Get Sensor Status via Serial

#1 Post by Alan_37 » 30 Apr 2017, 00:11

Hi

I am very new to this , just installed this firmware on my esp8266 configured and connected
to my home wifi network , I have a BME280 sensor connected i can see the values
via HTTP , but i would like to be able to display these values on the serial ( RS232).

what command should i use to display the values ?

Thanks

Thanks Krikk

That works fine , but my arduino is now being a lot busy receiving all that data input
is there a way to display the results only when i need them by sending a command
maybe the values are stored in a variable on the esp is there a way to display that variable
example : print Humidity , or something like that ?

Is EspEasy based on lua like Node Mcu ?

Thanks for your help

Hi

No espeasy is written in arduino ide.
Check out the pro mini extender plugin, it enables you to use an arduino as I/O expander. It uses an I2C connection between esp and arduino. However, why not connect sensor directly to esp and do away the arduino? Maybe if you explain your application a Bit more, we can help you to find the best way with espeasy
