Troubleshooting

Thanks all for the advice. I cleared the eeprom and pushed the sketch again. The arduino does get a new device_id so that worked. After unplugging it from power and putting it back on I got the same message however and no readings. I found however that another sensor I have that is working and sending readings also gives a 'child_id already exists warning' when I powercycle it. So now I am thinking that the warning is normal behaviour when an already registered sensor comes back online. Than I compared the serial output in de log parser (amazing what a handy thing that is) with output from a working sensor. I noticed that everything looks the same upto the the line Callback setup() My not working sensor gave no more output after that but the working sensor continued by sending a reading and going to sleep. So I suspect there is something wrong with the sensor or sketch causing it to never correctly initialize.

My gateway is a serial gateway built with an easy newbie PCB and a pro mini. What I did when I upgraded my 1.4 setup to 2.0, I pulled my pro mini that I had flashed with the 1.4 setup and put a new pro mini in that had 2.0. That way if there were any problems, I could easily swap the 1.4 pro mini back in to easily be back where I started. Likewise when replacing your library, pull the MySensors folder out of your arduino libraries folder to keep as a backup until you know things will work. That way if you have to revert back, you can easily swap back the old MySensors folder. You have to completely remove it from the libraries folder though, you can't just rename it to something else.

well, if you are willing to make your alarm system to use Mysensors we would be very happy to help and learn from other people experience :)

@Heizelmann My answer also presumed using sleep() in the main loop, but to combine it with a seperate ISR. This concept seems to work, at least this was my conclusion when reading the mentioned PulseCounter-sketch, that can be configured as sleeping or non-sleeping node. But I may be wrong, all my nodes are on power supplies until now...

@rejoe2 Right... :-) I may look into this. For now I will try to get a stable version and load it without bootloader directly via usbasp...

Ok, spent half the day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and all I had to do was read the forum. The radios I purchase were junk. Not one of the 10 worked. Had everything placed on a board figured my workmanship was a little off or something. The radio was last to be checked. WOOOOOOWWWWO Thanks Everyone this post saved me a lot more time.

sorry i found . spi was disable in now raspbian. but now i have problem in domoticz: [image: 1505122166351-untitled.jpeg]

Great work @korttoma Thanks for reporting back!

@MiKa this is not supported by default by the library. Using the indication callback however, it is possible. Have a look at this project to get some inspiration: https://www.openhardware.io/view/349/MySensors-ESP8266-MQTT-gateway

ok thank you. but i have a new problem... i think just move domoticz.log to ram driver. but report of sensors in mysensors... where these is save?:/ i think report of mysensors can not write... now in domoticz log i can not see report.. also i chack var/log memory after 1 day.when i send command for turn on light (alot command) memory of var/log increase.but 1 day i dont send any command and i wait for increase memory with report sensors but dont increase.what is problem? when i change your setting to defult work and i see report of sensors. [image: 1505027225766-lklklklk.jpeg] and this is memory of log after one day. sensors was sending report to controller for 1 deys but before memory was 1304 and now is 1304...

Doesn't seem to use the MySensors library.

@rejoe2 I'm assuming the Wifi is the best solution, but if RF868 would be better I'll look at it again. I also have a couple Xbee module Series 1, could you start something else? Perhaps also an idea add Xbee to the Mysensor API. regards ThomasD

@royson84 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Accuracy-BME280-Digital-Sensor-Temperature-Humidity-Barometric-Pressure-Sensor-Module-GY-BME280-I2C-SPI-1/32672210336.html This is what I got. Keep in mind that bme280 tends to report temperatures 0.7/0.8C higher than actual, so make a comparison and add a temperature offset in code

@NeverDie said in PIR Sensor false trigger every 10 minutes, same time node comes out of sleep.: IIRC, bypassing its LDO may help? I've actually already done that, to reduce power consumption. I'm running some tests now. It really looks like the 2.2.x version of the MySensors library helps. On my test piece, it has not had a false trigger in over an hour.

You could still try a PA LNA module with ipx antenna and bring antenna outside of the box, metal should be flexible enough to let the cable get out on one side. And no need to activate pa/lna mode so it can live longer on battery.
