#28403 Hello!

I'm glad to present new version of DeviceHive Fimrware for ESP8266 - v0.3
New key features:
- SPI support (mrfc522 connected with SPI sample - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMT3v49d57g )
- onewire (1-wire master and DHT devices) support (iButton, DS18B20, DHT11 sample - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuvxwCPNZCc )
- wireless configuring (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFD2TTZNNvo )

#30939 Николай, добрый день! На хабра хабре у меня нет инвайта, поэтому пишу здесь.
Во время конфигурации ESP8266 через терминал нужно ввести: В «DeviceHive server URL» вводим «API Url» от сервера.
Однако на сайте это выглядит не в одну строку а в две:
API URL: http://playground.devicehive.com/api/rest
Access Key: aDnYSFC4ALLzzTuDjAaXr/ogNf5TKHQkVfbpA=

а не "nn0354.pg.devicehive.com"

Подскажите, сейчас каким образом вводить «API Url» ?

#31065 mountlander, Hello. This is English-speaking forums. if you want to talk to me on native language, you can reach me at email: nikolay@devicehive.com

For everyone who doesn't understand Russian: mountlander has an issue with setting server credential to firmware.
We just upgraded our official site - http://devicehive.com and installed the latest DeviceHive server for playgrounds. But unfortunately we haven't upgraded firmware for using with the latest server yet. New version of firmware will be released soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The same on Russian, special for mountlander:
Здравствуйте! Это англоговорящий форум. Если хотите побщаться со мной на русском, вы можете связаться со мной напрямую - nikolay@devicehive.com
Мы только что обновили наш официальный сайт - http://devicehive.com и установили последнюю версию сервера на плейграунды. Но, к сожалению, мы не добавили поддержку последнего сервера к прошивке. Новая прошивка выйдет в ближайшее время. Извините за причененные неудобства.

#31069 Does DeviceHive allow for a weekly timer say 10 timers per day per each pin?

This would be useful for relays if you wanted to automate turning things on and off only when you are home or possibly sleeping turn them off etc... automation requires timers I see a lot of things IOT with the ESP but very little for weekly timers which is a big part of automation really....

Lets face it motion sensors are nice but often fail to work or detect motion properly or it is possible that you may be seated at the time or lets say in the shower behind a curtain and your lights go off while you are in the shower there is a number of scenarios where motion sensors are not dependable enough I have seen some that don't like to turn on without flailing about I doubt anyone who wants automation has the goal of flailing their arms every time they want something to turn on they want the simple action of you being in the space to turn stuff on.

I suppose a rfid card or possibly with NFC it may be possible to act based on where you are in your home but this requires you to carry some sort of wireless device with you which isn't the end of the world other than batteries required etc... It is said that Bill Gates has this technology though and he has shown it to many people with customized tags ... lights light up as you enter an area and shut off as you exit an area and the settings for the digital decor and media such as music also automatically change as well.

Thanks for sharing this is way cool stuff.
