Re: ESP Easy Mega
Sorry about that but it's pretty fast to just screenshot the settings and re-enter them once flashed.

Yes, but scribbling them down was not much of a problem. In these high-tech days we sometimes underestimate the power of pen-and-paper....grovkillen wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017, 17:52 Sorry about that but it's pretty fast to just screenshot the settings and re-enter them once flashed.
Anyway, I loaded the Mega version and re-specified the three sensors, and the unit is now up and running again without any problem.
Leaves me with the question why the p52 plugin is still in status "test"? I had to change the ifdef to get it included.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I'll have to try that. I compiled the Mega version, and it works. Except it still does not communicate with Domoticz when I define as "air quality". Works OK as custom device.grovkillen wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017, 20:25It shouldn't be in test, latest code:manjh wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017, 18:26Yes, but scribbling them down was not much of a problem.

Another thing: in the Wiki text it is mentioned to use 47 Ohm resistors as precaution. But the pictures show straight wires, no resistors as far as I can see.
And when I look in the code, the resistors are suddenly 1K!
Which one is correct? zero, 47, or 1000 Ohms?

BTW, this S8 device is amazing, when you think about what it does. A laboratory in a very small box.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
Yes it's great!
The resistor is mentioned in the official documentation so I added it to the wiki. I might remove it or explain it further.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
It is and Senseair is really impressed with the ESP Easy initiative. Thanks to the developers a "noob" can get a S8 sensor up and running (reporting to the rest of the world) in less than an hour!

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I agree. Setting it up on a breadboard is really simple. I spent most of the time figuring out why it would not report into the Air Quality device in Domoticz, but that is hardly a SenseAir problem.grovkillen wrote: ↑16 Aug 2017, 12:33It is and Senseair is really impressed with the ESP Easy initiative.

As for the "noob"? I don't qualify. I have worked for Big Blue for many years in several technical and managerial positions. That is probably why I have a nack of finding bugs.....
Speaking of one. I read in several places that the S8 has a power-sensitive limit of 5.2V, above which the unit (lamp?) will almost certainly die.
Do you know why the designers have not added a simple safety in there? I think a zener would do the job. On an industrial scale it cannot cost much more than a few cents, and compared to the total price of this sensor I would not hesitate.

Regarding the 5.2V limit, I will forward this to the electro-engineers! Thanks for the feedback.

As for the Zener: good luck... consider it a small insurance premium. And it would also remove those nasty warning signs.

There is an empty WeMOS PCB you may use for these circuits.

Regarding the non-shield guide I did it mainly for it's compact design and easy to follow (the wires) for a new user. But we might have to create an "official" shield

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I don't think there is an "official" shield. And as soon as we choose one, some clever Chinese developer will come up with an even better one...

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I talked to the electro-engineers regarding the protection of the sensor. They responded that since this is an OEM product the protection should be on the overall system level, at least that was what the original idea was. New product will most likely end up with more end users (with the ever growing popularity of ESP Easy etc.) so we'll consider adding onboard protection.manjh wrote: ↑16 Aug 2017, 13:19I agree.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I just installed esp easy mega latest version instead of 148.
Upgrading failed: after the upgrade the device was not connected to the wifi anymore, and not sending its own.
I reflashed it, than it worked.
1 question: is there anything changed in rules? I am curious wheter nested commands now work.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
I think that when upgrading to this level, you should be prepared to re-install all settings. Anything that still works after the upgrade is lucky.ewaldharmsen wrote: ↑08 Jan 2018, 18:14 I just installed esp easy mega latest version instead of 148.

Also, I know that the backup/restore between the releases does not work.I ran into this problem and reported it as a bug: it turns out that the file format differs somehow, not sure if it will be fixed.
Bottom line: when upgrading, make sure you have all the info about devices and rules written down somewhere, or take screenshots. After the upgrade be prepared to enter manually...

Nested commands? please specify what you mean exactly.ewaldharmsen wrote: ↑08 Jan 2018, 18:14 1 question: is there anything changed in rules? I am curious wheter nested commands now work.
I have been using rules that trigger other events in turn, so if that is what you mean: yes, it works.

Re: ESP Easy Mega
Yes the update between R1XX and 2.0.0 is big and the config file is none compatible (we're working on that though) so the update will make the unit wiped and cleaned from most settings. A possible workaround is to manually backup the settings with screenshots or scribble on a piece of paper. I use my "ESP Easy Webdumper" for that.ewaldharmsen wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 16:53Yes I do that as well, I was hoping for an if else structure...
My point was that the upgrade fails so that I need physical acces to all devices

Indeed the config is incompatible, but the device should fall back to AP mode, so you might not need physical access in that case?ewaldharmsen wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 16:53Yes I do that as well, I was hoping for an if else structure...

hi I found a strange behavier with the generic pulse counter, seems that the time variable gets an overflow which corrupts the count value for the time always when the time value is flipping over to 0 again. i postet it in detail in the link above, maybe the wrong place...
