  @doug I see, there are still some changes pending to rhe smartsleep function and a dedicated message type indicating the node is going to sleep (and waiting for a short time for commands). I will adjust MYSController thereafter.

  @karl261 said: @tekka But now I found something: the repeater sketch does not work, if MY_DEBUG is commented out. I tried several times forth and back. On the gw I get the output below. I checked and re-programmed the repeater. It seems that it has gone away. I can use my repeater without MY_DEBUG. I don't know what caused this, but the repeater is working now.

  @LarsMachiels There was a problem with some versions of the arduino ide that caused the rebooting. You may have to revert to an older version, I am using 1.6.9 and I have compiled the gateway without issue but some have had to go back to 1.6.7 See this post for more details.

  I have the exact same problem: the node never reconnects to gateway after a gateway outage. In my case it is an ethernet MQTTClientGateway and a humidity node. I have experimented with your suggestion and found that 1000ms was still not enough for a full reconnect before the node goes to sleep, so I made it 3000ms. This seems to allow a reconnect all the time (at least in my environment). // @TODO remove after testing gateway outage if (!isTransportOK()) { #ifdef MY_DEBUG Serial.print("Transport ERROR. Waiting for a proper transport reconnect"); #endif wait(3000); } // Sleep for a while to save energy sleep(UPDATE_INTERVAL); I am unsure why MySensors doesn't have this self-healing element built-in. Maybe it is only a bug, maybe it has some deeper reason.

  @boozz again thank you for help me i am beginner , so you mean one node is not a repeater now, but it can be ? a sensor and a repeater ! is this correct ? but i am beginner so i want know this is easy or hard ? ( convert a node to sensor + repeater !? about second problem , now i just test devices and they are in 1 meter with me (now without any wall) but some time disconnect between node and gateway . and dont any work Unless with unplug and plug in gateway or nodes ! i have test it once with vera edge (esp8266 gateway) and more once with comoticz (windows) ( serial gateway) in vera is better and most time i have disconnect when unplug vera ( esp8266 is connect with usb to my vera ) after power on vera for 1 hours or more my gateway dont work ! also some time ( little sometime ) Accidentally disconnect gateways with node , so unplug and plug in again (gateway and nodes) in "windows domoticz" is more happen . some time ( more time ) after send codes , i receive this error "Error sending switch command, check device/hardware !" is this better i use a 10 nF for radio ? i think problem is related to radio !

  Thank you both for your advice. I ended setting a fixed ID for the repeater node and forcing that as parent ID in the sensor. So far it has been working for 6 hours without any hiccup so things looks promising!

  One last question !!! Now that I opened up my "mysensors.json", it made me curious about some of the information in it. Currently it shows; {"0": {"sketch_name": null, "sensor_id": 0, "children": {}, "battery_level": 0, "sketch_version": null, "protocol_version": "2.0.0", "type": 18}, "1": {"sketch_name": "TempHumidRelay", "sensor_id": 1, "children": {"0": {"id": 0, "description": "", "values": {"1": "51.0"}, "type": 7}, "1": {"id": 1, "description": "", "values": {"0": "21.0"}, "type": 6}, "2": {"id": 2, "description": "", "values": {"2": "0"}, "type": 3}}, "battery_level": 0, "sketch_version": "1.1", "protocol_version": "2.0.0", "type": 18}} Inside the "values" brackets, I know the second numbers are the reported values (i.e. payload), but what is the first number in the bracket ? {"0": "21.0"} , {"1": "51.0"} or {"2": "0"} And finally what are the definition of "type": 18 , "type": 3 , "type": 7 and "type":6 ? Cheers, Mehrdad

  @Kodiak80 the Dallas example for MySensors 2 is avaliable at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/master/examples/DallasTemperatureSensor/DallasTemperatureSensor.ino The sketch needs some additional libraries. The libraries are included if you download the entire repo from https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples Unfortunately, some of the libraries have introduced breaking changes so it is not possible to use the libraries that can be installed from thr Arduino IDE library manager.

  @tekka GW - Mega 2560 + Ethernet running MySensors 2.0 stable I did try a few nodes - Nano and a few others based on atmega328p, all of them have the same problem. All nodes were running the same MySensors 2.0 stable I have a 250kBit/s transfer speed on both. The node log is above in the original post. Will try to post the GW log, but have a feeling that it must be a GW nrf24l01+ issue

  If you are sending lots of messages you might night to resort to the latgest snapshot. https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues/253#issuecomment-242132060 With the snapshot you might increase the "resoruce-log" level and decrease the retention time. (The resorucelog is a history of the most recent received message).

