According to the specs of the reed switch that should not happen. Or do i see that wrong? If all things in life happened according to specs, what would be the fun of that? :D So i just figured out that when i add a 1 Ohm resistor in series to the reed. It all works as i wish. But still... Not 100% ...

Ath

I suspect that the power that your Wemos is using is enough to make the reed-switch 'stick' once turned on. You probably need a simple circuit using a relay board to turn your Wemos on and off, where the relay-circuitry (not just a simple relay!) will draw significantly less power than the Wemos. So...

Ath

I thought of an alternative to your rules to extend to 16: (Because of the rather large number of script lines, the 1 second timer delay may be a bit extended, maybe subtract a few percent when using larger numbers like > 100?) NB: Untested code! on LongpulseGPIO do // usage: event,LongpulseGPIO,<gp...

I was going to try an ESP32 with a relayboard, but the optocouplers on mine are all powered with 3.3V, so no easy way to replay your situation.

Ath

Do you have a ESP8266 board available to check if that is able to 'longpulse' the relay? I'm a bit puzzled that your ESP32 isn't able to perform such basic functionality, so I suspect there is some incompatibility with that reley board. It could be related to the 5V supplied to the optocouplers, and...

Ath

Have you tried adding a pull-up resistor (10k should do fine) to that output pin?

What board are you using?

Ath

Is the voltage of the battery enough to get the motor turning? Possibly the voltage drops too low when it tries to turn...

Ath

What is your build environment? ArduinoIDE, VSCode or Atom?

What branch are you trying to compile?

Ath

Oefff, version 120 is over 2 years old, and not very up to date, so that's why you are missing the LongPulse_Ms command. As I suggested earlier, please upgrade to a more current release, there have been many after R120, the latest is always available from here: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEa...

Ath

Well, I just built your scenario, but I'm not sure you have stuff set up right: - My led is on GPIO5, and it is active-low, not active-high as you seem to have (on high the GPIO doesn't deliver much current, though on low it can pull some current) - My switches are set up as Normal Switch, with inte...

Ath

How can I program the switch-on threshold in rules that Realis does not hear heard coming in and going out. Maybe with a timer? I'm don't fully understand what you are asking. Do you want to silence the sound of the relay when it turns on or off? I wouldn't know how to have a relay make less sound ...

Well, that's not a biggie, I can fix that :o I've used a Dummy device so I could monitor it in the Devices page, but we can also use a uservar (let,1,x and [Var#1], there are 16 available) as I've done below: on ServoAction do servo,1,4,180 timerset,8,1 // Extend as needed if the servo doesn't make ...

That WD log line is just the WatchDog that logs some of the current status in INFO log mode, nothing to worry about. Is your servo now moving as expected? If not, lets try some manual commands: (you'd find that on the Tools page, don't copy the quotes I used) entering the command "servo,1,4,180...

Ath

Hmm, this is getting a bit weird. A few questions: What type of servo are you using, because the code I shared is actually tested on a MG995R, that can move from 0 to ~180 degrees. What version of ESPEasy are you running? It should best be a 2020 made release (20200410 seems very stable atm), though...

Many moons ago, I experimented with 'aiming for the light' too, and built me this, now disassembled, tiny rig: IMG_20200503_103330a.jpg IMG_20200503_103417a.jpg IMG_20200503_103426a.jpg IMG_20200503_103512a.jpg (Dismantled it for easier storage) It consists of 3 TSL2561 I2C light sensors (3 only as ...

Ath

Ah, that's a very inconvenient shield, I've used loose components only, so I can connect them to any GPIO.

You could cut the connection to D2, and rewire to another GPIO to avoid this issue, but it will require a bit of soldering handyness

Ath

In the 'on ServoDone do' event the value has to be 9000 to turn off the servo, not 360. That 360 will bring the servo as close to 360 as it can, being 180...

Well, that's quite easy, get an ESP32, ESPEasy allows 32 devices on that hardware

Ath

Have you tried changing the High DPI settings in the Compatibility tab of the shortcut's Properties page?

Ath

You can wait to put it into Flash-mode until it actually is trying to connect, it might be looking for the 'download' message to be sent before it starts to actually flash.

(I'm usually uploading from VSCode after a build, and just bring it into Flash-mode when it starts connecting...)

The DS18B20 Temperature Sensor Module voor Wemos D1 has hard-wiring for GPIO4, pin D2. What makes you think that? I haven't seen this behavior anywhere, except when you connect a sensor to a port already used/configured for something else, of course. Usually a Wemos has enough free ports so you can...

Ath

At first my ESP32's didn't want to flash either following your procedure, as it seems the UART method of bringing them into flash-mode doesn't work. My current procedure is to bring them into flash-mode by holding down the Boot button, shortly pressing the EN button, hold down for a few more seconds...

Ath

Did you add a pull-up resistor (4k7 or 10k work fine here) to the GPIO port?, that does seem to help. The internal pull-up is often too weak (80-100k)

What value have you set for default_envs in your platformio.ini?

NB: I'm assuming you use VSCode with PlatformIO as a build environment, as you didn't mention anything about that... I'm not using, nor interested in, Arduino IDE

Ath

To disable other plugins, just add // in front of the #define USES_... lines for plugins you don't need.

asuz wrote: ↑01 May 2020, 12:05 I cannot make a rule is there any help?

Do you mean you have Rules still disabled (default setting on a cleanly installed device) in Advanced config, or you don't know how to write rules?

Ath

I think it should be added in define_plugin_sets.h, in the section that starts with #ifdef PLUGIN_SET_TESTING, but that's assuming that you have chosen a testing build in your platformio.ini (I'm using this one: default_envs = test_beta_ESP8266_4M1M for ESP8266 and test_ESP32_4M316k for ESP32) It is...

This feels like a quiz :D A NodeMcu V1 board does have quite a couple of available GPIO's, and it looks like it even provides 13, and an ESP32 has even more, and ESPEasy also allows for 32 devices on that chip. Both boards allow for using GPIO extender boards via I2C like the MCP23017, that provide ...

I'm getting quite good results from BME-280 (not to be confused with BMP-280), though it may need some temperature calibration by applying a formula to the value (%value%-6), as in my situation (bought cheap clones from Aliexpress) they return a bit too high temperature values.

how i have to connect the pull-up resistor of 4,7k at every gpio that will used as input? Pull-ups are normally only needed on input ports, and most commonly, as the name suggests, they are connected between VCC (3.3v) and the input. And yes, each port should get its own pull-up.

Low-voltage wiring should be short, mains wiring can be much longer without causing trouble. sorry, not understand this sentence.

Putting all nodemcu's in the central junction box, then adding a (higher powered) PSU there is a proper solution, not much voltage-drop to expect. Also the relays should be in that junction box, switching mains power for lights and blinds-motors. When placing a nodemcu in the garden, just bring norm...

Hi,

For any analysis we need a bit more info:

How have you connected the sensors to the NodeMCU board? (See this ESPEasy github issue for more info)
What ESPEasy plugin are you using?

As 20200328 is less then 1 day old, how long has it been tested on that release?

Ath

@martinus:
Honest question: Why not replace the ESP8266 controllers by ESP32's?
Or is the rest of your IoT hardware too far degraded to be reused for a second time? (Recycling is good, IMHO)

Ath

Ask yourself if the LED is needed for anything (monitoring activity and such), and if it's redundant, remove it by either soldering it off, or cutting it from the circuitboard with a boxcutter... (I usually do that for the ESP01 boards I have)
