Rotary Dimmer

Running Domotics 4.9700

Wemos D1 firmware v2.0.0-dev12 test image with rotary
with Rotary KY-040 encoder connected to D3 GPIO(0) and D2 GPIO(2)
Ip 192.168.178.110 and at the device tab the rotary switch.

Hi All.
I like to controle my dimmer via a rotary switch KY-040 encoder.
Dimmer is working via the slider via a dummy dimmer via lua script.
So in short terms how can i controle a dimmer via a rotary encoder connected to a Wemos ESP8266.

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
DomDevice = 'Dimmer-Veranda-110';
IP = '192.168.178.110';
PIN = "16";
if devicechanged[DomDevice] then
   if(devicechanged[DomDevice]=='Off') then
     print ("OFF dimm = "..uservariables['dimm']);
     CalcValue = 800;
   else if(devicechanged[DomDevice]=='On') then
        DomValue = uservariables['dimm'];
        print ("ON dimm = "..uservariables['dimm']);
        CalcValue = DomValue;
      else
         print("Other");
         DomValue = otherdevices_svalues[DomDevice];
         CalcValue = 900-(DomValue*9);
         commandArray['Variable:dimm'] = tostring(CalcValue);
         print ("dimm Level = "..uservariables['dimm']);
   end
   end
   runcommand = "curl 'http://" .. IP .. "/control?cmd=PWM,"  ..PIN.. "," .. CalcValue .. "'";
   os.execute(runcommand);
print("PWM calculated value= "..CalcValue);
end
return commandArray

Can any one help how to proceed, i have tried this for weeks now with out any results.


I have seen some articles :

Image of wemos esp8266 where you can see that the rotary encoder is counting up and down.

how MQTT is involved in this?

rotary can send via mqtt 2 different payload domoticz already formatted to be stored in a variable...
then you can have a dzVents script to handle the variable change:

let's suppose the dimmer publish on /domoticz/in a payload like:

Dim Up

Code: Select all

{
   "command": "setuservariable",
   "idx": 1,
   "value": "+"
}

Dim Down

Code: Select all

{
   "command": "setuservariable",
   "idx": 1,
   "value": "-"
}

on dzVents you could a script like:

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		variables = { 'myVarIDX1' },
	},

	execute = function(dz, myVar)
	    local dimmer = dz.devices('myDimmerDevice')
	    local dimLevel = dimmer.level
	    local dimStep = 5       -- absolute value to step up or down the dimmer
	    
        if myVar.value == "+" then 
            newDimLevel = dimLevel + dimstep 
            if newDimLevel > 100 then newDimLevel = 100 end 
        elseif myVar.value == "-" then 
            newDimLevel = dimLevel - dimstep 
            if newDimLevel < 0 then newDimLevel = 0 end 
        end 
        dimmer.dimTo(newDimLevel)
        if newDimLevel == 0 then dimmer.switchOff().checkFirst() 
           else 
              dimmer.switchOn().checkFirst() 
       end
}

the script will be activated bu variable chage (it reflects the mqtt telegram)
if it gets a "+ " then it increate the dim value, in "-"... well... it does exactely what it is supposed to do

then I added a level check... assuming 0 and 100 are min and max values....
and more...
if you get 0... then switch off the dimmer device

hope you enjoy it
ciao

Hi Emme.
Thank you for responding for some more pieces of this puzzel
I appreciate your help !!!!!

As i understand is that the ESP8266 is send mqtt message from the rotary swithch to mqtt
But How do i get / see these update in variable "dimmer" i have created in Domoticz.

Dimmer-1 and Rotary are on the same ESP8266
GPIO POrts: Dimmer on GPI0 16 and the rotary on GPIO,0 and 2

Json output: dimer is changing when i turn the rotary.
