  Ok, in addition, I found out, that everything works fine if I let nodes talk to the gateway directly. If the nodes are behind repeaters (I tried 3 different ones) they can send alright but they don't receive reads.

  @Tmaster I've created a Node containing a Piezo buzzer a while ago. I stripped all other things from my Sketch. It compiles, but I haven't tested it. Just try it and see if it works. /** * MySensors RoomSensor with piezo alarm for audio feedback, like weather alarm when there's a huricane alarm. * The alarm is just a standard alarm in your Home Automation controller. * * Version 1.0 * Created 25-10-2015 * release date 25-10-2015 * Author by Theo * * * Parts used: * - Arduino ProMini 3.3V * - 3V Piezo buzzer (is actually surprisingly loud for such a tiny PIEZO), You can greatly improve on the volume by wrapping a paper tube around the piezo */ /** * Include all needed libraries. */ #include <MySensor.h> // The core of this Sketch. Enables communication from the radio to the MySensors gateway #include <SPI.h> // Needed by the MySensors Radio, it communicates with the Arduino by SPI /** * Define the child ID's of the supported sensors. */ #define SIRENE_CHILD_ID 0 // The child ID of the sirene as presented to the Domotica Controller /** * Declare constants for the PIN's we use in this sketch. */ #define PIEZO_PIN 5 // The arduino pin to which the piezo buzzer is attached /** * Declare other constants used by the sketch */ #define PIEZO_ON_DURATION 600 // The period the piezo makes a sound when the alarm is on and snooze mode is off. #define PIEZO_OFF_DURATION 500 // The silent period when the alarm is on and snooze mode is off /** * Section for MySensors specific variables and declarations. */ #define SN "Sirene" // The name of the sketch as being presented to the MySensors gateway. B.t.w. current Domoticz version ignores it #define SV "1.0" // The version of the sketch as being presented to the MySensors gateway. B.t.w. current Domoticz version ignores it MySensor gw; // You'll need this object for communication from an to the Gateway. Contains all logic inl the Radio communication MyMessage sireneMsg( SIRENE_CHILD_ID, V_LIGHT ); // trying to figure out what type type to use to make it known as a siren..??? // Message for sending the alarm on/off state to the MySensors gateway /** * Declare variables used by the Sketch */ boolean alarmOn = false; // alarm state indicator. False meaning off, true meaning we're in business. unsigned long nextPiezoEvent = 0; // The next timestamp the piezo sound has to be turned on or off. We'll use the arduino's internal clock for this boolean piezoOn = false; // indicator whether the sound is on or off during the alarm /** * Initialize everything we need before we can start the Sketch: * - setup MySensors communication * - present the child id's to the MySensors gateway * - declare pin modes and initialize the debouncer */ void setup() { #ifdef DEBUG // turn on the Serial monitor if #define DEBUG is uncommented in MyConfig.h (MySensors library) Serial.begin( 115200 ); // only debug to serial monitor during development #endif // setup a connection to the MySensor's gateway and request an ID if we do not have one yet. gw.begin(incomingMessage); gw.sendSketchInfo(SN, SV); #ifdef DEBUG // Print some debug info Serial.println( "Radio is connect right." ); #endif // present the children to the gateway gw.present( SIRENE_CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT, "Sirene" ); // S_LIGHT is not correct gw.sendBatteryLevel( 100, false ); // Let the Domotica controller no that we're a 100% powered sensor. gw.request( SIRENE_CHILD_ID , V_LIGHT ); // request current state. An alarm might be active. // setup the pin's used by this Sketch pinMode( PIEZO_PIN, OUTPUT); } /** * Piezo event has been triggered, depending on the current sirence state we need to make some nois or turn it off. * We'll determine the timestamp of the next piezo event as well */ void handlePiezoEvent() { unsigned long curMS = millis(); if ( piezoOn == true ) { // Piezo is currently on, we need to switch it of digitalWrite( PIEZO_PIN, 0 ); nextPiezoEvent = curMS + PIEZO_OFF_DURATION; piezoOn = false; } else { // Piezo is off, time to make some noise ;-) analogWrite( PIEZO_PIN, 255 ); nextPiezoEvent = curMS + PIEZO_ON_DURATION; piezoOn = true; } } /** * Main loop of the sketch. */ void loop() { if ( alarmOn == true ) { // Alarm handling code if ( millis() >= nextPiezoEvent ) { // check if the piezo has to be turned on or off. handlePiezoEvent(); } } gw.wait( 5 ); // Just wait 50s not really necessary but give the arduino some rest. It's working really hard for us and we should be grateful for that. // besides it calls gw.process() which we need for incomming messages. } /** * Call back handler, for handling messages send by the MySensors gateway */ void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) { if ( message.type == V_LIGHT ) { // Check if the Gateway has reported an Alarm_type message (should be an V_ALARM as off the next Domoticz release. if ( message.sensor == SIRENE_CHILD_ID ) { // Is the message for our alarm child? alarmOn = message.getBool(); // get alarm value sent by Domotica controller #ifdef DEBUG // print some debug info Serial.println( "Sirene state changed to " + (String)alarmOn ); #endif if ( alarmOn == false ) { // turn off the alarm as asked by the Domotica controller analogWrite( PIEZO_PIN, 0 ); // turn off the noise } else { // Schedule the next piezo event nextPiezoEvent = 0; piezoOn = false; } } } } Edited: I'm not good with Fritzling, I just don't find it very user friendly. That's probably why I don't spend some time on how to use it. But i just realized that you might want to know how to hookup the piezo buzzer to the arduino Just connect the radio as described on the mysensors.org build site. I've used a 3.3V piezo, cause I mostly use ProMini's 3.3V for my MySensor nodes. But if you have another Arduino you'd probably need a 5V piezo buzzer. Connecting the piezo is really easy. Hook the ground of the buzzer to one of the GND pins of your Arduino. Hook the positive pin of the buzzer to Pin 5 of your Arduino and you're good to go.

