    Love how you edit your videos down so they are really tight but still have all the information you need. I can't stand the TH-camrs who ramble on for ages and all you want is one piece of information buried in the waffle somewhere!

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thank you!!!
      That's exactly why I do it this way. I figure you want to get through it fast and decide if the stuff you need is there. If it is, you can rewind, pause, rewatch and get what you came for.
      Thanks for that feed back! I'll keep doing it!

    Crazy thing happened today. A couple hours after this video posted I was happily replying to every comment, like I always do, when for some crazy reason TH-cam stopped accepting my comments. I looked in the creator forums and best I can determine I exceeded some max for commenting in a period of time!
    What kinda craziness is that! I wouldn’t have guess there’d be a limit to how much I can comment on my own videos!
    Anyway, sorry I didn’t reply to everyone who commented as quickly as I usually do. I’ll go back and catch up on the comments I missed during my TH-cam time-out.
    Thanks for your support!

    Great video, thanks. Regarding the PIR switch, there is just one thing you forgot to mention, which could have saved me some time debugging: you need to do "SwitchMode2 1" in Tasmota console. Otherwise automation won't work since it sends "TOGGLE" signal by default, instead of "ON/OFF".

    I have realized from watching your videos if you are going to build an item for a single sensor its cheaper to use a sonoff with a cheap extension cord from the dollar store.
    Definately going to use a sonoff to turn on my power supply for my led lights and then control them from the sonoff.
    Great videos. thanks for you help.

    • @DrZzs

    Great Video DrZzs. I have learnt a great deal from your Videos and forums. I have just setup my first D1 Mini with DHT11 as the Temp and Humidity Sensor. I have it connected to MQTT and the Console is Reading the Temp and Humidity no problem
    The problem is getting HA to read the Results of Temp and Humidity. They both show up in States as "unknown"
    sensor.humidity unknown unit_of_measurement: %
    friendly_name: Humidity
    sensor.temperature unknown unit_of_measurement: °C
    friendly_name: Temperature
    The Console shows it is reading fine
    09:00:34 MQT: tele/sonoff/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-05-17T09:00:34","DHT11":{"Temperature":13.0,"Humidity":50.0},"TempUnit":"C"}
    09:02:00 MQT: tele/sonoff/UPTIME = {"Time":"2019-05-17T09:02:00","Uptime":"0T00:26:40"}
    What is the Project Name? as per your video, as I think this could be the problem
    Any idea to help me link to HA?
    Thanks in Advance :)

    • @DrZzs

    • @brucerawiri7170
      @brucerawiri7170 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi DrZzs. I have resolved this issue. I had a naming convention that worked however I changed naming (MQTT Topic) for all devices and now they are all working just fine, including the D1 Mini with Temp and Humidity. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it greatly. Hope to watch one of your Streams soon :)

  • @willross6468
    @willross6468 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks! Been trying to get PIR sensors hardwired to my Pi's GPIO pins going. When I setup the automation in HA, it would turn the lights on when motion detected but then also turn them back off when motion was detected again no matter what I did. Your example is perfect, the "turn the lights off after X" should be another automation that is triggered by the first automation, not one automation with a delay built in like I was doing it. Excellent as always, will be trying this when I get home today... Thanks!

    • @DrZzs

    I close on a new house in early April. I already have a few sonoff basics controlling lights, and a low voltage sonoff controlling my garage door in the house we are leaving. Once we get into the new house, my home automation will be kicked into overdrive! I don't know if anyone has requested yet, but can you do a video using sonoff/Tasmota as an infrared remote control for Tv/surround sound? I look forward to your videos on Mondays. Keep up the good work!

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks!
      Actually that sensor kit does have an IR transmitter and receiver!
      I peeked briefly at the tasmota settings to make it work. I'll put it on the list and get to it eventually. In the mean time, if you want to try it before I get to it, here's the Tasmota Console commands:
      github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands#irremote
      I don't know much (yet) about exactly how to setup IR, but I'm sure those commands are the key.

