  Hello, I realize this is an old thread, but I'm hoping someone can help with the 'tweaks' mentioned above. I followed @blacey 's advise and contacted Vera support. So far they have basically told me to pound sand, stating they don't support third party plug-ins. They did ask for more info about the Motieno VID/PID combo that needs to be recognized though. I responded saying I am only asking for help getting my Vera Edge to recognize a USB device plugged into it and referred them to this thread. They have not responded for several days. Hopefully they will get back to me, but it isn't an encouraging start. They've been very good to me on other issues in the past. Any info on what needs to be changed to get Vera to recognize the Motieno device would be very helpful. As background, I've been running an Arduino Nano-based gateway for several years but my Vera periodically loses the serial port configurations. I've read that is likely due to the nano being a clone so I decided to upgrade to sensebender to tidy things up and hopefully improve reliability. I know I could add an ethernet board and be done with it, but I'd prefer to connect the gateway via serial port if I can get it to work. TIA

  Vera Plus plugin issues (and choosing the right controller in general)

  @nagelc thank you for directing me to the log parser. It helped me to understand that my issue caused by lack of INCLUSION_MODE messages that is easily solved by uncommenting MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE in my gateway sketch. The second part of the question stays valid. I realize that choosing the "right" controller is much more than choosing the controller that works good with MySensors. Anyway, I appreciate any personal experience on that.

  Hi @tamorgen - sorry for the reply to your old post (ignore if you've solve this already - or perhaps it's valuable still). Have you looked at the Reactor Plugin for Vera? (it's on Github too - by Patrick Rigney aka Rigpapa from the Vera Forums). I believe it runs on OpenLUUP as well if you were external to Vera. There are example use case videos on Youtube for it. It is a logic engine for LUUP - (if/then/else/and/or/not/timers). You can react to any variable or device state. (ie if door not locked, lock it, then unlock it). You can chain actions or conditions together as well. This was probably done in the past with PLEG, but I was never fond of PLEG so I wrote some conditional stuff directly in LUA, but since Reactor came along - it's so powerful, lightweight and a no brainer to use. I'm probably going to write some battery monitoring and door state monitoring with MySensors with it shortly. /Mark

  @urbanus in your wiring, did you flip around the leds? (i.e. did you connect the longer pin to the gpio pins instead of to vcc? With your wiring, are the leds on when there is no traffic? My guess is that you have reversed the connections. Which is fine, but by default the leds will be on.

  @halo6 I use Domoticz instead of Vera, but the general idea should work. Add another child sensor to your parking sensor that is a binary switch. Maybe S_DOOR, V_TRIPPED or S_BINARY, V_STATUS. That switch gets presented to your controller. Then have the parking sensor listen for a message to that child ID and work normally if on or do nothing (but listen for messages) when off. In Vera, write a small script that turns on the new parking sensor switch when the garage door is open, and turns it back off again when the garage door is closed.

  I too have a Vera Plus and the firmware used is OpenWRT. That is the base linux that the Vera controllers are built on. I don't know if theUI for the Vera Edge is the same as the Plus, but on mine if you go to Settings > Firmware in the left menu, it should check if there are any firmware updates available. It's always best to run the latest firmware available.

  @korttoma Perfect. This is what I came up with in the end, and I have it triggering every minute. I needed the number rounded to the nearest whole number as the thermostat will not display a decimal value for the outside temp. local CurrentTemp= luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 26) luup.variable_set("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:LcdText1", "LcdText", string.format("%.0f", CurrentTemp), 365) Thanks a million.

  Martin, I don't run a sensenbender gateway, but I do have a vera plus with a regular gateway built with a pro-mini that I run as a serial gateway. First off, how do you have your sensenbender connected to your Vera? You mentioned that you tried the serial code on the sensenbebder gw. For that you need to connect to it with a USB to serial adapter such as an FTDI adapter. I have found that some serial port adapter chipsets do not work with the vera (at least on mine) such as the CH340 chipset versions. You need an actual FTDI or 2303 chipset version (I have used both on my vera plus). When you plug everything in and go to Apps > Develop apps > Serial Port Configuration, do you see a serial port showing in there? If so, what are your Baud, Parity, Data bits, Stop bits and Used by device settings?