  @Anduril said: ok, what is the behavior if there is no ACK coming back? Trying again for several times before discarding the message? How long is the timeout? We are discussing this topic in http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2189/serial-api-noack-when-sending-with-ack-failed as well. Currently MySensors never resends any messages. You have to program it into your serial application by yourself. It would have to wait for an ACK message and send again, if it didn't come back within time. In the linked thread we are hoping to find a way for implementing this on the hardware of the gateway.

  I think it does not look too complicated. Finally got around to open the thing. I am surprised by its simplicity, at least it looks like. Plenty of space. But I am scared that the display is just pressed into the board. I hope I won't kill it. So know I have to find out how it works... It should be also super easy to control the four buttons (only two are actually needed) with optocouplers... I wonder if it is possible to hack the radio transmission... Comments?

  Hi This is a typical homer project in that I spend half an hour here and half an hour there so it moves very slowly! What I have so far: Plan for 10-15 zone heating control based on standard Y plan heating system. I need to generate control signals for: Boiler on DHW valve on Heating valve on *12-13 radiator valve heads (24v DC) a) Domoticx setup based on a list of zones - the lua scripts are maybe 75% done and working so far - needs tweaks and tidying up before its shareable sensibly. b) Battery powered sensor/ display node arduino based. Has dallas DS1820 temp sensor, 128 x 64 Oled display and three buttons using mysensors 2.4Ghz radio. It links with domoticz, displays (on demand) the room temp, setpoint and the buttons allow local control - boost/cut temp to xDeg for 1 hr. The sensor runs off 2 x AAA cells and takes 11uA standby with pulses of 25mA so could just run off a coin cell for 12-18months. The code is 80-90% complete but haven't started a PCB yet. c) Dallas one wire sensors for some rooms where I am not bothering with a local display node. Also to be used for DHW and outside temperature for display/prediction. d) Some 24vDC thermal actuators for the radiators - that's the biggy and now won't happen till next year and the heating is off. I also need to replace some valve bodies on some radiators so it will need (at least) a day off work at some point to do all the plumbing. e) Android front end based on Netio - tried open remote but found that a bit long winded. This is 20% complete - just done 2 zones to prove the concept. This will drive a wall mounted tablet replacing the old room stat and also be the interface from my phone etc when away from home. f) I haven't started boxing up the RPI - it needs a 24cDC 2-3 amp PSU for the radiator valves and wiring to all rooms - yuk! This may wet your appetite but it is very much a work in progress and wouldn't make much sense if I published it yet. I'll post bits as they become meaningful - but its a way away yet. If nothing else it tells you what's possible. That has taken me quite a bit of experiment to get this far.I've tried at least 5 different home automation packages and have now settled on Domoticz and Netio front end. At least - now I am on the implementation phase! Regards Coppo