  • @anthonycalia1317
    @anthonycalia1317 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice Job, thanks. The reason you need to install the driver is because the various ESP8266 modules have different USB to TTL chips onboard. Common ones are 230X. FTDI, and CH340 each of which requires a driver. Once you install them all, it will largely be transparent from that point forward. Likely though, you will see a different comm port for each. Also, the PIR IS actually a motion sensor. If it were not, any infrared source would trigger the output. The PIR relies on a differential measurement between two sensors and that funky segmented lens to break up the light pattern. When an infrared source is stationary, it remains constant between the two differential receivers, when something is moving, the difference is what triggers the output. i probably did not explain that well, but there are a number of videos out there that do a good job including Bigclive who devoted a video to using PIRs.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome! Thanks!
      I'll take that NodeMCU question off the things I don't know list now!
      And thanks for the knowledge on the PIR. I was thinking of it kinda like a line-break sensor, and that's not really what it is at all. I'll have to check out Bigclive's video.

    DrZzs - It would be really cool to see a D1 Mini replace a old security system. Basically how to confiure the D1 to be the 8 zones a old panel would have. Most houses built in the last 20 years have contact sensors on the doors and windows. One D1 could interface them all to smarthings... for about $5.. really cool

    For anyone else who comes here and struggles because this info is out of date, I have the following advice. 1) Use Tasmotizer to send the latest tasmota-sensor.bin file 2) use Tasmotizer "Send Config" button to send WiFi info. You can then connect and setup the module-info or use the same Send Config button to setup MQQT etc.

    I am using a D1 mini to monitor temp, hum, bar and dew point. It operates from a battery and I need to monitor the analog pin to check the battery charge point. I use Tasmota to set up the chip and see where the analog pin is and have it assigned. My question is how do I get MQTT to see that analog pin and read it?
    I also need to add the deep sleep mode, on a 1-minute cycle? Thank you in advance.

    Awesome video!
    I have 2 temperature sensors connected to nodemcu running Tasmota. I get the following MQTT output from it :
    03:59:42 MQT: tele/TempBasement1/SENSOR = {"Time":"2018-10-31T03:59:42","AM2301-14":{"Temperature":62.4,"Humidity":72.7},"AM2301-15":{"Temperature":65.5,"Humidity":56.1},"TempUnit":"F"}
    but when I create a sensor in HA to read in value_template:
    “{{ value.json.AM2301-14.Temperature }}”
    it doesn’t show up. When I only have 1 sensor connected and MQTT output is
    {"Time":"2018-10-31T03:59:42","AM2301":{"Temperature":62.4,"Humidity":72.7},"TempUnit":"F"}
    and I use
    “{{ value.json.AM2301.Temperature }}”
    then it does work just as in your tutorial. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's something with tasmota that limits how many sensors of certain types can be connected at the same time. I don't remember the details now but, the details are here:
      github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Expanding-Sonoffs
      and here:
      github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Sensor-Configuration

    • @godelrt
      @godelrt 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the links! I didn’t know it was limited. What’s kinda funny is that Tasmota does output two sensor values on the sensor topic. One is called AM..-12 and the other AM..-14 (seems like the -## is based on the GPIO pin#) but when I use these parameters in HA they don’t get read by HA and my sensors just show blank dash on the dashboard. I figured if I just used the AM..## that the MQTT payload has it would be fine. But when I have one sensor and there is no “-12” or “-14” then it works just like in your tutorial where I just use json.AM2301.Temp... I must be doing something wrong and not reading the MQTT payload correctly or it’s limited to just one sensor output per MQTT message. Thanks again for replying - love your tutorials!

    Hi at first sorry about my English. :) I am little bit confused because, when i go back to your video $5 Sonoff + $2 parts = Best Smart Switch EVER! in this project you were using resistor and 33nf tantalum capacitor to proper function of touch button. It this current video you mention and show sonoff basic with humidity sensor (DHT11) and touch button is connect to bat without capacitor an resistor. My question is, this another way ho to connect touch button to sonoff without resistor a capacitor ? Thanks for all what you do. Have a nice day Mirek.

    Yo Doc. I know this is old, but did you hook up the HC-SR501 directly to the Sonoff? I see in your video of the Sonoff hookup and the 5v but isn't that 3.3v? In another video, one person went through all kinds of steps to get the 5v. Is it really possible to drive it off the Sonoff? If you set the jumper to no repeat and timer to ~5 minutes, this would make a great walkway lighting combination. Please let me know. - Thanks

      I have connected PIR sensor directly to a sonoff and it works great. I used this PIR though (not the 501) - drzzs.com/BruhPIR
      Can't honestly remember if I connected it to 5v or 3v. I think it was the 3v pin from the flashing pins that I used.
      Hope that helps. Definitely you should use that PIR from the link instead of the Big'ol 501. I had a lot of trouble with the 501 triggering randomly when it's too close to the ESP8266 chip.
      Good luck!

