Test your home made controller with MockMySensors (w/ tutorial)

[TimO]

Very good idea! Thanks a lot!
I've tested it against my OH2 binding and it works like a charm.

One thing didn't work though, for S_DIMMER there is a value of 255 submitted, which was read from the eeprom. At this point OH2 grumbles because the value is >100%. ;-)

@barduino said:

My question is: Is there a more elegant solution for this?

Not very elegant, but just a different idea. Ability to extend it to more then 24 sensors and 1.5. I built it to test my own controller script. Not complete yet...I doubt it will ever be ;)

@TimO
Yes, it still has the init value of the eprom...
Good feed back, i'll initialize it to 0 or something.
Thanks

[barduino]

@AWI
Very interesting and compacts, probably avoids the memory limitations on UNO.
Great feedback, thanks!

[akbooer]

@barduino

Please excuse newness and ignorance (which go hand-in-hand.) Do I understand correctly that this sketch replaces a serial gateway? If so, what changes might be required to make this work for an ethernet gateway? Or, perhaps, do I have this all completely wrong?

I'm wanting to check out an ethernet connection between a Vera controller (or equivalent) and a Uno, on which I plan to run an internet gateway when I have built some sensors. Not yet having connected a radio, can I use this to mock up some sensors sending data to the Vera gateway plugin, just from an ethernet connected Uno?

Any help appreciated.

[barduino]

@akbooer

Hi, this sketch does not replace a gateway. It simulates a node with many sensors.

So its like having an arduino with 24 sensors connected to it (all fake, done by software) it still needs the gateway and radios, etc.

Some folks here in the forum have made experiences in creating sensors directly on a gateway, not sure if it is supported.

If so, it might be possible to Mock sensors in the gatway using such a technique...

Food for thought/investigation,

Cheers

[akbooer]

OK and thanks for the quick response!
I knew I knew nothing.

So, just to be sure, I run this on an Arduino with a radio, but not sensors. This is going to talk to my Arduino gateway, with radio, and either serial or ethernet connection to the controller, whichever I choose.

[barduino]

@akbooer

That is correct.

Also, because i'm having some issues updating the source code in git hub here is the latest version (lib 1.5) MockMySensors.ino and l(lib 1.4) FakeMySensorsOrig.ino

Cheers

[akbooer]

Thanks so much.

[barduino]

@ch3b7

Very interesting.
I was not able to repruduce what you are describing above.

According to your message we have:

• Node 50 sending to node 0

• Child sensor id 0

• Message type 1 : SET

• MessageSub Type 16: V_TRIPPED

• Payload type 7: P_CUSTOM

• Payload length 5

Which is very strange.
In MockMySensors there is no childid=0, the first sensor is #define ID_S_DOOR 1 and the node ID is set to 254 (but perhpas you have changed this)
Also V_TRIPPED should be sending a bolean value...

Could you upload your scetch?

@ch3b7 Sorry to have confused you but my sketch was meant for inspiration and as an alternative method to "stress test" the controller and network.
The version I published is firing an enormous amount of messages at the controller for each sensor. The test data is in myTestData in the format {sensor, V_type, Dataformat, start_value, end_value, stepsize} You can fill the array with anything you want (also "not allowed" combinations).
I suggest you remove the "ack" which is sent with each message at firtst {gw.send(Msg.set(i, false ))};

[rene_2k2]

@AWI, @ch3b7
The loop may be caused by a bug in the source code :

 for (int i = 0; i < NoTests ; i++) { 
    [...]
        for (byte j = myTestData[i][3]; i < myTestData[i][4] ; j += myTestData[i][5])
        {
          gw.send(Msg.set(i, true ));

Isn't there a mix between 'i' and 'j' ? Shouldn't it be

 for (int i = 0; i < NoTests ; i++) { 
    [...]
        for (byte j = myTestData[i][3]; j < myTestData[i][4] ; j += myTestData[i][5])
        {
          gw.send(Msg.set(j, true ));

Sorry, cannot test it right now...

[AWI]

@rene_2k2 you're right, thanks

[ch3b7]

@awi can you upload the fixed SKETCH ?? pls! thank you!!

[akbooer]

I'm most grateful for your work on this sketch - I've used it to exercise my gateway as I developed and debugged my Vera emulation environment called 'openLuup'. I now have a controller for MySensors running on Vera, BeagleBone Black, and an Arduino Yun, all running the ALTUI interface, so it looks like the attached.

Many thanks for the code and the initial explanations.

[barduino]

@akbooer let me tell you...
It looks fanastic!

[akbooer]

Well, thank you. But I have to say that the L&F is all down to the amazing ALTUI plugin produced by @amg0 on the Vera BB. I just do the behind-the-scenes bits which make it work on platforms other than Vera.

[AWI]

A "new" version of a stress test or "Fake sensor". As mentioned in a previous post it will never be complete. But I gave it an update to make it easier to work with.

This version (MySensors 1.5) will take an array of test values ; present them to the gateway/controller and spit out a range of values for each sensor in the testArray.

Version below is fixed node 50, 9 sensors and sends data every 0.1 sec.
