TimerStop Rule

[maluko]

hi guys

thanks for the work that all have done.

i am thinking about this rules command "TimerStop" that dont are implemmented, i wonder that was a good idea to save memory when its is runing the timerset command.

So i will give a example:

i have domoticz to send http command to start event on esp "http://xx.xx.xx.xx/control?cmd=event,rele10", and on esp rules have:

Code: Select all

on rele10 do
 MCPGPIO,1,0 // Open valve
 timerSet 1,1800
endon
on Rules#Timer=1 do
 MCPGPIO,1,1 // close valve
endon

so mean that the rule will run 30 min to close the relay, but this is only for security because on domoticz i only have timer for 5,10,15, or 20 min, dont want when domoticz fails have the irrigation run for internity.
resume: domoticz open and close the relay but esp rule timer continues run after close.

what i want say with this?

with this command we could do this:

Code: Select all

on rele10 do
 MCPGPIO,1,0  //open valve
 timerSet 1,1800
endon
on Rules#Timer=1 do
 MCPGPIO,1,1 //close valve
endon
on rele10#Switch=1
  timerStop 1 //will stop timer  if valve are close before 1800s
endon  

I have 8 reles running one after the other, but it is causing some reboot so I think it will exceed the RULES_TIMER_MAX or SYSTEM_TIMER_MAX.

thanks and merry christmas

If you can live with 1 second delay you could do

Code: Select all

on rele10 do
 MCPGPIO,1,0  //open valve
 timerSet 1,1800
endon
on Rules#Timer=1 do
 MCPGPIO,1,1 //close valve
endon
on rele10#Switch=1
  timerSet 1,1 //will set the timer to 1 second ~"stop" the timer (maybe even 0 works, i never tried)
endon  

concerning your reboots. Are you powering all 8 relays through the 3,3 V of your ESP device (nodeMcu?,Wemos mini ? ).
If yes you might just overload the power regulator (usually switching the relays is fine, but 8 Relays + the Wifi TX burst are too much). You can try a nice capacitor over 3,3V and GND (in order to stabilize voltage for TX bursts) or try to supply the relay with a seperate 3,3V power regulator (just tie GNDs together).

thanks, i think that all reboot was from breadboard so i will do a pcb to try because now its more stable.
the relay board is runing with power from 24vac- 5vdc converter and not by esp12f.(3.3V), have too on pcb for future propose the capacitor field.

and at this moment i have this rules:

i tried what you said and work fine, even with 0s, it stop the first time command. so this are a little modification that can be done on my rules, only with a little problem Current size: 2133 characters (Max 2048)

[quote="maluko"]thanks, i think that all reboot was from breadboard so i will do a pcb to try because now its more stable.
the relay board is runing with power from 24vac- 5vdc converter and not by esp12f.(3.3V), have too on pcb for future propose the capacitor field.

Be careful with the 5V supply to the relay board. I found unstable behaviour when using a nodemcu with a 5V power supply, connecting the Vcc of the Relayboard straigt to a Vin (=5v) --> I dont remeber exactly what happened, i just made mental note that Vcc must be equal to TTL-level (=3,3v), and that I had to rewire a node already in the field

isnt work with 5v, i have a converter to 3.3v only for esp and sensors.
