are sensed. If this is normal then I believe it will be use...

Hope this is the right place for this. I am trying to get this up and running to experiment. I seem to get the firmware loaded and it runs but no matter how many ways or times I try it will not connect to my router. Just keeps saying "cant connect to AP! I have tried from serial terminal and th...

budman1758

Well..... Ya kinda lost me there. I am using dummy devices to temporarily store the input values. My approach was to store the key inputs as they were punched in then compare the result to a predetermined value. These are the numbers that the PCF8574 plugin are producing per keypad press... 1 = 0x00...

budman1758

OK. Did a little rewiring and things are starting to make sense. I wired the column outputs to the first 4 ports on the PCF8574 and the row outputs to the next 3 ports. So using ports 1-7. Put 10K resistors on the Ic2 line and now I get much better signals in the log output. They also got a lot more...

I think the entire web-interface would benefit from a good redesign. Would it be good enough if you had a single link to open that command page? Not to clutter the top bar too much, but just to allow quick access to certain sub pages. I always like the "basic"/"advanced" approac...

budman1758

If you mean by "outside the wifi" that you want to control it from "anywhere" then you need to set up a port forwarding rule in your router config to point to your esp unit. Due to security concerns this is generally not recommended. It can be done though. There are many resource...

Hello all. Something that I think would be handy is to put the command input box at the top of the Tools page instead of the bottom.

budman1758

There are a few ways to make that happen. Mostly depends on your hardware. If you want a pushbutton switch you will need to set it up on another GPIO and set up a rule to toggle the relay. If using a on-off switch you can probably use it to control the relay and set up a task on the GPIO that contro...

It does not look like Armbian has any images for Raspberry anything. Their focus seems to be ARM and Allwinner chips. Thats not to say it cant be ported to Raspberry.

I too would like a OrangePi Zero and an ESP32 version. Thanks!!

budman1758

I like your development board. Does it come with a parts list? Most of them look to be pretty standard stuff but sometimes it can be hard to source stuff without part numbers and such.

budman1758

Just ordered me a couple ESP32's. Can't wait to give it a go.

I did not try that. I just reflashed them and reprogrammed them. All they do it control a light so its not a real big deal. Strange though.....

budman1758

Hello. You do not need to define a task for the relay side of this unless you need to "read" the status of the relay. A task for the switch is enough to make it work. You will find yourself running out of tasks at 12 which is not enough for the MCP23017. What kind of switch? Momentary or s...

No idea how to implement it but perhaps support for this module could help with long delay issues.

Not sure if it will help with the differences in data but methinks one way to slow it down so to speak is increase the sensor delay time? If I'm not mistaken this might help with the excess.