    Hi,
    Perhaps you may be interested in this configuration.
    When the motion sensor is activated, a rule delays its deactivation during the set time (in my case, 30 seconds) to see it active in HA.
    The second rule invalidates the publication that turns off the connected led strip.

    SwitchMode2 1
    SwitchTopic2 PIR
    SwitchTopic 0
    Rule1 on switch2#state=1 do backlog publish cmnd/PIR/POWER2 ON; RuleTimer1 30 endon on Rules#Timer=1 do publish cmnd/PIR/POWER2 OFF endon

When I turn on one of them, the other goes off. For example: if I turn on the relay 1 while the number 3 is on, the latter goes out as soon as the relay 1 goes ON.

    is there a way to setup a relay like the switch like the sonoff. i have a few spare esp01.. but i dont want to power the switch and have cables to the relay. i just want to have power going to the relay like the sonoff.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can connect a relay to the esp01 and the relay will be separated from the power to the D1mini. Is that what you mean?
      If you really want to make it like a sonoff where you put 120v to it and then you switch that same 120v circuit, I guess you could do that, but it would be a lot more work and probably cost more than just buying a sonoff. Besides the Esp01 and the Relay you'll also need a 120v to 5v power converter. The PS is almost the price of a Sonoff Basic:
      www.banggood.com/HLK-PM01-AC-DC-220V-To-5V-Mini-Power-Supply-Module-Intelligent-Household-Switch-Power-Supply-Module-p-1242358.html?p=@K220219381694201802
      That's the appeal of the Sonoff. You can't buy the parts and build it yourself for less $.
      If you still want to do it you'll have to use the 120v to power the PS. You'll tap into the Hot line and send it to the Common pole of the relay, then a wire from the NO pole to the lights or whatever you want to switch. The neutral will also go to the PS, but then also continue on to the lights you're switching. Then with ps you can power the esp01. The ESP01 might need 3.3v instead of 5v so you'd need either a 120v to 3.3v ps or another buck converter to drop the voltage from 5v to 3.3v. The relay will need a supply of 5v in addition to the ground and the control wire from whichever pin you use from the ESP chip.
      Hope that helps.
      Good luck.

    your video show you connect the data line of the temperature sensor to pin D4 but on the Tasmota Configuration screen you choose the "D2 GPI04". Confuse which one is it?

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I must have changed my mind at some point. I don't think it makes much difference where you put the sensor. Some of the pins have specific functions and you'll get errors if you try to use them, but it won't damage anything. If you connect something to a pin and it doesn't work, just change it to a different pin and try again.
      And there is only one choice for the Temp DHT sensors. Choose the AM2301.

      What version of Home Assistant are you running? I know they've had that color wheel there for a long time, so I doubt having an older version is the issue, but it could be.
      It only shows up when the lights are on though. Silly, but I guess make sure they're on then click the bulb and it should be there.

      I’d start by looking at the way node red handles payloads with multiple values. That’s what got me hung up with Home Assistant. So I can’t say more specifically what might be happening since I don’t know Node Red much at all.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've only every used HA on a pi3. I haven't had any problems, but I don't think I'm asking it to work very hard.
      I know a lot of people use different hardware. Some real high-end users use a NUC. amzn.to/2DQx6uh
      That seems a little extreme to me, but they swear it's the best. I guess if money wasn't a factor I'd do something like that too.
      If you do change hardware you'll have to use some other installation besides hassio.
      home-assistant.io/docs/installation/
      That introduces a lot more potential issues and things you'll have to figure out how to get working. Hassio's add-on system makes things so easy. If you're a "computer guy" then using a different install method might not be an issue.
      They just came out with a new pi3b+. Should be a little more powerful. Don't know if the current hassio image is 100% compatible with it yet.
      That's my opinion for what it's worth :)

    Hey Dr Zzzzz, great video - I'd love you to add another video to your suite.... hassio on main system, and a second raspi with the usb stick. Have the second raspberry not have hassio on it, but raspbian (or other unix), and just the usb stick for something like zigbee and/or z-wave (or both). Then connect it to the main hassio system through mqtt. That is what I want to do, as I have a network connected from my office to main house (separate buildings, same lan) with devices in both. Thoughts? Could you do this?

    Hi there your videos have got me hooked to Tasmota and Sonoff!
    Can I use the D1 mini and Tasmota to switch on and off 2 contacts ? Say I would want to use it to send a momentary on off pulse to an appliance switch ?