  @homer Not sure why you would want your Echo devices to handle the scenes, why not have your Vera take care of that? You could use the native scenes section of Vera or even better, use the PLEG and PLTS plugins. I am not sure about the Vera 3 capabilities as I run a Vera Plus, but I would think if nothing else PLEG should work.

  @mfalkvidd Thank you. I forgot about that. Though, I'm curious if the sensor types that are supported by Vera work out of the box, or do they require some secondary/modified LUA scripting in order to function properly and display the data correctly?

  @komal-save not quite sure what you mean but if your device is already included you should not need to do anything to reconnect even if the gateway is temporarily unavailable but restarting your node should make it reconnect immediately. If your node has not been included then you need to use the inclusion procedure, red more here -> Vera Controller

  Hello Use the include procedure on the MYSensors Plugin Icon under settings you will see start and stop if all is working properly just press the start button you will see a dialog that tells you to activate the sensor you wish to add. If all goes correctly you will see a node added as well as the sensor. Now that is how it use to work with earlier Libraries if you are using 2.2 library I will presume it will work the same way.

  @johnrob What I meant was, wired nodes will most likely use an ethernet or RS485 gateway, if you wanted to go wireless with your nodes, you could use the serial gateway with an nRF24L01+ (which is what I am using) or an RFM69 or similar. There is also the ESP8266 route. So depending on how you want to connect your sensors to Vera will determine what gateway you will need. The MySensors site has a page on how to select a gateway. https://www.mysensors.org/build/select_gateway

  @bluezr1 said in How to remove a sensor from Vera (Newbie): Copy and paste this into your browser. Replace at the beginning (vera_lite_ip_address) with that of the IP address of your vera controller and change the numbers at the end (666) to that of the appropriate device you're trying to delete and hit enter. http://vera_lite_ip_address:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=666 Tested this last night a number of times and worked perfectly, thanks.

  Does anyone know why the three value are not show in the "data_request?id=lu_sdata" output? It only outputs default values: { "name": "MyMulti", "altid": "12;1", "id": 346, "category": 12, "subcategory": -1, "room": 0, "parent": 64 }, While i would expect { "name": "MyMulti", "altid": "12;1", "id": 346, "category": 12, "subcategory": -1, "room": 0, "parent": 64, "Impedance": 0, "Current": 0, "Voltage": 4.89 }, I'm looking for a solution quite some time now, but I somehow miss a problem.

  @nicomedia I stumbled on this doing a google search. Just wondering if you are still trying to get your Sonoff's working with your Vera controller? If so, I have written a blog post on the subject. It uses a different firmware called ESP Easy and an HTTP Switch plugin on the Vera rather than MySensors. but it works rather well for me. Here is the link to the blog post: https://dan.bemowski.info/2017/07/04/using-a-sonoff-with-espeasy-and-vera/ I use this in conjunction with some MySensors wall switches that I built. https://dan.bemowski.info/2017/06/11/my-start-into-open-source-hardware/

  does someone solved this fault also for Ethernet Gateway? While trying to adapt Sensebender Gateway to Ethernet, I get following messages: error: 'IPAddress' does not name a type IPAddress _ethernetGatewayIP(MY_IP_ADDRESS); error: 'EthernetServer' does not name a type EthernetServer _ethernetServer(_ethernetGatewayPort); followed by some more, expected to result from the above mentioned.

