Let's Control It

chromo23

My friend has just a pump in his cellar and only wants to know if it is running or not. Hey Olaf, for that purpose i flashed several Gosund SP1. I wrote rules for them and used "easyfetch" as a dashboard. They now monitor if a Pump is running and detect if the pump is running dry and turn...

Disable I2C by setting the GPIOs to "none".
After that you can choose the missing GPIOs

Sorry, but other than that i can not help you. Even without the controller enabled the units should appear in each others list if i am not mistaken. Did you try other unit numbers like 1 and 2 (not that this should make any difference). Did you have some routers in between (eg. mesh network)? Edit: ...

Didi you enable on both devices the p2p controller?

I got confused by that too

chromo23

Is there a possibility to let a led connectet to a PCA9685 blink with out using "TimerSet"?
The Pulse command ist almost the right direction but there is no repeat option. Is it non-blocking anyhow?

Edit: Similar to "LongPulse_mS"

Also here i post what i wrote on github: Did some testing. Yeah it is confusing but in a way it makes sense. The longpress event is triggered only if the button type and the longpress event type are matching. eg. button type: Push Button Active High & Longpress event = Active on High -> works bu...

chromo23

I made an mistake (its all a bit confusing).. I didn´t set the switch type to "push button active low" :o You are right.. this seems to be bug indeed. It does create a longpress event when longpress event is set to "active on low". (every time you release the button there will be...

chromo23

Testet it with your settings... everything works as expected With the settings in the screenshot your button input gets low when releasing it. Since "Longpress event" is set to "active low" it will trigger a longpress event (10) because it stays low after releasing the button. us...

chromo23

Since you still have problems with the longpress i´ll write you here instead of github.

Can you post a screenshot of your switch plugin?

chromo23

Ubbs.. forgot the most important part in the code.. just updated it

chromo23

Even if i don't know you exact configuration. Try this: Set the "Longpress event:" to "Active only on LOW" and use this code: On button#state Do If %eventvalue1% = 1 Let,1,0 Elseif %eventvalue1% = 0 And [var#23] = 0 LogEntry,'short-press' //Put your code for short-press-event in ...

I had i typo in my last rules... there was a "." after the zero 0. Thats why it probably did not work. I should explain the code better: On System#Boot Do TimerSet,1,5 //after boot set a timer of 5 seconds to let everything initialize properly so that the analog input device has enough tim...

chromo23

Third option and maybe the best one... - create a dummy device (and connect this instead of the analog device to the controller) - reduce the intervall of niveau_puit to lets say 60 seconds and send the data of the analog input device to the dummy device via rules...see example. demo code: On System...

Hi, Only, if the power supply to the ESP Easy card is cut off, when restarting Domoticz receives a zero value for the water level and this disrupts the log!

Switch the device you also control with the pushbutton not the pushbutton itself....

Edit: your complete ruleset would be helpful for better understanding and helping

chromo23

I don´t know what you want to archive but if you want to kind of reset the value you could do so by storing the gpio state in a dummy device. After the timer has finished you can set the value of the dummy device to zero. And if you use TaskValueSetAndRun an event is created to switch something if y...

This module seems to have a transistor rather than a optocoupler if you look closely... @bledad could you post a picture of your setup? The plain relay-module seems to demand ~65 mA of current at 5V to switch the relay, but the ESP can only deliver max. ~20 mA for a high/1 output, so that won't work...

How did you tune the PID values? Trial and error... you have to find the right values for you. Therefore it is highly recommended to plot the temperature curve somehow.

Hello chromo23 ! From what immediately catches your eye, it is that your reworking of the code has the wrong direction to the side.
