Publishing Environment - 1-Wire Temperature Statistics

[antro31]

Hi all,

First a big thanks for your software that helps me a lot in home automation.
A question I have, in ESPEasy, there is a possibility to have statistics regarding the use of DS18b20 sensors. Things such as Samples Read Success, Samples Read Retry.
Is there any way to publish these data over MQTT? (I would like to have them as attributes of my sensors).
Thanks a lot.

This data is currently not available, other than via the web UI. It can however be made available, after a little coding effort
I'll see if that can be added without adding too much code, as this plugin is included in many builds, and some are really cramped for binary size issues

[antro31]

That would be awesome, thanks.
Even if available only through rules, it would be fine.

That's what I was thinking of, as it's the easiest, and probably most compact, way of adding it.

@antro31 I've added added PR #5051 to the ESPEasy repository to add this functionality. The binaries will be available from this GH Actions run.

Can you test and report your findings here?

Hello, I have tried something like:

Code: Select all

Publish esppool/read,[Pool#sensorstats,1,success]

In the command line, but does not seem to work.
Pool is the name of the task where I have connected my temperature sensor.
I am using build ESP_Easy_mega_20240511_normal_ESP8266_4M1M May 11 2024

What am I doing wrong?

since a comma (,) is an argument separator, you may need to add quotes to the 2nd arument

Code: Select all

Publish esppool/read,"[Pool#sensorstats,1,success]"

No idea if the rest is OK as this doesn't look like ESPEasy syntax.
Do you try to access these kind of stats? https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... statistics

Edit:
Ah nope, saw what Ton did: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/5051
A bit strange to use a comma here, as we don't do that anywhere else. Why not a dot, Ton?

Well, I did that also in other plugins, like P011 and P087, and in AdafruitGFX_Helper (for all supported Display plugins P095, P096, P116, P131, P141), and it works as intended.
But it might have been helpful/useful if that also used the dot as a separator, so maybe I'd switch to the dot and make the other implementations backward compatible.

@antro31
If you just type as a command [Pool#sensorstats,1,success] what do you get, a 0 or an empty value? And what if you replace 'success' with 'address' ?

[antro31]

Hi Ton,

Actually, it does nothing (neither with 'success', nor with 'address')
I tried [Pool#Temperature] and it gives me the right temperature.

[Ath]

Hm, I now see where I made a typo (actually, a copy/paste error)
Will be able to fix that later today, not near my ESPEasy development system ATM.

[Ath]

I was able to fix it sooner than expected, so a GH Actions run is on its way.
Please update and retest.

[antro31]

Well done ! Seems to work OK.

[Ath]

Great, thanks for the feedback
