Sending commands to DL24 #51

Closed TheOriginal92 closed 1 year ago

Hey, is it possible to send commands to a DL24? For example reset measurements, start and stop run, set backlight brightness. Would be very cool. BR

It's already supported.

It's already supported.

Can you please lead me the way where i can find the documentation to this function?

If you use mqtt you can control a button if you publish the message "PRESS". The topic depends on the name of your ESPHome node and the name of the button entity:

mosquitto_pub -t 'atorch-usb-meter/button/atorch-usb-meter_reset_energy/command' -m 'PRESS'
mosquitto_pub -t 'atorch-usb-meter/button/atorch-usb-meter_reset_capacity/command' -m 'PRESS'
mosquitto_pub -t 'atorch-usb-meter/button/atorch-usb-meter_reset_runtime/command' -m 'PRESS'
mosquitto_pub -t 'atorch-usb-meter/button/atorch-usb-meter_reset_all/command' -m 'PRESS'

If you use Home Assistant the device / esphome node is equipped with some button entities.

Does this answer your question and do you know how to proceed?
