EmonLib.h with ESP8266

Integrations
1

Good afternoon.
I plan to use ESP8266 to measure AC voltage 220V.
To do this, I try to use the ZMPT101B module, the EmonLib master library (EmonLib.h), and the Voltage.ino (reading ac voltage by zmpt101B - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum) sketch.
When there is a voltage at the module input, the sketch outputs values ​​to the terminal.
But as soon as the voltage disappears at the module input, an error appears:

I ask to help to solve the problem.
Thank you.

I do not know about the ESP8266.

The emonLib function that reads the voltage calcVI( ) MUST have a voltage input to work, because it needs to count the number of half-cycles at mains frequency (60 Hz for you? ).

If it does not have a voltage, it waits for 2 s, then it tries again.

The timeout for calcVI( ) is set to 2000 ms (= 2 s) here:
emon1.calcVI(20,2000); // Calculate all. No.of half wavelengths (crossings), time-out

If your watchdog timer is set to less than 2 s, then your watchdog will reset. I think that is what “Soft WDT reset” means.

First, make your watchdog timer longer. We use 8 s.
If that does not work, reduce the calcVI( ) timeout to 400 (= 24 mains cycles).

Thank You very mutch, Robert.
You very helped me.
I reduce timeout and all is working ok.
Thank You!

Thanks Robert :slight_smile:

I changed this :
emon1.calcVI(20,2000);

To this :
emon1.calcVI(20,500);

And it solved this issue
