Check Wifi Connection and set GPIO

[EPICENTER]

Hi,
can I setup a rule with a paramater that check the wifi connection?
So, that I can light up a LED if the connection to the network is fine and set the GPIO to low if the connection is to the WLAN is lost and the ESP entering the AP mode.
Regards Martin

Why dont you use The wifi gpio feature in Hardware tab?

Why dont you use The wifi gpio feature in Hardware tab?

Because I'd like to give more than 1 status with only 1 LED:
wifi status and functional status (for instance: if wifi KO blink fast elseif functional status KO blink slow else ON)
Could it be possible with the feature in Hardware? If not, how to do it?

1) This is a very old post you are reacting to

2) Don't think a hardware solution could help you, other than using a multi-colored LED or NeoPixel.
Blinking fast/slow/steady can be controlled from rules, just making choices based on the status of multiple inputs and setting it up using f.e. a loopTimerSet.

it was the only post near to what I was looking for...
ok for the rules, but I'm stuck with the variable to use...
I thought I could use

Code: Select all

LogEntry, %WiFi#Connected%

but it is empty

You can try %iswifi%
If it is < 7, you don't have a fully initialized WiFi.
See the system variables page (button on the Tools tab)

Thanks for the info
I did it like this

Code: Select all

on Rules#Timer=4 do // status LED
	timerSet,4,2
	if %iswifi% < 7 do // wifi KO
		LongPulse_ms,13,0,300
	elseif [TankLevel#Level_OK0_KO1]=1 do // level KO
		LongPulse_ms,13,0,1300
	else
		gpio,13,0
	endif	
endon
