gw.request() and domoticz - problem with get V_DISTANCE

[Eoreh]

Hey !
I have a problem with receiving from the controller Domoticz (V2.3799) the V_DISTANCE by gw.request()
MySensors is 1.5 - Latest Release.

I wrote a short test program that shows a problem.

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

#define CHILD_ID 1                              // Id of the sensor child
MySensor gw;
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_DISTANCE);
MyMessage msg2(CHILD_ID, V_VAR1);
unsigned long SEND_FREQUENCY = 3000;  // 1 sekunda = 1000;

void setup()
{
	gw.begin(incomingMessage);
	gw.sendSketchInfo("Test", "1.1");
	gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_DISTANCE);
}

void loop()
{
	gw.process();
	gw.request(CHILD_ID, V_DISTANCE, 0);
	gw.request(CHILD_ID, V_VAR1, 0);
		delay(2000);
			gw.send(msg.set(0));
		delay(2000);
			gw.send(msg2.set(1));
		delay(2000);
	gw.sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY);
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
	if (message.type == V_VAR1) {
		Serial.println("Received V_VAR1 from gw ");
	}
	if (message.type == V_DISTANCE) {
	Serial.println("Received V_DISTANCE from gw ");
	}
	Serial.println("incomingMessage");
}

I do not know why I get message for V_VAR1 and didnt get for V_DISTANCE. ?
And short LOG from my node here:

I dont know why i get only message for V_VAR1 and I didnt get for V_DISTANCE. ?

[hek]

You're issuing a gw.sleep(). That shuts down the radio thus no incoming data.

[Eoreh]

Thx for quick answer Hek !.
I comment this line

	//gw.sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY);

upload sketch by still no have log from "V_DISTANCE". Any other idea ?

[hek]

Use gw.wait(2000) instead of delay()

[Eoreh]

Hi !.
Sure next sketch I will use. But the problem looks like it is elsewhere.
I found that if i change in this sketch

• S_DISTANCE -> S_LIGHT
• V_DISTANCE -> V_LIGHT

its works ! :smiley: Maybe just this type (V_DISTANCE) is not supported in Domoticz and gw.request() (?)

So now I will start a little more test. I'm going to check other types.

[Eoreh]

.. after some tests. If Im not wrong only few messages / variables - is support by gw.request() and domoticz.
I used sketch belowe to tests, and i found only supports for:

• S_LIGHT / V_LIGHT
• S_DIMMER / V_DIMMER
• S_BINARY / V_LIGHT
• S_BINARY / V_STATUS

My check list is in this sketch for tests in section comments

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

/*  list of checked types /variables */

/* supported by domoticz and gw.request -> type/variable:
	S_LIGHT / V_LIGHT 
	S_DIMMER / V_DIMMER 
	S_BINARY / V_LIGHT
	S_BINARY / V_STATUS
*/
/* NOT supported by domoticz and gw.request -> type/variable:
	S_DOOR / V_TRIPPED
	S_MOTION / V_TRIPPED
	S_DISTANCE / V_DISTANCE 
	S_TEMP / V_TEMP 
	S_BINARY / V_WATT
	S_HUM / V_HUM
	S_WIND / V_WIND
	S_POWER / V_KWH

@Eoreh you found out the hard way.. Domoticz only supports actuators with gw.request exception is V_TEXT (development) an the new CUSTOM type..
