Domoticz

Thanks @HarryDutch! Good to know that there is a way around this hum temp issue. 👍

@hek I would like to control the sending of this information just like sending sensor data. A "memory" sensor if you will. On Domoticz (or controller) side this needs to be possible. But I beleive this is already the case for Domoticz as I have logging of the cpu use and memory/storage use of the motherboard on which Domoticz runs (a Raspberry Pi 2 in my case). I will do some digging in Rob's code to find the datatypes used.

Hi TheoL, I have changed the value from 0 to 255 as shown below and now the LED strip turn off when I click the off button in domoticz. Now the dimming part has yet to be solved :)  Was if (message.type == V_LIGHT) { if (message.getInt() == 0) { digitalWrite(RED_PIN, 255); digitalWrite(GREEN_PIN, 255); digitalWrite(BLUE_PIN, 255);```

Thanks, @BumblingWelsh , I'll check this out - but it looks as though it's for a Neopixel strip, and I'm using an analogue one.

@tbowmo Wowww I did not know that this is a very nice info. I will definitely tried using a couple of magnets. Thank you so much for this info. Any the website you provides is pretty solide too. I've been looking on the internet for while and did not come across a hack like this one before. I am a step further thanks

The Serial gateway is the most simple solution, less can go wrong (software/hardware wise). So if the location of the gateway in your house is good, just use it and don't bother with the Ethernet variant.

Well actually i didn't. Thanks a lot!

@alexsh1 Thanks so much! :wink:

@flopp Thanks for that, yes I noticed your thread somewhere and I was delighted to see gizmocuz working on your issue. Unfortunately the changes made broke my workaround hack. It just means I need to look for a more conventional solution that does not include modifying cpp files. What I will do is re-code my mysensor nodes to use other variables such as V_WATTS etc rather than V_VAR1, VAR2 etc.

Hello hello ! just an update on the project : I succeeded to send the "right" signal to Domoticz, and now can manage the presence or absence of water, using for this an X10 code. One more question : through X10, is it possble to check the battery level ? thanks ! @Cyclone

Hi Cliff, could you be so kind to share the full sketch with us? I'm also having trouble getting this RFM69HW to work.

@alexsh1 yes, I'm sure. Up to now it is only a serial gateway with direct connected sensors.

@tommyken see the updated instructions at http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2437/step-by-step-procedure-to-connect-the-nrf24l01-to-the-gpio-pins-and-use-the-raspberry-as-a-serial-gateway They show how to get the rf24 files.

I finally decided to go for a similar detection as pictured, but with Arduino Pro Mini powered by a battery in a sleeping mode. [image: 1457089415498-arduino-liquid-level-sensor-circuit.png]

Yes, I have not modified the example from MySensors: // Retrieve the power or dim level from the incoming request message int requestedLevel = atoi(message.data); // Adjust incoming level if this is a V_LIGHT variable update [0 == off, 1 == on] requestedLevel *= ( message.type == V_LIGHT ? 100 : 1 ); // Clip incoming level to valid range of 0 to 100 requestedLevel = requestedLevel > 100 ? 100 : requestedLevel; requestedLevel = requestedLevel < 0 ? 0 : requestedLevel; Serial.print( "Changing level to " ); Serial.print( requestedLevel ); Serial.print( ", from " ); Serial.println( currentLevel ); fadeToLevel( requestedLevel ); Its strange, because the µC receives the same value for 7% and for example 78% in Domoticz... So its clear that it can't distinguish between them.

I suggest you try the Domoticz forum. Much more specific experience out there.

@AWI Thanks. I think that will be the easiest. I wouldn't even mess with the x-10 anymore if I didn't already have all the outlets.

@sundberg84 Yes, thank you. I have just reflashed to another sd card hoping that it runs fine now (and it does for now). I will check the domoticz version later. I am currently running 2.3530, although I don't know if thats the same one as before the crash. I just did not know what else to do when I cound't reach the pi via ssh^^ Bad idea I guess.
