Hi,
i stumbled upon this post: https://www.instructables.com/Load-Sharing-Use-Solar-Panel-Safely-With-TP4056/ do we have a prolem here?

Even with a new sensor - SI1145 - I get the same results, so it is either the sensor I'm using is somehow incompatible, or something on the software is not right

Hello James,

I am struggling with the software to get it working using Blink 2.0(new) .

Trying to get it connected with Blink 2.0, but it refused to connect with the new Blink 2.0.
Think this is because of the new Blink 2.0 ?

I am looking forward for your reaction.
Kind regards Wim

Are you planning tro introduce Json format payload for MQTT messages as described her https://arduinojson.org/v6/how-to/use-arduinojson-with-pubsubclient/ ?

I can't manage to create a functioning flow. I don't understand MQTT Publish. How is the topic structured?

Hi,

can you explain me how do you calculate the wind direction?

Kind regards Johannes

I'm trying to integrate the weather station sensor data into homeassistant via MQTT ( after enabling MQTT on secrets file)
Using mqtt explorer I can see updates every 5 minutes, or so
However, I cannot see anything if I susbscibe to any of the topics
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe the station is sending the messages in an "stange" way?
Thanks

Hey There,

I am not sure if you have/had encountered this issue before so I thought I'd ask before diving into it.
My Rainfall 24hr counter seems to reset every hour or two and I have also noticed things like my boot count, time enabled pretty much all "time stored metrics" are resetting to 0.

The only changes I have made is waking up every 60s as I have a decent battery and lots of sun.

Any Ideas?

Hello,
i am currently thinking about possible benefits for shortening the sending interval if the battery is at 100% - what do you think?

USB power: Unit runs fine. It WAKES at desired interval and updates sensor data to MQTT.
Battery power: Unit WAKES at desired interval, but does not communicate sensor data over network

Hello, I have adapted the original code and expanded it with MQTT. I removed Blynk and Thingspeak, I don't need that. I use a bigger solar panel https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00XHREE50/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with a converter https://www.amazon.de/12V-24V-auf-Abw%C3%A4rtswandler-AC-DC-Abw%C3%A4rtsstromversorgungsmodul/dp/B07TVNMHQQ/ref=pd_b2b_qd_subs_6/262-8168895-0964553?pd_rd_w=SlpIJ&pf_rd_p=0a01ce9b-e0eb-4d44-83ff-4da6cd0d0d84&pf_rd_r=N1FRTER64CF9DAM6BRCS&pd_rd_r=55d530ac-031e-4281-b2f0-aaffb047b925&pd_rd_wg=JOknz&pd_rd_i=B07TVNMHQQ&psc=1 . Power supply has been extended to 2 batteries (parallel connection). The sketch works, but I have big problems with deep sleep. In your sketch I don't understand the "secrets.h", can you explain that for a beginner?

Hi,

the wind sensor seems to work like expected and gives me some values, but we had the last couple of days a storm here.
The maximum what the sensor measured was about 18 km/h. That really can't be true (Tree's have fallen ;) )
If I got it correct the wind sensor is connected to D14. D14 is configured with an interrupt to count the turns.

What could be the reason for this?

thanks,

Hello!

 //Average samples
  if (msTotal > 0 && samples > 0)
  {
    windSpeed = 1.49 * 1000 / (msTotal / samples);
  }

Can you explain the expression: 1.49 * 1000 / (msTotal / samples) ?

#ifdef METRIC
  windSpeed =  windSpeed * 1.60934;
#endif
  MonPrintf("WindSpeed: %f\n", windSpeed);
  windSpeed = int((windSpeed + .05) * 10) / 10;

and also: int((windSpeed + .05) * 10) / 10;

Thanks!