  I know this topic is old, but I was experiencing the same problem and figured I would respond to it with the fix to the issue. Just in case someone else comes to the forum with the same issue. To get the start/include button to work after you upload the files to vera (from the Mysensors Github Repo) using putty or terminal SSH into your pi and type sudo nano /home/pi/MySensors/examples_linux/mysgw.cpp when nano opens hit ctrl-w to search for "MY_INCLUSION" and then remove the // marks before #define to enable inclusion mode on your pi gateway. #define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE after that reboot and it should start to work. If you need to see what your gateway is doing I suggest enabling debug (Explained from the Pi Gateway installation from this site ... copied and pasted below for quick reference) When installed as a service, the output of the gateway will be directed to syslog in /var/log/syslog. If you want full debug output from the gateway to be logged to syslog (including serial protocol) you have to edit the following file: /etc/systemd/system/mysgw.service Add the -d parameter to the ExecStart line [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mysgw -d hit control+x to exit and it will ask you if you want to save hit y and then enter. Then reload the systemd process and restart the gateway sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart mysgw.service Now the output from the gateway can be monitored by tail -f /var/log/syslog Everything your Pi gateway is doing will be logged in real time in your putty or terminal window from the syslog file. Remove the -d from the /etc/systemd/system/mysgw.service file to remove all the debug info. When you enable debug you should be able to see that the gateway is listening for the children nodes. you may have to plug your children into your computer via usb and open arduino IDE and hit command+shift+M to open the serial monitor to see if your child node is working and broadcasting a signal properly.

  @riochicken I figured it out, i am using rpi3 and apparently a couple files in the mysensors folder needed to be edited. Now since you use vera when building the sensors are you making any special edits or just using defaults from the sketches. I see some people have sleep times and other small adjustments.

  @camadort Let me know if you have trouble. Someone else was emailing me about this issue and they mentioned this thread. I thought it was you, but it wasn't. I don't know if he got his going or not. Anyways, his email to me prompted me to do a blog post on my website about this topic. http://dan.bemowski.info/2017/07/04/using-a-sonoff-with-espeasy-and-a-vera-home-controller/ I have a link to the zip file with the three HttpSwitch files. These files have exactly what I posted above, but they are the actual files pulled from my vera in the event that you have trouble creating your own with the above code. It also has instructions on configuring both the device and the Vera side of things.

  @BartE I am running Vera UI5. The link from the MySensors 'Vera Controller' page, takes me to [https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/tree/master] which is plugin V1.5 (I think) Should I be using this or something later from the Development branch?

  I have just found and fixed this problem. I know it is very old but in the D_Multimeter1.json file there are 6 references to :arduino-cc: in the service fields - this all need to be replaced with :micasaverde-com: I have just loaded a pull request to the GITHUB repo to have this reflected in the master source but you can edit this and reload the LUUP file in Vera which will fix the problem.

  Thanks for your answers. Yes, I am using the Sensebender which does have its own native usb port of the Atmel ATSAMD21. I will contact Vera to get it working.... Meanwhile I added a W5100 chip to get it working over ethernet. This seems to be working for now as an alternative to a direct USB/Serial connection.

  As you confirmed you had your gw / sensors running on 2.x I gave it another try and started from scratch, and wiped the eeproms on both my gw and node. New Install of Arduino IDE, new MySensors Library install. I used the ethernet gw sketch example and a temperature sensor node sketch. This time it worked, I was able to finally include the sensor, what I can tell from the debug output communication seems to be working flawless. Even when cutting power from gw or sensor and powering up again communication is recovering. Now I will work on adapting my old sensor node sketch on lib 1.4 to new 2.1 requirements. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me get this going

  I have also noticed differences in the look and feel for MySensors devices on Vera. Here is the MySensors plugin device along with the Settings page from my VeraPlus and VeraLite: On the left is what it looks like on my VeraPlus and on the right is on my VeraLite test device. Same plugin versions and "same" firmware versions. The only difference is on which firmware version the plugins were installed. Have you @dbemowsk changed Vera firmware in between the creation of these devices that look differently?

