This is my first try at getting MySensors to work.

I've connected a SerialGateway to the Pi, and configured a DHT22 sensor. But no values are recorded.

Logs from the pi:

<- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
<- I_ID_REQUEST 255;255;3;0;3;
<- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;0;3;0;9;read: 255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0:
<- I_ID_REQUEST 255;255;3;0;3;

Serial output from the sensor:

req node id
send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
T: 22.70
req node id
send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
H: 31.10
req node id
send: 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
H: 31.00

What can I be doing wrong? Seems like the sensor is requesting a node ID but not getting any?

Thank you for any kind of response!

Regards, Martin

@gogomartin

Currently mysensors plugin only support static node id. Try configuring static node id in sensor code. Hint.. Gw. Begin (null, node id)

Let me know if it's works

Dheeraj,

Good work!

Is possible to send sensor battery level info?

[Dheeraj]

@ricardot

battery sensor visualization is WIP..

[Ralf H]

hey,
I really like your plugin now that I finally managed to get everything working. :)
But I would also like to use a BH1750 Light sensor with your plugin. I made a sensorbox with PIR to switch on lights for a minute when movement is detected, but I only want to switch on light when it's dark enough. Is it planned to add support for this?

[Dheeraj]

This post is deleted!

[Dheeraj]

@ricardot added support for battery level stats 0.8.9

[Dheeraj]

@Ralf-H sure will add support for light sensor

I would like to help you make a color picker for rgb leds and a slider for random pwm outputs :D
-edit-

deviceClasses = [
        MySensorsDHT
        MySensorsBMP
        MySensorsPIR
        MySensorsSwitch
        MySensorsPulseMeter
        MySensorsButton
        MySensorBattery
        MySensorsDevDimmer
      ]

and

 class MySensorsDevDimmer extends env.devices.DimmerActuator

    constructor: (@config,lastState, @board) ->
      @id = config.id
      @name = config.name
      @_state = lastState?.state?.value
      env.logger.info "MySensorsDevDimmer" , @id , @name, @_state

      @board.on('rfValue', (result) =>
        if result.sender is @config.nodeid and result.type is
        V_LIGHT and result.sensor is @config.sensorid
          state = (if parseInt(result.value) is 1 then on else off)
          env.logger.info "<- MySensorDevDimmer " , result
          @_setState(state)
        )
      super()

    changeStateTo: (state) ->
      assert state is on or state is off
      if state is true then _state = 1  else _state = 0
      datas = {}
      datas =
      {
        "destination": @config.nodeid,
        "sensor": @config.sensorid,
        "type"  : V_LIGHT,
        "value" : _state,
        "ack"   : 1
      }
      @board._rfWrite(datas).then ( () =>
        @_setState(state)
      )

But i get :
Could not initialize the plugin "mysensors": MySensorsDevDimmer is not defined

I know that this won`t actually work because of the :

 state = (if parseInt(result.value) is 1 then on else off) 

and the :

  if state is true then _state = 1  else _state = 0

What I don't get is why does it throw me that error. (Don't go hard on me, I just learned the basics of coffee script only for this)

check the pimatic-daemon.log file and what kind of error exception your are getting . not sure if you have enable the "logLevel": "debug", in config.json for pimatic.

Also, you need to add entry in device-config-schema.coffee schema file.
if nothing works share the log file with me..

I'm also new to coffee or nodejs and struggled a lot understanding the coffee script , basically, still in learning phase..

@Dheeraj, I have been looking all day for how to configure static node id , meanwhile I heard of mysensors last night so pardon me if I didn't find the doc that explain it. Can you point me in the right direction?

[Sebastien Vayrette-Gavard]

I didn't search enough, http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/753/static-node-id-and-other-unanswered-questions

Hello, I am new with controler. I already have some temperature sensors and other controls, but until now I did not use any controller,
I am not familiar with linux, and I need help with instalation of controler on raspbery 2.
I am done with OS instalation, I am using image NOOBS.
I try to install Pimatic acording this procedure, http://pimatic.org/guide/getting-started/installation/
And now I am not sure what next.
Please can anybody help me?
Thanks

[funky81]

@jurasek I found out that pimatic installation in the website quite general.
for more details, you can use following link for the forum.
it gives me clear idea and more details step by step

[jurasek]

Thanks, I have a pimatic runing now. I would like connect NRF24 directly to the RPI is this possible? How can I setup mysensors plugin for this?

Thanks

[Dheeraj]

@jurasek connecting NRF24L01 to RPi directly is possible you will find good amount of references if you search this form.

Hello @Dheeraj
Any info about how to setup a pulsecount sensor?

[Sebastien Vayrette-Gavard]

@Dheeraj is the light sensor supported? I am getting

20:32:05.069 [pimatic] warn: no plugin found for device "Light1" of class "MySensorLight"!

when starting pimatic with

{
      "id": "Light1",
      "name": "Lighti1",
      "class": "MySensorLight",
      "nodeid": 11,
      "sensorid": 0
    }

yet I am able to see the sensor in pimatic's logs