  Managing interrupts from several sources

  Hello, Fresh update: With 5k1 pull-down resistors the reel switches work as expected (with the diode "OR"), so I can keep the original plan and use the MySensors sleep methods. Thanks for that tip! And by the way, is it possible to configure the MySensors interrupts on the rising edge, or is it just limited to change? However, with the PIR (modified to work at 3.3V) the maximum voltage it reaches with a 5k1 pull-down resistor is 2.2V, witch is still not enough to activate the interrupt. I kept increasing the pull-down resistor up to 20k, but then the behaviour gets erratic: It starts activating/deactivating without any sense. Was anyone been able to use a modified HC-SR501 PIR (initial diode and 3.3v voltage regulator bypassed) successfully, or the step up to 5V is really needed? (Its a shame to step up 3.3v to 5v so then step it down again to 3.3v, but if there is no other way...). Anyone willing to share the experience with HC-SR501 PIR's in mysensors framework? Thanks, Joao

  Repeater nodes keep a list in EEPROM on where to send messages (next hop) so they'll reach the final target. This table is kept updated by inspecting messages arriving to the repeater. You'll probably have to look in the code for more details.

  That simplifies my issue. I was trying (and now succeeded) to handle 160 char SMS messages (with DEBUG off), but the payload of S_INFO is the limiting factor. So now I can use a 30 char buffer AND keep DEBUG on, which is better for development. I will try to set up to git on dropbox, it is indeed transparent for my PC, not so sure about the Mac. And I still need to do the writeup for connecting the NRF24 directly to the Raspberry as a gateway

  @gopal_N Apart from the question why you would choose such a setup, it can be done by programming the Arduino as serial gateway and using the ESP8266 as serial-to-WiFi bridge.

  That worked previously because the MySensors class inherited RF24. In 1.5 you can initialise a radio driver which has a sleep method that calls powerDown() (in the RF24 case). The radio automatically wakes up when sending a new message.

  @TheoL a simple capacitor to ground is sufficient in most cases. If you use the Arduino internal pull-up a you only need a capacitor of around 300 nF to 1 uF.( the "100" value in the schematic)

  @siklosi What I would do: have the light itself be controlled by a S_RGB_LIGHT and V_RGB. The horizontal and vertical servo's can probably be best controlled with with S_COVER and V_PERCENTAGE. Domoticz knows several variations of cover (or blinds) which give you all the possibilities.

This is good now but now I see delays and some times 2 sensors report both on but only 1 is grounded. I'm not sure if that has to do with debounce timers perhaps?

  Hello @Lucas-Figg I am also keen on the idea of running a mysensor network without a full blown controller, so I am using an ESP8266 as a gateway to the cloud, but also as a controler, and as a sensor. It should be possible to do the same on the Spark/Particle but I suggest that you just buy a 5$ ESP8266 NodeMCU since it's ported allready as a gateway, and you can easilly add your favourite IoT cloud based platform. For more details, look here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1973/esp8266-as-wifi-gateway-controller-node

  No it's not (as far as i'm aware of), The gateway is like it says only a gateway (in this case only data). This means the you should do some work on the controller to be able to send this data.

  @Marvin-Roger I agree with you that sending each percentage close is a bit to much. But in the case of shutters it often occurs that the final position is not reached (shutter frozen, window open, etc.) So it isreporting only the value reached at actual stop.

  An actuator is generally some that you control like relay/light/lock etc. Sensors usually take measurement of the environment. Both types are "child sensors".

  Could be power I suppose. You say that it reboots OK with other sketches. Do both the relay and temp sensor single-sensor sketches reboot OK? I was assuming so, which is why I was thinking something software rather than hardware, but assuming is what gets us stuck, debug wise.