  Thanks @Magnus! I'll order the one you linked to and see if that works better. I assume I can always use my current ones as base for sensors instead of a gateway. I'll order a ethernet shield as well, so I can try and build a ethernet gateway if my Vera Edge still doesn't recognize the new Nano. However, your sketch is not the same as the one in the getting started guide?

Still , there are 2 or 3 threads here on this forum saying they cab's get version 2.x to work with vera on Ui7. I have a spare vera lite on Ui7 I will try this version 2.x on the vera lite first. But it will be for next week. Thanks a lot so far!, Cor

  If you look at the FTDI chip, it should say PL2303 on it. Those are the only ones that I have gotten to work with my Vera. I do kind of wish that Vera would add support for the CH340s as those are another common USB to serial chip.

  I figured it out: there is a bug in UI7 where when I press the start button for inclusion mode it never stops and the manual stop button doesn't do anything. It took a lot of luup restarts at the right moment to get it to work. I don't know if this is a bug but I tried this on 2 Veras and it did the same so it's not just for me I think....

  @korttoma Thanks. I completely understand the need for family.I should have thought to link the two topics myself. So far, since changing the FTDI adapter things have been for the most part smooth. The only thing I am having an issue with is my thermostat bridge node. Details are in this thread if you have any suggestions.

  So it appears that the saga has been solved. The problem in fact WAS with the FTDI adapter. In all of the testing that I did I am guessing that the FTDI's receive data was working, but the transmit data was the issue. I put my spare FTDI on and Vera was detecting devices left and right. I think I am going to have to redo the inclusion because it said that there were 5 devices found, but nothing was added to Vera, but like I say, the devices did not appear to be presenting at the time. I want to say though that I appreciate all the time that people spent trying to help me get this going. This forum is a GREAT crowd of people.

  I had some trouble trying to add my new temp sensors using UI7 on my Vera Plus. I tracked the problem down to the J_OWServer.js file. The original was trying to use a Hash object which gave me errors in my Firefox browser. I made changes to use a plain javascript Object, and I can now add the sensors.

  I had the same problem. I deleted the (child) sensors, in order to recreate them with the latest version (2.0) When I tried to include them again they where not found. I found in the log (http://<vera-ip>/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP) that the devices where still there. In ALTUI I found the devices, removed them from there. After that I could include the sensors again. I am on a new Vera Plus 1.7.2138

  Yep. I think it's the default icon that's used when the JSON points to the wrong image, or the image is not available. Are you using UI7? Can you send me a screenshot of Temperature node? Maybe the XML/JSON behind it? I'd like to compare it to what I'm running.

  I'm not sure what is going wrong either. What firmware is used in your Vera? It sounds like you are unable to put Vera in inclusion mode from the MySensors Plugin device. But there is also some communication issue since there are 2 messages failing to be sent: 0;255;3;0;9;!TSP:MSG:SEND 0-0-4-4 s=255,c=3,t=25,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=fail:1 I_PONG 25 In return to ping, sent back to sender, payload incremental hop counter 0;255;3;0;9;!TSP:MSG:SEND 0-0-4-4 s=255,c=3,t=27,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=fail:1 I_REGISTRATION_RESPONSE 27 Register response from GW

  Update Finally after changing reed switch all works ! However , sometimes mysensors gateway stop responding (few weeks works fine), I try to ping Ip of the gateway and no have any reply, solution is power off gateway . It is possible to place the gateway (mysensors) to ping a network address and if it does not answer automatically make a restart and wait/limit to a restart every 20 minutes? (to prevent the restart loop)

  @Marshall It's always great to hear from people that their problems are solved. And it's also great that you were able to solve it on your own! I actually think that most things you'd wanna create are available through the build page. Since it's a pity to have one Arduino per sensors, the next step would be to try to combine some sketches. I mean Arduino's are relatively cheap. But if you use only 50% of their capabilities and would use another for another sensors, it will end up being more expensive than needed.

