@Ath Please take a look at the code below. I want to make the backlight on and off intermittently, 1s period, when a switch change state. Seems a little too long ,for such a small job. Is there a better way,shorter,simpler? looptimer? on switch#state=1 do timerSet,3,1 let,3,=!%v3% // flip state if %...

bonti69

Settings.TaskDeviceTimer is an unsigned long, so it is a 32 bit value. We could extend the max allowed value, or use the unused bits for extra flags. Maybe we could add some flags like "no interval" or maybe other options. Switch plugin accept interval '0' value, aka non refresh..."n...

bonti69

It is not possible to change task settings, like you want to change, from the rules. That could be a feature request, so you could create one in the ESPEasy issue-tracker in Github if you like. Feature request: Interval : from 1 to 65535. "O" is not allowed ,meaning never. Or accept more ...

bonti69

Maybe a bit "out of the box", but would it also help your use case to enable/disable the task? Then you can turn on the LCD task in a rule, acting on a GPIO event (in the rules) and set a timer to disable the task. I have already 3 task with LCD2004: lcdtemp with temperatures,humid,pressu...

Improvement LCD2004 backlight Add a small resistor 560 ohm to 1kohm between K (cathode of LED backlight) and ground. The backlight will lit softly, enough to see display ,indoor. When lcdcmd,on is applied, the full brightness is enabled,internal transistor will short the added resistor. Risk-free.....

bonti69

Yes,Ath Starting from one blank LCD task, nothing on lines,no timeout,no interval set... YOU can do what you want,almost anything,almost everything ;) I started from lcdtemp, a valid task, with interval & timeout, and send some warning text via rule...I solved the problem with two tasks, I know ...

bonti69

Is there any command to disable parameter "interval" of LCD2004 plugin? Or modifying via some rule? Because does not accept value 0.Only more than 1.And maximum around 65235. "0" will be non-refreshing data on display. Load once the Lines with text and stays forever... Question 2...

bonti69

Yes, I know, that's the reason for using synology as intermediary smtp relay...just everything goes to "error connecting...".I think nothing reach to synology smtp server,unfortunately does not have any debug log available . Maybe plugin needs some overhaul? Smtp2go seems to be hungry :lol...

Thanks
Yes, %lcltime% is what I wanted, but needs a full row on LCD, so I stay on %systime%

bonti69

@bonti69: I don't think Ath meant to say with "it is all software so everything is possible" that you need to change it yourself. It was probably meant as an encouragement to let your imagination go wild :) (or at least don't hold back on your imagination, thinking it might not be possibl...

In the "on system#boot do" event the initial text "System time %systime%" is displayed, and in the "on rules#timer=4 do" only the time is overwritten with the current time I copied both events here so you can easily find them. on rules#timer=4 do // Called often so pla...

Dear Ath ESPEasy,or Tasmota does not fill my life entirely.Let's say low-level hardware is my playground,somehow,my youth ,my formation are on that field.Unfortunatelly, my job did't alow me to perform neither on software,neither on hardware, so let's say esp is a kind of hobby.

Thank you, TD-er I'm hardware orientated, so it's somehow difficult for me to understand. For my point of view, input and outputs are totally different things.The behaviour of a certain pin should be well defined at boot.If it's an input ,then CPU will monitor the logicall level of that pin, the int...

Thank you,Ath
Much appreciate...
Genuine teacher.I love how you give explanations on every line of code.That means sharing the knowledge.

Today I tried to assign a GPIO as a switch. My intention was to be an output switch.Defined a new task, gpio15 as "switch", "normal switch". After that tried the toggle command via http. Response: "Failed" in browser. In log we have: 58221346: HTTP: GPIOtoggle,15 582213...

The only way is UP I agree with you, commander in chief.I have to, because my limited knowledge in programming. But, in that case, a gifted programmer can rebuild a new LCD2004 plugin, the existing one,less demanding,remains as is and the new,enhanced one, LCD frames, like OLED 1306 has... frame lcd...

One last word: Hardware attachment of an LCD2004 I2C to a ESP8266 board LCD 2004 requires 5V voltage supply. The i2c chip will work also at 5V . My LCD I2C board has also pullup resistors to Vcc, so the i2c lines will be pulled up to 5v also. Now , the ESP chip works at 3.3v,including the two gpio a...

I won't be adding a paging feature to the LCD plugin any time soon. (Your suggestion is at least not not backward compatible) We could try to find a way to update regularly from the rules (it is certainly doable), I'll try to work on that later. Why would not be back compatible? Just add some "...

Unfortunately, I'm a beginner and my way is to squeeze out what the plugins can offer at the present time.More versatile the plugin is,more and various applicat...

bonti69

You should be able to that using rules. In pseudo-code: every second: count up by 1 if count = 5 flip a state if state = 1 display 1st set of data else display 2nd set of data endif reset count endif display time on line 4 Sounds interesting with display 1st set of data and display 2nd set of data ....