  Have a look at the sensebender sketch http://www.mysensors.org/hardware/micro#example-sketch if ((measureCount == 5) && highfreq) { clock_prescale_set(clock_div_8); // Switch to 1Mhz for the reminder of the sketch, save power. highfreq = false; } The clock frequency is scaled down by software.

  SO an update, I connected a 10Mohm Resistor and my current draw is only 3.1-3.2uA when the switch is engaged and 2.7-2.8uA when the switch is removed. I think that is really livable numbers. So far not getting any false positives which is great.

  Ok, I figured it out. My issue was related to the change with respect to the message callback which has been introduced with 1.5. I had the callback method registered in the call to the begin method of the gateway node but also called it directly in the loop function as well. So this one has been fixed. Sorry, bothering you.

  @joshmosh When a node presents it's sensors it sends out child id's. So the controller knows which child id's exist. When values are send to the controller this is in combination with the sensor child id. So the controller knows which value belongs to which child id's exist. If you then look at it pure from controller perspective it just sees multiple sensors. You can even put all your values within the same child id as long as the V_* types are unique used with that child id (do not use two V_TEMP values with the same child id).

  You don't need a controller. But it will be hard to squeeze in much more into the gateway (running on an ATMega328) and it won't be able to do any SSL encryption (which I imagine most people would want). So one of the best options is to run a light "controller" (on something that has a lilttle bit more horse power) which just forwards your sensor network data to the web service of preference. I imagine you would need to do some kind of re-mapping before posting the data as well.

  @tbowmo said: @blacey I have seen an arduino library somewhere to control different types of AC units, I even think it was mentioned on the forum,( half a year ago). Indeed - this proves it is possible https://www.cooking-hacks.com/documentation/tutorials/control-hvac-infrared-devices-from-the-internet-with-ir-remote/ With a bit more legwork (e.g. https://github.com/r45635/HVAC-IR-Control), I am confident that IR Blaster will be able to support HVAC units. Heck (pun intended), it wouldn't be fun if there weren't any challenges NOTE: Given that we plan to provide HVAC control in the IR Blaster, should we merge this discussion into the IR Blaster thread?

  Sorry for the confusion, this is using the SerialGateway - I have my own code server side parsing the serial responses. Everything after the 'mysensorsmqtt: serial recv -' is just dumps of the serial string received. Ill dig a little deeper into the code and look at the MyGateway side of the code, everything seemed in order but I will do some debugging.

  The raw connector can handle about 3.3-12v (or 5-12v for a 5v arduino), so 5V should be fine. If you have a wall plug that should give "12V", it might give a whole lot more under low loads (such as a measly arduino) - I've burnt more than one regulator with that.

  @5546dug That's an interesting build. I've come across several using a PID controller similar to that, however they have mostly been on electric smokers. My original intent was to do a PWM fan that could be speed controlled, but it was very hard (impossible) for me to find a blower type fan that was PWM-capable. My very initial testing showed that an on/off model would work as well but I haven't tried this on the Big Green Egg yet. My main concern is being able to feed a temp from my phone back to the arduino controlling this, and being reliable if for some reason wireless connectivity was lost from the arduino. I don't think this should be too hard, but will probably take some trial and error on my part.

  For power, I'm using an LP2950 3.3v. I'm using a separate LP2950 5v to power the arduino and LCD. The 3.3v rail only powers the radio. Short answer, yes, I've tried radios both with and without the capacitor. Funny thing though... with my power arrangement, the power from the USB adapter provides the 5v rail, but not the 3.3v rail. Your answer made me think about that. So, I tried both the radio with the capacitor, and plugging in my external power supply. But never did both together. In this application, the external power was necessary to power the 3.3v rail, and the capacitor was also necessary. Thanks so much for guiding my thoughts in the right direction! To clear up any ambiguities: The capacitor was the key to solving this problem. That and the external power. The project now works as expected (minus any debugging I might still need to do).

