Arduino device (esp8266) Add events to PushButton #132

Open rarno opened 3 years ago

rarno commented 3 years ago

Hello, please excuse my bad English. I also need help with "PressedEvent". Unfortunately, in the examples "Update LEDLamp example to use actions & events. (# 101)" I cannot find any instructions on "Events". I cannot correctly adapt the "Event" "Overheated" in the example "LEDLamp" to a "pressedEvent". I'm trying a "flip-flop implementation" like in "# 694". Do you have an example for me to learn more?

Since you're using an ESP8266, you might want to try the MicroBlocks WebThings library -- easier to use than the Arduino library and the pressed events work fine. There are examples in the MicroBlocks IDE that work "right out of the box", including a pushbutton example. See: http://microblocks.fun/ and http://microblocks.fun/iot.html

If you need any help, I'm on the chat channel and forum too.

Thank you for your message. I have prepared various settings such as network address etc. and its running. I also have other sensors and actuators in the same device (ESP). That's why I want to keep using the Arduino IDE

Why can you not adapt the LEDLamp example?

My knowledge is not enough. Pushed button is pressed, "Pressed Event" comes, information appears on the monitor, an LED can be switched on with it. The next time I press the button, nothing happens. A new event message only comes after I log out and log in again. What I am doing wrong?
