I was really hoping that I could skip the MQTT server and send HTTP commands to the IP of the EcoPlug. An example would be something like http://192.168.1.22/control?cmd=cmd=GPIO,12,1 that I saw with other projects of this ilk. Anyone able to communicate with it that way? I'd really rather not maintain an MQTT server...TedHTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566414261630908145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690741093260927599.post-80274227323103284732020-05-01T12:02:40.614-04:002020-05-01T12:02:40.614-04:00I'm not familiar with that software, but I fou...I'm not familiar with that software, but I found:<br />https://homieiot.github.io/homie-esp8266/docs/stable/quickstart/getting-started/<br /><br />It sounds like the device will create a temporary local AP called Homie-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

The ground pin was also required. Now, however, I can see the Homie network, but cannot connect to the device in order to enter my wifi details. I've navigated to http://setup.homie-esp8266.marvinroger.fr/ (on a PC, not a Mac because apparently there is a bug with that). When the "Homie for ESP8266" screen comes up, I switched the wifi network to the Homie-123456abcdef network, but it doesn't find my device. Am I doing something incorrectly? Thank you so much. I'm so close to getting this to work...TedHTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566414261630908145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690741093260927599.post-18490827145824905852020-04-30T19:03:38.938-04:002020-04-30T19:03:38.938-04:00@TedHTS:

A...Thanks for your work on re-flashing an EcoPlug. After I bought some WorkChoice WiFI Outlets from Walmart recently, I experienced difficulties with re-programming the currently available ECOPlug version of ESP8266. I had trouble making the wiring connections & with getting an upload to work. The current version is constructed differently from what is previously pictured & seems to enter flash mode somewhat differently. From my experience, successful uploading needs one more connection on the ECOPlug's ESP8266 board. Adding a large capacitor can help. I also worked out a programming jig to avoid the difficult soldering to the board's pads & to avoid cramming wires into a crowded case.
