New Plugin – ExternalNotificationPlugin

Development

It works!!!

I just commented out line 174 in configuration.h file to try it out. This is really nice.
Thanks so much for putting in this feature request.

I’m wondering if we can build a spreadsheet with all supported boards and their GPIOs, then go to all the configuration files and see what is being used, and then assign GPIO that is unused across most common boards (tbeam, LoRa32, Heltec) to plugins? Someone mentioned GPIO mapping, I’m thinking this would be it?

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn’t want to change anything until I know it won’t cause more issues.

I’ll look into maybe a spreadsheet of some sort, and continue plugging away at the the notification plugin in the next little bit here as more hardware trickles in in the mail :stuck_out_tongue:

Doesn’t work for me.

This is what I have done:

  1. Connected active piezo buzzer positive lied to 3v3 pin, negative lied to pin “13”.
  2. Set up configuration with python CLI so it reflect the settings below.
  3. Restarted the device.
  4. Sent any text messages from other device.
    Message arrived, but not tone is produced.

Settings reflected by python CLI:

ext_notification_plugin_enabled: True
ext_notification_plugin_alert_message: True
ext_notification_plugin_active: False
ext_notification_plugin_output_ms: 1500
ext_notification_plugin_output: 13

Tried on version 1.2.47
Hardware: TTGO Lora v1.0
Also have tried it with current GIT version.
Also tried with a simple Arduino sketch to pulling the pin LOW, and it works as expected. So the hardware setup is correct.

Please file a bug report with this information, include the meshtastic cli commands you used if possible and the debug log.

I’ll take a look at your report after this week’s release.

Thanks for this report!

Could you also make a plugin in wich you can use I2C keyboards without phone just to send messages?

The plugin link no longer works, is the “blob” directory located somewhere else now?

I’m searching for a way to set an LED to a specific color based on a message or word received.