  @fot said: Hi! I ask my gateway about it's version (0;0;3;0;2;). It will responde with the library version number (1.4.1 in my case). It tells me that the gateway software is up and running. But it will not give me any clue about if the (NRF)network is working. That's a problem, right. I only ask the gateway if no other packages are received in $timeout seconds. /Magnus Of course ! Thank you for pushing my nose on it. Sometimes you don't see the most obvious Since my gateway is relatively close to the controller (Domoticz on a Raspi), I can do a hard reset of the gateway (via Raspi GPIO), which should resolve the issue. Cheers Josh

  @SteveO1234 said: Thanks for the encouragement and help! So it seems as I need to create this message handler function that is referenced in the gw.begin().. And from that point any incoming messages are routed through the function? yup, So, you then have to manage a variable Vera-side that will then get polled from time to time by your Arduino. that request is bounced back as a message, that you handle as you noted above. Look at this example to see how you can manage the change of a stored variable in the Vera device... you merely need to update the stored variable in a change of state, and poll as frequently as you want to update. You can also send Vera html messages that in-turn would generate a message to a node in MySensors space. have fun!

  @n3ro As long as your node is frequently using the gw.process() statement then it will receive the sent messages. Can be any kind of radio disturbance i.e. supply / noise / interference with other 2.4 GHz sources. I would do a few tests with sending messages back and forth. A lot has been written on the forum with respect to "fail" messages.

  @michlb1982 A couple of things, you put the device to sleep so while it's asleep, it won't respond to the commands to change the relays. Since you are combining relays and sensors, you need to keep the unit awake and find a different way to send the sensor data occasionally. For the relay status, read the comments in the sketch. You are saving the relay state and then reading that on startup. You can eliminate all of that code and just set the relay to off in the setup section. Cheers Al

  While you guys are at it, can you also confirm that the PIR module does indeed work as intended on 3.3V input like this guy claims: http://techgurka.blogspot.se/2013/05/cheap-pyroelectric-infrared-pir-motion.html There are a couple of different revisions of the HC-SR501 through so not all of them have actual pins for for H/L selection. Some just have small solder pads. Hi all, does anyone know of an eBay listing that actually ships the HC-SR501 with the pins for H/L selection? I bought some of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310574919531, which shows the pins in the pictures and the description mentions being able to select H/L with a jumper, but the ones that arrived don't actually have the pins and have the solder pads instead. Thanks Al

  It's my understanding that since the ATmega168/328P in the DIP package does not physically have the pins to support A6 and A7, they originally decided not to put these on the mini. It seems that newer revisions of the mini now include these. If you take a look at the schematics on the page you linked above, you can see the newest design version is dated 4-9-2014.

  @Drcashman by outputs you mean to control 2-3 light fades? I guess it wouldn't be too difficult. Just add counters for current and requested values for each fade to keep them independent

  Hello, Thank you for the answers. I wanted to display local information of the serial monitor, when the repeater is far from a PC, but eventually I will directly and separately adress sensors repeaters, two by two. This is less optimized but i can not display this info locally. THANK YOU Alain

  Is any type of IRQ interruption feature be added in the future? I think it would be a great idea for battery devices to be able to sleep them and only wake up when polling for a sensor value.

  No, hope not We had a lengthy discussion about it here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/304/2-0-discussion-units-sensor-types-and-protocol But then other stuff like multi radio support and signing got "in the way". This will be included in 1.5 as you're probably aware of. Hopefully I will have more time for 2.0 soon again where focus is to clean up a little bit of the over-the-air protocol problems we seen and bring in new ideas that could help auto-generating sketches (if I can dream a bit).

  @pit007 said: -> Where can I get the info for the unit (°C or F) from the GW/Controler sight? It is the controller that sends out unit configuration to the node. Not the opposite. The unit magnitude has to be agreed in advance by controller/node. The protocol doesn't currently support this to configured or interchanged on-the-fly.

