ESPEasy P2P Networking - sendTo - Help needed

[Riewekooche]

Dear friends,

at my ESP12f (Unit1) i messure the temperature with a DHT22.
The value is found at device task-1 DHTo#T1.

Now I need this value at my second ESP12f (Unit2) in the DummyDevice-task-4 (TaskValueSet 4,1,x)

First i activated the ESPEasy P2P in the Controller-menu at both ESPs. Then i inserted a rule at the sender:
on DHTo#T1 do
sendTo 1,"TaskValueSet 4,1,([DHTo#T1])"
endon

In the log, the rule is executed, but i don't know how to get the sended values at the unit2.
What should i do?

Kind regards
Thomas

You can simply share a plugin/task directly to another node.
See for instructions here: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... #c013-page

The sendto command is using the same p2p protocol as mentioned in that link.
Make sure the unit numbers are unique in your setup an all nodes participating use the same UDP port number (preferrably use port 8266)

N.B. you should not use () in the command.
The "sendto" command requires the unit number of the receiving node, so in your setup it should be something like this:

Code: Select all

on DHTo#T1 do
  sendTo,2,"TaskValueSet 4,1,[DHTo#T1]"
endon

Assuming you have given the units their own (unique) unit ID. Do not use unit ID 0 or 255.

On the receiving node you must have a dummy task at task-index 4.

Hi TD-er,

i'd activated the P2P Network at both sides and used a wrong TaskValueSet (4 instead of 5).

Now it works

Thanks

Good to hear it is now working

Have fun!

That was one of the reasons that support for taskname and taskvaluename was introduced for the TaskValue* group of commands
So you could have used:

Code: Select all

  sendTo,2,"TaskValueSet DHTremote,Temp,[DHTo#T1]"

assuming you named your dummy task "DHTremote" and used the value name "Temp"
