esp8266 pulse swits to domoticz

[Dick60]

How can I get it work. A pulse added ti a GPIO in my 8266 and activate a virtual switch in Domoticz. What i did alredy, add a device on 8266 and make it a switch input, normal switch. created a virtual switch in domiticz and add to "on action" the switch hyperlink. Why don't I see something happening in domotics after adding the esp switc to ground?

You have to add a Domoticz controller (MQTT or HTTP), configure it with the proper IP-settings.
Then go to the device page of your switch (in ESPeasy) and add the idx field used in Domoticz for the switch and check the checkbox next to the controller number (preferably nr1 if using MQTT controller) you configured to use with Domoticz.

Is it a normal switch (latching) or is it a momentary (spring back) switch? Have you selected "internal pull up"?

[Dick60]

thanks for the reply. that is all what I did but after giving a pulse to my gpio 0 the log in domoticz continue in giving an "Off" and will not stop. it is a latch switch and in the off setting in Domoticz 1sec is added.. On my ESp I activated the pull up Any Idea

Gpio 0 is not the best choice :

I changed it into gpio 12. Result in Domoticz an continue production of "OFF" logs and does not stop. I know the ESP works goo because there is also a relay connected to the esp and clicking on the button in Domoticz, the relay activates. so from Domoticz to ESP is working but the other way around not. Do I forget something?

Ok...

If you set delay to 0, to disable it.

[Dick60]

Still working on the button. So the situation is, I have an esp, on a switch device a puls is received and that pulse need to be send to Domoticz where it change the status from a domoticz switch. How can I get that working? any help is welcome. At the moment I use GPIO-15 as a normal switch and activate "Send to controller"

[grovkillen]

Is it internally working within ESP Easy? I mean, switch state is alternated when you switch the latching button?

[Dick60]

Yes I see the "value" switching from 0 to 1 after puching the button

[Dick60]

what I found just now, after pushing "submit" on my ESP, I am able to send a change of the switch to domoticz a few times and after 2-3 times changing the status of the switch, it does not work anymore. After "submit "it works again for a few times

On advanced page, set the message delay from 1000 to 100 and test if the same happens.

[Dick60]

I have a working switch, lowering the MS from 1000 ti 100 worked out very well. Thank you for the support and now I try to finish my project. Have a nice evening.

So many people have problems with this. Would it not be a good idea to lower the default msg delay to 100 msec in src, what do you think?

[grovkillen]

Yeah, at least if a switch plugin is enabled...?

Yeah, at least if a switch plugin is enabled...?

What's the advantage of the longer delay?

[grovkillen]

I don't know the details but I think it's to let the loop carry on with no interrupt in the 1 second loop.
