3 in 1 incl battery monitor

[the cosmic gate]

I'am trying to build some 3 in 1 ( motion / temp / hum ) incl. battery monitor .
At the moment i try to combine these sketches , as result

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>  
#include <DHT.h>

#define HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN 4

#define DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR 3   // The digital input you attached your motion sensor.  (Only 2 and 3 generates interrupt!)
#define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2 // Usually the interrupt = pin -2 (on uno/nano anyway)


unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)

void setup()

   analogReference(INTERNAL1V1);
#else
   analogReference(INTERNAL);
#endif
  gw.begin();
  dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 

  // Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Humidity/Motion", "1.0");


 pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT);      // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input

    }
    gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));

      Serial.println(humidity);
  }

  
 
  // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute. 
  gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
}

Would this work ? ( sketch verification is okay :) )

[the cosmic gate]

I also moded the arduino pro mini 8 Mhz like : http://www.mysensors.org/build/battery
are there more (sketch) mod's possible to make it run as long as possible on 2 x AA

Look here for more info about battery operations: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/486/my-2aa-battery-sensor

@the-cosmic-gate What you can do is combine the radio actions (gw.send) in one burst at the end of the sketch. That way you avoid having the radio "on" during sensor reading. The sensebender sketch can be inspiring too.

[the cosmic gate]

@AWI
If i remove the (gw.send) action, the code would be

#include <MySensor.h>

#define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2 // Usually the interrupt = pin -2 (on uno/nano anyway)


unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
int oldBatteryPcnt = 0;

  boolean tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == HIGH; 
        
  Serial.println(tripped);

@the-cosmic-gate That is true but you will lose the MySensors functionality ;-) which is probably not your intention.
What I meant is that you combine the gw.send actions in one "burst" or at least don't have the radio on while waiting for a (DHT) sensor to complete.

like this part of code from the sensebender sketch

if (tx) {
    measureCount = 0;
    float temperature = (isMetric ? data.celsiusHundredths : data.fahrenheitHundredths) / 100.0;
     
    int humidity = data.humidityPercent;
    Serial.print("T: ");Serial.println(temperature);
    Serial.print("H: ");Serial.println(humidity);
    
    gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature,1));
    gw.send(msgHum.set(humidity));
    lastTemperature = temperature;
    lastHumidity = humidity;
}

Dont know if im answring the question (or i understand it)...
Do you mean @AWI that if you put the gw.*** together?

gw.begin();
  dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 
 pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT);      // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input
 
  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_MOT, S_MOTION);

put all the gw. *** together it will not cause the radio be on during DHT setup and readings like:

dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 
 pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT);      // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input

gw.begin(); 
  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_MOT, S_MOTION);

Now I'am getting confused :)

The thing i want to do is to make this 3in1 sketch , an 4 in 1 where the 4th is the battery sensors.
When i copy and paste this sketches together, i want to arrange one sketch who can run als long as possible on 2xAA batteries.
So if there are some tricks to make this sketch more battery friendle, so it runs longer on this 2 AA then it try to arrange is.
So As @AWI said i'll removed all the gw.send instructions, which gives me the result that the mysensors function is gone.
Then i tried again and put all the gw.send instructions "together".
But when i read you're reactien @sundberg84 this is not okay, or are there even more options to combine rules to make the sketch more battery friendly ?

Thnx for all the input

[AWI]

@the-cosmic-gate The reason to group all the "gw.send" instructions together (at the end of the sketch) is that the radio can "sleep" during the temperature and humidity readings. There are many ways (other than HW) to save battery power, like: only send values when a certain threshold is exceeded, decrease update frequency etc.

Just an example for a sensor which uses 11 uA in idle and sends updates only when needed (including a once in a hour 'heartbeat' of all sensors).

I'am not getting this clear / working :(
Could somebody help me to complete this 3in1 incl battery monitoring sketch working? Thnx

[sundberg84]

What does your serial or error log tell you when you upload the sketch you have? And which sketch/code do you use at this point?

[AWI]

@the-cosmic-gate

I changed your original sketch a little. It now includes a conditional send for the "tripped" values and groups the conditional sends for all values.

I was not able to test as I'm using a different library for the DHT.

Have fun..

working nice for 2 day's now !
Thnx a lot @AWI !!!

Something strange: when I look in the IDE console the battery % is displayed. But using Domoticz there's no battery % display / selectable ? What's wrong , or do I forget something ?

[icebob]

In Domoticz you can see the battery level in Setup->Devices.

If you would like to see on a chart, you have to send the battery level or voltage to the controller as a sensor value too. After it, you can see as this:

@icebob

Hi, I'm a newbee just started with MySensors. I built the first temp/hum sensor, and I'm trying to plot the battery level in a graph too. In this discussion you mention that I need to send the battery level to the controller as sensor value. Can you please share with me the code which I should use? Thanks a lot.

Marco

[icebob]

Yes, I can.

This is the definition of message for battery level:

// Battery sensor (A0)
#define CHILD_ID_BATTERY 199
#define BATTERY_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN 0
MyMessage msgBattery(CHILD_ID_BATTERY, V_VOLTAGE);

And this is the sender function:

// 1M, 470K divider across battery and using internal ADC ref of 1.1V
// Sense point is bypassed with 0.1 uF cap to reduce noise at that point
// ((1e6+470e3)/470e3)*1.1 = Vmax = 3.44 Volts
// 3.44/1023 = Volts per bit = 0.003363075
#define VBAT_PER_BITS 0.003363075
#define VMIN 1.9  // Battery monitor lower level. Vmin_radio=1.9V
#define VMAX 3.00  // Vmin<Vmax<=3.44
#define VCC_CORRECTION (3.4 / 3.33)
int lastBatteryLevel;

bool sendBatteryLevel(bool force = false) {
  int value = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN);

  float batVoltage  = value * VBAT_PER_BITS / VCC_CORRECTION;
  int batLevel = static_cast<int>(((batVoltage-VMIN)/(VMAX-VMIN))*100.);
  if (batLevel != lastBatteryLevel || force) {
    gw.sendBatteryLevel(batLevel);
    gw.send(msgBattery.set(batVoltage, 2));
    
    lastBatteryLevel = batLevel;
  }
  return true;
}```

Great, thanks for your quick response. Implementing now. Looks good.
