How to configure switch input?

[rajd]

Hello all,

I've been using ESPEasy for a fair while now to gather data from a number of sensors. All my boards are running the latest prerelease of 2.0 and work like a charm, so I am a happy camper. There's just one thing I can't seem to get going: I want to use a momentary switch with ESP Easy.

I figured the standard switch input would suffice. I've tried a zillion of different configurations, yet to (almost) no avail. With R120 I can't get any results at all, with R210 I don't get any results. With 2.0 dev12 I sometimes get results

What I'm doing:
- Connect a switch between a GPIO and GND or 3.3V
- Configure the switch input as follows:
* Device = Switch input
* Delay = 1 (no effect on R120, seems to be a requirement for 2.0 to get any data over the line)
* IDX / Var = 1 (or something else, doesn't seem to do anything?)
* 1st GPIO: the GPIO my switch is connected to, tried a number of them
* Pull UP: tried both on and off, to no avail
* Inversed: tried both on and off
* Switch type: switch
* Switch button type: tried all options, used the low setting when connecting to GND, high when connected to 3.3V
* Send boot state: off (when turning it on, my MQTT broker receives a one-time push of the button)
* Send data: on

Am I missing something obvious here. I've tried a number of boards. I've made sure my MQTT connection is working. There's nothing interesting in the logs. Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you refresh your screen after changing the port ?

Internal PullUp: yes (if button goes to GND)
Inversed: No
Delay: 0
Switch type: Switch for e.g. door opener, active low for e.g. light switch (on/off)
IDX is for domoticz
That should work so far...

The rules:

on Button#State do
if [Button#State]=1
gpio 12,1
else
gpio 12,0
endif
endon

Thanks, seems I'm getting somewhere. The board I'm working with atm has an internal pull-up at GPIO2 / D4, so I configured my switch for GPIO2 as Push button active low, activated Pull-up (dunno if that's necessary given the GPIO2 specification?) and guess what... pushes of the button are communicated.

There's just one more thing I need to tackle: somehow the module keeps disconnecting from my MQTT server. That's behaviour I haven't seen before. My other modules don't seem to be affected by this. It's maybe the module.
