Hi Jean-Emille!

I managed to compile (there was some error about RFM69 library not having the promiscuous mode defined but I downloaded v1.4.0 of the library and it worked. I think v1.4.2 doesn't have anymore the promiscuous mode). The ESP8266 successfully connects to my WiFi network but I get: "404: File Not Found" error when accessing ESP8266's IP address into the browser.

Hi kylix34 ,

I fixed the compilation issue of RF69 (thanks). The web interface is not hosted in the ESP8266 firmware compared to the official version. Indeed, in my version, I'm using a websocket server to expose the thermostat services and the web interface is available in this directory: https://github.com/Jean-Emile/ESP8266_Thermostat/blob/master/html

In particular the thermostat.html file is important, the other ones are not finished. You can upload these files on a web server. NOTE: the esp8266 have to hosted in the same network (see https://github.com/Jean-Emile/ESP8266_Thermostat/blob/master/html/wifi.js#L2)

NOTE: this is still a unstable version even if this is deployed in my home since almost 2 years.

Best regards,

[kylix34]

Thanks for the updates!!!

Hello again, Jean-Emile!
I installed XAMPP on my laptop and:

1. I had to change this line (in wifi.js) var wb_url = 'ws://esp8266.local:81/' into var wb_url = 'ws://192.168.1.16:81/'. Otherwise, the thermostat webpage was not receiving data from the ESP8266.
2. The sliders block still doesn't show in the webpage. In the console I see a few errors like this:
   thermostat.js:324 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 's' of undefined at update (thermostat.js:324) at WebSocket.connection.onmessage (thermostat.js:91)
   I had to uncomment the block 57-65 in thermostat.js but setting the temperature/interval doesn't get saved
3. The timezone is not saved after changing it inside thermostat webpage

I understand it's still a work in progress project ;)

Hi,

(1)=> Great.

(2) => By default, the thermostat firmware did not have any schedule. I did not yet add the files in the src/data folder.
One solution could be to use the unit tests for boostraping the thermostat:
https://github.com/Jean-Emile/ESP8266_Thermostat/blob/master/test/test_remote/init_thermostat.py

Before to execute the script, you have install the dependency
pip install -r requirements.txt
https://github.com/Jean-Emile/ESP8266_Thermostat/blob/master/test/test_remote/requirements.txt

(3) => this is not implemented yet :( but you can change the config.json file and pio run -t uploadfs

Hi Jean-Emile! Any update on the source code?
