Re: Problem with ESP32 Flashing

Hi, I too am playing with some esp32 modules lately, and would like to load ESPeasy, but am put off by lack of current info and general documentation on the subject. Meanwhile I have been taking MicroPython around the block on one of my esp32's. MicroPython is obviously capable but not as convenient...

Hi, I have a couple of esp8266's in service, running espeasy (one is version R120 and the other is version mega-20180809) where from time to time the DS18b20 connected to it will apparently become unresponsive, leaving espeasy reporting the same temperature indefinitely, regardless of how ambient be...

Data change trigger?

Hi,

Is it possible to set up a device so as that it only reports to the mqtt broker, when it's state changes?

Thanks.

Hi, I am playing with an ESP12 module and an OLED SSD1306. It all seems to work except that when I edit a line in the 1306 task and submit I, more often that not, get a branch into tall grass and the need for a hard reset to make the new text appear on the display.

DST R120 ?c

None of my R120 ESP's seemed to have changed their time for the DST transition overnight.

In version R120, is it intended that I manually toggle the ADVANCED/DST check box when the DST time change occurs?

Otherwise, is there a default DST time change date that I need to wait for?

Thanks,

Re: ebay sonoff devices?

Thanks for the suggestion Dave but I doubt I'd be any more successful flashing Tasmoda onto these devices as the flash process it self seems to be broken.

I think at least one of them is headed for the bin out back.

Threshold for analog input signal on ProMiniExtender?

Hi,

Is there a way, in ESPeasy, that I can setup a 'rule' to establish a threshold for an analog input signal sensed by the ProMiniExtender?

I'd like to take action, when the PME analog signal goes above say 1/3 of full scale.

Some pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
