Commands Parameters
Channel<x> 0..100 = set PWM channel dimmer value from 0 to 100%

  • In “BLYNK” app. many buttons can be added as:
  1. VoltageHigh & VoltageLow threshold value.
  2. CurrentHigh & CurrentLow threshold value.
  3. MaxPower, MaxPowerHold & MaxPowerWindow how to stay over MaxPower before power off.
  4. PowerHigh & PowerLow to send an MQTT telemetry message.
  5. EnergyReset1, EnergyReset2 & EnergyReset3 to set or reset Energy Values.

Congratulations I used the QR code to load the project. You could kindly share the integral code with the links, I am very grateful.

If you read my Post you will find all the codes on this page beginning from “HERE”.


As you can see with a Nodemcu with FW Tasmota 6.5 and with my PZEM-004T V3, I was able to correctly visualize the electrical energy measurement. Now I would like to see what Blynk did like you did, but I wouldn’t know how to do it if you could help me. Thank you so much .

@Diego_La_Mattina
pls. read more you will find all you need in this page.

Ok ok I’ll read it right and see if we understand something. But did you use Version 1 or Version 3 of the PZEM004T to make the energy meter? Thank you very much for answering me

To RESET ENERGY in Tasmota

Open “Console Menu” then
Type:
EnergyReset1 0 - to reset Energy Today
EnergyReset2 0 - to reset Energy Yesterday
EnergyReset3 0 - to reset Energy Total & Total Start Time

Command Parameters
EnergyReset1 0..42500 = (§re)set Energy Today in Wh
EnergyReset2 0..42500 = (§re)set Energy Yesterday in Wh
EnergyReset3 0..42500000 = (§re)set Energy Total in Wh
  • Something IMPORTANT I need to add :

All libraries (Ver.) I used in my BLYNK scketchs are the same Libraries selected by TASMOTA

  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
  #include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
  #include <WiFiUdp.h>
  #include <ArduinoOTA.h>
  #include <PubSubClient.h>
  #include <ArduinoJson.h>

Anyone who uses MQTT should be using the fantastic MQTT Explorer.
I just wish that there was something half as good for iOS.

Thanks @ThomasN for your great product.
