solderfree lolind32 control mode wont turn on

[bsaurusrex]

Hello, I have a lolin d32 with a kasa switch assigned, DS18b20 assigned to chamber temp, tilt assigned to beer temp. For some reason I cant get control mode to turn on. If I set fridge temp or set beer temp, nothing happens.

On the device’s configuration portal, do you see any warnings at the top about missing functionality?

Is the Kasa switch assigned to heat or cool?

[bsaurusrex]

No heat switch/relay is selected - temperature control will be cooling only.

This is the only error.

[thorrak]

Weird. Does the LCD display show both temps (the beer and the 'fridge')? What does it display when you try to set a fridge temp constant that is below the current temp (and therefore should toggle cooling)?

[bsaurusrex]

Yup, I'm setting 0-5c and when I set mode the page just refreshes.

[thorrak]

Ahhh. I'm assuming that if you give it a few seconds to a minute, the "Control Mode" doesn't change from "Off"?

Ive just updated my controller to s2 chips and i could not start them via the web ui, worked fine via fermentrack but i guess thats the serial interface. How do i get the logs out from the device? Any web serial or use the tx/rx pins?

@mp-se It’s almost guaranteed to be an issue with the web UI. If you check the JavaScript log on a desktop you should be able to see the error.

There is nothing in the developer console for javascript so no clues there. When I look in the network history there is only a lot of http get to the /lcd and /all_temp_control endpoints, should there not be a post for the temp control when setting the temperature ?

[thorrak]

There definitely should be. I remember an issue that I thought I fixed regarding that in the UI codebase, but I may not have recompiled that into the released firmware. I’m traveling until Friday, but should be able to diagnose and fix then.

Ok, I flashed the 15c wifi via brewflasher

[bsaurusrex]

Confirmed fermentrack is able to control it without issue.

I tried the v16 branch as well. same issue.

[thorrak]

Yeah -- the v16 branch has a v16 UI that is itself on a separate branch that hasn't yet been compiled/dropped into the v16 repo, so the UI you're seeing is almost certainly the same as the one currently released. If it's a UI bug (which I'm almost certain it is, as I think I caught & fixed it in the v16 UI) then I should be able to fix it, recompile the UI gzip files, and build a new release of the SPIFFS partition for v15. I'll get a release going as soon as we get back home.

[thorrak]

The UI repo is now updated for the v15 UI -- I'll build/test once we're back.

[thorrak]

v15d has been released which should fix this.