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      you sure can.
      I'm working on a project using a D1 with relays. One issue I've found so far is that the voltage output on the D1 GPIO pins is only 3.3v. That might not be enough to trigger the relay. I've got mine traveling some distance between the D1 and the relay, so the voltage drops even more. I bought a logic level shifter to boost the voltage of the signal to 5v, which should be enough. They just arrived so I haven't tried it yet.
      I'd say try it without the level shifter and hopefully it'll work if you aren't losing voltage over distance like I am. If you find the relay isn't triggering with the 3.3v try one of these:

      You can not power the d1mini from 12v. It will die.
      So if you have 12v lights you'll need a source of 5v for the D1mini. That can be a buck converter to change the 12v to 5v, or a separate 5v ps. The grounds need to be connected.

      Go to the Console in Tasmota, then click the second switch. You should see a couple lines pop up on the console. the one that starts with "stat" will be the "topic" for the state of that switch. It will probably be something like:
      "stat/sonoff/POWER2"

    Hey DrZzs,
    huge compliment on this and your other videos. I enjoy them very much and learnt a lot from them already.
    But now, I am afraid, I am stuck trying to use my WS2812 with Tasmota on a Wemos d1 mini.
    After I flashed the d1 mini, I set the module to Generic and set the corresponding pin to “07 WS2812”.
    After a reboot I got the on off button and the slider but unfortunately I am not able to control the LEDs.
    As soon as the d1 mini powers up all LEDs turn on on full bright white and I am not able to change it.
    I checked the connections, replaced wires, used another d1 mini, used a different LED strip with only 2 LEDs, powered the LEDs with an external power supply (connecting grounds), re-flashed it… no success.
    I am running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.

  • @EugenePugach
    @EugenePugach 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm having a tough time figuring out the answer to what I'm trying to do (similar to the video). I have a momentary push button switch and a PIR sensor attached to two different sensors as switches. Even though one is switch1 and other is switch2, they send the same mqtt topic (because "SwitchMode" changes it for all switched) and they both ending up switching the same Sonoff Basic relay. Any workaround for this?

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think for Switch2 to not switch Relay1 you have to set some other pin as Relay2. I'm not 100% sure about that, but someone else had a similar issue recently and I think that was how he solved it.
      Let me know if it works or not.

    • @EugenePugach
      @EugenePugach 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, setting a matching Relay2 on one of the GPIO's doesn't toggle the main relay anymore! Thanks!
      The only caveat is that switching on Relay2 (or any relay) still toggles the onboard led. That's a problem for me because I planned to attach the led on the pushbutton to the GPIO13 pin on led and any of the GND. This would give me the inverse light on pushbutton so that when the light is off, the button is lit (and it also provides all blinking indications if something is wrong on sonoff). Now, with the Relay2 turning on the led, it turns off the button led. So right when someone comes close to want to turn on the light, it makes it invisible in the dark.
      New idea (using your suggestion) is to connect the pushbutton to Switch2 and the pushbutton led to Relay2. The effect is very cool because now the led only turns on for a few seconds when someone gets close to the light switch. The only downside is that I will not be able to see flickering lights on pushbutton if there is a network issue or something else wrong with the sonoff.

    • @DrZzs
      @DrZzs  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Eugene Pugach for sure! There are commands that change what the onboard LED does

    • @EugenePugach
      @EugenePugach 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best I got was to use SwitchMode2 2 so that onboard led is always on and the pushbutton is only on when PIR is triggered >> community.home-assistant.io/t/light-switch-with-led-push-button-and-a-pir-sensor-on-sonoff-basic/57669

    D6 GPIO12 Relay1 - Relay 01

      absolutely. When you configure the wifi setup in Tasmota, just use the wifi SSID and PW of just your andriod hot-spot and don't put the one for your home wifi.
      You can put 2 SSID's in to Tasmota so if it can't connect to one it will connect to the other. Just in case you want it to be able to connect to both sometimes.

After between 12 hours and about a week at best some of the dht22 stop sending. If I unplug just the power to the sensor and plug it back it in it instantly works again. I've searched and have seen this to be an issue for years but I can't find a solution. The second issue is when it does stop sending HA still shows the last temp it was at until I restart HA then it's a "-" Do you know what kind of code I would have to add to the .yaml file to make it default to something like 99 if it doesn't get a signal for x number of seconds?
