Re: Sending Email directly with Task

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. It seems from the wiki that it should be fairly straight forward to use rules to check for temperature value and send notification if outside limits. However, I cannot see from the documentation, or results from Google search, whether or how I can set variables to use...

Sending Email directly with Task

Does the ESP Easy support a simple stand alone control function where I can set up a device with a simple Task that reads a temperature probe every couple of minutes and sends an email if above a certain value and then sends another email when temp back in normal range. I only need 1 node and not us...

Re: Plug-in for MAX31865 RTD or MAX31856 Thermocouple IC?

The Analog input cannot be used on its own for PT100 reading. You would also require an excitation current and algorithm for linearisation. The MAX3185 provides the appropriate interface to the PT100 and allows reading the temperature via SPI. In the end my node needed to do some other stuff so I di...

Minimal plug-in setup

Hi,
I just want the setup forms and a single device -> DS1820

I don't need all the other plugins.

What are the files I must keep in the project folder. Do I just need the main project file, all the controller files and the ds1820 plugin?

Thanks

Stephen,

I see people referring to a blank bin file to revive a locked up device.

Where do you get this file ? Or do how do you produce it?

Obtaining BIN file from Arduino IDE?

I want to compile the ESPEASY source to a bin file from Arduino IDE.

The menu item states "Export Compiled Binary". But after using this function I note only HEX format files created in the project folder and no BIN format files?
