Which release for a sonoff S20

[Gilles]

I have a sonoff S20 flashed with

sonoff.JPG (17.73 KiB) Viewed 17261 times

I am using it to check if a window is open for more than 10 minutes and then it sends a mail. The mail doesn't work anymore. I would like to use smtp2go but,
I cannot configure the notification with smtp2go because the "pass" field is missing.
I need to upgrade the sonoff S20. It makes a long time that I have not configured espeasy.

1) Which version would you recommend ?
2) Can I just open the tools/Load screen and choose the 1024 bin file once unzipped?

Thanks for your help.

For 1M builds we currently don't have one that can be flashed via OTA.
But if you are willing to connect the node to the PC for flashing, you can use just any 1M build with the correct CPU (ESP8266 or ESP8285)

[Gilles]

Thanks
I have upgraded the sonoff S20 to the version : ESP_Easy_mega_20201125_custom_beta_ESP8266_1M.bin with Arduino becasue the ESP.Easy.Flasher.exe didn't work for me.

But I don't see the fields :

And the main panel shows "GIT Version Custom" instead of the version number

Did I miss something ?
Thanks

[TD-er]

Hmm that doesn't look like the current source code.
It is missing the icons in the tabs and the first page doesn't have this split layout of system info for a long time anymore.

It looks like the web interface of +/- 2 years ago, so what source code were you using?

[Gilles]

I have downloaded : ESPEasy_ESP82xx_mega-20201125.zip 72094 Ko
from : https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... a-20201125

[TD-er]

Can you show the build date on the sysinfo page?

[Gilles]

I am afraid there is no date.

Can it be an arduino issue with the compilation ?
I have tried several times to use ESP.Easy.Flasher.exe but once started with the right COM port and bin file, it doesn't do anything.

[TD-er]

Yep this proves it.
You didn't update the firmware and it is still running the old firmware.

Make sure you keep GPIO-0 connected to GND (probably the button pressed) when resetting the ESP and keep it pressed until you start flashing.

[Gilles]

Thanks,
I will give it a try.
But the arduino has loaded the firmware anyway. And there was no compilation error

I will check this evening. I will also try again to use your tool instead of Arduino.

[Gilles]

I have tried to use ESP.Easy.Flasher.exe. No way,
it stays frozen with:

sonoff7.JPG (110.68 KiB) Viewed 17193 times

The port is the COM3 port. The FTDI doesn't blink.
I have also tried to tick DOUT.

Then I have used Arduino and it has compiled and loaded a version(with the same wiring) , but you are right it is an old Espeasy version. After selecting the right "ESPEasy.ino" file, the compilation has started and I have got a lot of errors (file not found) . It seems that the directory structure is not the one that arduino expects.
I have tried to copy the missing files in the right directories, but there are too many errors.
So I give up for this evening.

I would really appreciate some help to fix the problem that I have with your tool to be able to load the bin file instead of compiling one.

The SONOFF S20 is a standard one that I use for several years.

[Gilles]

This morning, I have tried to use FlashESP8266.exe instead. I have copied the bin file I want in the same directory and it has worked. The SONOFF S20 has been flashed.

BUT , the notification tab is empty

When I edit a notification it shows nothing but "None" in the list.
Do you prefer I open a new case ?

[Gilles]

I have downgraded to ESP_Easy_mega_20201016_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin instead of ESP_Easy_mega_20201125_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin and now, the notifications are back

[Gilles]

The smtp notification doesn't work but I may have a configuration issue.
On the other hand, it seems that this version doesn't detect when a timer reaches 0 so doesn't trigger the rules/notifications.
I think that I will downgrade again to the version I was using for several years as the new ones are not reliable.
To summarize, with a SONOFF S20 :
ESP_Easy_mega_20201125_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin : notification tab empty
ESP_Easy_mega_20201016_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin: timer = 0 is not managed, so rules are not triggered and the smtp notification doen't work (I don't see anything about in the log)

[TD-er]

I have downgraded to ESP_Easy_mega_20201016_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin instead of ESP_Easy_mega_20201125_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin and now, the notifications are back

Yep I noticed the "normal" builds were accidentally marked as "limit build size", which also excludes the notification plugins.
Will be fixed in the next build.

[Gilles]

any idea about the timers issue?
In the log, there is a record when the timer is set, but the rules are not applied when the timer reaches 0 .

Do you have an example?
Timers should work, so I think it may be a syntax error thingy...

[Gilles]

Thanks, I will check the config.
1) What would be the LOG config to see a maximum of events?
Today I have set

2) Do you have an ETA for the next build?

[TD-er]

Debug dev is the most data, but that may also be too much as the data also has to be generated and sent to wherever you want it to end up.

Please note that all builds with "Limit build size" set (which sadly also applies to "normal" in the last build) you don't have debug logs (and the more verbose debug-dev)

I planned to make a build later today.

[Gilles]

The Release mega-20201130 has been published but it only contains 4M versions. Would be it possible to have the 1M version ?

You need the other download, with ESP8266 in it's name, you downloaded the ESP32 file.

[Gilles]

oops, I was too impatient.
My bad
Thanks

[TD-er]

oops, I was too impatient.

Well then it is nice to realize you had a reply in 6 minutes

[Gilles]

I have uploaded the ESP_Easy_mega_20201130_normal_ESP8266_1M.bin release to the SONOFF. Again I get no notification available.
Can you help ?

[TD-er]

I will have a look...

[TD-er]

Ah found it....

Code: Select all

#ifdef SIZE_1M
  #ifdef USES_C003
    #undef USES_C003
  #endif
  #ifndef LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE
    #define LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE
  #endif
#endif

So for 1M builds it is indeed excluded.
I will have a look at it to see what can be done to fix it without making it way too complex.

[Gilles]

Thanks a lot.
Good luck
Gilles

[Gilles]

Else, could you advise an older espeasy version (which has the notification feature) that I could use as I don't need a lot of features : I have connected one reed to detect when the window is open and 3 rules ( timer + sendhttp + sendmail) ?
Thanks
Gilles

[Ath]

I have been running the 20201022 release very stable on a couple of Sonoff's over here. It has the Notification plugins for Email and Buzzer included.

[Gilles]

Thanks,
I will download it asap.

Regards,
Gilles

[Gilles]

You are right, this version (20201022) works well. I have everything I need now:)
Thanks
Gilles
