Here is a screenshot with the settings which should be configured for ESP01.
Also, you can upload a sketch to check the flash configuration
Anyway, still no luck - NodeMCU, as well as ESP01 would stall after the boot. Tried to factory default, uploaded all zeros, ESP blank, etc.
I am still having zero luck with getting any of my ESP01 boards to run without throwing an exception. I can flash them fine, but they only run for a few seconds before crashing. Iâve tried a ton of programming settings combinations without any success. Perhaps my programming circuit is no longer working correctly? Maybe my FTDI board is flakey? I just donât have the time to worry about these little guys when the NodeMCUâs work so much more easily.
Dan,
After 100s uploads, tests and factory defaults I can 99.99% say - there is something wrong with your DTHs, or/and libraries. All ST_Anything devices have a huge delay in response.
Tried Konnected, and it works fine with the ESP-12E ()ModeMCU), so nothing wrong with my network or the flashing procedure.
Also, successfully tried ESPurna https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/tree/dev/code
no delays.
Thanks for your time!
I hear you, however youâre the only person who has ever reported this issue. I am glad youâve found alternative solutions. As I mentioned, Konnected actually bypasses the ST Hub for half of the data transfers (from the MCU to the ST Cloud.)
I have a fair number of ESP8266 and even more ESP32 all running fine (plus a handful of Arduinos).
it will not upload over my network.

John, Do have the latest DH groovy loaded or not updated? What versions Arduino 1.8.8 and Board manager 2.4.2? and Danâs libraries you successfully use?
When you have last time has flashed the ESP?
I really loved your version of setup. Konnected does not work on ESP01 (at least I have not seen any mention of it. I have tried to flash it but no luck.)
Where I can get old groove DHs (Jan-Feb 2018)? I have saved libraries (Dec. 2017)
Bob,
Looks like python cannot be located.
Try this:
You need to add the folder that contains python.exe to your path:
* Determine the path to the folder that contains python.exe. You can use Windows File Explorer for this.
* In the search bar, type "System (Control Panel)"
* Click on the matching search result
* Click the "Advanced system settings" link.
* Click the "Environment Variables" button.
* In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it.
* Click the "Edit" button.
* Click on the first blank line
* Type the path to the folder that contains python.exe.
* Click "OK"
* Click "OK"
* Click "OK"
Yes. All up to date. Flashed last week (2.4.2 and 2.5, both work).
I have noticed that some code causes the devices to crash and with a little tweaking I was able to work around the issues. Made no sense, but hey, it works (changes in heap, stack, etc). And before you ask, this is true even when ST Anything is not in the picture.
Edit: One more thing, the ESP32 works better than the ESP8266 IMO. Reason? Iâve run into fewer issues using the same code based.
Good luck!
You can pull an older Release from Github, instead of the Master.
I wonder if the issue is related to the addition of OTA update support? I bet the ESP01 does not have enough memory to handle an OTA update⊠
The only files I believe youâd to change is SmartThingsESP8266WiFi.cpp and .h from Release 2.8.
ST_Anything)/Groovy/ Deprecated ?
Well, I have older NodeMCU which is still not reflashed, so nothing changed there, it must be the DHs.
Here is one what I have -

Thanks!
That is a VERY old version⊠It does not appear that youâve refreshed all of the ST_Anything Arduino Libraries in a very long timeâŠ
Here is the current version of the same file. Note how many changes have been made compared to yours.
I would recommend that you rename your existing C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries" folder for safekeeping. Then, download the current ST_Anything .zip file from GitHub and grab the entire Arduino\libraries folder and put a copy in your C:\Users\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries folder. Then try again.
Hey Dan sorry it took me 2 days to reply âŠpregnant wife 
Here is what i have on the logs
Now that you mention Child Switch DTH âŠi dont remember installing that⊠how do i do that ??
Always grateful for your help and for you going out of your way to help everyone ⊠i donât know how you do that but you are an inspiration to us all⊠when i now read a questions in different forums about stuff that i know i am now always taking the time to answer as well
Denis
Thanks for the Live Logs data. Unfortunately, the microcontroller did not send an update for for switch device during the timeframe of this windows of data. Try again - have the Live Logs window open, and then reboot the microcontroller. During its startup it we should see an attempt to create child device. Your sketch does not appear to handle the ârefreshâ command by sending the current status of your switch device. Normally, in ST_Anything this is handled for you. Since youâre using a custom sketch, youâll need to add code to do that if you want that to work. However, simply powering the MCU off and then back on should cause the status to be sent to ST so we can capture the results in the Live Logs.
Are you using GitHub Integration in the ST Web IDE to install and maintain the ST_Anything DTHs? That is the simplest way to install AND publish all of the DTHs. Instructions are in the ReadMe.
I upgrade you to wemos D1 with the pin out in your sketch that you sent me be the same to turn my relays on and off
Bob - I am not sure if youâre saying that it is working properly? Or if there is an issue? Please explain in more detail.
If there is an issue, you are going to have to provide a lot more information and details of what the issue is.
It turns on the onboard LED and the LEDs for the pull-up resistors. I just now got the relays to energize now how do I get 12 volts to my to my fans for example?
WHAAAATTT!!! More secrets youâre hiding from me?!? Iâm shockedâŠshocked I say to see that there is gambling going on in this establishment. 
Where is this other callback function?
This is what I did. - renamed old libraries and installed new ones. I just wanted to let you show which library was working for me until Feb 18th.
Back to my original question - how do I get old DHs/ What settings should I enter for GitHub integration?
DanielOgorchock/ST_Anything/???
as always, Thanks Dan!