  This is an issue with the HW SPI port in the atmega328. If configured as an input, the master spi port will turn into a slave, if SS pin is low. Atmega328p datasheet, section 19.3.2: When the SPI is configured as a Master (MSTR in SPCR is set), the user can determine the direction of the SS pin. If SS is configured as an output, the pin is a general output pin which does not affect the SPI system. Typically, the pin will be driving the SS pin of the SPI Slave. If SS is configured as an input, it must be held high to ensure Master SPI operation. If the SS pin is driven low by peripheral circuitry when the SPI is configured as a Master with the SS pin defined as an input, the SPI system interprets this as another master selecting the SPI as a slave and starting to send data to it. To avoid bus contention, the SPI system takes the following actions: The MSTR bit in SPCR is cleared and the SPI system becomes a Slave. As a result of the SPI becoming a Slave, the MOSI and SCK pins become inputs. The SPIF Flag in SPSR is set, and if the SPI interrupt is enabled, and the I-bit in SREG is set, the interrupt routine will be executed. Thus, when interrupt-driven SPI transmission is used in Master mode, and there exists a possibility that SS is driven low, the interrupt should always check that the MSTR bit is still set. If the MSTR bit has been cleared by a slave select, it must be set by the user to re-enable SPI Master mode.

  Ok, now we're cooking! @tekka, thanks for explaining some of the details that I was missing. I'm sure I read that before, but I guess I swapped "gateway" with "controller" in my head, assuming that the sensor node would be assigned an id by the gateway. I placed the following in my sensor node's sketch: #define MY_NODE_ID 2 This avoided any errors, but I still wasn't seeing the correct message come through MQTT. Not sure if it was required, but I ended up having to add #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 1 to the sensor node's sketch, and #define MY_NODE_ID 1 to the gateway node's sketch. Once I did that, the temperature readings started showing up in MQTT! Thanks for the help everybody. I still have quite a bit to learn, but getting a working sensor sending data all the way through the gateway to MQTT was the biggest hurdle to really making progress on implementing these. THANK YOU!

  @Yveaux I am so terribly embarrassed! In order to rule out something wrong with the WS5100 I rebuilt the GW using an old Arduino UNO with an Ethernet shield. Still same problem. Then to really make sure I pasted/copied username and password from the cloudmqtt into the sketch. Immediate success! It turned out that I had misread an uppercase I (indigo) for a lower case l (lima). Still the suggestions from the community were good since I could iron out one possible cause after another. Thanks for the support!

  @Matt Not sure if you do this. But in my experience, you need to add small delays (wait(15)) in your sketch after communication. Especially when creating large multi sensor nodes. The radio isn't always fast enough to digest all of the communication. Not sure if this is your problem, but it solved my problems.

  @chatainsim I couldn't see strange things in your sketch. What I always do when I build a multi sensor node is put a small wait after each message I send to the gateway. I've noticed that the radio cannot always keep up with the speed of the Arduino. So something like gw.wait(15); after each gw.send does the trick for me. These are the though ones to pin point. Because it's 80% for sure a power related issue. If you happen to have a buck converter, you could try to set that to 3.3V. Power it from an adapter and feed the Gateway antenna from the buck converter. Don't forget to connect the grounds of the radio and the Arduino. But it's really hard to help you from a distance. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

  I agree with you, if you use have a radio in your system is because you want to control it remotely. But I think that there is more reason: Mysensor could be an additional function on my system, not the only one. So the others system will not work. Safety requirement, the system shall run free without knowledged locks. If the GW go down for any reason, maybe beacause is broken, your system could be no work. Is not a common case, but it's a real case. In my case, my node have a digital input (switch on the wall) and a digital output, the digital output (relay) is manage from the Mysensor node and from the digital input. If the GW is broken, the digital output will not work till I fix or change the GW. It can pass one day or one week it depend of the job. My wife will be very hungry if she can not manage the house manually with the tradional swithes on the wall. Any way, it's a feature that I think that could be take into account for next release. Is not very important because is not usual has not GW in the network, but I think that is a safety requirement to add in next deliveries. Thank a lot for your support. It's a nice forum

