Hello everyone, this is my firts post here but I’ve read a lot while configuring lots of devices in HA. Sorry for my bad english.
I’m trying to use some Sonoff DUALR3 powering motor-blinds with mechanical endstops.
Following some guides on the web (GPIO pinout, BL0939 integration, switch input integration, lambda controls for testing with on-board button and interlock function) I managed to make it work, but with some questions about how it does:
To have the sensor reading fast enough to detect endstops i have to set it to 500ms.
This is causing 4 entries per seconds on the logs which doesn’t sound really efficient.
I see that also wiki example (Current Based Cover - ESPHome ) is using this method.
As I don’t need the current to be measured when relays are not triggered, is there a way to force the sensor update at 500ms (or less) when at least 1 relay is on and disable readings when both relays are off?
Here part of the config:
Sensor set-up:
sensor:
- platform: bl0939
update_interval: 500ms
current_1:
id: open_current
current_2:
id: close_current
Cover set-up:
cover:
- platform: current_based
name: "$ldn"
device_class: blind
id: "$coverid"
open_sensor: open_current
open_moving_current_threshold: 2.1
open_obstacle_current_threshold: 2.5
open_duration: 35s
open_action:
- switch.turn_on: open_cover
close_sensor: close_current
close_moving_current_threshold: 2.1
close_obstacle_current_threshold: 2.5
close_duration: 35s
close_action:
- switch.turn_on: close_cover
stop_action:
- switch.turn_off: close_cover
- switch.turn_off: open_cover
obstacle_rollback: 2%
start_sensing_delay: 1.0s
max_duration: 37s
Current measurement is “internal” so value doesn’t transfer to HA and occupy history space, if that’s what you mean. But in any case measurement are recorded into history only when changed, not at every measurement. So when cover current is zero that value is recorded only once, not every 0.5 s. - until it changes, of course.
Thank you for your reply,
No, in esphome yaml you set current sensors as “internal: true”. That way they won’t show in HA:
- platform: ade7953
irq_pin: GPIO16
voltage:
name: Shelly 2.5 Mains Voltage
internal: true
filters:
- throttle: 5s
current_a:
name: Shelly 2.5 Open Current
id: open_current
internal: true
current_b:
name: Shelly 2.5 Close Current
id: close_current
internal: true
update_interval: 0.5s
I didn’t know about the internal: true option. That’s useful!
But, my question was about the ESP32 device, not the HA instance (which is on a server and doesn’t have performance issues).
Also, is there a way to log button press, but not sensor readings? Do I have to specify platforms?
You said for both current sensor that " This is causing 4 entries per seconds on the logs which doesn’t sound really efficient." internal is the solution for this.
Regarding log: there are a couple of options, see logger component.
logger:
level: verbose
logs:
switch: info
I guess that you could try:
logger:
logs:
sensor: none
This way sensors won’t be logged.

Could you please pass me the code for esphome with which you managed to get the current and voltage measurements?

So if anyone can use it, here is a full code example for a current based cover control: Sonoff Dual R3 v2.x

##BLE uses too much resources if logger is not restricted ##
esp32_ble_tracker:
scan_parameters:

bluetooth_proxy:

I had to restrict the logger to get stability with BLE activated. Without BLE you probably can use standard logging.
