Battery voltage sensor is no longer recognized by Homeassistant

[Branther]

hello all,
i am a newbie when it comes to mysensors. nevertheless, by copy and paste i have built a sensor that sends the battery voltage from my car to my homeassistant every 20 min. My car is parked by the road and is not used much. so i want to keep an eye on the voltage.
so far this has worked for about 6 months.
for some inexplicable reason, it no longer does.
so i can rule out a hardware error i turned it off and set up a test sensor on a plug-in module.
the debug values seem ok to me , but i can't judge it seriously. but it is not detected by my serial gateway.
can someone help me and tell what can be wrong?
i will share here the debuginfo and the sketch.
i hope for your help, thanks.

i must add that i already have 13 other sensors and actuators running.
These are running perfectly.

[Branther]

it's a pity that no one here seems to be able to help.

I have been looking for solutions for several days.

I have restarted homeassistant and mysensors.
what i have found out so far is:

the serial gateway does not work
the wemos d1 gateway works.

whereas both gateways all others (13 pieces with 20 entities) are recognized immediately without any problems.

only my voltmeter in the car does not work with the serial gatreway

very strange

tries to create a virtual value, a false sensor.

"It worked for about 6 months" ... wear and tear or a case of a component ???

courage you will find

( it is difficult to help a person on a material problem without seeing anything )

[Branther]

@JeeLet thank you for your feedback.
I have already replaced all components, so I assume that there is no hardware defect.
i think i have found the error. at least that's how it looks.
i have changed the gateway. before it was a TCP gateway with a Wemos D1.
I want to get away from WiFi, so now I use a serial gateway.
as described all sensors and actuators work with this gateway. only not S_Multimeter with V_Voltage.
To get around my programming errors here as well, I used a standard sketch from github.
https://github.com/barduinor/MySensors-Barduino/tree/development/examples/MockMySensors
here i simply enabled #define ID_S_Multimeter to it and uploaded it.

with the serial gateway only S_ARMED and S_DOOR are recognized.
with the TCP gateway S_Multimeter is also recognized.

maybe someone with Serial Gateway can also try this and confirm my assumption or not.
There must be no other circuit connected. one arduino, one nrf24 and one sketch

best regards

[JeeLet]

look here https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors#custom-unit-of-measurement
the "CUSTOM UNIT OF MEASUREMENT" part

tests with type V_LEVEL or V_UNIT_PREFIX

if it works the problem comes from the version of MySensors Arduino library ?
Library API

@Branther said in Battery voltage sensor is no longer recognized by Homeassistant:

3802 !TSF:MSG:SEND,122-122-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=38,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=1,st=NACK:15.6
3811 !TSF:MSG:SEND,122-122-0-0,s=2,c=1,t=38,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=2,st=NACK:5.7

st=NACK means the message isn't acknowledged by the gateway. So could it be the message isn't received by home assistant?

[Branther]

sorry for my late reply. i don't have time to continue at the moment.
but i will continue to report when i have more time. at the moment it is very complicated.
the problem still exists and i will report back.
thanks for your feedback

[Branther]

so, hello again.
i must apologize. the errors were mine.
I had several defective nrf24l
i also had a couple of faulty ESP8266s to top it off
In addition, the power supply regulated to 3.3v for the transmitter Arduino was not sufficient. etc. etc..
I have experimented a lot.
Now finally everything runs as expected
(I hope for a long time)
this post can be closed.
best regards.

[JeeLet]

thanks for the feedback.

can we say that with cheap material (no-name) we pay the rest of the bill later?
(what was the model??)

[Branther]

yes, absolutely. i always order all my components from aliexpress.
i don't think it makes any difference which dealer i use there.
you can be lucky and sometimes not
sometimes you can tell right away, for example an NRF module didn't have an IRQ. sometimes you have to search specifically to get the nrf24l plus model for example, which is different from the normal nrf module.
in germany the parts are 3-4 times more expensive.
so i put up with it. if you have several components, you can swap them and limit the error.
thanks again
