ESP8266 WiFi gateway issue

Yveaux

I suspect a problem with the length or definition of variables,

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

Yveaux

Possibly a variable somewhere that has a different size on ESP

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

@Hoffan said:

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 ?

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;87t Version
3;1;1;1;3;80t Version
3;1;1;1;3;53t Version

3;1;1;1;3;20t Version
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

@snow

Could you perhaps enable "#define MY_DEBUG" in the gateway sketch?

Would alos be interesting to see the result when you add

Serial.println(inputString);

Here is the output from the gateway console when I rotate knob on the encoder.

It almost looks like Domoticz sends the "Version" stuff. Is it possible to see what Domoticz sends? Anot logs over there?

I'll try to build Serial Gateway and do the same test

There is a small problem with domoticz regarding the light level (fixed in beta #3563)
When the slider was set to 100%, around 93% was send to the node

BUT, what domoticz sends, is OK, there is NO version stuff added (really strange your seeing this!)

I made a test sketch, and this is the output:
