Controllers

Although it should not be too difficult to make the MQTT Gateway with WiFi work on hardware and software level it is a bad idea on system level: WiFi and MySensensor NRF24L01+ use the same 2.4 GHz band and with the antennas close a transmit from one will block the other and vice-versa.

Just curious! Has anybody done any implementations of MySensors Controller on TheThingBox, especially the people who are interested in Raspi controllers!?! TheThingbox looks very promising and so does Node-Red.

Hello Kurt Sorry I can´t help you with your question but I´m trying to install Mongodb in the Edison board. Can you please give me any hint on how to install it? Many thanks

@Mickey It is mainly for testing OTA updates (POC).

@bpair My apologies for misunderstanding, last couple of months i heard that exact same sentence but with a different meaning you gave it. Limiting possible, all though it has been running with 50+ devices and tests with multiple pi's connected are going well. Especially on the quad core pi2. That would certainly be a nice thing! All though i think the roadmaps and primary goals are quite different where the base is the same, connect things. It is very difficult to choose a right controller for education as there are an enormous amount of resources. An example would be the Bendoobox (from a dutch company, (i do not know if there is any mysensors support for it)) which is aiming at education. I think aimed at 12, 13, 14 year olds (average). It would be nice if there are more like these solution and hopefully for your goals.

I faced similar issue and @TMRh20Projects replied in arduino forum. My issue was beacuse of cheap NRF modules chinese clones. After I replaced with good genuine ones, everything worked like a charm. Please check the NRF modules you are using. I wasted three days to figure out if there was some code issue, when at the end it was the NRF which created all the mess

@hek said: @antoine-magnier There is no MySensors plugin for Zibase (that I know about). Might be easier to ask someone in the Zibase community to help you develop a connector/plugin. or even ask support from the supplier for them to improve this picture :) (http://www.zodianet.com/images/stories/ZIBASE.png)

Hi made a Google search and found a fork of RF24 that supports Arduino Due https://github.com/mcrosson/RF24/commit/ac05a9d8f755dcc7ff12b7e08021f62c0b5f3543 http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=62222.150 But it seems not integrated into the official github repo

Not much MySenors in your setup. You might wanna try the FHEM forum.

@mainali In my view your can distinguish between controller and gateway by understanding each other main function For the controller the main function is scene management while for the gateway the main function is a route between radio sensors and the controller. Because raspberry is a multitasking thing it should be possible to run opneHAB and ethernet gateway on the same hardware simultaneously. But I'm not sure is it any existing case of a such.

@diamantmatch you are right. Maybe somehow I can change current driver to work with serial interface. But Raspberry costs only 30$ and consumes couple of W - ideal HW for server. And you do not even need additional gateway. Right now I will focus on developing other new functions...

@daulagari said: Okay, clear, thanks! No problemo :)

It sounds perfect ! I ever use noip for my ip camera. What about vocal control from the android app ?

Hi @rdevine, 1, 2, 3 look fine to me.\ On: The controller that will receive the information will be a Raspberry Pi 2.0 Model B 512MB. On the controller I am uncertain as to the software that will be placed on the controller. There is some debat about terminology but I think most people on this forum agree that the controller is something like Vera, OpenHAB, DomotiGa, PiDome etc. For the whole list (answer to #5), see all entries under Select Controller. Many of these controllers can run on your Raspberry. Between the controller and the sensors is the gateway, see under Select Gateway. Before you ask why the Raspberry can not be a gateway, see Port of MySensors Library 1.4 to Raspberry or do a search for Raspberry but for sure a Arduino gateway will be the simplest.

Nope. If you have time and knowledge it would be a fun addition. One idea is to add a BT/WIFi module to the GW or a sensor and use that as com-link to the sensor network from phone. Unless you go for the controller options available (where some of them offer phone apps to control sensor already).

I used the instructions from this video and everthing working fine :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPdSKT6KdF8

So I did use some time to implement a gw with local sensors. And to be honest I gave up.. The existing code is awesome and don't have that much room to implement it. I did make some progress, but all that would be undone with an update. So compared to the time it took me to wire up an Arduino Pro Mini with humidity and temperature sensor(20min) and the cost of it. My life is to short:) /M
