Start from scratch not working

#1 Post by Sasch600xt » 10 Sep 2018, 16:55

Hello all,

i did research for hours and now i have to post my question(s) in here....

i came from 20180908 ESPEasy Mega and did an upgrade to 20180910 because i need to send HTTP messages back to controller.....

Hardware is an NodeMCU Lolin.
The image i took was "normal,4096"

After upgrade all generic system tasks were not working at all (like uptime for example)
minute uptime counter stays at "0" for example.

When i go back to 20180908 all system infos are working again.

Now i did setup a fresh new NodeMCU Hardware and used 20180910 from the beginning. All works great.

Only my other NodeMCU ist not working.

QUESTION: How can i start from scratch ?
i did press "factory reset" at the web gui.......
i did flash a simple blink sketch...

but always i flash an ESPEasy MEGA version all my settings are still there, like ethernetconnection, tasks, rules...
Where there comming from ? EEPROM ?
So how can i DELETE ALL and bring the devive back to EMPTY ?

Thank you for your help !!!

You may need to use a blank bin file and flash that prior to a new real flash.

Wiki is your friend... the quite friend ;) (PS. if we get to do this full time we will be able to incorporate the wikin within the GUI, you might have read that we want support?)

To your question, the mem size of that board is indeed 4096. And if you're not familiar with the different versions (normal, test, dev) you most likely want to use the normal one :)

ok....i will read :) as always :)

but something isn´t going well at the 20180910 version at all......
At the moment i use smalles possible thing...

Sending uptime task to controller via Domoticz
uptime freezes after i set up the controller 192.168.123.10 port 1024

Can you somehow confirm this ?
it was working well in 20180908 but sendHTTP to Domoticz was not working there...

Thank you

I think it's something wrong with the latest version. It's something with the saving of the settings file.

ok....at the moment i dont save or load a settings file......i start from scratch always.

but i think you mean, the settingfile which will be created and modify always you press the "Submit" button ?

So then i call it a day......i did try to get it to work the whole day :)

i´ll wait untill the bug will be fixed.....

Thank you very much for your support

That's about the same radius from my screen where these bugs may have started ;)

ok....i really dont get it at the moment......

I have done a fresh install and fresh config with 20180914 right now.

I try to just send "uptime" to http Dominicz Controller.

When i enable the controller all Systeminfos are freezed.

Do i something wrong ?

The goal would be to recieve uptime and states of 8 Relays.....this looks like a big journey for me so far.....

I was hoping "Easy" means "Easy" :)

it it helps i would offer an teamviewer session, so developer could see whats going on at my side....

Thank you for your support

I don't know really what's going on with your node. I use MQTT here and have just updated a unit and it seems to work just fine.

Are you sure your server is working as it should, like - do other nodes work fine?

i use IP-Symcon Houseautomation Software on the other side...

With 20180908 everything works fine.
But there is a glitch i can´t send http commands by using rules.

it is the first node and the first connection to IP-Symcon

ok....what about we forget Uptime and controller for a moment......

At the moment i am confused where the problem is.....good chance it is me....

Can someone proof this:

rule:

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
  Monitor GPIO,16
endon


on GPIO#16=1 do
    //SendToHTTP 192.168.123.10,8080,/json.htm?type=param=switchlight&command&idx=1&switchcmd=On
      SendToHTTP 192.168.123.10,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1&switchcmd=On
endon

on GPIO#16=0 do
    //SendToHTTP 192.168.123.10,8080,/json.htm?type=param=switchlight&command&idx=1&switchcmd=Off
      SendToHTTP 192.168.123.10,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1&switchcmd=Off
endon
i do get the message for "On" only once.......never the message "Off" if gpio 16 is low.

Thank you for your support !!!
And i am very sorry if i am the problem and wasting your time :(
