You mean "count transition down".
Done.
No it's showing LOW (0) and the status is updated.

Thanks, Karl!

[kw123]

Count off. That would give you
1 2 3... not 1/0


And the notes field does not change?

Another question, Karl.

Would it be possible to us a sound detector sensor (with sound pattern recognition) with the plugin?
I know you would be able to develop this

Background: I would like to have something to recognize the ring of the bell. It's an old installation here in the house of my landlord, and at the moment not possible to replace it.
Well, it could be maybe possible to open the intercom device and maybe insert a sensor or something similar. But I don't trust these old installations.
So, I was thinking if it's somehow be possible to capture the ring bell, save it as a pattern and have it recognized --> if rings, set to HIGH or something like this.
Often I don't hear that ring bell thru the hallway and two closed doors while I'm in the kitchen.

I've searched the Internet and found this:

Then I have no idea what to change.

I change it to this like in the screenshot.
Now it shows "OFF".
Let's see if it will stay so.

[kw123]

I tried those. 50 error rate for simple things like on off

But the new google external ai device could be used.
I got one, but have not installed it.

Oh, ok.

Which Google device do you mean?

for a switch input you can try above BLE-beacon.

It sends a BLE advertising message when contact opens/ closes, runs on 2 CR2032 batteries. It can be up to 30 m away from the RPI (in a building w sheet rock (wood) walls, outside .. 100 m, not tested).

Better than WiFi sensors (ie shelly) as those just "eat" batteries. This one should last several years. Also the Wifi switches need to walke up contact the router, get an IP# and then send, that can take several seconds. This one is < 0.4 secs from switch change to the indigo device state change.
They have different versions of this one ( touch, magnetic, IR ..) the inside is the same besides the actual on/off sensor (mechanical, magnetic, IR short distance long range IR ..)
They are really ugly but work very well.

Also for magnetic - door window sensor try: url]https://www.beaconzone.co.uk/sensor/IM21[/url]
simple on/off, also very fast, and small and looks nice.

Similar for water leak: https://www.beaconzone.co.uk/sensor/EW70

I use now the 4 button remote https://www.beaconzone.co.uk/sensor/RC10 for my alley way sliding door and garage door: alley way door (3 buttons) open/close/stop --> 3 relays on RPi and garage door (one button) open/stop/close --> one Insteon switch connected to the garage door motor.

This are all very solid beacons that run on CRxxx battery cells, wake up for a message send the message and go back to sleep, very fast and long battery life

Ok, thanks, Karl, I will have a look.

Hi Karl

I've had to use - predictable names for rpi networking.
Issue was wlan0 and wlan1 would constantly swap loosing connection and also having an new DHCP ip address appear and a number of log messages regarding. (wlan0 not strong enough)

This gives me a lovely ifconfig:

Like that
The ETH is only for testing/setup, with WIFI being the only persistent connection.
I have appropriately name wpa_supplicant-wlan0 and wpa_supplicant-wlx803f5d147f78 files which work fine.

Issue is pibeacon can't find the IP address as no wlan0... or eth0; not surprisingly.

Can I set this manually somewhere?
(I did seem to recall a ipaddress file; but can no longer see it on the rpi)

Edit:
I have come to conclusion that I may be asking a bit much....
Have returned to usual names wlan0/wlan1 and will have to try to figure out how to set one to another.
(?udev rules - but did find these weren't that stable..)

Thanks

[kw123]

I tried to automate as much as possible eg et the ip number. Naturally there is a limit to what options can be covered

I could add an option in the plugin to ignore all the "get IP number stuff" and set it to a fixed #.

If that would help you I can do that in the next days.

Thanks Karl,

If it’s easy/not to much trouble, others and myself may have a need for it down the track., if not now. I suspect it may be useful for those with 2 wifi adapters, or as above, when need predicatable network names enabled.

But certainly not a priority, or rush. I’m continuing trying to sort out wlan0 and wlan1 swapping after boot.

Thanks

I think I am done, still doing some testing

ignoring things is easier than adding things