Finally I was able to reset the box with this help with SSH (using putty on windows) : http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=9949.0 After reset I upgraded the firmware to latest one and then take the settings from saved backup. It kind of works now, but I am still struggling to get MySensors Plugin updated.

  No roadmap for the Vera plugin at the moment. I_HEARTBEAT will be documented on the main site when 2.0 is released. @BartE has done a great job implementing new sensor types on Vera. Creating a new sensor type is a fun and pretty isolated development task. Additional maintainers is always welcome.

  I don't know which sketch you're using, but sure you should be able to control send frequency in the program (hard coded). There's also a possibility to request values from a senor from Vera (using lua code). But it means your sensor needs to be awake all the time and answer these requests. Basically you have to setup a function which listens to incoming messages from controller and answers them. Like the RelayAcutator example.

  The ESP gateway will send any incoming (radio messages) or locally sent messages on to the socket you have opened from the controller. The ESP gateway doesn't differ from the Ethernet variant in any way (from the controllers point of view).

  @hek Ahhh! Got it. Thank you. But can I use the original Gateway sketch with attached radio from the Master branch? My Serial gateway with a radio died this morning, which is why I started down this path. I figure if I have to start my Gateway from scratch I might as well try connecting my relays directly. Or do I have to re-install that library?

  I added what I call a "self-powered" USB hub on my VeraLite. This 4-port hub is powered off the Vera's 12VDC power plug so there are no extra power bricks or cords to deal with. Video below: https://youtu.be/K_hlMJ0q1Ok This in itself saves a few watts of power that would have been used by the separate wall wart for the hub (about 20KWH/year savings!). Ultimate goal for my Vera is to place it on my solar battery bank running off 12VDC power.

  Yes on the serial port, except the actual port number. This was filled in as 3481 by Vera. Apparently, that is not correct, based on the error message. (115200, 8, N, 1) Yes on U17, I think. I downloaded the zip file for U17 and extracted that, then uploaded.

  Already it resolved, in the end it was my mistake . had the power connected to the distributor of the lipho battery which has voltage variations (3,4 - 3,9V) When I connected the VCC and GND to the power outputs of the Arduino mini pro , it works perfectly . Thank you very much for the help. By the way, that way I can stabilize the energy that comes from the battery to the dealer to be constant? With a capacitor?

The problem I have is: which plugging should be used to let RGBW controller read the input from the anemometer and display the wind speed value in Km/h? I'm not a programmer and all my configurations applied to my veralite was using internet. I have spent lot of weeks looking for a solution but until this moment no progress achieved. Any support from your side will be very very appreciated. Thanks a lot.

  Hello, I'm having issues connecting to the Nano as well, I do have the FTDI branded chip but I'm still not able to communicate.. At the top of the Dashboard it just says "device not responding" and on my Devices page it says "can't detect device". I do have the My Sensors Plugin loaded and it appears on the Devices page.. The serial port is configured correctly... Is there any hints out there that may help me get this going?? Any help would be much appreciated.... Thanks!!

  I did manage to figure out a work around for this problem: I created a virtual switch called Dead Node Alert. This gives me a visual switch that shows if all nodes are responding or if one has failed to report. I then use PLEG and set two conditions: 1) compares last update vs. current time. If more than x seconds since ANY nodes have reported they flip the switch to off. 2) compares last update vs current time. If less than x seconds since ALL nodes have reported then its flips the switch on. So now I don't have to worry about stuff in my freezer spoiling if my temperature sensor does not respond and my freezer quits. Sure beats looking at all the last updates to make sure they are responding. If anyone needs example PLEG conditions or inputs let me know. It would be great if this were native to the plugin somehow!