  Ahh -- Yes I recall now, same problem on the SI44xx chips. So maybe a "bind" mode that uses a know fixed ID (maybe all F's) in conjunction with a random PAN_ID that is compiled into the gateway only. The randomness is controlled by the build process or it could be a sequenced number etc. Bind mode on the gateway would use the known fixed ID and it would only respond to GetPan_ID requests from nodes. The mode would be entered during boot, detected by a button press or jumper. The gateway would not exit bind mode until it is rebooted with the jumper removed. The end/router nodes would be built with the fixed ID programmed in the EEprom (hence all F's) and would therefore know that it has not gotten a PAN_ID yet. It would then enter a loop asking for a PAN_ID from the gateway, using said fixed ID . The end/router node would indicate a successful exchange of the PAN_ID by setting it's LED (on PB5/SCK ) and entering an indefinite loop after storing the PAN_ID in the eeprom. The end/router would have an option to ease the EEPROM during the boot of the node by detecting a switch closure or jumper to force a rebind to a different network. So from a user's point of view to bind a node you place a jumper on the gateway and the node then power both. Wait until you get a green light on the node. at which point you remove the jumpers and reset both. When playing with the PAN ID yesterday I noticed that the lower 8 bits (I think) showed some strange behavior. Is the library using the data pipes, and therefore 7:0 is not actually usable in the PANID? Gary

  I'm writing a sketch that use a MEMS sensor (ADXL345 in this case but it will be a start point for more sensors like this like MPU6050). this chip can raise an interrupt when: inactivity sensed,activity sensed,tap,double tap,free fall. so the reading of the XYZ values with a leading char that represent the event sensed (I for inactivity and etc ) are going to a serial MySensor GW and from there to the controller (right now I'm using MYSController). *EDIT I found out that values can be negative so I just sending the decimal numbers as is...

  @funky81 the original question was, if you could connect the supply to Vraw (using 3xAA batteries), and still use the internal Vref to calculate batteryvoltage. This is not possible Your approach is connecting battery directly to VCC on the atmega (bypassing the onboard voltage regulator). In this case it will work.

I guess for this, the problem is on the controller side, after send the command, without acknowledge , it give up and let the state of the button unchanged. Always on means power supply, This sensor must also get temperature, so I don't want to put it anywhere ... anyway thanks for you help

  @amitach said: Hi, I have a mqtt gateway running on arduino from mysensors library. I also have an openhab controller running on a raspberry pi connected to the arduino uno through the ethernet shield. I am trying to create my first item on openhab and I understand that the format required is MyMQTT/20/0/V_TEMP where 20 and 0 are node id and sensor id respectively. I can see following message on the serial monitor Started! 0;0;3;0;9;read: 20-20-0 s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1:1 How do I configure the node id and the sensor id? Is it assigned automatically or do I assign it statically? How do I understand the above output on the serial monitor? You can let the gateway autoassign node IDs or take it in your own hands. What I found useful is to not rely on the automatic assignment but give my nodes a static ID, you can do that by replacing the gw.begin function call by this: gw.begin(NULL, NODE_ID, false); where NODE_ID is your chosen ID (you can use "#define NODE_ID 12" for example to specify it before). The sensor ID is specified by you. So in each example you see a line something like this: MyMessage msgMotion(CHILD_ID_MOTION, V_TRIPPED); where the first argument (here CHILD_ID_MOTION) specifies the sensor ID that will be sent along your message. You can, again, use #define to define a number in the top of your sketch. The serial output was a mystery to me as well until I looked up the printout in the libraries/MySensors/MySensors.cpp file. It's constructed like this: debug(PSTR("read: %d-%d-%d s=%d,c=%d,t=%d,pt=%d,l=%d:%s\n"), msg.sender, msg.last, msg.destination, msg.sensor, mGetCommand(msg), msg.type, mGetPayloadType(msg), mGetLength(msg), msg.getString(convBuf)); So it's the sender's node ID, then probably the next hop's node ID, then the destination's node ID, then s=sensor ID, command type?, the message type (like V_TRIPPED, but as a number), payload type, length of the message, the message itself.

  I figured that out from the other thread I added this little helper to my copy of MySensors.cpp: void MySensor::wait(unsigned long ms) { bool slept_enough = false; unsigned long start = millis(); unsigned long now; // Let serial prints finish (debug, log etc) Serial.flush(); while (!slept_enough) { MySensor::process(); now = millis(); if (now - start > ms) { slept_enough = true; } } } In theory it'll handle the millis() rollover, but I haven't verified yet. I'm now able to send messages between nodes with and without being in repeater mode. I have yet to test repeater mode, as i haven't convinced a sensor it can't see the gw yet

Here is an example of what I do: unsigned long DHTPreviousMillis = 0; // last time update. long DHTDelay = 120000; // interval at which to do something (milliseconds) //Delay temperature and humidity for the length of time of DHTDelay without stopping the whole program unsigned long DHTCurrentMillis = millis(); if(DHTCurrentMillis - DHTPreviousMillis > DHTDelay) { DHTPreviousMillis = DHTCurrentMillis; //do something here } See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10773425/performing-a-function-after-x-time for more details on Millis delay Hope that helps.

