Hi Hans, I cannot follow the program completely but that may be because I do not know what Homewizard needs and returns.
Note that the Arduino program is using a JSON library. There is no JSON library for JAL (yet). Not sure how often such a library would be used.

I'll try to explain it. I currently have a PIC package that reads the smart meter and records how much is input (IN) or output (OUT). I use two potentiometers to set an ON and OFF value. It then switches a relay on via a wire when the OUT value is greater than the ON value and stays that way until the IN value is greater than the OFF value.[20250325_122333[1].jpg] I can now replace the wire with the Arduino D1 mini and a Homewizard socket because I also have a Homewizard dongle in my smart meter. Besides reading and forwarding the on/off commands from the PIC, the D1 mini also sends back the socket status. Why I'm being so difficult (besides the fact that it's an incurable deviation of mine) is because the Homewizard system turns the socket ON when there is a minimum feed-in value, but always turns the socket OFF when there is no more feed-in. I've asked them many times to adjust that, but they refuse. With my approach, I accept a partial load. For example, the panels have a surplus of 1 kW and the charger has a capacity of 2 kW. Therefore, the HW will constantly switch on and off. Now, mine will accept a 1 kW supply from the grid before switching off. So, winter situation.

What needs to be done is that you - after the module is connected to the Wifi - send data via the serial interface tot the ESP8266 which then sends it to your HomeWizard device via Wifi. Without looking at this in detail I think it should be possible using this JAL library.

It's working properly now. With the PIC, I can now send ON/OFF commands, and if the sockets respond correctly, I get the message back that I can read with the PIC. A truly perfectly working package!!!!! The world of Arduino remains a stumbling block for me, no matter how simple it should be according to the experts. I'm therefore surprised this thing cannot be implemented in the PIC/JAL world. If anyone is interested in delving into this, I have a PCB lying around that I'd be happy to send to you.

Very clever, and it's just missing the little bit I need! Too bad, but maybe someone else knows. By the way, I have a few UNOs here that I occasionally use to try out a program from the internet. But often, it doesn't work. On Wednesday, I linked a program for the D1 mini V3 I ordered; let's hope it works. Then I can use a PIC instead of the pushbuttons and continue. https://github.com/gtmans/homewizard/blob/main/socketswitch/ApiSwitchDual-D1-git.ino Thanks for your reply and regards, Hans Op vrijdag 26 september 2025 om 17:31:52 UTC+2 schreef vasi vasi: Hi Hans, Unfortunately, my knowledge does not contain the required information. Many times ago I developed my own CMS (content manager system or blog) written in PHP language and using a MySQL database, then later developed some plug-ins for the sNewsCMS (porting also some Wordpress plugins for the same system) but after a couple of years I got bored and decided that further web programming is not something satisfying enough - that time, my access to Internet was limited and expensive. I went back to PC programming in other languages and then entered in the embedded world. Now I gather/realize projects with ATmega micros in C, Wiring, LunaAVR and GCBasic (maybe even FreePascal, not decided yet) languages for a book. Probably, next is PICO, exactly what I recommended to you... Circuit Python and Micro Python are unknown to me for now. I could go with C or FreePascal but a future book is the main target.

Another question that you, with all your knowledge, can surely answer. When I open this on my PC, I get the correct data response from the Homewizard socket. http://<IP ADDRESS>/api/v1/data also http://<IP ADDRESS>/api/v1/state gives the correct answer The instruction I used also tells me how to get it to "ÖN", but I can't get it to work in a single line on my PC. http://<IP ADDRESS>/api/v1/state\ -X PUT\ -H "Content-Type: application/json"\ -d '{"power_on": true}' Perhaps you can do that and would like to tell me. Thanks in advance. Regards Hans Op vrijdag 26 september 2025 om 12:20:08 UTC+2 schreef vasi vasi: Hans, It will be much easier for you to learn CircuitPython and use a Raspberry Pi Pico board with WiFi support than torture yourself with Jal and PIC... Then, along the way, you can migrate to MicroPython for complete freedom and a plus of performance. I think this is the best long term solution for Jal users that cannot learn C/C++/Wiring. I thought and searched for solutions and there is no other solution better than this. There is FreePascal for Pico boards but it has so limited support that you cannot call that a solution. If you cannot enter in the wonderful world of craftsmen using Arduino, then skip it altogether for the next world that uses PICO boards with CircuitPython. That is the future you are about to miss if chose not to act. https://learn.adafruit.com/networking-in-circuitpython/networking-with-the-wifi-module https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/wifi/index.html Ask ChatGPT to translate that source you linked to, into CircuitPython source. See if it is easier for you to understand and use. Act accordingly.
