3. Soil Moisture Sensor / analog value

Soil Moisture Sensor / analog value

  • k5austria

    Hi !
    Can someone send sketch for Soil Moisture Sensor. I need ANALOG value from sensor.

    My sensor is capacitive (not resistant) but that should not matter because also sends analog value.

    Thanks in advance !

 * DESCRIPTION
 * 
 * This node can measure the moisture of 6 different plants. It uses the cheap 'capacitive analog 
 * moisture sensor' that you can get for about 3 dollars an Aliexpress or eBay. For example:
 * https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Analog-Capacitive-Soil-Moisture-Sensor-V1-2-Corrosion-Resistant-Z09-Drop-ship/32858273308.html
 * 
 * Each plant' moisture value can also be responded to individually, either by turning on an LED (wire that to the plan, and you can see which one is thirsty) or, if you want, per-plant automated irrigation by connecting a little solenoid..

    I take it you modified the code, right?

    For example, the code I shared has encryption built in, etc.

    I have not changed anything. I'm not so good with code. Which part should I change?

    remove:

    #define HAS_SCREEN            // Have you connected a screen?       

#define MY_SECURITY_SIMPLE_PASSWD "changeme"        // Be aware, the length of the password has an effect on memory use.

    And change #define NUMBER_OF_SENSORS 6 to the number of sensors you have attached to pin A0, A1, A2, etc.

    Gateway is ok. Other sensors are connected.

    @k5austria !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL means that the node is unable to initialize the radio. Without radio initialization, the node cannot communicate.

    Triple-check the radio wiring. Replace the radio module if possible. If you don't find a problem, post pictures of the wiring here and we'll help you.

    If you haven't already, check out https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for info on how to troubleshoot efficiently.

    @mfalkvidd

    Thank you for your answer !!!
    You're right. Radio module was defective (every 3 pcs.). I got new ones today and now everything works fine. I still have some questions about code.

    • Why do i get response from sensor every 8 minutes ?

    • May I operate my cheap Aliexpress radio module (nRF24L01+PA+LNA) with MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_MAX ? Power supply is enough.

    Nice work @k5austria

    The code is a bit too complex for me to follow, so I can't guess why something happens every 8 minutes. Sorry.

    What have you set as:

    #define SLEEPTIME 100                               // In seconds, how often should a measurement be made and sent to the server? The maximum delay between measurements is once every 254 seconds, but if you change "byte" to "int" further down in the code you could create more time between each loop.
#define LOOPDURATION 5000                           // The main loop runs every x milliseconds. This main loop starts the modem, and from then on periodically requests the password.

    5000 * 1000 = 5.000.000 milliseconds between measurements = 8.33 minutes

    Change the loopduration (how long a tick of the internal clock takes) to 1000, and then the SLEEPTIME variable is in normal seconds again.

    @k5austria said in Soil Moisture Sensor / analog value:

    May I operate my cheap Aliexpress radio module (nRF24L01+PA+LNA) with MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_MAX ? Power supply is enough

    In my experience this will fail.