  I get the same error when using the SoftwareSerial library. More specific, it is a known limitation that you cannot use SoftwareSerial.h and PinChangeInt.h together without altering one or another. Let me give you an example, I was in the same case as you are now, I wanted to use an RF ID reader (125 kHz - RDM6300) on a software serial pin, in my case was A2 (don't ask why, this was the only input pin that I have on an UNO, it is stuffed with keyboard, display, motor actuator for door opening, button for manual door opening, ringer button and NRF24 - this is my all in one entrance sensor ). So, what you have to do: pin A2 is on Port C you have to disable in the SoftwareSerial.h the other intrerupts, except the one associated to PortC, that would be - PCINT1 is for Port C : PCINT0 is for Port B PCINT2 is for Port D PCINT3 - it is not the case of 328P so you can leave it uncommented so in SoftwareSerial.h comment the following for PCINT0 and 2: #if defined(PCINT0_vect) ISR(PCINT0_vect) { ReceiveOnlySoftwareSerial::handle_interrupt(); } #endif The other thing that you have to do now is to tell PinChangeInt.h that you use Port C for other purpose. To do this, in MyGateway.cpp, ahead of the #include "utility/PinChangeInt.h" you should include the following: #define NO_PORTC_PINCHANGES Save, upload, enjoy... And don't forget to modify back what you altered. This assumes that you don't use intrerupts on pins...

  @ericvdb (Vera guess) When given a fixed id enable inclusion mode so the device is found when you want to add it. If you are done you have to clear the eeprom and remove the fixed id from the code, and remove the device from the controller. After the above done, enable inclusion mode again and let the auto id assignment do it's work.

  I built a trip wire for the post box that I'm connecting. It's however based on a mercury tilt sensor so I'm really not sure whether I think it's a great idea putting it to use (at least not with a sturdy case...). However, I can share my code: #define DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR 2 // The digital input you attached your motion sensor. (Only 2 and 3 generates interrupt!) #define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2 // Usually the interrupt = pin -2 (on uno/nano anyway) MyMessage msgTripped(CHILD_ID_TRIPPED, V_TRIPPED); void setup() { gw.sendSketchInfo("Postal", "1.0"); gw.present(CHILD_ID_TRIPPED, S_MOTION); pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT); // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input } void loop() { boolean tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == LOW; if(tripped) { gw.send(msgTripped.set("1")); // Send tripped value to gw } gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,FALLING, SLEEP_TIME); }

  @m26872 kind of averse to using blocking code that way... I have used delay() in my setup() functions like that... for the first time I set up the devices.... The caps are really there for the day-to-day reliability of the radio. It is a power hungry little bugger. You could also do something like this so that you didn't have the delays there once you had the devices set up in vera... //... #define FIRST_TIME_SETUP //... //... #ifdef FIRST_TIME_SETUP #define SETUP_DELAY 500 #else #define SETUP_DELAY 0 #endif void setup() { delay(SETUP_DELAY); gw.begin(... delay(SETUP_DELAY); gw.sendSketchInfo(... delay(SETUP_DELAY); gw.present(... delay(SETUP_DELAY); } void loop() { }

  Thanks but that thread ended on the difficult part: "please, help to send the presentation string when inclusion mode has been triggered" Anyone have a idea about this? It would be easier to include one more Arduino and a radio but the hardware and programming is one of the fun part with MySensors Regards

