Troubleshooting

Thank you for quick response works perfect :thumbsup:

Hello rejoe2 I think it's enough for me as well for now. Thanks for the support! :) Simon

Thank you for the information tekka, I appreciate it. That is what I gathered from the thread about MYSController but I wasn't totally sure.

Thanks heaps @Hek and @petewill I didn't realise that without the controller running I will not get a node id. I thought incorrectly the node id came from the gateway. I booted up MYSController and it now works as expected. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.. cheers until next time.

@gohan No my electricity meter has a IR led. But during my tests I actually used a regular red led and that worked too with the Light/IR receiver I use. : ) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-pcs-LM393-Light-Sensor-Photosensitive-Sensitivity-light-Sensor-Module-For-Arduino-Smart-Car/1729424221.html

@AWI If node requests time and values before going to sleep, it will receive them upon return from smartSleep? void loop() { requestTime(); request(1, V_STATUS); request(2, V_STATUS); smartSleep(200); } void receive(const MyMessage &message) { ... } void receiveTime(unsigned long ts) { ... }

@hek That was it. Got node registered after clearing with 0xff. Thanks a lot! :joy:

Did you add an attachment? Can't see anything. I tried various combinations, if I add DI00 to D4, I cannot seem to flash it, getting errors while uploading. Whatever combination I used on D2 also didn't work. The RFM69 settings can be set for the mysensors lib with MY_RF69_IRQ, etc Did you also connect RST?

Thank you!! Simon

Hi Siod, Have a look at the "download and api" page here on mysensors (link). Read through the section API (link) to see how you can send a message to the gateway and if you need some in-dept info go through the section SERIAL PROTOCOL (link). You'll notice that everytime a message is send to the gateway it contains the node-id. How this is then relayed to your controller is explained in the section "Controller". I guess you can find this for yourself in the menu on top of the homepage. BR, Boozz

Placing the receive function in my Gateway sketch worked. Thanks. For some reason I thought that function would only work for sensor nodes to watch for messages sent from the Gateway.

@hek Thanx Again, I think I was on that page 3-4 time without seeing getnodeid() : )

@AWI I realize that now and already purchased a Pro mini 3.3v.

Hi all, All works fine now! After the reshuffle of the connection pins it does what I want it to do. Only thing I need to change is the sleeptime, it's now set to 6000 and when no change send a value to the GW after ten readings. But it is to often now..

@Jaime-Machado you use gateway for parent ! the node id 0 is for gateway usually.use default sketch for gateway is site also use a 100uf capacitor and use this in sketchs(gateway and nodes) #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_HIGH also use an other parent for repeater if long distance

@Mike37922 you're welcome. Great to have a new member of the MySensors community :-) Yes, 2.1.1 is available for install through the library manager. Instructions at https://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#installing-the-sensor-libraries in case you need them.

PS Tried another radio (again) and another usb Port to power it and now everything is working. Thank you
