@TD-er Thank you - I appreciate the additional comments above.

Of course - I should have remembered, It's actually more logical to use GPIO15 as a pulldown, especially at Hardware Boot because there is no high pulse.
PWM works nicely with GPIO15 as well.
GPIO16 can be set as pull-down in your Hardware Menu. I find it a good visual reminder.

@TD-er Thanks so much for your reply The output (to a voltmeter) works as expected. It's perfect. I'll read up on looptimers, I'm sure I will have plenty of applications for it. I have noted your comment about system variables. Also PWM works with ESP8266 / GPIO16 output. This is the only GPIO that ...

Hello I've been trying to make a PWM output based on seconds counting 0-59 gradually increasing the PWM output as the seconds count increases. In rules, I tried (for example) On %syssec% do if [%syssec%]=10 PWM,16,100 elseif [%syssec%]=30 PWM,15,512 endif endon So far I cannot make it dance - gpio16...

Thanks - Understood. I have edited the Rule accordingly. Anyway a day later and it is working beautifully. FYI - I added task enable MQTT to a timer assigned to do a few other things. MQTT still did not load. I created a second timer a few seconds earlier to enable MQTT import and it solved the prob...

Thanks again. It was my fault: When I moved the MQTT to the bottom of my plugin list task nr 1 became task nr 12. Damn, I forgot to change the task nr to match. Now works and I have edited using the disable/enable rules. Either combination now works beautifully. @TD-er I used a single slash "/&...

Thanks so much for the fast reply. I am manually rebooting to test the software (whether I choose to reboot in the tools menu, or just unplug replug) So to test, I just reloaded fresh firmware (erase firmware first). I added ONLY the MQTT import and tested with a single topic, which was fine - the s...

I have this problem as well, with my custom build of the most recent ESP8266 4M1M release (mega-20221224). (Reason - I needed Neopixel, CO2, MAX7219 8 digit, DS18B20, MQTT import, and HT16K33 display on the same firmware) So long as I do not reboot, the MQTT import works fine. But after reboot, the ...

Hello good people of the forum. I have an ESP 32 running the experimental FW. I'm really just using switches and relays, so it's perfect for my purposes. But I'd like to assign a GPIO boot state to the numbers higher than that offered on the 8266. For instance, id like the option to pull GPIO 25 hig...
