Hey Team,
i have install pimatic virtual in my Server.
Have somebody Lan Sensors in use or Lan Gateway in use?
I need sensors für temperature und humidity.
Thanks.

you can try espimatic with an esp8266 chip over wlan and use a dht22 sensor for temp and hum

Are you in favor of wireless sensors? If you’re looking for wired sensors, i.e. LAN sensors have a look at pimatic-johnny-five. To build a LAN sensor or gateway you can either use an Arduino with a LAN shield or a second raspberry if you like. On Arduino the Firmata sketch is used. My suggestion is to use the Si7020 temperature/humidity sensor which works very well. An Arduino Nano + LAN shield + Si7020 is available for less than 10 Euros.

You may use pimatic-mqtt module. For sensors on ESP8266 I recommend ESPEasy (supports many more sensor and actuators than ESPimatic) and sensors for LAN can be found on github many possibilities with MQTT (not just for Arduino).
In addition, you can control a lot of other things over mqtt, like Kodi, VLC, WS2812 (neopixel) etc.
For alarms you can use mqttwarn.
Have fun with Pimatic!

Thanks for your answers.
I have install on my esp8266 the ESPEasy Firmware. It sends to mqtt server the message, when i push the switch.
domoticz/in {“idx”:123,“command”:“switchlight”,“switchcmd”:“On”}
domoticz/in {“idx”:123,“command”:“switchlight”,“switchcmd”:“Off”}
But i have some blackout for the pimatic config. Can you help me. Thanks.
Use OpenHUB protocol (de facto generic MQTT in ESPEasy).

It work

Put this parts together. If you see smoke. It was wrong.
For example:
ESP <-> USB-Adapter ; TX <-> RX , RX <-> TX , VCC <-> 3.3V , CH_PD <-> 3.3V , GND <-> GND , GPIO0 <-> GND
Download:
Flash the ESP8266
it’s only for flashing, cut GND von GPIO 0
Connect to the Wlan - ESP_0
Makes the config for your Wlan.
Makes the config for the Sensor.
Makes the config for Mqtt Server
Install mqtt Server (like Mosquitto) on the pimatic Server.
Makes the config for the pimatic-mqtt plugin.
And that it is.
@SOJ thx for sharing your findings

I cannot believe that.
The DHT22 Sensor will not work. In the browser it print "nan"
I have put the DS18b20 at the same port and it work.
Have someboby one idea for me?
Thank SOJ

Yes, as I mentioned earlier use Si7020 or Si7021. As far as I can see these sensors are also supported by ESPeasy. The sensor is cheap and works very well in my setup. On the contrary, I had no luck with DHT22/11. It is probably due to production quality issues in my case as I bought relatively cheap ones.

Can i used only 1 per i2c channel ?
Which Lux Sensor can you recommend ?

You can use multiple devices, you must set up each device on the line another address.

If you used the ESPEasy:

My Temperature Sensor will not work correctly.
The different to other Temperature Sensor 0,6 °C or more.
Have somebody an idea for me. Thank you.
If you look at the specification sheet you see a 0.3-0.4 C accuracy for the Si7021.
It can therefore be that one sensor always gives the temperature - 0.3
C and the other gives temperature + 0.3
. If you want absolute precision you need to calibrate your sensors. In the formulation field of your sensor (in espeasy) you can then use %value%-0.3
for example. I did that as wel for one of my ds18b20 sensors (and I was far too lazy to do it for the others)
@Harry-van-der-Wolf: Thanks for Help
It work
My precision was between +2 or +3.
The precision of -0.3 or +0.3 it is ok for me.
But i have forget to write, that i have put the sensor und esp8266 on a board.
If I put more disance between sensor and the esp8266 with cabel ( 5 cm )
The senor shows the right themperature.
For all Beginners …
I do not know why but it is so
I will have more answers at next time.
If you touch the CPU of your ESP you will feel it gets warm. I do not know how much warmth is dissipated but if the temp sensor is really close to the CPU I can imagine it gets warmer.
But that’s some guessing from my side.
@mwittig: My LAN Shield (NC28J60) will not work. Which LAN Shield do you use?
@SOJ said in Lan Sensors:
Which LAN Shield do you use?
I am using a clone of the Arduino Ethernet Shield which is based on the Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip.
