Controller Developer

@hek I see that MySensors logo is missing in the forum

Thanks @JeeLet @skywatch upgrade leads some issue, I believe I fixed it. I hope MyController forum looks ok now.

we can go back to the original topic

Thanks @hek !

Hello, MySensors forum search feature is not working? I tried with Incognito window too, but nothing changed.

@JeeLet can you share your MySensors sketch?

@alphaHotel https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3453/mysbootloader-1-3-pre-release-myscontroller-1-0-0beta/186

@JeeLet the value, you have to set.
V_STATUS is not available in MyController, since it is not reported yet.
adding in setup sends the data only once. If you would like to retain the old status from MyController in your node, remove the send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)); from your setup and create V_STATUS manually in MyController

• add new field in Resources >> Fields >> Add,
  

@JeeLet can you add send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0)); // Relay in your setup(){} function?

• message.getType - returns the type of the message. you can see different types in https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 under set, req
• message.getBool - returns the boolean value of your payload. MySensors sends and receives all the payload in string format. in the arduino sketch with this different type of get functions you can get exact payload without additional steps. more details on https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/classMyMessage.html

@qobouky You are correct, the Binary type sensors should be visible here.
I just revisited your sketch and I found a conflict on the allocated sensors id

#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
#define CHILD_ID_CO2 2

#define NUMBER_OF_RELAYS 3 // Total number of attached relays
void presentation()  {
present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
present(CHILD_ID_CO2, S_AIR_QUALITY);

 for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    present(sensor, S_BINARY);
  }
}

your relay sensor id should start from 3 or above.
I do not see the use of pin=RELAY_PIN.
You can present the status of your relay's, that can create V_STATUS on MyController

example:

#define RELAY_SENSOR 3 // Relay sensor starts at 3

void presentation()  {
....
MyMessage relayMsg(RELAY_SENSOR, V_STATUS);
for (int sensor=RELAY_SENSOR; sensor < (RELAY_SENSOR + NUMBER_OF_RELAYS); sensor++) {
    // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    present(sensor, S_BINARY);
    relayMsg.sensor = sensor;
    send(relayMsg.set(loadState(sensor))); // current status of the relay
  }
}

NOTE: You have to update your relay code on setup and in receive too

@RagoTube looks like we need a gateway in a sensor network and with the help of gateway node-node communication can happen. The beauty of MySensors gateway is, you can use your gateway as a node.
I just updated my example shown here. Now the display node is a gateway node.
