When I connect to the web portal of the ESP module, I toggle the on/off button, and it works.
From the code you gave me, I have modified it fot the fan, but I do not have a GPIO platform set, which I don’t have for the fan, I only have the PWM component.
What about the speed control?
The speed control is fine too.
I’m little bit confused now. What is ok / not ok with stirrer (excluding automations)?
In the web portal of the ESP module, everything works properly (on/off and speed), like in HA.
That is why I do not understand why it doesn’t work with the automation.
I have modified the code you gave me to make it fit with the stirrer fan :
fan:
# Stirrer Fan
- platform: speed
output: khcontrollerfan_pwm
id: stirrer
name: "Stirrer"
on_turn_on:
then:
- output.turn_on: khcontrollerfan_pwm
on_turn_off:
then:
- output.turn_off: khcontrollerfan_pwm
output:
# KHcontroller Fan
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIO19
frequency: 25000Hz
id: khcontrollerfan_pwm
For the fan, I do not have a platform: gpio output component, so I think why it doesn’t start, that is why I thought I might need a module to turn it on.
You just need patience.
So you have basic working setup:
output:
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIO32
id: a_in1
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIO33
id: a_in2
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIO27
id: a_enable_pwm
frequency: 1000
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIO19
frequency: 25000Hz
id: khcontrollerfan_pwm
You can build your whole automation with these outputs without of with additional esphome components. If you like to have fan components you can use them, but they are not needed anyhow.
It’s late here, my automation is switching off. Think what you need to automate according to those output pins. On/off/direction/speed.
You shouldn’t need it.
Speed zero should turn it off. Control your wiring.
According to your previous post I thought it was working.
Combining lot of thigs together might look efficient way, but it’s not. If you don’t resolve the problems one by one, it’s becoming a lottery.
I have read again the topic to find my mistake but I really don’t know if the wiring is the problem because I think I did as you told me to do :
Maybe I forgot about something?
I will try to find something, thanks for your help!
I don’t understand what you mean exactly…
If you only have minimum setup, does it work or not? Can you regulate the speed? Down to zero?
fan:
# Stirrer Fan
- platform: speed
output: khcontrollerfan_pwm
id: stirrer
name: "Stirrer"
output:
# KHcontroller Fan
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIO19
frequency: 25000Hz
id: khcontrollerfan_pwm
Yes it works under the web portal and Home Assistant. I can turn it on and off, regulate speed up and down.
So your hardware is working and wired correctly.
Those are the only components that you need to control one pump and stirrer.
Gpio outputs control on/off/direction and ledc outputs control speed.
You don’t need fan components (if you don’t want) to make automations. On your script (or other automation):
- output.turn_on: khcontrollerfan_pwm
- output.set_level:
id: khcontrollerfan_pwm
level: 10%
will start the stirrer at 10% speed
and:
- output.turn_on: a_in1
- output.turn_off: a_in2
- output.set_level:
id: a_enable_pwm
level: 50%
will start the pump at 50% speed.
and:
- output.turn_off: a_in1
- delay: 1s
- output.turn_on: a_in2
would change the direction of pump.
The problem is that even if everything works when I use them in web portal or in HA, once I try to use them inside an automation, it always freezes the logs at the moment the script have to start the stirrer fan. And I don’t understand why it freezes the script because as you said, everything is wired correctly.
The thing is, I have GPIO outputs for the pumps, and control the direction with LEDC component. But for the fan, I only have LEDC component, no GPIO output so I wonder if it is not the reason why the fan doesn’t start during the automation in ESPhome.
- output.turn_on: khcontrollerfan_pwm
- output.set_level:
id: khcontrollerfan_pwm
level: 10%
I have already tested those lines in the script, an it doesn’t start the fan… I have commented every lines in the script except for the stirrer fan to check and it is working! I will try with the whole script now.
And while it might kind of work, that is wrong way for that driver. Direction should be controlled with gpio output component.
Because fan doesn’t have direction control.
I think I know why the fan doesn’t start, I have this line in the script as logger.log :
- logger.log: "Step 4: Starting Stirrer at '10%' speed"
This sentence why underlined by ESPHome because of the “%”, so I decided to add an apostrophe but I think it is no correct for the script.
Yep. You need to use %% in printf.
I changed the sign for plain text, it will be easier 
I will try to complete the script, I saw that global variables give the possibility to “store” data inside the esp module. I think that’s what I need for the esp to be able to keep trace of how many mL the pump will be adding to the beaker.
Hi,
All little bit of news from the project.
I have stopped trying to make things work in ESPhome as I do not manage to get what I want, so I started coding in HA getting inspiration from other projects.
For now, I have managed to make everything work smooth, I have added a LM2596S module to power the ESP module in 3.3V to only have one power source.
The calibration part for the pump is over and working. I still need to calibrate the pH probe, but I will do it when the project will be almost finished, so the probe would remain in tank water sample.
The big part will be to automate the KH test. I have already started the basics, I still need to figure out how the data will be saved into HA for an automation to be able to run a calculation which will give me the KH value depending on the water sample and acid amount poured into the beaker. I will post an update of the project once it will be done.
Here is the yaml code (input_boolean, input_number, cards, …) :

