ESP8266 WiFi gateway issue

[Yveaux]

@snow Could be a 8 (ATMega32) vs. 32 bit (ESP8266) issue.

1032       = 0x0000 0408
1107297279 = 0x4200 03FF

The lower 16 bits are more or less equal.
Could you post the serial output of the ESP8266 gateway for such a set of LIGHT_LEVELs and a screenshot of MYSController as you did before ?

MsgID#32 is from the serial gateway, as I understand it...

@Yveaux I have made another test on two gateways at the same time. Here is the results.
Serial gateway (Arduino NANO)

ESP8266 gateway (ESP-07)

I suspect a problem with the length or definition of variables, but I'm not a good programmer. ;)

1107296631 - 383 = 0x4200000
1107296622 - 366 = 0x4200000

Msg54 again shows subtype 22, which is for V_HVAC_SPEED. It occurred on both the serial gateway example (top of thread) and the ESP. It seems to mess up the message at the node level. Perhaps not a problem with the gateway.

Agree. Possibly a variable somewhere that has a different size on ESP.
Hopefully tonight I can have a better look.

Pretty sure I found the cause: the messages exchanged between sensor and gateway contain int types.
These have a size of 2 bytes on Arduino and 4 bytes on ESP.
An int sent from the Arduino is sent as 2 bytes, but the ESP expects 4. The upper 2 will be filled with garbage.

Still a hypothesis which has to be verified & fixed.
To be continued!

[Yveaux]

@snow Please try the code in the development branch , where hek did an excellent job to standardize on datatypes being exchanged between nodes.
This will probably solve your issue.

[snow]

The development version is working OK :satisfied:
Thanks guys for your hard work.

[Yveaux]

@snow great to hear!
Glad I could help (and my hunch was correct :-) )

[Hoffan]

@snow

Did you use the Development version of the ESP8266 Wifi gatewavy or for the sensor

[hek]

@Hoffan
You should probably use it on both sides to be sure to get the same size on the data types.

[Hoffan]

All the sensors that i have include before i upgrade the ESP8266 Wifi GW is now working

But its not working to include more, Nothing happens in Veran when i press start
but the gateway say this

0;0;3;0;9Client 0: 0;0;3;0;5;1t version

every time i press start

At the moment I only changed the gateway. It's already solved my problem with incorrect values.

[Hoffan]

@snow

But is your include button working now?
Or maybe you don't use Vera as a controller

[hek]

@Hoffan

The print looks a bit weird. I'll have to do some tests.

[snow]

@Hoffan No. I'm using DomoticZ

[Hoffan]

@hek

That sounds good, Just ask if you want me to test something..

[Hoffan]

@hek

Any News here ?

[snow]

Having another problem with a ESP8266 running as the gateway. Sensor build on Arduino Mini Pro loaded with example sketch DimmableLightWithRotaryEncoderButton.ino. Sensor and gateway firmware compiled from latest development branch v1.6 library.
The controller is a domoticz.

This is a output on the gateway console when I turn rotary encoder on the sensor.

0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.

This is the output from gateway console when I move dimmer slider on the Domoticz

3;1;1;1;3;13t Version
3;1;1;1;3;73t Version

The problem is that the ESP8266 gateway append unnecessary characters t Version at the end of each line.
Also when dimmer slider is on the position 6%, gateway output is 3;1;1;1;3;73t Version Correct value should be 7 not 73