  Hi all... This is important for all ... Hek I find problem with manual node ID setting .. Your code is optimized for ATmega328P 16Mhz - 115200 serial speed .. and here is problem ... big problem !! 16MHz -115200 is in normal speed : 3.549% ERROR , and in double speed : 2.124% ERROR with no calibrated 8Mhz internal RC oscilator is normal speed : 8.507% ERROR and in double speed : 3.549% then in fact .. no problem to send data from MCU to PC .. problem send data from PC to MCU .. solution : for sensor node or repeater .. we don't need received data from UART .. then can use 115200 with internal RC oscilator .. for serial gateway is need to send and received data from to MCU with controller .. then use scrystal 16Mhz (as orginal code ) or use better crystall : 7.3728Mhz , 11.0592Mhz , 14.7456Mhz ... with this crystall is ERROR 0% ... or use lower speed for serial gateway for example 38400bps ... sorry for all .. but I'm not thinking about it .. and problem was all time in hardware .. interesting is that if generate own bootloader for my node then first time I set 115200 bps speed and my software show error more then 8.5% ERROR ..and I must change speed to 38400 ... now it's working .. if node send request for new ID then I send it regards.

  Hi. I do it .. change configuration in MyCOnfig.h (disable debug) and now gateway not send encoded message . But right now I test my serial board and have problem .. If send fast many packet from my sensor (INT0 and INT1) then serial gateway halt .. and no more data received from sensor and output string to uart .. I must reset MCU and all work again.. what is problem ?? Problem is in serial gateway .. after reset all work good .. any idea?? regards.

  Hello, first the pot is only for the digital output, it has no effect on the analog one. second, check your wiring, the analog should always report something, make sure the analog you use in the sketch is the one wired ... basic mistake... same for the 5V and ground. there is also a led on the board, if the board is correctly powered at some moment the led should turn up.

  Yes, I get it from presentation messages, but like you say a little redundant So, if I can send it once in setup, like this it's better for the controller, not too much work for nothing, just take care of the message send by setup and it's done.

  @ntruchsess Good job, I had to do this to WIZ5200 too, although it has bigger buffers/supports more client connections. Same situation for Iboard PRO (with onboard NET, I think 5100)

  No, it is not possible nor recommended. The gateway probably need all processing power it has to handle incoming messages and routing to/from serial interface.

  @hek said: It won't work if you previously had AUTO enabled and have received an id. This id will be written to eeprom. But If you always had a static id for a node this means no id has been written to eeprom and you can still go back to AUTO to fetch a new id. For a node that HAS received an id and you want to receive a new id for some reason, you have to use the clear eeprom example which writes 0xFF to the id-position of eeprom again. This allows node to fetch a new fresh id from controller in AUTO mode. I always use nothing but static node-ids and I'm unable to re-include working nodes to my Vera without first erasing the eeprom. The sensors "new parent"-debug message isn't showed until after this either. Is this correct?

  @ntruchsess Yes, know there is a bit of lacking documentation Inclusion mode is optional for controller to make use of. Presentation messages is always passed to controller. If controller wants it can choose to only allow adding device while inclusion is running. If gateway should handle id-handout by itself we would also need some kind of reset/clear functionality in the serial protocol to free up ids etc. The id statuses must be stored in gateway eeprom. Handling multiple parallell retransmits automatically by gateway (and nodes) could make it impossible to run it on a ATMega329 [speculation]. But if you got some neat ideas I'm open for suggestions (or pull requests) . If you decide to help out with something please use the development-branch.

  Rounding sensor values

  OK another try: here's the rounding (up) function, to be placed after the loop function in the sketch: int Ceiling(int input, int ceilTo) //input is the integer number to be rounded //ceilTo is the desired rounding (up) value { if ((input % ceilTo) != 0) { return ((int)(input / ceilTo) * ceilTo) + ceilTo; } else { return (input); } } After the sensor input is read in the sketch, e.g. light level, insert the line lightLevel = Ceiling(lightLevel,10); Rounds all light level values upwards to the nearest 10. Depending on your rounding value, this will reduce the number of times the sensor sends an update to the gateway since updates are only sent when the value is different from the one previously sent.

  No there isn't any easy way to broadcast to the entire radio network. The problem is to send messages to nodes that requires a repeater-node in between to be reached.

  Thanks, I was thinking of using a photo resistor as well but I think the LED does not shine through the board. Will give this another try on the weekend. As for the send info to gw code i used, any comments? Is it correct in the first place? Thanks

  @marceltrapman Good question, one in which I have no answer. My sensors typically return ~75% for 2 fully charged AA batteries.
