ESP Easy and ioBroker

#1 Post by ChickenHead0815 » 07 Jul 2021, 21:50

Hello,

I am an absolute ESP Easy newbie and have implemented a DHT22 and OLED SSD1306 display on the ESP01 as the first project.

I looked here in the forum, but the question is probably too simple ;) :
-Which settings are necessary to continue using the DHT values via MQTT or similar in the IoBroker? :roll:

By using an ESP01 you're limiting yourself quite a lot as that one has a very limited number of pins and also only 1M flash which makes OTA update next to impossible.
You'd better go for a model with more pins and 4M flassh, like the NodeMCU boards or Wemos D1 mini.

What you need to do to send data to MQTT is adding a controller (web UI => Controller tab)
For example the OpenHAB MQTT controller, which is the most generic MQTT controller we have in ESPEasy.
You need to configure it (hostname/IP and if needed some credentials and don't forget to enable it. (and save the settings)

Then in the task you created for the DHT22, you'll see a new controller listed in that task configuration.
Check the box and the data will be sent to the connected controller.

Using something like MQTT Explorer (available via the Windows store) or some other MQTT tool, you can see the messages being published on the broker.
