Limited number of devices to choose of

#1 Post by MeAlbert » 25 Dec 2019, 14:25

I installed espeasy mega 20104 on a d1 mini. It works fine but I see e limited number of devices in the pull down menu (15).
I want to use the DHT11 but it is not on the list. How do I add it to the device list. The Wiki is not clear for me.

Good question. I tried to use the arduino IDE first but only errors. Now I used Atom. Downloaded ESPEasy-Mega-2 and chose PIO Build (Custom_ESP8266_4M1M) and after that Reload etc.
Get no errors and everything works but only 15 devices. In my opinion I did not pick a bin file but you did not ask the question without a reason.
How do I know what bin to use and how to pick?

so you built it yourself and did not use the pre-compiled ones from the releases page? https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases

Since you're compiling a custom version you need to add the plugins you want. But it sounds to me that you should go with our release bins instead.

I worked with Raspberry Pi a lot. and that's simple. sudo apt get etc. Have bought me 2 esp8266 for my heat-pump measurements. And that opens a new world for me.
I found some help on internet and ended up with Atom and build etc. I used the zip file in the link you send me. I do not know which file to use then.
I took the "ESPEasy_mega-20191208.zip" file. And it all worked without errors. But some devices missing.
Should I use the other zip file or what to do?

@grovkillen @TD-er
I have the problem solved. Understood that with Atom I was making my own Bin file which was not correct. Due to your questions I understood what to do.
Found the right Bin file and did an update over the air with the right bin file. Now I have a big list of devices and the latest release all working fine.
Thanks for all the help so far
