Node to Node Communication via Gatreway

jkandasa

My topology is as follows,
Node-1 <--> Gateway <--> Node-2.

When I send message from Node-1 to Node-2 (or) Node-2 to Node-1 is not working,
Node-1 and Node-2 are repeater nodes.

Gateway does not route packets to another node in the network?

hek

That's strange. You probably have to look at the serial output from the nodes and gateway to find the cause.

jkandasa

@hek Thank you I did serial debug, I'm not clear about route (to) address
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/libraries/MySensors/MySensor.cpp#L401

Node-1:
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=18,pt=0,l=6,sg=0,st=ok:1.5 b1
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:0
repeater started, id=1, parent=0, distance=1
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=16,sg=0,st=ok:LevelSensor
send: 1-1-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,st=ok:1.0
send: 1-1-0-0 s=1,c=0,t=15,pt=0,l=6,sg=0,st=ok:1.5 b1
send: 1-1-0-0 s=1,c=1,t=13,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:0
send: 1-1-3-3 s=1,c=1,t=13,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:0

above '3' is 'to' (route) address, I do not understand what is '3' and how it was calculated, I hope here 'to' should be a parent address, which is 0

What does your code look like on the sending node (1)?

jkandasa

#define NODE_ID (int8_t) 1
#define N_LEVEL_DISPLAY_ID (int8_t) 3
#define S_LEVEL_DISPLAY_ID (int8_t) 1

MySensor gw;
 gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ID, true);
MyMessage levelDisplayBoard(S_LEVEL_DISPLAY_ID, V_DISTANCE);
levelDisplayBoard.setDestination(N_LEVEL_DISPLAY_ID);
int dist = getDistance();
gw.send(levelDisplayBoard.set(dist));

hek

I think node 1 has a corrupt routing table (it thinks node 3 is a child).

Try clearing eeprom and re-upload your sketch. Or disable repeater-mode on it.

jkandasa

How to print routing table in serial console?

hek

You have to read it from eeprom.
It starts at position: EEPROM_ROUTES_ADDRESS (defined in MySensors.h)

http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/EEPROMRead

jkandasa

@hek you are right! There was an entry for Node-2 in Node-1 routing table, As it has direct access to Node-2, was trying to send directly. I removed the entry and now it's going throw gateway. All node works well. Perfect!

I thing we have to add code to remove routing table entry dynamically if it face some N number of failures. It will make life easier for those who is shifting node from one location to another location often.

Hello,

Sorry to resort to an old topic ...
I am currently using mysensors RS485, and I would like to extend my installation with this protocol.
and I would like to make the nodes communicate with each other through the gateway.
But I can't do what I want ... help!
on my node 4, I have an input and 1 output, the input activates and deactivates the output. (here no worries).
On my node 5, I have an input to activate the output of node 4, so I can turn it off but not turn it on, and I don't see any frames towards the gateway

here is the code for my node 5:

// MySensors 
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0                   // define if fixed parent
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
#undef MY_REGISTRATION_FEATURE                  // sketch moves on if no registration
#define MY_NODE_ID 5                     // fixed node number

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable RS485 transport layer
#define MY_RS485

// Define this to enables DE-pin management on defined pin
#define MY_RS485_DE_PIN 2

// Set RS485 baud rate to use
#define MY_RS485_BAUD_RATE 9600

// Set blinking period

// Flash leds on rx/tx/err
//#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 4  // Error led pin
//#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN  5  // Receive led pin

//#include <MqttClient.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#include <Bounce2.h>

#define CHILD_ID 4
#define BUTTON_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch

Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
int oldValue=0;
bool state;

// Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT);

void setup()  
{  
  // Setup the button
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,INPUT_PULLUP);
  // Activate internal pull-up
  //digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,HIGH);
  
  // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
  debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN);
  debouncer.interval(5);
  
}

void presentation() {
  // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. 
  // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in. See "msg" above.
  sendSketchInfo("Button", "1.1");

  
  present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT);  
}


//  Check if digital input has changed and send in new value
void loop() 
{
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
  int value = debouncer.read();
  if (value != oldValue && value==0) {
      msg.setDestination(4);
      send(msg.set(state?false:true), false);// Send new state and request ack back
  }
  oldValue = value;
}

@FullMetal Imo, you have to specify all send-settings in one line, e.g. like this:

send(buttonMsg.setDestination(MY_SISTER_NODE_ID).setSensor(CHILD_ID_RESET).set( button[i] ? "1" : "0"));

FullMetal

@rejoe2
thank you for your return,
but I have the same problem, I manage to activate the relay of node 4 from node 5, but I cannot deactivate it. and when I act on node 5 the gateway does not receive frames since it calls node 4.
I think that node 4 should send the relay status to node 5 so that it knows whether it is activated or not.

tekka

@FullMetal Please post a full debug log of both nodes showing the observed behaviour.

rejoe2

@FullMetal Pls add also code from node 4.

In general:

if you want also info from node 5 to be sent to your controller/gateway, you have to add a second (normal) send command.
wrt. to how node 4 reacts on the messages, you may better use sth. like a toggle logic.

}

From node 4, my output is activated and deactivated immediately, due to double sending

from node 5, I can activate or deactivate if I launch the command from node 4 before otherwise.

I just found!

ask the gateway not to send back acq
send(msg.setDestination(MY_PARENT_NODE_ID).setSensor(CHILD_ID).set(state?false:true), false); // Send new state and request ack back
wait(100);
send(msg.setDestination(SYSTER_ID).setSensor(CHILD_ID).set(state?false:true), true);

rejoe2

Good to her you found that point .
Imo you'd better change also your receive functions to not react on "ack" messages (via "else" prior to message.type-comparison).
