Display different Roomtemperature on MagicMirror

@Xilef
You can but do not have to set the ip in the router. You either need a free address in the range that is NOT used by your routers DHCP server or maybe there is a setting to provide the device always with the same IP in your router. You then can set this IP for the ESP (as it is not used for any other DHCP device in the future then.

the local_ip in the sketch is the IP you choose for the ESP (attention the numbers are separated with , and NOT ..
the gateway is the IP of your router
the subnet depends on your network but 255,255,255,0 will be fine in the most cases
the primaryDNS is usually the IP of you router

yes the “include …” part is the one to be flashed to the ESP.

After you flashed the new Sketch to the ESP and booted it you can use the nc command to fetch the data from the shell of the mirror. The temperature module uses this command to get the data so you can make sure to see if it works without the need to install the module first.

@wishmaster270 i guess thats what i need

“Always assign the same IPv4 address to this network device.”

And for the WIFI SSID and Passwort, behind the 2 ## right?

and where do i need to use the nc command? on the esp32 or on the raspberry pi?

wishmaster270

@Xilef
Perfect. This is the right setting.

You need to replace the ##, too.
It will look something like:

const char* ssid     = "MY_WIFI_NETWORK";
const char* password = "123ABC456";

IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 178, 106);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 178, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
IPAddress primaryDNS(192, 168, 178, 1);
IPAddress secondaryDNS(8, 8, 8, 8);

To check if everything is set up correctly you can run:

/bin/nc -w3 192.168.178.106 80

Xilef

@wishmaster270 the “/bin/nc -w3 192.168.178.106 80” command on the serial monitor message line?

:/

I would suggest to remove the clamp behind the ; ??

@Xilef
Sorry, my fault. You need to change line 52 to:

if (!bme.begin(0x76)) {

Copy&Paste mistake of me

Xilef

@wishmaster270 i installed the module, but i cant display the data

what am i doing wrong, ah the esp32 says he couldnt find a sensor, thats weird
(edit: i tried another one and it worked this time)

wishmaster270

@Xilef
You will need the MMM-Temperature module and not the Embed module as you do not want to display a website but parse the JSON data object and display its contents.
The config will look something like:

		{
			module: "MMM-Temperature",
			position: "bottom_right",
			config: {
				sensors: [
					{
					    name: "ESP",
					    script: "/bin/nc",
					    args: "-w3 192.168.178.106"
                    			},
				]
			},
		},

But you will need to fix the missing sensor first.

Can you please check your wiring and use this sketch instead of the other one. I only removed one line which i do not think is the problem but i can not test the sketch at the moment.

@wishmaster270 i connected an other sensor and it doesnt showed me the error message, i will try the sketch tomorrow, the MMM_Temperature module is installed and works, but doesnt show any data, im gona try to fix it tomorrow

Xilef

@wishmaster270 everything worked, you just forgot to add the “80” here:

i just set up a second sensor and cloned the module
if i go into my browser and type the two different IPs every sensor shows his own data, but the mirror displays 2times the data of sensor 2:

(sensor1: “test” | sensor2: “test2”)
how do i fix that?

wishmaster270

@Xilef Perfect. One step further.

You only need one instance of the module. So your config will look something like:

		{
			module: "MMM-Temperature",
			position: "middle_center",
			config: {
				sensors: [
					{
					    name: "test",
					    script: "/bin/nc",
					    args: "-w3 192.168.178.106 80"
                    			},
					{
					    name: "test2",
					    script: "/bin/nc",
					    args: "-w3 192.168.178.108 80"
                    			},
				]
			},
		},
