In the ST_Anything_Relays_Buttons_ESP8266WiFi.ino sketch, try changing the following three sections of code as shown below. This is where I’d start… You may need to debug things a bit. All of the manual button logic is all self contained within the sketch. It was done as an example for users, as are all of the sketches. Have fun!
From
//EX_Switch arguments(name, pin, starting state, invert logic) change last 2 args as needed for your application
static st::EX_Switch executor1(F("switch1"), PIN_RELAY_1, LOW, true);
static st::EX_Switch executor2(F("switch2"), PIN_RELAY_2, LOW, true);
static st::EX_Switch executor3(F("switch3"), PIN_RELAY_3, LOW, true);
Thank you for the reply. I tried that after I posted the question, I realized the static st::S_TimedRelay sensor1(F(“relaySwitch1”), PIN_RELAY_1, LOW, true, 3000, 0, 1); is for the hub and app and I could use the same switch logic to change the state of the relay pins. I was not sure how the besmart fuction worked. When I setup the code as you suggested I was getting a error ‘class st::S_TimedRelay’ has no member named ‘getStatus’. I tried to modify the TimedRelay.cpp file to add the function but it didn’t work.
Here is a version of the sketch that successfully compiles. You will need the new version of S_TimedRelay.h that I just uploaded to my GitHub repository. I have not tested this sketch, but at least it compiles without error. Please let me know if it works.

// Summary: This Arduino Sketch, along with the ST_Anything library and the revised SmartThings
// library, demonstrates the ability of one NodeMCU ESP8266 to
// implement a multi input/output custom device for integration into SmartThings.

// The ST_Anything library takes care of all of the work to schedule device updates
// as well as all communications with the NodeMCU ESP8266’s WiFi.

I tried the code but I received the following error Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module). The other sketches worked fine I am not sure what the issue is with this one. I wonder if it is something lost in copying it to a new sketch.

Are you sure you downloaded the latest full ST_Anything GitHub zip file? And then extracted the updated S_TimedRelay.h file and placed it into the ST_Anything library folder?
Nevermind. I must have had a glitch the first time. I followed the instructions on GitHub to install the libraries and tried compiling. The code compiled and works well. Thank you.
Every child device has a “last updated” custom attribute you can use to determine whether or not the microcontroller has sent an update recently. Perhaps you could use something like WebCoRE to check to see how long it has been since the last update and then send you a notification?
I’ve just started tackling my next ST challenge - grabbing data from a wifi SD card. I’m planning to use a windows server to sit in the middle - I was starting to write a device handler to post the data to the ST Hub, when I realised I was basically trying to re-write ST_Anything (feels stupid).
So, I’m embarking on setting up for Windows, and I’ve hit my first snag - http://www.omnithing.net/ is saying “refused to connect” - is it down for a while?
So… ST_Anything and OmniThing are two different integrations, although they have similar roots. My son and I originally wrote ST_Anything, which only runs on Arduino IDE compatible micro-controllers. Later, my son, @leinax, wrote OmniThing as a successor to ST_Anything, which runs on a variety of platforms.
You’ll probably have more luck posting questions about OmniThing in its thread.
Okay so I have managed to create smart blinds using a stepper motor and the code for a switch. Basically when the switch turns on the stepper moves x number of steps when i turns of it move back x number of steps. it working perfectly. I recently hit a bit of a hurdle. I would like to change the label associated with the with switch to be open, opening, closed, closing rather the on, turning on, off, turning off. I was looking that the groovy code located here https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/ST_Anything/blob/master/devicetypes/ogiewon/child-switch.src/child-switch.groovy
Line 42 - 45, Im not sure what I can change here that will produce the desired result without breaking the code. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Dan,
I’m having real issues getting Omnithing running on my Windows PC - all down to my lack of skills and familiarity with Visual Studio I think.
I’m beginning to think that Omnithing may be overkill for what I want to achieve…
I have a wifi SD card in my solar thermal & heating controller.
The controller logs data to it every minute - 12 temperatures (deg c), 2 flow rates (int, 0 to 1000), 2 pump rates (0 to 100%).
I want to get these in to ST so I can respond to them.
I have the SD card as a mapped drive on my windows server.
I figure that a small program (written in python for e.g.) could pull the latest values and send them by curl to ST.
I’m thinking that if I were to format the data correctly, I could just use another ST_Anything device as the receiver for this - would I be right?
It looks to me like you’re sending the name, followed by an ordinal, then white space, then the value (I’ve already got curl working from the PC to ST following this post:How can I receive LAN messages on the ST hub (when the messages can come at any point)?)
