thanks jgrad, I was thinking to verify if those functionality can be implemented as plugins, but the time I've avail this period is very limited....

Hi, I'm experienceing some "strange" behavior but could be it's normal and I've never realized until today... After ESPEasy boot the "On System#Boot do" is executed almost immediately after WiFi and Controller connection which is fine. The strange thing is that after the above ru...

Just got this article http://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=339 which I understood ESP3212 moduel has been cancelled (?) and new one named ESP32S is just come out. I've checked eBay who seems to be the only site I can find the new chip on sale for 7.99$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/ESP-32S-WiFi-Bluetooth-...

Hi, I would like to raise these requests as I believe many of us will find them beneficial. GLOBAL COMMANDS I found few situation where I need to send same commands to all my ESPEasy nodes, and it's annoying to connect to each of them and as well time wasting. Woudl be great to create a way (maybe v...

papperone

Yes, in config tab is called "unit nr.".
By default all units are labelled as '0', try to set this value different for each node.

papperone

Did you assign different device number to each node?

I uploaded my basic test plugin for neopixel in the playground: https://github.com/ESP8266nu/ESPEasyPluginPlayground/blob/master/_P122_NeoPixel.ino Use rules commands to control single WS2812 leds into any color: neoPixel <led nr>,<red>,<green>,<blue> Who can change the code to use it with mqtt? it...

To be on the safe side I'll suggest to use a voltage divider. As well please note there are different ACS712 chip with different max values (5A, 20A and 30A if I remember correctly) but if you want just to know the status on/off the measurement accuracy is not relevant. Another "simple" tr...

Check this setting in tools/advanced menu: Message Delay (ms): defaults to 1000 but can be lowered. This could be the delay that you're experiencing. Thanks Martinus, that was it! I admit I've never realize there was such parameter in the Advanced Tab. FYI bringing it to 0 did not work as the butto...

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. If your scope is to make sure the relay is closed then you shoudl do it differently as this way you describe is not bringing any added control. You need to check the physical state of the relay with, for example, a current sensor on the output of relay t...

This could be due to the default 1000 mSec delay after sending stuff to your controller. Try what happens if you set it to 0. I am not sure I understand. I don't see any delay parameter in the controller setup I have when I connect to ESPEasy device. Can you help clarify? PS in RC firmware the foot...

papperone

I use MQTT and all works with multiple ESPEasy switches controlling a single relay.
As well using NodeRed you can create soft link (switch to relay) and control all node behaviour.

I only still need to find a solution to fix the >1 sec delay in switch-GPIO reset once button is released (bounce)

papperone

good to be helpful

papperone

You can send it at boot or at a given interval using events.

back to the "hardcoding" of addresses to device: I am testing ADS1115 which is a supported device and it works, but in the i2c scanner is seen as below: ADS1115 0x48 --> PCF8591 ADC ADS1115 0x49 --> TLS2561 Lux Sensor ADS1115 0x4A --> <empty> ADS1115 0x4B --> <not recognized> I still don't...

Coding is the less of my worries :) I just want make sure I choose the best option with minimal impact for me. I guess the safest is to write my own plugin so I will disconnect from all the rules while maintaininig easy upgrate to future version of ESPEasy, but I do like as well the custom timer opt...

Sorry for the OT, can you please tell how those graph/chart are generated? It is some kind ok automation software?

Hi ! EVENT: indicates that you are using Rules ... And the Rules are only fired once a second. Look at the code: void runOncePerSecond() { ..... if (Settings.UseRules) rulesTimers(); I think that is your missing second ... And while the runOncePerSecond has to do a lot other stuff ... You end up wi...

Am I the only one with this problem?
Isn't there any other user using ESPEasy to get input from a physical push-button?

papperone

Hi, I've been running this issue since I started using ESPEasy and I cannot find a way to solve it even looking at the code. I setup a push button (physically attached to GPIO13/D7 to one of my unit) as per below: http://i.imgur.com/maJIc1i.png No matter what I setup (I tried literally everythign!) ...

Hi Martinus, - R138 Bugfix #1: Clock event at system boot issues Tested and confirm it's working perfectly now!

Just a question: is it possible to control the parameters via MQTT or HTTP command, or just via the task interface?

papperone

It seems to be that the "lag" or delay (or whatever you call it!) is generated by the Events management

Does anyone know how frequent the events are parsed and eventually actions taken?

papperone

As I imagine overclocking my wemos' did not help... I'm sure it's not a microprocessor speed issue (as I wrote the command from my GUI using MQTT is reactive as it should and I can press the switch without suffering any delays). The delay is somehow in the ESPEasy way of managing "Switch input&...

papperone

I experienced the same thing once, but then I optimized the delay settings in ESPEasy, and I took care of the settings in the Arduino IDE, like flash mode QUI, 80MHz flash speed, etc. I can't even tell exactly what setting was the most effective, but afterwards the lag was gone. If this still doesn...

If more than 10 messages are missed , the remote Node will be wiped from the list to prevent traffic to dead nodes.

Thanks for the clear explanation

papperone

Tools --> Advanced --> enable "Rules" checkmark

papperone

Indeed, rebooting all units now makes the feature working, thanks!!!

Just one more question, what is the column "age" reporting? for sure it's not uptime (as I supposed it was) as today my units reports either 1 o 0 in this column.
Can you explain what is this value meaning?

papperone

Never did it but should be working with simple EVENT RULE:

Code: Select all

on Sensor#temperature>25 do
    gpio,2,0
endon

on Sensor#temperature<21 do
    gpio,2,1
endon

Hi, as I'm having now several ESP8266 with ESPEasy I though to enable the Node List function. Basically in the advanced settings I added the same UDP port to all modules and I enabled the "Global Synch" checkbox. Now each module can list itself in the "Main Page" (before the list...

Just using this topic instead of openign a new one as I believe is pretty much connected.

papperone

Thanks for the quick answer, will wait for the fix

papperone

my 2cents: - why not to make R137 last stable for 512Kb modules ? - then from R138 and above only >=1Mb modules will be supported - I'm not sure it's beneficials to deploy such many features for a 2 GPIOs module (as previously mentioned) - even keeping with the R137 all those modules shoudl be able ...

papperone

of course it's not... My idea is to do it of course as I already have a similar function in my previous sketches! As soon as I will have some free time I'll study how to proeprly implement it in EASPEasy; about old 512Kb module I believe it's really limiting to keep on supporting them (ESP01 with 2 ...

Hi, I'm starting to move all my ESP8266/WemosD1 to ESPEasy and I must admit it makes life easier than before as I can deal with all of them remotely. Only one feature I used to have implemented I miss. I used to have all my ESP listen to a global MQTT topic for general purpouses and one handy one wa...

papperone

it does not work

I have this rule setup:

Code: Select all

On System#Boot do
  Publish /%sysname%/lastboot,%systime%
endon

but the topic contents after boot is ",0:00" (yes, including the comma)...
is it a bug or I'm doing somethign wrong?

papperone

Martinus wrote:Have you tried sending %systime% ?

NO, will try soon... but how do I find some documentation about all those "tricks"?
I've the feeling ESPEasy is great but with eventually many "hidden" features coudl be even better!!!

No worries, yes it's same as yours beside I don't have EVENTS. It connects, init I2C, Book=OK and Normal Boot; then it starts to print out just boot time and memory.
