Reading (output) GPIO state within rules

[jgrad]

Hi,

what is preferred way (if exists) to read state of output GPIO within rules and GPIO is not defined within Taks/Devices? Is there a way to make such

I have relays on GPIO 15 and GPIO4 and i want to make following if clause (below example doesn't work):

if [GPIO#15]=1 and [GPIO#4]=1
GPIO,15,0
GPIO,4,0
endif

See the "monitor" command: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... ore-events
N.B. this does require a recent build.

I use Monitor function on input GPIOs in order to get event when state is changed (button pressed).

I am asking for solution to get state of output GPIO which is used for controlling relay. Since I dont want to get events when changed I am asking for solution like in example in documentation

Code: Select all

if [Plugin#GPIO#Pinstate#13]=0
   // do something
 endif
 

but for this I have to define every output as task/device.

Is Monitor command also useful for monitoring output GPIOs without using events which are generated on change? How many system resources does Monitor command consume?

if YES I assume that after enabling Monitor on output GPIO (eg. GPIO15) I will be able to
if [GPIO#15]=1
// do something
endif

Hi
I´m only beginner at this topic but according my understanding the monitoring function is always enabled for Gpios.

I use the monitor function for additional GPIOs of a PCF8574 IO-Extender and here you have to enable it by rule. But not for GPIOs and therefore your last example can be used directly.

Best regards

P.S.: If I´m wrong regarding enabled monitoring for GPIOs... I use it for 6pcs PCF8574 IOs and have not recognized any load or memory impact.
Only as example how I use it. I like to get an update by Mqtt after reboot about the status of the output and an update in case of a change.
I haven´t had enough free devices to do this by internal input/switch.

Yes, monitor command operates also on output pins.