  @rsaeful better use gw.wait() i.s.o. of delay. during the gw.wait() you are still receiving and sending MyS messages. delay is blocking So the function will look like this void fadeToLevel( int toLevel ) { int delta = ( toLevel - currentLevel ) < 0 ? -1 : 1; while ( currentLevel != toLevel ) { currentLevel += delta; analogWrite( LED_PIN, (int)(currentLevel * 2.55)); gw.wait( FADE_DELAY ); } }

  It will work, and as long as the project just need little functionality it should be manageable. Managing a lot of functionality will be a pain though, since you won't have as nice development and debug tools available (compared to using a real controller on linux or windows machine). You will need to hard-code node IDs for all nodes (except the gateway which always has ID 0) though, just as you have already done with #define MY_NODE_ID 123. I mention it because a lot of people have tried to get auto ID from a gateway, but that won't work since the ID assignment is done by the controller.

  All working now, thanks Chrille!! For anyone else trying to get RFM69W working with ESP8266 I have MISO -> GPIO12 MOSI -> GPIO13 SCK -> GPIO14 NSS - > GPIO16 DIO0 ->GPIO15 (Which is also pulled down with a 10k resistor) ANA -> antenna (to be honest i eyeballed 9cm but haven't measured it (was going to trim afterwards)) VCC -> 3.3V GND -> GND I also soldered a 4.7uf cap over the power and ground of the RFM69W directly on the RFM69W PCB For the power supply i have a 5V USB supply (old phone charger) with a 1000uf cap over the +ve and -ve. then and LD1117 to feed 3.3V to the ESP and the RFM69. Should probably also have 47uf cap somewhere on the 3.3V side as well. I saw people talking about them being too close as well. I tested most of mine about 50cm apart with no major issues. I made the following mods to get either the gateway or node sketch working #define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN 15 #define MY_RF69_SPI_CS 16 All makes for a pretty cheap gateway. I was planning on using the ESP for nodes as well but is seems its power consumption is far greater than the arduino mini pro, so i ordered a few of them for nothing and will build my nodes based on those.

  @d-smes the whole concept of having default led pins based on platform (e. g. Avr or esp) instead of board (e.g. Uno or NodeMcu) is wrong IMHO. Within the core team we're discussing how to handle this. Will come back to the topic as soon as things become clear.

  Thanks i actually just reinstalled arduino from version 1.6.4 to current version 1.6.9 i think and it seemed to fix the issue. I do still have an error with the mymocksensors example sketch though that it doesnt compile with a series of 'function xx is ambiguous' looks like a duplicate reference somewhere. Ill generate the error and post the information Cheers James

  I got a test circuit wired up yesterday afternoon with one temperature sensor and the arduino. It didn't work. I got out the multimeter and there was not voltage coming through the wire connected (through the breadboard) to the VCC contact in the arduino, even though there was voltage if I touched it to the arduino contact directly. Apparently something I'm doing with the headers is not quite right. I'll research and try to figure it out, but I'd be happy if anybody here has suggestions.

  @sincze I've got some buck converters that regulate 12V to 3.3V without any pain. I use it for my gesture controlled lamp. Works like a charm. Well I'm by far any export on this field. But I'm working on a node which I couldn't get stable. The Node crashed after 6, 8 sometimes 12 hours. I've added a watchdog, which works great, but after the watchdog did it's work some sensors on the node just couldn't work. Although I've powered them externally. To make this story shorter ;-). I found out that it's better to always power the radio externally. For some kind of reason it consumes more power than my ProMini 3.3V can provide. This symptom occurs when you add multiple sensors to an Arduino. It took me a long time to investigate what the problem was. But my conclusion is, just don't power anything from the Arduino and use an external power adapter if possible. Except for dedicated Arduino's that can be found on openhardware. My sensebender has been running for 4 month on the same batteries without any problems.

