Troubleshooting

i investigated further: i have 2 gateways, both dev version, one from today, the other one about 2 weeks old I tried the relay sketch (newest dev version) - gave it an ID trough my ethernet gateway --> directly after connecting the relay sensor both ESP gateway crash - no fault messages in serial monitor DId anybody try the wifi gateway together with a repeater ?

Thanks for the advice. I ended up troubleshooting my wiring and figured out the problem. I was getting 3.3V on the nano pin but the wire to the radio was only at 1.1V. A little resolder at the 3.3V pin fixed the issue, must have been a loose connection. The LEDs immediately lit up and the inclusion process worked perfectly, so I am back up and running! Time for my next project...

@nikolian said: hello i have the same problem i tried different power source... (le33,ftdi3.3, 3.3 v of arduino uno ) but nothing... i have tried Decoupling-Capacitor and again nothing. also i have triple check the wires. but nothing. my radio is nrf24l01+ and works (ihave tested it to my gateway) my board is arduino pro mini 3,3 thanks I had the same problem, but I also found out that it is the lux meter itself. When there is no or almost none sunlight it simply does not send any data and it feels like it does not work.. if you're testing, do it in daylight and have patience. At the end everything did work for me, also with a powersupply of 5v. The one thing I found strange. I connected a 9v battery to the sensor. The lux meter drained it within 3 days, so I find that extremely fast.. I hoped it was usable with a battery, unfortunetaly it does not.

@TommySharp Very nice, hope you realize you have started on a long journey :-) But try to modify the original sketch, it works really well and will save you a lot of work.

@Yveaux I already did! https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/pull/396

@JasonV signing assumes an ideal radio link. Transmission problems needs to be handled by the transport layer. Signing won't work if that is not working. As for debugging, you have the DEBUG_SIGNING flag. See the MySigningAtsha204Soft.cpp (I assume you use soft signing).

Oh, maybe that's exactly the case: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/MQTT-Binding#item-binding-configuration-for-inbound-messages It writes: direction: This is always "<" for inbound messages. So, having those 3 arguments in the original version: ">[mysensor:mygateway1-in/20/2/1/0/2:command:ON:1]" ">[mysensor:mygateway1-in/20/2/1/0/2:command:OFF:0]" "<[mysensor:mygateway1-in/20/2/1/0/2:command:MAP(1on0off.map)]" " I think it means: outbount to turn ON outbount to turn OFF INBOUND to check So, I need to change 'mygateway1-in' to 'mygateway1-out'. This would explain why I was going in loop. I THINK AT LEAST. I'll give a try this evening. Simon

I tried both gateway and node sketch and it worked. I then uploaded the mysensors.org gateway sketch version 1.5,1.6 and 2.0. None worked. Formatted and reinstalled domoticz. Tried both stable and beta. No change. I am giving up on this for tonight.

Are you using the 115200 baud rate (I guess you are)? Try lowering the baud rate down to 38400 if you are running on 8 MHz. On 1 MHz you may need to go down to 4800. Well, this doesn't explain why you get total garbage, but at 115200 you get corrupted characters every once and a while, frequently enough to make serial transfer from PC to Arduino a mess. See these tables: http://wormfood.net/avrbaudcalc.php?postclock=8&hidetables=1 http://wormfood.net/avrbaudcalc.php?postclock=1&hidetables=1 For the same reason you can't use Sensebender or Pro Mini 3.3V as the serial gateway, unless you set the baud rate down to something like 38400.

Thanks for the anwser. Sorry for the noise, it was some weak soldering issue on the gateway. Worked the whole night, but broke around noon today. It's now fixed and works. Mikael

@gregl thanks for that I will give the MQTT client gateway a try. Yes it makes sense now why I can't see the MQTT gateway in the router, quite new to this so it a bit of a learning curve. Thanks again. Regards, George

This box I used good quality but a bit to small for me. http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1993296858.html

Hello, Two things : first, the atmega chip was due to bad low fuse setting. secondly, I had some luck when reverting to 1.5.1 and got a value on domoticz because the problem came back quickly. I tested my setup with 2 others ds18b20 temp sensors and it worked with only one of them. I checked again the DHT22 on my other sensor node (an arduino nano) and it works. It seems to me that my board has some issue, and one of those temp sensor is tolerant to it (I believe the other one works but I should check that). I Checked the voltage with my multimeter and it is 3.3v as it should. But I'm not experimented on electronics and I could have done some basic mistake. Would someone have any idea ? Regards Mikael

@Mixeur [image: 1454875050465-upload-1a3e50aa-5e84-4235-9f46-77db31dad43a] start of a difficult journey .... i finally changed the relays for SSD types. your sketch looks pretty straightforward.

@sundberg84 I updated MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS from 1 to 4 in MyConfig.h This might help with you secondary controller issue.

I don't think Bounce2 works when you're sleeping. Why not use a simple interrupt to trigger wake up? Like in this example: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/MySensors/examples/BinarySwitchSleepSensor/BinarySwitchSleepSensor.ino

ouch, i need to look in to that, but then it might me true the board is damaged... (Some other sketches seem to report data to the serial monitor, but i am not sure if the RFM69HW module is working.)

It appeared my radio module wasn't functioning......:angry: The nano gateway works perfect now.......:relieved: Thank you, TheoL, for your reactions!

@lafleur Thank you, I will try it right in the gateway code. I'm using the NRF24L01+ radios and I have not seen any noticeable difference in the range. Mind you I never tried to see how far I can go when I was using a serial gateway, but for now all my sensors work as they did with the serial gateway.

@mfalkvidd, I checked using the multimeter. In diode mode, I have 400 ohm between fdti and vcc. When powered a 0.4v drop. So both vcc's are not direct connected. Still strange it works OK with the 4.4v on the radio and not with 4.9 At least we have now an idea what It's a deek robot clone. https://arduino-board.com/boards/dr-pro-mini
