MCP Status without device

[Micha_he]

I use a MCP23017 via I2C, without configured devices. The internal command's like 'MCPGPIO,4,1' works. But when i use the command 'Status,MCP,4' or 'Status,M,4' I get a state of '0'.

Code: Select all

{
"log": "",
"plugin": 9,
"pin": 4,
"mode": "input",
"state": 0
}

Is this command don't work without a device is setup ?

You initiate monitor at/after boot ?

Monitor,MCP,<MCPGPIO>

I am also not sure this command works correctly ... but the project i used the mcp23017 for is already deployed and i only have remote access to the software...so i can do no proper testing.

Edit: but there also seems to be a discrepancy in the mode... it seems that you use the the mcp23017 as an output but the log states the gpio as an input.. did you also set the mode?

[Micha_he]

Yes, the mode is set to output at start.

@iron: Yes, I set the monitor at start and the monitor works, event is generated.

The "status" command is (also) an ESPEasy core command and doesn't need a device/task to be set up, only connected (but that shouldn't be a problem ), as it directly reads the status via the I2C bus.
