Guys I had given up on this but after I got my system back up and running after the OH2.5 to OH3 migration I revisited it this morning. And I actually figured out the problem. this guide for me has been very readable and informative: https://www.hivemq.com/mqtt-essentials/ I first watched all 11 vid...

Thanks TD-er and Ath It sounds like this plugin just isn't ready for a user like myself. That's okay because ESPEasy has been working great for me the past few years without it. I'll just set my system up using generic MQTT things in openHAB. I am going to check out that guide also because I'm just ...

Hi TD-er

No problem I understand.
But can you tell me per the docs should I be seeing a message sent
from the ESP showing the nodes or configured devices from the Devices Tab?

I'm really hoping I'm not the only one using this firmware with OpenHAB, the silence isn't very reassuring. :? I'm following the troubleshooting steps found in the Homie MQTT convention page. https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Controller/C014.html?highlight=homie#setup I've setup a syslog serv...

Hi ESP Easy Friends Is anyone using the Controller Homie MQTT convention with Openhab version 2.5 or 3? I recently installed some TP-Link switches in my home and found Openhab picked them up without me telling it to look. After that it took very little additional configuration to get them integrated...

I would also like to set the I2C Interface to None in my Custom.h can that be done by commenting out those lines?

If I'm understanding correctly, if I reset the unit to factory defaults anything that was configured in my initial upload of my Custom.h should be restored?
Is that correct?

Or do I need to do something more to save a Pre-defined config?

I wonder what you mean by the settings not being used... If you refer to those "DEFAULT_..." defines, those are only used when creating a new instance of whatever they refer to. Yes that's what I was meaning. I did a Erase Flash then uploaded it and it did pickup the defaults. Thanks agai...

Got ya. I used the Upload under project tasks but the device still booted back up into AP and didn't have my Wifi settings. After I connect to my Wifi using a tablet it will then connect to my network but doesn't have any of the other settings I configured like NTP and MQTT. Screenshot 2021-04-20 11...

If you want such specific settings, you may want to have a look at the Custom-sample.h and rename it to Custom.h. The build process detects whether this file exists and will use it for "Custom" builds made in PlatformIO. Okay now I feel like I'm getting somewhere. :D Thanks for this infor...

Then you probably have not installed PlatformIO in your VS code. It is under the "extensions" in VS code. Installation of PlatformIO does take a while and needs a restart of VS code. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArqwMcYSMsU Here is my extensions in VS. Screenshot 2021-04-20 0...

I haven't made any changes to pre_custom_esp82xx.py but it's showing I have 4 errors and 4 warnings.
Is that normal?

In the documents it says to open the file pre_extra_script.py if the first Build is successful.
But I can't find any file with that name in the Github source file. Here is what is found with a *.py search.

Do you have Git client installed on your PC? I do now and I believe I did when I received that message. But if I'm honest I did miss that part when I first tried to run PlatformIO. I feel like I should start a new Subject since we are way off topic of I2C and LIDAR. by TD-er » 16 Apr 2021, 15:48 Th...

I wanted to cast my vote even though this post is getting some age on it. I have a mix of TP-Link, ESP12e, and ElectroDragon Relay Boards in my house.

I got it working. I'm not positive what solved the problem but I removed the Arduino IDE from my PC to make sure I wasn't mixing the portable version and my local installed version.

Hey Guys Thanks for all the Info. I am attempting to use PlatformIO but I'm definitely not a programmer (but I'm a PC Analyst that's been playing with Arduino and ESP's for years so I'm not completely out of my element) A few years ago I had used Arduino to create a custom bin but I no longer have a...

Attention anyone that purchased this device

from ElectroDragon should verify the connection of GPIO4 and GPIO5 (labeled as IO4 and IO5) using a continuity tester as the labeling on the board could be wrong.

Thanks TD-er That was a big part of my confusion the header pin GPIO15 I was trying to use would change it's state on boot. I was avoiding using GPIO header 4 and 5 because the mislabeling was confusing me also. Now that I figured out it was simply a swap of the labeling everything is working as I e...

I just figured out the labeling on this relay board is not correct. The Pin labeled as GPIO5 is actually connected to the ESP on GPIO4. The header pin labeled as GPIO5 is actually connected to ESP GPIO4. In simpler terms they are labeled backwards. I'm still confused as to what determines if the def...