  I'll admit a newbie at this. but I"m about beyond frustrated. I've been trying to get my "Vera Edge" Serial gateway up and running. I had it working, using a nano ATmega328 w/FTDI chipset. So that was great! All your posts were very helpful! So I decided to move forward and start building my sensors. The first sensor I built was a motion sensor also using a nano ATmega328. So I got it up and running, communicating with the gateway, and than the Vera controller dropped it and I kept get the same error message, Device not ready, "LUA Startup Failure. If you all have any another ideas on what could be causing this I could sure use your help! Thanks

  Het Dwalt, thanks for the link, followed the instructions ... but it didn't work for me. So Ive used the pinouts listed in the post (plus the ss line from pin d10 identified from the arduino-ethernet-shield-06-schematic.pdf ) with my nano. Then I linked up the ICSP and power lines up and ... hey presto i've got a functioning (if not a little spaghetti like) ethernet gateway. Thanks very much Simon

  I had problem with my Ethernet gateway for a long time being unstable (chronicled here -> http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1779/ethernet-gateway-unreliable-sort-of)... the radio communication with sensors would work fine, but the Ethernet stack would lock up periodically and lose communication to Vera, as well as ping, telnet, etc. I don't have the exact same setup you do (most specifically, I have a different Ethernet shield), but a couple of changes have really stabilized my gateway. I can still crash it, at will (mostly when trying to include new sensors), but If I leave it the hell along and don't mess with it, it will run for weeks or months without issue. The link below was a big part of stabilizing it, but may not be relevant to you with a different Ethernet shield, but the other thing that made a big difference for me was making sure I power my radio separate from the Ethernet shield. It seems that both could not be powered through the Arduino and remain stable. I don't know if the Arduino can't source enough current to support both when the radio is transmitting, or what, but someone else suggested powering the radio separately. So, I have a the shield powered (obviously) through the Arduino, but I power the radio separately outside the Arduino. That didn't fix everything, but it got a LOT more stable after that. Anyway - may or may not help you, but it did me. --Steve my network issue that may or may not apply to you..... http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/536/problems-with-enc28j60-losing-connection-freezing-using-uipethernet-or-ethershield-read-this/41

  @mfalkvidd I personally prefer to immediately correct the value when read from the dht: float temperature = dht.getTemperature() - 2.0; In case the dht returns a NaN value, this value will stay NaN even when 2.0 is substracted. But I didn't want to complicate things

  Its solved just by use an application called "day or night" from RichardTSchaefer( pleg guy) and the it only send values once(when night comes). If the sensor (mysensor) is made to send an value each 5minutes or so, vera random accept this value like if it's new, although its the same value as before. Ex:Like an notification when temperature is less than 35ºC, if i sensor sends 50 times and temp. keeps decreasing , during the night in 5minutes interval, 3 or 4 times i receive notifications saying : temp less than 35c... It how vera works, but i don't know why...

  @sundberg84 yes, you are right, CH340 chip works fine with arduino IDE but will not work with Vera Edge controller if you use it as serial gateway sketches, the reason is Vera Edge controller's build in USB driver not compatible with CH340 chipset. For those newbies like me, don't waste your time to check anything if you able to see your serial gateway in IDE serial monitor " Gateway started " . Adopted from the original poster Burtonian, I am able to make it work last night follow the information in there and use additional USB to TTL converter device with FTDI chipset something like this one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-FT232RL-FTDI-USB-3-3V-5-5V-to-TTL-Serial-Adapter-Module-forArduino-Mini-Port/32256920717.html , attach 4 wires from this add on USB converter to your Arduino Nano as follow: FTDI - USB Arduino Nano VCC ------------------------------------------ 5V GND ----------------------------------------- GND RXD ------------------------------------------- RXD TXD ------------------------------------------- TXD Connect USB cable from Vera Edge controller to USB port on FTDI - USB (not Nano). Check back on Vera plug-ins you will see you gateway is there. I'm able to connect from the first try. Hope is help for somebody still frustrated like me couple days ago . Thanks again Burtonian, I'm very appreciated.