  Some background, why the solution works without changing the timer prescale: The default prescale of all timers are 64, so they should work the same, but the default mode is different: Timer 0: Fast PWM mode = 0..255,0..255,... (timer is used for internal calculations millis() / delay() /..., so this setting is required) Timer 2: Phase-correct mode = 0..255..0..255... Timer 1 is 16 bit and the pins are blocked by the radio, so I'll leave them out here. The frequency of the timer is comparable to a timer round trip (values are calculated with a 16 MHz IO-frequency like with ATmega168 or ATmega328 used in nano): Timer 0: 16 MHz / 64 / 256 = 976.5625 Hz Timer 2: 16 MHz / 64 / 510 = 490.1961 Hz Fast PWM uses 0..255 = 256 for a round trip. Phase-corrected mode uses 0..255,254..1 = 256 + 254 = 510 (all numbers are double except 0 and 255!) NOW the command: TCCR2A |= _BV(WGM21); Switches timer 2 to fast PWM mode (mode from 1 to 3). In addition to the links above, here I found the default settings: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/TimerPWMCheatsheet

  Hmm.. basically, this node works if signing is disabled. If it's enabled, all the nonce requests fail to transmit (with st=NACK). Disabling signing, it has greater success in transferring its data. So I guess it's yet another problem with the radio. I suspected this. This is an NRF24L01+PA+LNA module. I have: Tried multiple radio modules to rule out a faulty one. Put the radio module on a dedicated 3.3V power regulator. Tried both high and low PA level. Same thing on gateway - NRF24L01+PA+LNA, on dedicated 3.3V power regulator. It seems to succeed in most cases, at least when it's sending just a set request. Presentations and others do not work. It's like it's having trouble transmitting longer messages. Odd. The code in this sketch is using an interrupt handler to count pulsess on my energy meter. Could this be related?

  It's my code I changed this method from private to public, this function is used to determine wait time needed for right non-blocking wait call. Seems like I should make PR to original library instead of modifying MYS copy.

  @hek I can retrive the parent node by requesting it, that's ok. I have no idea how to do that (if you can point me to an example...) BTW, if I would like to inform the Controller (OpenHAB) on which parent is used by a node (I'm using MQTTClient as GW) I need to present and register this information as written by me before or there is another way as well? Thanks! simon

  There is no device listed in APPS/DEV APPS/Serial Port Config. There is only a save button. That´s the big problem. Vera does not recognize the to USB connected gateway.

  @stephenmhall it needs a controller with an ip address, not a gateway. https://www.mysensors.org/about/network describes the difference between a controller and a gateway. Are you using the mqtt gateway or the ethernet gateway? According to the Vera page, Vera supports ethernet gateway, but not mqtt. Therefore you should probably use the ethernet gateway and leave MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS disabled/commented (the way it is by default). You then add the ethernet gateway to Vera according to the instructions here. I don't use Vera though so I have not tried this myself.

  @mfalkvidd yes, it is very strange. Before to write here I try to change the child id - first the sensors have id 50 and 51. After I try with 30, 31 and 31,32 but the same result - domoticz see just one of the flow meters. I try to reprogram GW and new node (clear both EEPROM) - note get new ID and the rusult are the same. Clear Domoticz database - same. Very strange for me. All other work well - have attached RFXTRX433 with energy monitor and some switches at 433Mhz, some nodes with light sensors and ds18b20 for testing.

  @tekka said: @Daemon-D Can you explain how you solved the issue - I'm sure other user could also profit if they face a similar problem. Thanks. The problem was solved by moving to the top of the sketch exactly like the to test the sketch before #include // Enable debug prints to serial monitor #define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69 // Enabled repeater feature for this node #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE #include <SPI.h> #include <MySensors.h>

  hello, i know it is late, but others could see it too. i had the same problem running small (LOW POWER) modules on power banks, because the battery or power bank has a built in power meter, while it is charging and consuming power, there will be power on the USB port, but the arduino's consumption is very tiny regarding charging a phone. you need to disable this feature somehow.

  @Magic-W the light sensor sleeps most of the time, so it is not likely to see incoming messages. Try replacing sleep() with wait().

  Hello I gave you some tips for button cell on your other thread. In addition: if you are using interrupts only then your power consumption should be extremely low, I don't think it's necessary to wake up regularly to send battery level. If you don't do it then then you have even lower consumption because the watchdog timer is turned off, my CR2032 door/windows nodes using the sleep method from MySensors draws less than 2uA, there can be no visible change in battery level except if you leave your node in a closet for one year

  @TheoL said: @paqor That's great. I looked at the Sketch you posted on your site and noticed you're still using a delay. Which as short as it may be can cause messages to be missed. void loop(){ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //TEMP_FEUCHTE delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()); My advice is to do this with a wait as well. void loop(){ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- //TEMP_FEUCHTE wait(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()); // Changed ByTheo That way you don't block incoming messages. Generally, if you want your sketch to wait use a wait. genial, works perfectly....

