[ESPimatic]ESPimatic : ESP8266 modular sensor for Pimatic [v0.1.26]

---

thx, works good and my esp is still intact

i use now a relay board with 4 devices, can i add
some push buttons to the esp-board to control this
relays also with the button?

press button 1 -> Relay 1 ON
press button 1 -> Relay 1 OFF

?

Nope, pushbuttons are not implemented yet. You can controll the realy throught the API (see wiki)

@noxx https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1257/wifi-switch-to-integrate-in-wall/33. I tested, but only pir > GPIO. ESPEasy also has a push button.

having the matrix here, but no soldered any pins on it now. will be my next project
i was thinking also of some other use for the lcd display and espimatic too.
would it be possible to send messages to the lcd from pimatic?
so you could have a simple status screen with some configurable input.
this would be awesome

Hi, I think this library can do the scrolling text on the matrix, but I don’t know how to implement this:
https://github.com/hermann-kurz/MAX7219LedMatrix

So it will be a very nice status display of chosen pimatic values, I will donate it with a

Hey,
ESPimatic is in combination with Pimatic a great Projekt!
I bought this LED Matrix. The Problem is that the nummbers 90° rotaded.

Is it easy to edit the code to rotate it?

Blockquotevoid CharOnLED(int ch, int led)
{
if ((ch == ’ ') || (ch == ‘+’)) int FromAlph = 10;
if (ch == ‘:’) int FromAlph = 11;
if (ch == ‘-’) int FromAlph = 12;
if (ch == ‘.’) int FromAlph = 13;
if ((ch == ‘(’)) int FromAlph = 14; //replace by 'ñ’
if ((ch >= ‘0’) && (ch <= ‘9’)) int FromAlph = (ch - ‘0’);
if ((ch >= ‘A’) && (ch <= ‘Z’)) int FromAlph = (ch - ‘A’ + 15);
if ((ch >= ‘a’) && (ch <= ‘z’)) int FromAlph = (ch - ‘a’ + 15);
Blockquote for (int i = 0 ; i <= 7; i += 1)
{
lc.setRow(led, i, alphabetBitmap[ch][i]);
}
}

I think it would be cool to switch the Matrix between “in” an “out” temperature.

having a similar problem https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1505/led-matrix-upside-down

what you can try to do is change the line 2538 of the actual 0.1.26 ino as follows

lc.setColumn(led, i, alphabetBitmap[ch][i]);

that rotated the lcd matrix 90° for me (but was useless at all since i had it rotated 180°)

@leader21 OK thanks

Is there a repo to download 0.1.27?

no update available yet.
@koffienl is still working on v0.2

Yeah sorry …
Have been to busy with several other things, and couldn’t get myself together to start with ESP again.
It’s no abandoned, just been busy and lost a little focus, that’s all

With regard to your struggle with 0.2: Are you sure it is not hardware related as you only seem to have this issue yourself. Is it not a difference in the ESP-12 versus the ESP-12E chip and a not supported command?

oh yeah! cannot wait for v0.2 ^^ hope you will solve the issues soon!

what´s the reason for the limitation of only one DS18B20?
i would like to use more than one…

also im interested in a “button” device…

There was no need for more than one in my initial project :D
What button device are you looking for ?

@koffienl : Will the feature come that makes it possible to connect at least two sensors of the same kind, especially DS18B20? Really waiting for this feature.

Very nice project. And working just fine.
Only there are some small things missing for me, the examples for Pimatic.
I have added multiple devices but none is working. and there are to many different issues and examples. And that gives me a blur.
So what i need to know is what to add in my devices to get DHT sensor dallas temp sensor to work. The relay device might come in handy, but i can figure that out hopefully

this project is nearly dead. no update since early 2016

well, it works and does what it originally was built for.
but yes, we all wait for an update

maybe it will never come but hope always dies last

To busy at the moment with lots of other projects. Someday I will pick it up. But as leader21 says : it works and does what it originally was built for.
And if someone wants to add sensors they can always do … the code is free to grab from github
