How to use Modem Sleep

Hello, for my weatherstation i want to use Modem Sleep instead of the deep Sleep Mode, because i have a rain gauge connected. For this the GPIOs should be active.
So is there a way to use the ModemSleep mode with ESP Easy?
Thanks

Yes, the forum search engine shows it immediately.

I made P166 specifically for this task.

Great, thanks.
I get this to work!
Now i ran into a differnt issue maybe someone can help as well.
The idea is:
Start ESP
Turn OFF wifi for 15min
Turn ON Wifi for 1 min
Send data over MQTT to Controller
Turn OFF wifi
The wifi turn off and on work great!
I get into a problem with the sending and the Rain Gauge.
So for Sensors like Temperature or Pressure that's not a problem, because they "have" values every time.
The Rain Gauge count the pulses and send it in the sending Interval.
But when the EVENT "Rain messurement" happend during WIFI OFF, the system try to send it to the MQTT, which for sure failed.
After this the count is set back to zero.
So i lose the data when WIFI is OFF
There is no queue or something like this.
I tried set the send interval into the WIFI On time with rules, but i see a timer drifft. Will mean during a long runtime the sensor event will be in the Wifi OFF window and I will still lose data.
So my idea is:
Store the count value into a Variable and send this during the wifi ON / connected time.
But right now I'm not sure how to do this in rules.
Any idea?
Thanks

If this "Rain Gauge" is supplied by a Device/Task named "Rain", you can call it immediately after the wifi connection restored by the "taskrun" command (only has one parameter: task number), and everything is fine.
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3974&hilit=taskrun
If it is not what you need, you can also store the values from Rain Gauge event in a "Dummy" value with "TaskValueSet" command and when the wifi connection restored, you can use "Publish" command to send az MQTT message directy to the broker with the value from Dummy device.

Thanks again,
But I don't get it running.
So here my device config:
https://picload.org/view/dlidlogw/config.png.html
I tried the follwoing rules (testing with BMP280#Temperture):
Code: Select all
On Wifi#Connected do
TaskRun,6
endon
and
On Wifi#Connected do
TaskValueSet 8,1,[BME280#Temperature]
Publish /%sysname%/BME280/Temperature,Test#Dummy
endon
Do you know what's the issue here.
with the Publish command i see an update at my MQTT device in Pimatic but it's always NULL.
I tried also
Code: Select all
Publish /%sysname%/BME280/Temperature,5
This work without any Problem.
So Test#Dummy seems to be not correct
Code: Select all

The and + double use of events are not correct syntax.

Hi
Are there any plans to include the Modem sleep as an option in the ESP Easy firmware?
Using a ESP8266 to get data from my house Energy meter, and I have no power outlet so I have to use a battery powerd setup.

We have it planned but we need to start doing this on a daily basis for major changes to take place. I hope Patreon/Ko-Fi supporters are piling up soon

This works not for me
I compile/upload ESPEasy_mega-20190630 with sketch _P166_WiFiMan.ino. I use Arduino IDE and the tutorial from
https://waschto.eu/espeasy-eigene-oder- ... inden/#top
After uploading, the ESP8266 (nodeMCU V3) is death.
Do you have a step by step tutorial for this?

Nope. I had never tested it with the new 2.5 core, nor the ESPEasy sources from 20190101.
But i can provide a working binary for 4M nodeMCU.

Thx.
But ADS1115 works not with this.
Sure, the ESPEasy sources from 20190101 runs. Not ESPEasy sources from 20180101 ?

Why the direct input modemsleep,1 is "Unknown command!" ?
Maybe you do not added the plugin to the device list.

Ok. Now the modemsleep works.
But is possible to integrate the devices ADS1115, DHT11/12/22 SONOFF2301/7021, BMP085/180 and OpenHAB MQTT controller ?
Current go down to 20mA with modemsleep ^^
I need the devices in screenshot.
Which source i need for compile tests? 01012019?
Edit:
Now i have tested with 20181231. Work not
I think, it's a mistake from me. I'm a beginner with compile.

No chance. I copy the content of lib to libraries, and src renamed to ESPEasy.
I make no modifications.
Compile and upload works.
But the board is not working.
Does anyone have a hint?

You are using the new core >2.5 which i do not use. This is the main difference.
I am still using core 2.4.2 for compile and ESPEasy sources from 2018 december.

Eyyy, it work. But only after first boot.
Now loop the reset.
Edit:
Now it's ok. I had configure the GPIO-0 as Wake GPIO.
1000x thanks you!!

I want to turn on the wifi every 10min for 30s. But if the wind speed is over 5km/h turn on the wifi.
My idea:
On System#Boot do //When the ESP boots, do
timerSet,1,60 //Set Timer 1 for the next event in 60 seconds
endon
On Rules#Timer=1 do //When Timer1 expires, do
modemsleep,1
timerSet,2,600 //Set Timer 2 for the next event in 600 seconds
endon
On Rules#Timer=2 do //When Timer2 expires, do
modemsleep,0
timerSet,1,30 //Set Timer1 for the next event in 30 seconds
endon
On Wind#Wind: do //From I2C (ADS1115) Name: Wind Values: Wind: See screenshot above
if [Wind#Wind:]>5 //When Wind speed over 5km/h, do
modemsleep,0
endif
endon
Maybe you have a more elegant way.
ATM i have one problem with the DHT22.
This sensor is per 1-wire connected to the ESP.
On the ESP the data is correct. But this data comes not to ioBroker (MQTT).The data from the I2C devices works perfect.

There will be support for this in the future, but right now there is a BIG issue with WiFi reconnect.
It will crash quite often with a WD reboot