  @ybycode could be. I once had a MySensors project which used a speaker. The speaker was very close to the radio and that Node behaved just like yours. When I move the speaker away from the node it became stable. Not sure if an inductive speak could be the cause, when you use the break-out relays. But that's a good question for someone with more electronics knowledge. I've found a tutorial about watch dogs. It is a last resort, but adding a watchdog will reset your arduino if it stalls. It doesn't resolve the cause though. But I'm thinking about adding a watchdog to all of my sensors. Just to make sure they can't stall in case hardware related issues.

  @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

  @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.

  Nevermind, I figured it out (sort of). I deleted the serial port from device manager and then checked for hardware updates which reinstalled it. It then worked just fine for one iteration, but the serial monitor showed BinarySwitchSleepSensor output instead of gateway output. And then stopped working. I deleted it again, reinstalled the port, and immediately uploaded the gateway sketch back to it. Now it works great. My guess is that the binary sketch somehow messed up the serial comm when on the Nano? Not sure, but that fixed it. I must have forgotten to switch the port # when I was reuploading the binary sketch to my node and accidentely uploaded it to the gateway port.

  Are you using OpenHab1 or using a beta of OpenHab2? It would be useful if you posted the error you were originally getting. I upgraded my gateway to 2.0 with MQTT so soon will be configuring Openhab but I'll be using Openhab2. Shouldn't make to much of a difference though.

  Quite a few of the old examples have been moved to a new repository (converted to 2.0) because of their to external dependency requirement. You can find the DHT (humidity) example there as well. https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples

  @scalz Oh ya that makes sense regarding the before() and setup(). Regarding the sketch that doesn't include the radio turn off....I was just referring to the one that had the relevant lines commented out so: void loop() { send(msg.set(20)); //digitalWrite (PER, HIGH); //turn off peripherals // Sleep for 10 seconds (just for testing) sleep(10000); //digitalWrite (PER, LOW); //turn on peripherals //delay(1000); //tried instituting a delay in case it needed a moment for power to stabilize //transportInit(); //re-initialize radio } instead of: void loop() { send(msg.set(20)); digitalWrite (PER, HIGH); //turn off peripherals // Sleep for 10 seconds (just for testing) sleep(10000); digitalWrite (PER, LOW); //turn on peripherals //delay(1000); //tried instituting a delay in case it needed a moment for power to stabilize transportInit(); //re-initialize radio }

  One very important note I would like to make: the gateway must be CONNECTED to a serial device AND the port must be opened (e.g. arduino serial monitor or openhab) , for it to accept connections!!!!. Just powering it from an usb-hub makes it non-responsive to sensors... took some quite a lot of time to figure this out.

  Hi @hek and @scalz Thanks for your response. I have been unable to locate the guide I thought I previously found... So I probably misread that. Thank you for the clear answer - which leaves me with only one more ( at the moment )... If I install OpenHAB - will it be able to hand out id's via MQTT? I noticed that the clients without an id keep posting to MQTT... under node id 255... /th

  Oh! It's working again. I had used the stock eeprom clear sketch in the arduino id to reset my node and I should have used the eeprom clear config sketch in the mySensors examples within the mySensors arduino library to clear the eeprom. I couldn't get it to auto assign a node ID so I just hard coded one using: gw.begin(NULL,3); Then I updated my item to use that node id and voila: 2016-07-17 17:49:17.721 [DEBUG] [.b.m.internal.MySensorsBinding] - internalReceiveUpdate(Temperature,20) is called! 2016-07-17 17:49:17.723 [DEBUG] [.b.m.internal.MySensorsBinding] - Temperature = 20 It's a good day!

  After migrating my few sketches to 2.0 and adjusting my baud rate to 38.4 kbps everything works! Thank you @scalz for pushing me to 2.0 and @ToniA for pointing out the poor choice of baud rate for the 8 Mhz Arduino. The recommended baud rate is now hard to miss in the 2.0 serial gateway example sketch. So moving to the latest API would possibly have solved my problems anyhow. // Define a lower baud rate for Arduino's running on 8 MHz (Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V & SenseBender) #if F_CPU == 8000000L #define MY_BAUD_RATE 38400 #endif Moving on to new challenges.

