ESP Easy Pimatic Controller Plugin

---

Running your script since one week now. It works so far. But I found a problem. After the ESP gets powerless -> cold reboot it seems not to work correct. It reboots one time per minute (approx). Pimatic is getting still the values, but not every 10 sec. due to the reboot. It is maybe 2-3 times.
I’m getting it back to proper work by changing to a native “protocol” like “standalone”, run it some time (round about 1 minute) and changing back to “Pimatic RestAPI”.

Do somebody else observed this behavior?

Hi,
want to say that after stopping the permanent adjustments the system works fine with your AddOn.

Did you ask for a permanent implementation? Would be nice to have it there.

this has already been added to the espeasy plugin playground

Ah okay.

hi guys, i have set a switch device in espeasy.

i have a variable $test in pimatic. now i have added a device in espeasy idx 1 value name test. but the pimatic variable does not change from 0 to 1. in espeasy it does when i press/unpress the button. how can i read the state of the gpio in espeasy?

i get error messages with device not found. i have not jet added a device. just the variable.

thanks a lot

EDIT: i got it myself. the id of the dummyswitch in pimatic have to be the same like the value name in optional settings.

does anyone has an idea how to control dummyshutters?

try the gui mode or like that if position of dummyshutter is up/down/stopped then do some stuff

What i exactly mean is when pressing espeasy hardware switch press up button. But i mean this without cteating an extra rule. I mean directly control the dummyshutter with the espeasy hardwareswitch.

something like a shellswitch for shutters
maybe it might be worth considering to create a shellshutter (with optional stop button) for this kind of use or integrate a configurable stop button to the shellswitch
@mwittig @sweetpi - what do you think?

And any news, will it come?

@deejaybeam There is a problem with Espeasy R120. If you remove in your plugin the #if ESP_CORE >= 210 in the updateVariable and setSwitchState authorisation will work with later releases than R108.

Stupidly enough I missed this last post of @jopiek when searching for my problem. It actually has to do with an internal change in/after R114.
See my post as well, which would have been much simpler if I had found this reference before.

@Harry-van-der-Wolf sorry I did not see your problem before but as you found out it is extremely easy to fix. I have R131 running without any issues. Even one sensor with PIR combined with DHT and LDR is running without any problems on a Wemos D1 Mini.

Hey guys,
long time ago we discussed this, but I want to refresh it. I still really like to see the optional stop button for dummy shutter device. Can you please bring it in the next version?

Good news!! The shell execute plugin now supports shutters !! Please update to v0.9.10 to have the new feature installed.

Here’s the code https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-shell-execute/commit/7fc07da1b824a31d87186273e28fcfb0286b7d8e

Hello,
I am new to Pimatic and try to get this to work.
I have a changed the _C009.ino file in arduino and successfully compiled / uploaded to my ESP device. In the ESPeasy (Version 148) web interface I have configured as followes:
– Config Tab
Protocol: Pimatic RestApi
Controller IP: 192.168.0.101 (the IP where Pimatic is running)
Controller Port: 80
Controller User: admin (User and Password from config.json)
Controller Password: alex
– Devices Tab
Device: Analog input
Name: testitem
Delay: 3
IDX/Var: 3
Send Data is checked
Formula: %value%+2
Value Name 1: testitem

In Pimatic (0.9.38) config.json I have created the variable:
{
“name”: “testitem”,
“value”: 99
}

What do I have to do to make this value show up in Pimatic.
In ESPEasy Devices page the value shows as: testitem:9.00
Thanks!
Alex

@alexs create a variables device and use your testitem variable for it.
then you can insert the variables device to any page you want to in pimatic

i have the same problem as alex.

I flashed a esp with the adjusted espeasy software.
I added the info to the config (ip, user, pw), i added a device ds18b20 and gave a name.

In pimatic created a variable with same name, and added a variable-device to display the value on a page.
But it just shows the default value, and not the espeasy value.

How can i check where it goes wrong. Can i somewhere see it sends the variable from espeasy? Can i see if pimatic is receiving same info from it?

thnks Dirk
