My Project

Hi @sundberg84 Many thanks for your reply.. I have not update to 1.6 yet, but will surly try this this weekend. Will come back if I have questions.. Very existed to get this past a testing/play stage. :satisfied: Chris

The sensor should repeat "find parent" until it gets a response. So there seems to be a problem with the sensor anyway. Has the Arduino been used for something else before? Sometimes clearing the eeprom helps. http://www.mysensors.org/build/debug#clearing-eeprom The radio channel can be changed in MyConfig.h https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/libraries/MySensors/MyConfig.h#L314 but it shouldn't be a problem unless your wifi is extremely busy.

I'm using a different approach using Google Charts, as outlined here. I run Domoticz on a RPi, and I've written a Python script to get values from Domoticz using JSON calls every 10 minutes, and write these to a .csv file, creating a new file each day. I then run a modified version of @stephenmhall's Python script, which creates an html file and calls Google Charts. One advantage of this approach is that you display the webpage in a local browser.

Hm, I installed OpenHAB now on my RasPi, also Mosquitto. I think I begin to understand this. So MQTT is just some kind of "forum", and when in the thread "livingroom/temperature" something changes, OpenHAB recognizes it. The sensor sends just its data to the gateway and the gateway writes the MQTT thread? Will the other way round work too, so OpenHAB writes data into a specific thread, the gateway recognizes it and sends a command so, say a servo node to move something? If that all is correct, I sould be able to connect the 433 MHz things just like a normal sensor node. The receiver acts as a normal sensor and the sender could use the servo sketch to send some commands via 433 MHz band?

@stubtoe said: I saw that the other day. It is pretty neat and given me a few ideas. I suppose I was also asking (although not very well worded!) where's a good resource when you want to design and manufacture your own bespoke PCB? Is there a good book anyone can recommend? For Designing a PCB, you can watch tutorials on YouTube (search e.g. for "eagle tutorial" if you want to design your board with eagle. I started two weeks ago and after one day of watching tutorials I built my own board in eagle ;) A good address for cheap pcb manufacturers is http://pcbshopper.com/

Hi Awi, thanks for your answer! As you can see on my previous photos I have already connected the reed switch to my arduino on pin 9 and gnd after that I have typed pinMode (REED, INPUT_PULLUP); on my skecth. Following one of the project i have found which says flipping the bucket a couple of times, I should see the counter in my serial monitor click-up, if not check the wiring. Therefore after following these instructions I can see no signs at all. I was wondering if my conexion to the reed switch is done correctly or it may be affected to my windows (Im working with windows 10) I see a clicking in my arduino board after uploading the sketch but I see nothing when flipping the bucket in order to track the movement of the tipping bucket.

Fantastic. Thank you @niccodemi :thumbsup:

Thanks :) still need to find out where to start and if i need a uno or nano. i also want to make it wireless. and indeed i want to submerse it permanent. i will buy a better one :)

I experienced some burn in effect on this SSD1306 displays after a few months of running, so turning the display off is a good idea!

I built something similar here, but it just displays its 'own' values rather than getting them from Domoticz with V_TEXT.

Oh, @msebbe @AWI , I have a FastLED version with a decent web API and web interface available here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2705/fastled-neopixel-ws2811-node-from-arduino-code-to-web-page-with-api It's working pretty damn well :-D Still working on my front end interface, since I'm not a designer (well, I am a 3d cad designer, not web dev). Oh, and if you knew my controller's name, you could communicate with it via TOR. Just like corporate solutions, I can communicate and control my gateway from anywhere in the world!

VeraAlert plugin in combination with pushbullet works fine for me. I added a mysensors "motion sensor" as a trigger to my ultimaker. Now Iget a message to the phone when the print is finished. Greets paede

@Wijbe.Fryslan so I guess you have already installation done?

@sundberg84 ok. Thanks for the help and the quick reply.

Great Work! I too am trying something similar- http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2601/dimmable-led-with-rotary-encoder-example-for-rgb/5. Only my aim is to use the encoder to control full size RGB lighting zones via Home-Assistant and MiLight. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

soon as I finish the project it will create a new post in the category myproject @pjr unfortunately I read your seat now but I confirm that pins are those that use exact thank - @salvato that helped me as an angel. the irq pin does not need to be connected
