ESP made easy

[Wirehead]

Anyone know why this is in the BH1750 code?

Code: Select all

val=val+15;

This basically sets the lower limit to 15 lux.. Not really able to find any other examples including this line of code, or why it is done.

Ok now I understand why my Lux values are 15 when it is totally dark

[Wirehead]

Hope the developer can chime in on this.. The datasheet doesn't take note of this. Basically, the sensor has 3 resolutions:

Code: Select all

Measurement Mode Measurement Time. Resolution
H-resolution Mode2 Typ. 120ms. 0.5 lx
H-Resolution Mode Typ. 120ms. 1 lx.
L-Resolution Mode Typ. 16ms. 4 lx. 

An additional note concerning the default H-Resolution mode in the sheet:

Code: Select all

H-Resolution Mode is 1 l x resolution so that it is suitable for darkness ( less than 10 lx )
H-resolution mode2 is also suitable to detect for darkness. 

So less than 10 lux is OK with the default setting. (H-mode 2 has some extra filtering for 50/60Hz noise). So I'm really clueless where this 15 lux comes from

I'd be happy to contribute if it was a Github project

Maybe you've missed it, but you can find it now on github https://github.com/ESP8266nu/ESPEasy
If you check on sourceforge you will find the code part has been removed. You can only download the zipfiles there.

Maybe if you post it on the ESP easy website, they will look into it and maybe fix it. You can check here: http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/search.php? ... ive_topics. A newer version has been released today but is says nothing about the lux sensor in the release notes.

Just read on the esp8266.com website that the ESP Easy webinterface has been refreshed.
I think people will like the cleaner interface over the old one

Hi
Anybody have tutorial how send data to LCD(ESP easy)? I would be grateful.

Hi, for the ESP made easy software do I really need a Arduino or is it also possible to run/compile the software on a Raspberry PI?

No why? When you have an esp 07 12 or something else you must wire that to an ftdi /usb and flash the chip. then connect your sensors and configure then in the easy web interface.
works veryvery easy! I have a nodemcu.(plug and play) but the esp07 without an breakout is not so easy to wire becaue it's very small

Hello,

i am actually trying to get an EASYPESP Sensor working with DHT22.

It is reading th temp but the temp and humidity is never apearing in Domoticz.

Once i have seen in the log : 2015-10-24 09:56:06.365 Incoming connection from: 192.168.1.200

How can i troubleshoot ?

best regards

[rtenklooster]

Did you create the proper dummy device in domoticz?
Temp+hum?
Are the temp en hum listed in the devices page of the esp module?

[kimi1983]

Hello,

yes the dummy has been created, it got the ID 26.

Temp & Humidity are listed in the device Window of the esp.

What else can i check ? best regards

Hi guys,

I finally got it to work: Read P1 port of a smart meter (ISKRA ME382) and then read the values with an ESP8266 (Huzzah) via Serial to Wifi --> Domoticz (P1 Lan interface).. It's something i've been fiddeling for months till now. My Domoticz setup runs on an old laptop at the first floor and I yet don't have cat5 from there to my electrical cabinet. So I really wanted the connection to be wireless.

I have tried several software releases of serial to wifi bridges on the ESP8266/NodeMCU, but could't get it to work because of the 'stop bits' setting. For my smart meter I need 9600 7N1. Remark: the signal has to be inverted with a transistor BC547 or some other circuit. There's lots of info on the internet about this.

Now there is a (not yet official, I believe) build "R043". You can find it on : https://github.com/ESP8266nu/ESPEasy . You can upload it with Arduino 1.6.5 IDE to your ESP8266. This software gives you the opportunity to put the serial signal to wifi among some other GREAT options.

ESP8266 with EspEasy software just rocks!!



hope its the right forum, just wanted to share....

Using Serial, you can connect your RFLink to

Look at Hardware and add : RFlink Gateway with Lan

i dont find it easy at all... (okey.. compared to mysensors.org)... but i am not giving up yet

Good to know, thanks for sharing! I'm sure it will come in handy for me one day if i need to convert RS232 to WiFi.
Although i prefer Ethernet if possible (i use this one which works great).

Using a nodemcue as borad this réal easy to use.

Ex plane please....
Hard to get ..... for a dombo like me...