  If your using PLEG you can add the BatteryLevel of the node as a device property input an use that to specify a condition for a notification.

  @BartE said: So the problem is NOT controlling the device, but having the RGBController to startup correctly as child. OK, here's my confusion: you can't have the Arduino plugin AND the RGBW Controller plugin both controlling the RGBW device. By definition, it is a child of the Arduino plugin and all functionality for that child device has to be provided by the parent. Are there, perhaps, some actions defined in the services or implementation file which are not, in fact, implemented by your additional code in the Arduino plugin?

  @Pseudomizer I think you might have a hardware problem, most likely a wiring or powering issue. To clarify terms, a 'node' represents your Arduino. The 'devices' include each sensor (or child devices) attached to the node as well as the node (the parent device) itself. If you have one temp sensor attached to your arduino, you should have two devices show up when you include them. However, the Dallas Temperature sketch works a little differently from most of the other device sketches in that it polls the number of DS18b20 attached before presenting them to the gateway/controller. First it presents the node to the controller: // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller gw.sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1"); ...and then it counts the dallas sensors and presents each one to the GW/controller: // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount(); // Present all sensors to controller for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) { gw.present(i, S_TEMP); As you only have the node (parent) being created when you include the node, the sketch apparently could not find any dallas sensors (child devices) when it looks for them or it was unsuccessful when trying to gw.present them. First thing to check is the serial log, what does it say when the node starts up? Does it attempt to gw.present the temp sensor? If not, check your wiring or try a different DS18b20. If it does attempt to present the sensor but fails, you should look at power as a potential problem. Do you have a capacitor on your radio? You could also try adding a short gw.delay in your setup between the device count and gw.present to allow the radio time to recover from presenting the sketch..

  Solved! It was a hardware problem - I didn't put caps on the radio on the gateway or RGB node originally. I added them and the node added perfectly. I guess I got lucky originally that even the 2 devices appeared on the first try.

  Serial: It probably works just fine, but I've always had a little trouble with serial devices on a Vera. UI7 Latest release: Yes, a disaster, but the previous version is good. ALTUI: Yes, it's excellent. Only difference UI5 vs. UI7 is the aforesaid house modes and the icons are a little different. MySensors plugin: I've modified it to be ALTUI friendly: currently it displays the IP address of the gateway, but I will add number of nodes and sensors - this seemed like the most useful information?

  Well by installing new batteries I was able to re-include the Sensebender board again but with the mother(?) node showing only The last update time and no name, lib, or Ver. After that Vera had an internal issue which I required Micsaverdre to reboot(?) my Vera. I will see when Vera is settled but at this point the old batteries were both at 1.45 volts

  I don't have any experience with iPhone, but I can confirm that the Vera app is horribly slow. When my Vera 3 was on UI5, that app was heaps quicker. I've recently took the plunge and upgraded to UI7, but the app for that is just too slow to be useful I reckon. I have an android phone and use Autovera which is instantaneous. I also have Imperihome running on an android tablet and it too is quick. My experience too is that it has made very little difference between communicating with a zwave switch or a Mysensors switch with regards to speed.

  'LastUpdate' is included for both nodes and child devices within the device properties under the 'advanced' tab. It is formatted in Unix time but can be converted to date/time with a simple converter. It would be nice to see the converted 'lastupdate' on each device homescreen with UI5. The ImperiHome app converts it to local time date under each device's details screen.

  I've learnt the same trick. Reload Luup from the serial config screen. After a couple of trials and then finding the UI7 on Github - all's working fine with my first light sensor. Now to building my solar HWS sensors. Thanks Hek for all your work and patience with everyone, a donation is on the way for you to buy a UI7 device. Cheers!

  @jeylites In option 2 you would be adding a startup script on your Vera that uses the luup.variable_watch function to wait for the event and then run a lua function that turns off your switch.

