How to find the best WIFI signal

Hi, I have the problem that the house is covered by multiple accesspoints. Some go away unexpectedly, some come up slowly. The ESP might connect to a distant one, -80 or less RSSI. That basically just allows to connect and does flaky communication, ping works on and off, usually can't connect with a...

Re: WT32-ETH01

Forgot which version I tried, but the board is now bootlooping even with an ESPHome firmware, which works fine with a pristine WT32-ETH01, so beware!

how to inverse MQTT payload

Trying to make a relay work over MQTT. MQTT import works fine, but would be nice to invert the payload of the MQTT message not to go insane. This works just fine: on mqtt#venti1 do logentry,"venti1 %eventvalue%" pcfgpio,8,%eventvalue% endon I hoped "1-value" would work, but appar...

Re: battery powered sensor

Yeah, I connected an ESP12F directly to 3xAA NiMH batteries. ESP is happy with the ~4.2V input. I have an SHT20, powered on demand with a FET (power pin is set with hardware/defaults) and a DS18b20 always powered it does not seem to consume much idle. Both devices do NOT publish data to the controll...

Re: battery powered sensor

Another interesting question is, taskrun MQTT publish seems to run queued, if I do deepsleep right after taskrun nothing gets published. Does publish also run queued or it waits and the next command is execute only on success? I might do better with disabling report to controller on the device and d...

battery powered sensor

Hi, I'm trying to get the best availability time for my battery powered sensor. I'm good with power usage in deepsleep. Will set static IP to reduce traffic and wake time. What else can I do to reduce wake time (and power usage)? Data submission is done with a rule: "On MQTT#Connected Do //when...

ESP Easy + Home assistant + MQTT auto discovery

Did anyone have success doing auto discovery with Home assistant MQTT with a recent EE?
Can't find much info on the internets.
Have a load of EE units with plenty of sensors, I'd somehow avoid manual configuration.

Custom UI

Hi,

Saw somewhere some custom UI for ESP Easy with tiles and whatnot. Nice buttons per switch on the main page, etc. You need to upload some custom index.html to make it work.

But lost the link and google is somehow not helpful.

Thanks for hints

ESP just blinking

Using a D1 mini, on power up it sometimes just blinks the blue LED for long, starts a lot later.
Then after a while it goes again into this blinking mode and goes unreachable.
Sounds like some panic mode. How to debug/figure what's wrong?

switch not firing events?

Have here a seemingly "normally" configured switch (see pic).
State on the devices page is nicely changing value when flipping the switch, but there are no events fired in the log.
What am I doing wrong?

How to debug DNS lookups?

Something is wrong with my units, they somehow cannot lookup host by DNS.
A 'dig' or 'ping' like command would be nice, but don't find such in the docs.

Re: configuring multiple devices

Yes, that's how I'd handle common settings across more nodes instead of copypasting rows in the sheet.
But if you better like copypaste, you can still do that.

Next might be a script that executes actions across more nodes.