  HI, Thanks for getting back to me. Of note, the my sensors v.15 is actually 2.0.0 from the downloads. I have a 10k resistor from D0 to Gnd as suggested on various newsgroups, managed after about 5 attempts to flash the ESP8266 blink sketch, then it managed to flash the MQTT Client Gateway sketch after that. I'm not sure which of those things fixed it, but it's working now. Or it's uploaded anyway. Thanks Christian

  @sundberg84 Dang....now I'm really confused. I was under the impression that PIGatewaySerial handled assigning node id's and such. How would I find that out? I don't see a whole lot of documentation on this repository although I'm sure it exists......it seems pretty well built. The end result of all of this is to hopefully bind this serial connection to openhab. That's the goal at least.

  @blebbens It's been a while. But if I remeber it correctly you have to set #define SOFTSPI in MyConfig.h too. Don't forget to comment it back when you're compiling a sketch for a node. My router uses DHCP as well. But I can assign a static IP in the sketch. Shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure, but I think the arduino can't handle DHCP, it's a really simple ethernet card. So you need to assign an IP in the sketch.

  I have same problem using sensebender as node and ESP8266 as wifi gateway with the sense bender node reporting HUM as a 10 digit number. Mysensors 1.5 lib and 2.0.0 ESP8266 (no diff with 2.0.3). Only affects the HUM reading - not the temp or batt voltage. Interestingly a standard mysensors DHT11 node reports HUM correctly in the gateway while simultaneously the sensebender node does not. Will try the Dev library next.

  Ok, so you see an improvement? In the referenced thread Korttoma actually mentioned that one could expect a lower range if you set the power to max as the Arduino is not able to supply enough power. Good to know, learning by doing.

  Work fine, I have changed the lib myconfig.h file and the lua file. Removed MySensors plugin device from devices, updated the lua file on Vera. Reloaded engine, Plugged the arduino serialGateway back again. and flowed insturcations of Adding SerialGateWay again. Work fine, however I still have issues with Gateway to recognize devices and reading and sending info to devices I guess its a matter of power to the NRF24 radio, altough I use capasitor in between the 3.3v and gnd from the Nano, I think it's not enough.

  Problem solved! First, I forgot to activate the internal Pullup: digitalWrite(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, HIGH); Besides that, every signal greater than 0.5V is recognized as interrupt, BUT digitalRead only recognizes signals greater than 1.5V! When my external system triggers, it starts to slowly increase the voltage from 0.5V up to 3.3V. It reaches 1.5V after 5 seconds triggering. I cancelled the test every time after 3-4 seconds, so that's the problem why nothing worked.

  thanks alexsh1. One more thing: Gateway is a Arduino Pro Mini 3,3V and powered with a connected FTDI 3,3V Breakout to USB from Raspberry Pi 2. Sensor node is also a Arduino Pro Mini 3,3V but powered with a FTDI 5V Breakout (the only second one i have at moment) which is connected to my MacBooks´USB. Is this a acceptable way? So at the end i have to buy a "W" Module, and try it again?

  I am definitely getting freezes still. Maybe it's just bad hardware, I'm going to try swapping components.

  Got it working with this sleep function properly: // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion or water sensor. Send update every two minute. gw.sleep(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, DIGITAL_INPUT_WATER_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);

  Hi @pesh000, couple of remarks at your sketch Did you try the RCSwitch code with out any MySensor stuff so for example the SendDemo sketch with for your garage door the correct ID and pin settings? And did the garage door open/close? Why declaring 2 debouncer variables but still using digitalRead? Look at the MySensors RelayWithButtonActuator example for debouncer examples Why using hard coded numbers in the incomingMessage switch to determine which sensor did broadcast the V_LIGHT message while you have CHILD_ID_RELAY1, CHILD_ID_RELAY2 and CHILD_ID_RELAY3 declared? better use gw.wait(1000); in stead g delay(1000); during gw.wait() MySensors messages keep being processed. Even better do not use wait() functions or very short ones to keep your sketch responsive to triggers And last but not least it will help if you can post some debug logging from your sketch. I hope these comments will help you to debug , good luck

  @martinhjelmare Thank you!!!! I was getting crazy working only with the Serial monitor on both sides. I didn't know that the Controller is playing a key role on assigning the nodeID. It is working now after connecting the gateway to HomeAssistant. Thanks. Regards. Alfredo.

