Could a new "Display Output:" mode be added so as the clock mode can chose between a 12hr Clock or the existing 24hr Clock ? blinking is good.
- midnight or noon should show as 00:00 or 12:00?

well according to Wiki you linked in 12h mode 00:00 will never be shown.... right?
Yep, I didn't write that right. But yes 12:00 am is midnight.
I do apologize but I had no time to test my pluing in the last days as I'm finish to setup all for my vacation as I will leave tomorrow morning 5am...
I will continue to work on it on my return in 3 weeks so please be patient!
Which builds are the new commands available in, @papperone? I'm running 20180718-TEST; it doesn't recognise '7dtext' as valid... do I need to pick up a nightly dev build?
Sorry I just come back and I thought I explained I had no time to submit the new plugin as I prefer to run some more tests before releasing it.
What a pity! I wait with my two displays to monitor IN/OUT temperature!. I hope you make it soon!
sorry about delays but while I was finishing the testing some other user commited in GitHub a change request of my plugin with huge nuber of changes aiming to optimization...
No matter what way I will go it will take lots more unplanned time which I have not much recently due to job related tasks...
I do apologize but not all depending on me!
Too bad, all this hassle. It works great the way it is now. Why did someone just change that much of your code?
In your place I should revert back to my original code. If the other user wants to change it, let him develop his own version.
Thank you for all the effort you put into it.
@papperone, was it me that made changes?
I don't remember changing things to your plugin.
Maybe I can help explaining what has changed recently and to what purpose?

what shoudl I do ? as I wrote the number of changes in the plucing are a lot and to go to all of them it will take me a while and I've already a local version of plugin with new features based on my old versione...
I say: continue with your local version. You started it and it worked great. Why wait for some unknown user that teared your code apart?

Indeed, it is not merged, so we can continue with your code and maybe later apply the mentioned optimizations when still applicable.
ok , understood!
2nd: i've some of the "dots+colon" tm1637 modules, and using ESP_Easy_mega-20180809_dev_ESP8266_4096.bin on a nodemcu model, 1st gpio D3, 2nd gpio D4, tried both the dots and colon combo option, but none of the dots or colon is ever ON, just the numbers (right now showing time)... not in blink, nor in no blink setting...
3rd: sending this command "7dn,09.07" in manual mode just displays "9", why?
Could you add that as a feature request on GitHub?
Hmm, With the MAX7219 everything works fine, but with the TM1637 4-digits, it doesn't work. I tried several diferent Displays, none of them works. No LED ist on What can I do?

Have you followed the wiki?
Yes, some of my TM1637 are exactly the same model that is shown on the pics in the wiki. tried to use the same gpios (and others) tried with 3.3 V and 5V, tried ESPEasy builds from 20000 to 20102, tried the special compiled version earlier in this thread here (somewhen in 2017), tried several esp8266 devices (wemos D1 mini and clones, NodeMCU) nothing worked for me. No reaction on the display.
Could you provide screenshots and pictures?
Not at the moment, because of my banning problem, you know.
but there is nothing special to see i think. Wiring and config is exactly as in the wiki, I tried to switch the two GPOs, too and many other things, like changing the GPIOs to others, 3.3V and 4V and so on.
Checked my hardware with https://wifi-iot.com/ and it works. So it's a problem in the plugin I think...
So I think someone else could look how to get it to work on 20102...
Edit: do you think it is possible to share the clk gpio for multiple TM1637 or something like that? I am a little bit low on GPIOs...
What's happen with multiple LED display update?
I can confirm that tere seems to be an issue in the actual (nightly) releases.
I have a TM16037.
With ESPEasy_mega-20180815 the display is working fine.
With ESPEasy_mega-20181008 it does not work.
For now I can stoy on the old one but would be great to get it "back" in the latest releases.

For me - work fine. Just tested it.
Sorry for the delay but finally I managed to release new version of my plugin (thanks to TD-er to help on sort out the mess!).
Obviously some of the letters can't be shown properly but it's a limit of the 7 segment layout.
i have loaded " ESP_Easy_mega-20181123_dev_ESP8266_4096.bin " and can report that it seems to work well in Clock12-Blink mode, very happy.
I tested again (as I do have it) both these displays and as well the ones based on TM74HC595 and I can confirm they are not usable with ESPEasy as they do require a 50Hz refresh (e.g. they must be refreshed at least 50 times per seconds as they are built with shift-register ICs).
I got 1,2,3,4 dot matrix MAX7219 based units.

I'll let you konw when I've some draft code so you can help me testing it!

Great! Looking forward to it!
Just found this one, should I order it?

That would more reasonable.
Obviously I miss something - Is it solution for two TM 1637 displays release or not?
Colon AND dots?
I have a four-digit display with both, dots and a colon (8.8.:8.8.). It seems that I cannot address the dots. In temperature display mode the colon is used as decimal separator. It doesn't make a difference if set the plugin to address a display with dots.
Is it even possible to use the dots or individually turn the colon on or off?

Not yet, still need to rework some part of the plugin to enable multiple displays handling... sorry !

I think I wrote it somewher but all of the modules I've tested with this configuration (colon+dot) have only one of the two connected (and most of the times is the colon ).
if you need to display temperature, as I use the colon as decimal separator, you can mask/hide with black tape the "top dot" of the colon and you have a reasonable solution, unless you want to replace the display with one with dots enabled...
all of the modules I've tested with this configuration (colon+dot) have only one of the two connected (and most of the times is the colon ).
Thanks for your quick response. I've seen several remarks online where people came to the same conclusion. I'll see if I can get to the dots with this library.

After extensive testing it seems mine is also one of those. I was hoping to use the dots as additional status indicators. I guess I have to add separate LEDs for that to my project.
I have a different remark though. It seems one can switch only between manual mode and clock/date display via the plugin's page. Wouldn't it make sense to allow the switch to be made via command?

well never thought about it as I couldn't think of a use-case scenario where this can be used, if you think it make sense to add this let me know how you intend to use, I don't want to add features just for the sake of it and increase code size without realy application...
