Are you still using the ESP Easy environment? I had a look at it and it looks to good to be true. Does ik link easily to SignalK in OP2? If so, can you give me some pointers on how to create the link? best, Bart RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - abarrow - 2020-01-06 If you are looking for an easily configurable SignalK library for ESP8266, SigKSens is a good choice. Here's an article about it: http://signalk.org/2019/08/04/sensesp-sensors.html RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - BartStevens - 2020-01-06 (2020-01-06, 03:33 PM)abarrow Wrote: If you are looking for an easily configurable SignalK library for ESP8266, SigKSens is a good choice. Here's an article about it: Yeah, looked at it. Is nice, but (as a Newby) still a bit complex. The ESP Easy is simple drop down stuff. The only think I can not solve test is how to pull data from ESP into MQTT on Raspi. And now also into SignalK in OP2 ... ? RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - abarrow - 2020-01-06 I'd have to look at it more closely, but I suspect your solution might be to use Node-Red. I've only got a test OP2 server running right now, and Node-Red doesn't seem to be implemented there, but I have used it with MQTT on OP1.2 RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - BartStevens - 2020-01-06 (2020-01-06, 04:55 PM)abarrow Wrote: I'd have to look at it more closely, but I suspect your solution might be to use Node-Red.

I'm slowly going over to micropython for esp32's, but from memory used node red to convert mqtt sent by espeasy to signalk data. Mqtt is all text so needs a little code to change text into numbers for signalk. RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - abarrow - 2020-01-07 Just found out that Node-Red is actually in OP2, it's just something that has to be installed as part of the OpenPlotter Dashboards app. RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - PaddyB - 2020-01-07 (2020-01-07, 02:00 PM)abarrow Wrote: Just found out that Node-Red is actually in OP2, it's just something that has to be installed as part of the OpenPlotter Dashboards app. There's a node-red app in signalk now, been using it for a while - seems rock solid stable. Maybe some sort of online file storage (or maybe github?) would be good to share things like node-red flows for common useful things node-red can do for you?

Bart Seen this? https://sites.google.com/site/olewsaa/yacht-server-with-raspberry/temperature-monitoring Bart Paddy, (do not forget I'm newbie) What is the direction of the data stream "Sensor -> SignalK -> MQTT -> NodeRed -> dashboard"? If so, how do I go from SignalK -> MQTT? Bart RE: Esp8266 - esp easy - abarrow - 2020-01-07 You can probably eliminate MQTT and NodeRed by using the Generic UDP option on ESPEasy. It would need some testing, but I think you could probably just create a template that is a properly formatted SignalK JSON message, insert the variables (temperature, for example) and have your SignalK server listen on that UDP port. |
