[Homeyduino] E-paper for Homey

Devices
367

The trigger appears after the first execution. It’s in the Homeyduino app settings and I can’t change it.
But you can write its name (even if it’s not in the list) and it will be executed the next time it is sent.

Have you a touch screen?

Edit: Found the error!
On your setting card you set: Deep_SleepTime= it must be Deep_Sleep_Time=
(It an error on my screenshot)

Edit2:
I have not read to the end of your post…

Try to define all param:

Language=EN; Deep_Sleep_Time=5; Click_Mark_Enable=false; Wake_Up_With_Touch_Screen=false; Display_With_Touch_Screen=false; Time_Before_Sleep=0;
368

I tried your parameters but these are also not working. Still got the same screen.

When I use Deep_SleepTime= the screens refreshes and the system is rebooting.
When I use Deep_Sleep_Time= nothing is happening and after a few moments the flow gives an Network request failure error

I have the same problem :frowning: I think the problem is that u are sending “to much” data at the same time. I also ran into the problem with the old version.

If i send only the Language=NL; i got no connection problems but offcourse the screen say i don’t have a touchscreen.

I’m trying new install with erase all my flash…

I did it, erase all flash, try AsyncElegantOTA method, connect to wifi and send this card first and its work for me.

you can see debug with arduino IDE. (connected with USB)
On tool → Serial monitor and select baud rate to 115200
restart your screen.

IP adress is not change by your DHCP?
Homey e-paper is it in deepsleep when you send it?

371

Guides are updated.

372

I also erased the flash manualy.
Installed AsyncElegantOTA as described in the manual.
Configured my WiFi settings.
After that I run the settings card and monitored the console output.

After that I ran the other card with this result in the console:

Screen Layout received: Z1=D, Z2=S, Z3=D, Z4=s, Z5=D, Z6=S, Z7=D, Z8=S

Number of expected devices: 5

Still the screen isn’t updating.
Now it shows the screen that it is succesfully connected.

373

You defined Z1=D, Z2=S, Z3=D, Z4=S, Z5=D, Z6=S, Z7=D, Z8=S
Code does not wait some values for Z2, Z4, Z6 and Z8 but you must send an action card for Header, Zone_1, Zone_3, Zone_5 and Zone_7.

In Serial, Homey e-paper received values for header and Zone 1, not for the other.

375

Thx.

I got a bit further now.

It’s updating my screen when I manually trigger the card “Alle triggers”. (All triggers)
And get this respond in the serial monitor:

Updating display…

Click mark drawed

Go to Deep sleep for (minutes): 5

But after 5 minutes it wakeup and there is no refresh triggered to update the cards.
The serial monitor shows then:

Replace All trigger by Homey e-paper trigger.

377

That also doesn’t work.

Still the same with the flow below.
After wakeup I see a reconnect to WiFi in the serial monitor and the next lines are only Date Now lines.

Homey_e_paper not Homey_e-paper for the trigger’s name

381

Thanks for your patient btw.

But it’s still not updating.
Changed it to Homey_e_paper and still no updates.

Btw this trigger is not clearly described in the manual.

382

Yes, the guides need an update, sorry.

Try to install the version is actually on github. I think you get this one that has a space in the trigger name (it was “Homey e-paper”). I updated it but I think you have time to download it before the new one.

Maybe I should have done a v2.0.1

383

Okay that makes sense.

I just downloaded the main branch as in the screenshot, because the Releases seems to be the old one as it is 2 days old.

After installing this version it is working! :smiley:
Without changing anything to my initial flow.

Thank you :+1:

Is it possible to use the euro sign (€) in the text?
I noticed when using € it is not shown in the zone.

And is it still possible to use the weather icons as it was in version 1?

How do I disable deep sleep? From the Guide.pdf I assumed this would disable it:

But in the Serial Monitor I still see this:

======== START DATA READ  ========= 
SSID: 
PASSWORD: 
clickMarkEnable = 0
touchScreenWakeUp = 0
timeDeepSleep = 1
deepSleepEnable = 1
fromApMode = 0
minVolt = 3.00
maxVolt = 4.20
Language = NL
timeBeforeSleep = 0
========  END DATA READ  =========

And then it displays the “Rebooting [====]” text. What am I doing wrong?

387

You can not disable deepsleep without touch screen.
And set Display_With_Touch_Screen= not Display_With_touch_Screen=

EDIT:
I understand what you want. Do you want to keep the screen on all the time? And update it manually or by flow? (Probably because you leave it plugged in)
I forgot this option in the code.
