GPIO0 on Mn Cast [resolved]

ESPMUSE
#1

Hello, I’ve got a couple of these recently & have been working on creating an esphome config for it similar to what’s available for espmuse luxe/proto. I’ve been able to get the rotary encoder working but am struggling with the encoder button config, it’s listed as using the GPIO0 pin here:

Encoder
A=32
B=19
Button =0

when validating the config in esphome it appears that’s a strapping pin:

WARNING GPIO0 is a Strapping PIN and should be avoided.
Attaching external pullup/down resistors to strapping pins can cause unexpected failures.

The docs I’ve read recommend only using this pin for output and I’m getting strange results using this config, if I remove the delay filters it rapidly flips on/off continuously:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: 0 
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
      inverted: true
    filters:
     - delayed_on: 100ms
     - delayed_off: 150ms
    name: "Play/Pause"
    on_click:
      then:
       - media_player.toggle:

Any recommendations or am I missing something here? I presume the ino test config here works without issue, thanks!

Hello and welcome,
Short answer, IO0 could be used for input as long as there is no external pull-up/down resistor attached to it. This is working fine on our demo app with a debounce you have mentioned but I will give it a too on HA.

longer answer:
IO0 is indeed a specific pin that is used to put the device in bootloader mode if push on the button (state == 0) while turning the device reboot, then it allows to upload a new firmware. This is usually managed by the autoboot loader but I like to have IO0 button in case the auto bootloader fails for some reason.

Can you get it working with the display on ESPHome? When I was testing, the music was distorted every time on display refresh.
Please do post your full config when it’s up and running.

#4

yes I will look at it, also because this is the only missing app in my new apps store !!!

Try it out : http://apps.raspiaudio.com/

Great idea with the store!
Looking forward to having ESPHome support :grinning:

I can see that the IO0 button is working in HA using the yalm file of the PROTO, so I rewrote one on that base. Light, button, and music is working, I also added screen to display time.

The display seems to add some noise on the audio, pretty sure this is not hardware related as it is working with others apps.

So here my first attempt of writing a yalm file.

I first add to use ESP web tool with a dummy device, adopt it in HA, then modify the yalm, update wirelessly.

need to be done : adding rotary encoder

#7

This rotary encoder config is working quite well for volume control

sensor:
  - platform: rotary_encoder
    name: "Rotary Encoder"
    pin_b:
      number: GPIO32 
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    pin_a:
      number: GPIO19
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    on_clockwise:
     - media_player.volume_up  
     - logger.log: "Turned Clockwise"
    on_anticlockwise:
     - media_player.volume_down
     - logger.log: "Turned Anticlockwise"

oh thanks, I will give it a try, now I also need to add IR receiver and fix the annoying sound when the screen refreshes

here is the yalm without the display
