Vera

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.

@dylan.balloo the build section (https://www.mysensors.org/build ) has all sketches for the MySensors project, including the serial gateway https://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_gateway

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.

I figured out that deleting all parts of the device, clearing the eeprom and running inclusion again worked.

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 have made changes to that file and have a copy of it in my github repo.

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.

Ok, great! Hopefully the ethernet problems will be sorted out

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

@GRB Super! Let us know if the final verification with an actual sensor works and feel free to ask questions if it doesn't.

@BartE Sorry Bart somehow I posted this as a topic instead of a reply but here is the thread https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4387/ui5-mysensors-library-2-0-gateway-issues/7

UPDATE Vera support was able to fix it :-)

@4Crawler Was not aware of this module, most likely will need it is as well. I am looking to motorize my existing blinds, We have a ton of blinds at my place and would like to automate a portion of them. Thanks

I actually do not have anything in the interface for setting the mode. I just use a simple lua command: luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_1", value=1}, 24)

@hek , maybe you could help to do that more right? And I think that this should be added to GitHub as a bug for 2.0.1-dev lib version (don't have an account on git)

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)

Hi pbcstudios, I'm still on 1.5 too. I use the following (works fine with me): #define R_NODE_NR 9 // defines node nr #define R_ROUTE_TO 4 // defines to which repeater data will be send void setup() { gw.begin(NULL,R_NODE_NR,true,R_ROUTE_TO); //send data to repeater R_ROUTE_TO } Good luck with it BR, Boozz
