Really liking the idea of this app! Easier to use than Homeyduino imo.
I’ve tried pairing a device and played around some with it and it works great.
“Unfortunately” I ended up having to use ESPHome (I really don’t like YAML! ) through Home Assistant and then in to Homey because I couldn’t figure out a way to copy raw IR signals and then playing them back with ESPEasy.
If copying raw IR with ESPEasy and using with Homey could be achieved it would be an amazing and cheap alternative to Broadlink!
But in homey i cant find the unit nor the IP adres of the unit… The controller settings are identical and in the ESP unit i can see that the controller has been found
The listing in ESP Easy doesn’t say that it has found Homey, just that the controller is enabled. Did you configure the URL correctly in the controller settings page?
Homey can only see the ESP board when it sends messages to it. If you don’t have a ‘system’ device that sends a message every minute, you need to wait until a device that is connected updates it’s status or just enter the IP information manually.
Hi. I have three temp sensors (DS18B2) connected to ESP and they report to Homey. I get graphs and everything. Every now and then, it seems like homey looses connection to ESP. ESP is still fetching temperature readings, but they are not transfered to Homey. In homey I get read triangles saying “waiting for unit”. Red lines in the image below indicates when the connection is lost. Connection is restored when I manually reboots ESP. Device values are updating even when connection to homey is lost.
Say the ESP has wifi issues.
In this line it says failed connecting to wifi 1129 times!
Wifi is connected but it’s unable to get an IP address (it was in IP initialization).
@Robin_van_Kekem. Thanks for the troubleshootin. But how can the ESP not have IP address when I are able to connect to the ESP with 192.165.50.123 as shown? Or is the connection problem between Homey and router?
Are you sure it’s related to WiFi and not to the controller connection? A quick look at the ESP Easy code suggests the latter (or at least that failure to connect to the controller also increases ConnectFailures).
If you want to debug where it goes wrong, you could try to set up a simple webserver on your network and configure it as a controller in your ESP. You can check those logs to find out if it stops receiving updates. If you go really fancy, you could configure it as a proxy between ESP and Homey.
The creator himself🙂. Yes… I could but i believe that would be over my head. I noticed that if i disabled two out if three sensors. I noticed that homey recieved data for 12h. Not sure if that info is worth anything.
That really sounds like something going wrong on the ESP. Homey marking the complete unit as offline (which it seems to do) happens when it can’t fetch http://<unit ip>/json more then 5 times in a row or fails to parse it.
Can you check if you can reach that url when the ESP goes offline? If so, can you send me a crash report from the app settings page and the json result page?
All working now with the newly flashed ESP. I dont know what was wrong with the other one. If you are still interested @Joolee I will try to get the info you requested from the other ESP.
weel, I was a bit quick with the latest message.
It is not working with the newly flashed ESP. I’ve been following the tracking all day and I noticed one time that ESP lost connection but manage to restore it within some minuts. Now the connection between ESP and Homey is lost (or at least it is not logging to Homey). ESP is however connected to router, but is not accessible through web-page.
