NodeMCU LED LAMP

WebThings
#1

Hi Guy’s,

I’m trying to get the example sketch for the biltin led on a nodemcu.

The thing is detacted, but I can’t control the led.

What am I missing?

I’d be grateful for your advice.

Hi Guys,

I managed to get an On Off led working, then I’ve tried to add to that to get a dimmable version.
I’m getting into a right pickle with this;

#include <Arduino.h>
#include "Thing.h"
#include "WebThingAdapter.h"
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

// TODO: Hardcode your wifi credentials here (and keep it private)
const char *ssid = "*****";
const char *password = "*****";

#if defined(LED_BUILTIN)
const int lampPin = LED_BUILTIN;
#else
const int lampPin = 16; // manually configure LED pin
#endif

WebThingAdapter *adapter;

const char *lampTypes[] = {"OnOffSwitch", "Light", "Level", nullptr};

//const int lampPin = LED_BUILTIN;

ThingDevice lamp("lamp", "My Lamp", "lampLevel", nullptr);
ThingProperty lampOn("on", "Whether the lamp is turned on", BOOLEAN);
ThingProperty lampLevel("level", "The level of light from 0-100", NUMBER);

void setup() {
  pinMode(lampPin, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(lampPin, HIGH);
  analogWriteRange(255);

  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.println("");

  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("Connected to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

  lamp.addProperty(&lampOn);
  lamp.addProperty(&lampLevel);
  adapter.addDevice(&lamp);
  adapter.begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");
}

void loop() {
  adapter.update();
  if (lampOn.getValue().boolean) {
    int level = map(lampLevel.getValue().number, 0, 100, 255, 0);
    analogWrite(lampPin, level);
  } else {
    analogWrite(lampPin, 255);
  }

Hi Guy’s,

Here I’ve tried the example sketch again from the Arduino webthing-arduino-LEDLamp. Changed the led pin to 16 on the nodemcu and input my ssid and password.
Why does this not work?

Hi Guy’s,

I’ve also purchased some Wemos D1’s and still no success.
Can anyone offer some help please?

Hi All,

I’m yet a bigger fool.

I hadn’t used a pwm pin, but still the same problem.

The led is always on, no off or brightness control.

I don’t think I can progress any further without some help with this.

Has anyone ever tried this sketch and does it work?

D.

I think you should divide your code into small pieces to debug what’s going bad.
For example, I wrote a simple on-off webthing button to see if the builtin LED is turning on and off when I pressed the button. For me this code is working well:

bool lastOn = true;


// Hostname used by mDNS
const String mDNSHostname = "onoff_sensor_thing";
WebThingAdapter* adapter;
const char* sensorTypes[] = {"OnOffSwitch", nullptr};
ThingDevice sensor("onoffswitch", "lamp", sensorTypes);
ThingProperty sensoron("on", "", BOOLEAN, "OnOffProperty");


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  setup_WiFi(); //this is a connecting to WiFi procedure
  adapter = new WebThingAdapter(mDNSHostname, WiFi.localIP());
  sensor.addProperty(&sensoron);
  adapter->addDevice(&sensor);
  adapter->begin();
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  ThingPropertyValue tpVal;
  bool on = sensoron.getValue().boolean;
  if (on) {
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  }

  if (lastOn != on) {
    lastOn = on;
  }
  adapter->update();
}

Try it and see if it works. After that we can go further.