  Thanks tekka! I have updated to IDE 1.6.9 (was on 1.6.7) and also found out I was using the wrong location for libraries (the libraries I copied to the program files folder in C:\Program Files(86)\Arduino, seems they belong in the documents folder of the user profile). After this indeed the example Sketch HumiditySensor now compiled without errors. On my particular sketch (I want to use send locally attached sensors through the ethernet gateway) I stil got the error. Now I started to compare the two and the error disappears when I include the MY_RADIO library (#define MY_RADIO_NRF24) in my sketch. Very happy that it's solved now. Thanks for your help!

  Try to use 2 new fresh AAA cells in serial, connected directly to VCC. and verify if this will work. Then you know that it's a power supply issue

  Problem solved for my case. Just to give a hint to anyone who might have a similar problem, I had misconfigured the default pin assignments. In particular the INCLUSION_MODE_PIN definition was colliding with one of the LED pins (maybe RADIO_RX_LED_PIN). Hope this helps.

  No, I'm not using MySensors on the Arduino, I'm using RadioHead. I posted on here as there seemed to be a lot of people using that module on this forum. But yes: the radios are both configured to 2Mbps. The fact that the RPi can receive even though not transmit certainly lends weight to @mfalkvidd's suggestion that it might be power-related. I'm getting some voltage regulators and will power it separately from the Pi to see if that improves anything. On a related note ... why are 3.3V regulators so hard to come by!? It's been years since I last picked up a soldering iron... Grumble

  @martinhjelmare I think you might be on to something, as I have noticed that other microcontroller modules point the antenna away from the PCB, where as the Sensebender and RF module are overlapping. I will investigate by adding jumper wires from the SenseBender and the RF module to add some separation. Thanks...

  @vga The sensor you are referring to is working with "hall" effect. I can't find the internal schematics of the thing but I assume there are some active components to give you a nice square wave output. Another principle would be a magnet with reed (magnetic) contact which you can read with minimal current. You can find the " rest" current by measuring the power line of the sensor .

  Never mind figured it out. There was a problem somewhere in that sketch. basically started from scratch again. merged the W5100 MQTT client gateway sketch and the relay sketch. then referred to here for serial MQTT syntax. Hope anyone else thats struggling finds this info useful.

  Hi! Im not familiar with the Wifi so might be a stupid question - but is Wifi gateway supported by Domoticz? (Does it work the same way as Ethernet gw?)... Adding a serial gateway and ethernet gateway to hardware you have to change the settings in your hardware menu.

  Well.. My initial use is for a pool temperature / level sensor.. The temp is easy - It's registering as a V_TEMP and working great, but what I want is for the level to say "1.5 inches low" or "2 inches high", etc.. I currently have the value implemented as another V_TEMP, and have my arduino code calibrating the code to show 0 degrees if it's "perfect" and then plus/minus one degree for each inch the pool is high or low, but to have a sensor that is named "Pool level" and the data being "1.5 degrees F" isn't intuitive. I thought about using a distance sensor, but I couldn't get the distance code to work in the first place, and then I'd have to just remember what "distance" is normal (ie: is 0 the "top" of the pool, the the distance represents how far down the water is?) It just seems simpler in many cases to have a few english words displayed in the Vera website. Another idea I have is to replace all my "expensive" z-wave door sensors with MySensors on Pro Mini because I hate that the output of the door sensor is just a picture of the door sensor with the "rainbow" on top either colored red, or not, and I have to remember which color is "open". I'd rather have a Vera output that just says "OPEN" or "CLOSED" and I can't figure out any way to do that with the regular sensors so I was just going to build my own.. I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's enough to keep me busy for a while! .. didn't get to try any of this last night as I had hoped.. we ended up going to the town carnival instead... Will try again tonight! -Steve

  Hi Chris, You can test the RFM69 communication with the example sketchs from LowPowerLab (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/tree/master/Examples), you only need the two libarys (SPIFlash, RFM69).

  also the official Sketch with development library behaves the same way, which means there is no temperature change of DHT22 in serial monitor display, after a new start of Arduino I see the right temperature, I do not know what I'm doing wrong?
