Troubleshooting

So, now I replay with 255:255:3;0;4;1 instead of 255;255;3;0;4;0 and when I get the request 1;10;2;0;3;1.4.1 Yes I think node-id 0 should not be used.

The sensor is requesting an address from the gateway. Either set an address in yoursensor sketch, or send the appropriate response from the gw to the sensor, to assign an address. Search the forum (i'm on my mobile at the moment so can't write that much) /Thomas

@hek Thank you! It looks like it's working. The relay is now talking directly to the GW. The 2 right-side temp sensors however, are now using the relay node as a repeater :P I can live with that (still working as designed) only thing now, is that I think I have a faulty wirering connection to the radio on the relay node. After a while it goes "offline", but the fun part is that if I powercycle it, it's back online.

I think this is officially sort of solved now. Changed the sensor code so it only asks for VAR1 four times, then starts doing its job. Sure there are other implications but I was just too impatient. [image: upload-1c50ea70-9ab0-4450-ba82-0ba874c1e3a5.jpg] Still a lot of unknowns in this equation, but at least to my surprise, Domoticz did have some sort of intelligence built-in and seems to automatically start with a fresh counter every day. I was worried I'd have to schedule something in Python to store and subtract "old kwh". Though this makes it even more pressing that I get communication between the gateway and sensor working so I can send back the pulseCount after a reset or some such.

Hi. Thank you all for advice. I have tried ceramic caps on small 24l01 but no success. I have not tried battery supply yet, but I will when time allows it. I installed 1.4.1 version, but did not see any difference... I continue to use NRF24L01+PA+LNA. Will change to small 24L01 when I achieve success. For my bench supply I use old PC ATX supply unit. I use 12V. Both Mysensor-units get voltage from 12V to their RAW pin. 12V also goes to my KIS-3R33S modules and 3V3 afterwards via 47uF elco to NRF. In both sketches I use delay(1000) as the first command for the NRF power supply to settle(?!?) then I use gw.begin... There is something new. If my hand is close to antenna of button/relay-sketch-unit (10cm or closer), the TX/RX is better (i.e. working). No difference if I touch gateway unit. Any idea? Maybe the whole problem is interference... ADDED: I have tried battery supply. Instead of 12V from old ATX PC supply I have tried 9V battery. There is no difference. Amplified NRF communication is 100% if both LNA units are used. If I mix them, or use only small 24L01+ all I get is "fail". Rok

so... how could have I missed that HIGHLIGHTED AND BOLDFACED in the MySensors API? thanks Henrik!

@bjornhallberg Google a bit. There are multiple posts on the net of Arduino's getting stuck in watchdog reboots because it fires and doesn't get disabled correctly on startup. Some bootloaders handle this situation better then others. Only question is why the watchdog timer would trip...

So, connected less protocol (Http,udp,..) couldn't be used with this basis sketch. As i'm looking for a Http interface with Imperihome , i'm interrested by any idea about how to. Thanks

Thanks! With new version library such problem isn't present. Spam isn't present :)

Not 100% sure what you mean with "an alimentation issue" but apart from signal quality it could be also that the clocks of your gateway and computer are not matching. Does the Pro Mini have a Xtal or is it running from the internal oscillator?

Thanks for all the info all But still have the problem with vera3 on ui7 Cribben, I follow the instructions on the my sensor vera plugin and it comes up with ver 1.3 and no lib # how did you get the new plugin to load Any help at all would be welcome as ui7 is not too smooth yet.

@korttoma Took your advice about including to get node and it worked! Also when the node appeared in Vera I noted my termp sensor was now reporting in farhrenheit! Thank you!

Thank you very much! I've ordered a breadboard and will try to get it running when I received it :-)

That "check wires" means its not going to work....so better check the wires again! Note that the pins for connecting the radio on a Ethernet gateway are different than any other of your sensors! http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway Re the IRQ connection - i believe this is still un-used on gateway. ( might be worth trying connecting it to D2 just in case...)

@Yveaux OK, I think that this is not how it goes. I moved a sensor from repeater 1 to repeater 2 without seeing it show up anymore. After removing the parent and the distance values from the eprom (what does the distance vaue say btw) the sensor showed up again using the new repeater.

im going to need to dig futher, its working as i would expect via serial in windows now, looks like a linux issue, it can read the serial port, but cant seem to write to it..

Don't know if it's the same problem but I found out the hard way that it's not possible to upload something to a Nano (or maybe all boards with USB) when BOTH the USB and the serial port (directly via TXD/RXD) are connected to a computer. The IDE says amongst others that "programmer is not responding". So make sure to disconnect the TXD/RXD connection from your computer before uploading something via the USB-connection. If this is not the problem you have then I don't know what else can cause your problem...
