Troubleshooting

I did get this code to compile... I am going to test with this over the weekend. // Simple binary switch example // Connect button or door/window reed switch between // digitial I/O pin 3 (ZONE_1 below) and GND. #include <Sensor.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <EEPROM.h> #include <RF24.h> #include <Bounce2.h> #define ZONE_1 14 // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch #define NUMBER_OF_ZONES 6 Sensor gw; Bounce debouncer_1 = Bounce(); Bounce debouncer_2 = Bounce(); Bounce debouncer_3 = Bounce(); Bounce debouncer_4 = Bounce(); Bounce debouncer_5 = Bounce(); Bounce debouncer_6 = Bounce(); int oldValue_1 =-1; int oldValue_2 =-1; int oldValue_3 =-1; int oldValue_4 =-1; int oldValue_5 =-1; int oldValue_6 =-1; void setup() { gw.begin(); for (int i=0; i<NUMBER_OF_ZONES;i++) { // Setup the button pinMode(ZONE_1+i,INPUT); // Activate internal pull-up digitalWrite(ZONE_1+i,HIGH); // After setting up the button, setup debouncer switch (1+i) { case 1: debouncer_1.attach(ZONE_1); debouncer_1.interval(5); break; case 2: debouncer_2.attach(ZONE_1+i); debouncer_2.interval(5); break; case 3: debouncer_3.attach(ZONE_1+i); debouncer_3.interval(5); break; case 4: debouncer_4.attach(ZONE_1+i); debouncer_4.interval(5); break; case 5: debouncer_5.attach(ZONE_1+i); debouncer_5.interval(5); break; } // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices) // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in below. gw.sendSensorPresentation(ZONE_1+i, S_DOOR); delay(1000); } } // Check if digital input has changed and send in new value void loop() { for (int i=0; i<NUMBER_OF_ZONES;i++) { int num = 1+i; // Get the update value switch (num) { case 1: { debouncer_1.update(); int value_1 = debouncer_1.read(); if (value_1 != oldValue_1) { // Send in the new value gw.sendVariable(ZONE_1+i, V_TRIPPED, value_1==HIGH ? "1" : "0"); // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation above oldValue_1 = value_1; } break; } case 2: { debouncer_2.update(); int value_2 = debouncer_2.read(); if (value_2 != oldValue_2) { // Send in the new value gw.sendVariable(ZONE_1+i, V_TRIPPED, value_2==HIGH ?

"1" : "0"); // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation above oldValue_3 = value_3; } break; } case 4: { debouncer_4.update(); int value_4 = debouncer_4.read(); if (value_4 != oldValue_4) { // Send in the new value gw.sendVariable(ZONE_1+i, V_TRIPPED, value_4==HIGH ? "1" : "0"); // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation above oldValue_4 = value_4; } break; } case 5: { debouncer_5.update(); int value_5 = debouncer_5.read(); if (value_5 != oldValue_5) { // Send in the new value gw.sendVariable(ZONE_1+i, V_TRIPPED, value_5==HIGH ? "1" : "0"); // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation above oldValue_5 = value_5; } break; } case 6: { debouncer_6.update(); int value_6 = debouncer_6.read(); if (value_6 != oldValue_6) { // Send in the new value gw.sendVariable(ZONE_1+i, V_TRIPPED, value_6==HIGH ? "1" : "0"); // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation above oldValue_6 = value_6; } break; } } } }

That seems to be the case. If I shutdown the controller, the sensor node does not see the extra replies from the gateway. Thanks

Hello, I have the same issue here with libraries 1.3b3 link text I've setted in the temp sensor the node it, commented the metric line in the sensor too. Now when I flash, I have a receive timeout (they are close within 10cm): 0;0;4;11;Relaying message back to gateway. 0;0;4;11;Tx: fr=0,to=0,la=0,ne=0,ci=255,mt=4,ty=13,cr=52: 0;0;4;11;Ack: receive timeout

Hello, good news, it works but here is the solution: ide 10.3 to 1.0.5 fails to work. 1.5.6r2 works but the sketch directory is now called Arduino, and then it works...just select port to ttyACM0 and not COM1 !

I've tried everything I can think of to get the sensor nodes to talk to the relay node with no luck. Since this thread has become more about relay node troubleshooting and less about documentation I'll move to the following thread: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/132/relaying-node#922

@Tang It's usable with the dev-branch of the vera plugin (small changes in behavior and enumeration of internal commands which probably will mess things up in the agocontrol plugin). ***General comment: I cannot give any support on development-branch as it is under development and things might change fast and without any notice. ***

Hello again, My sensor node had the radio module too close to the arduino so I thought it might cause interference. I modified it a bit putting the radio 3-4cm away and with the antenna up and it started working like a charm. The problem I have now is that I don't have a node module on vera's interface. I have only the lightswitch. Tx: fr=3,to=0,la=3,ne=0,ci=3,mt=2,ty=2,cr=13: Ack: received OK Message available on pipe 1 Sent ack msg to 0 Rx: fr=0,to=3,la=0,ci=3,mt=3,t=2,cr=134(ok): 0 Message addressed for this node. Message available on pipe 1 Sent ack msg to 0 Rx: fr=0,to=3,la=0,ci=3,mt=1,t=2,cr=55(ok): 1 Message addressed for this node. Relaying message back to gateway.

Relaying message back to gateway. Tx: fr=3,to=0,la=3,ne=0,ci=3,mt=1,ty=2,cr=123: 0 Ack: received OK Incoming change for relay on pin:3, New status: 0

I change this line to Ethernet.begin(mac); my roots issued an IP address

ARF!!!!!!! 3 years i use Arduino and i have never pay attention to this line... :-( Thanks!

@petewill That got it, thanks

@Markus-Tenghall Hope you'll have lots of fun!

@BulldogLowell said: I have been powering the ProMini with 5V (connect to to the RAW pin) so I can power the sensors at 5V and output 3.3V to the radio. The ProMini... you have to respect that little guy for all it can do, including PWM on 6 pins. Great stuff, you just have to get used to felling like Gulliver in Lilliput when you are working on them. Hmm, I was already looking forward to receiving them. Now even more!

@petewill said: I have not put a capacitor between 3.3v and ground on the radio chip though. Is that what you're referring to? What version are you running that is working for you? Thanks! Yeah, putting the capacitor on the radio chip... it really improved the reliability of the radio, in my experience. I'm running libraries as attached: like you I don't want to have to do any sketch upgrades on the sensors. [image: upload-3bb3eb77-a058-4152-b664-551b6fc014f5.png]

Yes, all variables are cleared before I re-use them which is completely obsolete even because they are defined in the method and the method is called from within a/the loop. I will ask the Indigo gurus about this...

@NotYetRated I've been doing the same stuff, creating multi-sensors, making mistakes like that are part of it. I'll post some when I'm back. Fun stuff.

@hari DOH, that was it. Thanks!

Yep tried with decoupling capacitor, i didn't had 4,7 at home but tried with 2,2 and 10, nothing, Triede with 2 uno, one mega and one diecimila and 2 nano's and 11 nrf24l01 (one with external antenna). And no matter what i try, i can only get 3 boards/antenna's to work... So i have ordered some new antenna's and will buy 4,7 decoupling capacitor's soon...

@MisterE Good! If you try the "broken" radio with a capacitor it will probably work fine.

the sensor.h was in the good directory but i installed again the arduino software and now everything works great Thank you