  I had the same problem... I just added the I_Arduino1.xml to the gateway as you suggested and it worked! Thanks. --Steve

  @mjunqueira What actuators sketch are you using? I manage to get it to work using My Sensor single button actuator relay from the library. I'm having problems using Multi Button array sketch.

  I have the same question too... Pin A4 & A5 is not define in the sketch, but pin A0 is. How does the node know which pins to grab the values from? Are we not using Pin A4 & A5? and What happens to pin A0?

  I have a Vera Edge and that is running fine. You need the latest Vera files from Github for updated UI.

  If you clear eeprom you have to remove node device also (which is tied to the id you're removing).

  I was looking for the same thing. I need to implement a status on the node depending on the status of a device on my Vera. But from what I can read we "only" can read last reported value from the controller. That does not guarantee that it's valid compared too current status in the Vera. Guess you might need to create a script on the vera that updates the status to the controller ?

  @hek I've been trying to get some buttons in the vera plugin but I've had not much luck. I addded some code to arduino.xml and arduino.json but nothing appears. I uploaded the files to the repo. Could you take a look when you have the time? S_Arduino.xml D_Arduino1.json L_Arduino.lua Yesterday I also made a new system for the nodes to have also a queue. Looks something like this: #include <MySensor.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <MyBuffer.h> ....... long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time buffer was processed long interval = 1000; // interval at which to check buffer MyBuffer buffer; // define a new buffer MySensor gw; .......... void setup() { .... sensor setup code.... } void loop() { gw.process(); unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) { previousMillis = currentMillis; processBuffer(); } } void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) { buffer.push(message.sensor,message.type); } //gets message from buffer if exists void processBuffer(){ if(!buffer.isEmpty()){ String msg=buffer.pop(); int mIndex = msg.indexOf(';'); int secondmIndex = msg.indexOf(';,', mIndex+1); String firstValue = msg.substring(0, mIndex); String secondValue = msg.substring(mIndex+1, secondmIndex); int sensor = firstValue.toInt(); int type = secondValue.toInt(); processMsg(sensor, type); } } //process message from queue void processMsg(int sensor, int type){ //do some stuff } It's pretty basic but it works. The library files are here: MyBuffer.h MyBuffer.cpp

  You cannot change the default Temp-device without affecting all of the same type (vera has no "override" functionality in their device definition files). So.. what you can do is to create a new device type used by the Arduino plugin. Here is some documentation of the files needed. http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_plugins:_Static_JSON_file (http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Category:Development) And this is where you set your own: https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/blob/master/L_Arduino.lua#L55

  @Salmoides said: Be very careful. You'll get hooked on this stuff like we are and you'll have sensors and controllers all over the place. It never ends. We can't stop ourselves. You will dream up new circuits in your sleep. Ouch, that soldering iron is hot! There's always something being shipped from China. What am I going to do with the other 99 diodes in that little bag? That rosin smells different than the last roll of solder. Gee, I need one of those fancy bench multi-meters. Aww smack, I dropped that screw again! Yes dear, I'll have dinner ready once I finish this sketch. You'll go to bed and then ask yourself if you turned the soldering iron off. Be careful. You've been warned. Haha, yeah I'm already there with my home automation stuff, plus all the equipment from my audio production stuff.. I have too many hobbies. The wife's pet peeve is that there's constantly crap on the dining table.

  @brettzky84 said: Im using the serial gateway on u17 and have it working fine. i have the same problem as you when my vera is rebooted or powered off, but found 2 solutions. 1 with the vera on disconnect then reconnect the serial gateway. wait 10seconds refresh the dashboard page. Then go to app/ developer apps/ serial connection. Reset your baud rate to 115200??... Thansk. I ended up upgrading to the latst UI7 beta. My gateway is now working!!! Let's see how stable it is. (UI7 has fixed some of my other issue too)

  It should heal after a few failed transmissions (from sensor).
