Troubleshooting

Great! Glad it worked for you

@TheoL it is. When you define a radio, it defines MY_RADIO_FEATURE // Enable radio "feature" if one of the radio types was enabled #if defined(MY_RADIO_NRF24) || defined(MY_RADIO_RFM69) || defined(MY_RS485) #define MY_RADIO_FEATURE #endif Same thing when you define a gateway : #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_W5100) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_ENC28J60) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_CLIENT) #define MY_GATEWAY_FEATURE Then at the end if MY_RADIO_FEATURE and MY_GATEWAY_FEATURE are not defined it generates this compilation error #if !defined(MY_GATEWAY_FEATURE) && !defined(MY_RADIO_FEATURE) #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless. #endif

I am using IDE 1.6.8

@Danhiel said: BinarySwitchSleepSensor.ino If the sleep you mention, is the one to let your buttons settle as the code in this example, line100. then it's "just" to let your buttons settle, to handle the contact/switch bounce // Short delay to allow buttons to properly settle sleep(5); https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/examples/BinarySwitchSleepSensor/BinarySwitchSleepSensor.ino

@Dominic-Bonneau Have a look at this thread https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4415/my-final-setup-to-get-mysensors-and-openhab-communicating-via-mqtt it might provide you with the answers you seek.

@mfalkvidd Thanx for the quick reply and the example. It's exactly what I was I was looking for. I just overlooked the union definition in Message.h. I'm currently sending the message to the Node itself as a test. But event that that works.

I found the link to the updated 2.0 sketch and even though I still have problems, this is not one of them anymore =) https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples

@npkhoi thanks for e plaining. Then it should be sufficient to replace send(msg.set((int16_t)ceil(valMQ))); with send(msg.set(random()));

Just finished switching them out with 100's. MUCH better. Still having a fail on startup. looks like it's when it's sending the framework version TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=15,pt=6,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:0100 !TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=fail:2.0.0 TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=1,st=ok:0 TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=10,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:WallSwitch TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:1.1 TSP:MSG:SEND 1-1-0-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok: Request registration...

Yes it is hard to find a data sheet on, most suppliers seem to quote around 115mA but I would allow a bit more just in case.

OMG I think I found my problem .... Is it possible to put code into Arduino mini pro with this : https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/1200x900/954-02.jpg Because I check tuto on the web and they all use this : https://abra-electronics.com/images/thumbnails/280/217/detailed/134/ARD-FTDI-F(1).jpg Thanks

@tbowmo Thanks for the help. I see now where I was going wrong. I have everything working as expected. The only thing I needed to do was add some special commands to the message statement. For some reason, the relay would not turn off when the water low level was reached; used this below as a counter for now. Thanks again. /** * 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.

Please, could you post your code? I can´t make my arduino mega work.

@Boots33 - You'd the Man Boots!!! That was it. Commented that line out, and it's working! After inspecting the code again, I noticed the "!" (NOT) defined for "MY_W5100_SPI_EN" which indeed must have stopped Soft SPI. Thanks again!

@Magic-W the intention is that you send a Request from your node when you want to Receive a status update from the controller. The controller sends you a response with the requested status. You keep the node awake Wait until you receive the message from the controller. In fact you are polling for new messages every x time or whenever you need an update.

@DavidZH i have thought the same, but that software is an very simple script. Still, you might be right.