And here are the print screens of the cards in lovelace :
The remaining things to do are :
I think I have finished the project. I just have to test it to see if it is acurate now.
The amount of water sample is determined with “input_number.khcontroller_watersamplepump_dosage”.
khcontroller_watersamplepump_dosage:
friendly_name: "KH Controller Volume échantillon ajouté"
unique_id: khcontroller_volume_watersample
value_template: "{{ states('input_number.khcontroller_watersamplepump_dosage') | float }}"
unit_of_measurement: "mL"
The amount of citric acid is calculated with the following template & sensor :
The template :
# Calcul du temps de fonctionnement de la pompe acide du KH controller
- unique_id: khcontroller_acidpump_runtime
device_class: duration
state: "{% set hours = states('sensor.khcontroller_acidpump_runtime') | float %}
{% set minutes = ((hours % 1) * 60) | int %}
{{ '%02ih %02im'%(hours // 1, minutes) }}"
name: Acid pump runtime
The sensor :
# Calcul de la durée de fonctionnement de la pompe acide
- platform: history_stats
name: khcontroller_acidpump_runtime
entity_id: fan.kh_controller_dosing_pump2_forward
state: "on"
type: time
start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
end: "{{ now() }}"
The name of the sensor has to be the same in the template for the sensor to work.
And the you are able to calculate the amount of poured acid :
khcontroller_acidpump_dosage:
value_template: >
{% set runtime = states('sensor.khcontroller_acidpump_runtime') | float(0) %}
{% set calibration_dosage = states('input_number.khcontroller_acidpump_calibration_dosage') | float(0) %}
{% set calibration_time = states('input_number.khcontroller_acidpump_calibration_time') | float(0) %}
{{ (runtime * (calibration_dosage / calibration_time))*100 | round(2) }}
unit_of_measurement: "mL"
friendly_name: 'KH controller Qté ajout acide'
The result has to be multiplied by 100 to get the right value.
And for the KH value calculation, here is the calculation with a sensor :
# Affichage de la valeur dKH
kh_controller_kh_value:
value_template: >
{% set water_dosage = states('sensor.khcontroller_watersamplepump_dosage') | float(0) %}
{% set acid_dosage = states('sensor.khcontroller_acidpump_dosage') | float(0) %}
{% if water_dosage > 0 %}
{{ (acid_dosage / water_dosage) * 280 | round(2) }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}
unit_of_measurement: "°KH"
friendly_name: 'Valeur KH'

Maybe there will need improvements, of some adjustements when testing for accuracy, is there something more accurate than history_stats to get the pump runtime?
A little update, I changed the template & sensor for the acid pump runtime, to get something more accurate for KH calculation because the runtime did not reset after each start of the acid pump which caused the KH value to be wrong.

I created a pre scene where the beaker get empty and the tube filled up (still to adjust for real use), a scene where the test is running, and a post scene where the beaker is emptied and refilled again with water sample of the tank to let the pH probe remain in water.
And some other automations to reset the runtime of the acid pump, another one which save the start and end time into an input_datetime then in an input_number, so the runtime value can be used to determine the acid amound poured into the beaker, then the sensor show that runtime.
I also change the KH test automation to use the input_number of water sample value instead, so if the amount of water sample change in the lovelace card, the automation will adapt automatically.
