Troubleshooting

@korttoma I'm using MySensors 2.0.0, which was the default when I downloaded using the Arduino IDE's library manager. I'll probably linger here a while until i learn all of the MySensors abstractions. It is nice and easy now. I'm using Arduino 1.8.2, which is almost C++ 11. I really like the latest version, I'll just keep using the AVR Boards 1.6.11 for my MySensors projects. @peterjackson set me straight, and all is working well. I'm up and running with all of the MySensors nodes I've built. It is a drag updating some of my devices; many were not built for easy access to the USB serial connectors. I have only myself to blame for that. I'd been working mainly with WiFi devices lately, but they get expensive if all you want is basic functionality, the MySensors backbone is perfect. Built any cool projects lately?

@Dominic-Bonneau In 2.0 it was just called getConfig. Change this float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.; to this float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.; and you shouldn't get that error. Can't say for sure you wont get others though.

@mfalkvidd Sorry for not being smart enough to know that. I read the how to post, and have a list of barely acceptable excuses as to why I didn't figure that out prepared-in case you're interested! :) Also, I unzipped a backup's script.sql, and it showed me all the possibilities: [...] (58, 'S_HVAC', 'V_HVAC_SPEED'), (59, 'S_MULTIMETER', 'V_VOLTAGE'), (60, 'S_MULTIMETER', 'V_CURRENT'), (61, 'S_MULTIMETER', 'V_IMPEDANCE'), (62, 'S_SPRINKLER', 'V_STATUS'), [...]

This is my change and it is working, thank you for your help. /** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters.

Well guess it was a bug. Removed some of the include libs. Deleted serial output and ... it worked. Now one more thing to solve but i guess that's another story

thank you very much boots33 and mfalkvidd finaly wor also learn a lot on this example, its time now to try with relays i will add 2 relays that i can triger with switch or controler my working code for switch: /** The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.

@gieemek Glad to hear it's working. I don't think SoftSPI needs to be atomic in its transactions the same way hardSPI does, so you're probably not missing anything important.

Not sure if this will help, but some time back I built a motion sensor setup to control a flood light for my driveway. The node has a lux/LDR sensor for light/dark, relay and a motion sensor. The idea with that node was that the light would turn on if motion was detected and if it was dark enough. You mat be able to go through the code and take out the motion sensor parts and just use the light sensor and relay code. Here was my writeup on the project. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5243/driveway-motion-light

@mpp said in Ping Pong with ESP8266 results in !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY [solved]: So now the node is sending data but there's no ack/Invalid message length.. @gohan they're all HW, yes. I tested with single wire and coil antenna's. Atm I'm testing with authentic Moteino's with single wire. They all result in !TSM:FPAR:FAIL. Any progress on this front? I got the exact same things as the log you posted; loads of NACK's. Checked/replaced radios, antennes and caps ..

I never understod how the millis() -part worked so I just changed it to a simple countdown instead.

Or use a level shifter.

@sundberg84 nah just prrof of build at the moment...ill fix them with my proper node ID's when it's build time....waiting on step up's at the moment..... they seem to take a while when you find them cheaper

For alarm you need to create a rule in Openhab that when value goes over a certain value it sets of the alarm

"#define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 100" worked indeed ! An error-handling is better but this is already nice, my prototype is running now with and without Mysensor-gateway active. I will look at the error led option too, Thanks !! ;-) Arthur

The RPI becomes an ethernet gateway.

Request is the way to go as far as i know. You also need to implement the method handling incoming messages though to work with the answer. There are some threads about requesting values from domoticz in this forum. (Haven't read them) but imo there are some values that can't be requested from domotizc so better check that and maybe change the variable type.

No, of course not.

@Fl0rian exactly. To do that you would need a rtc, or use smartsleep, depending on your use case.
