Home Assistant - How to recognize MySensors nodes

humblehacker

Sure enough-

WARNING:mysensors.mysensors:Error decoding message from gateway, probably received bad byte.

@martinhjelmare- How do I create a new gateway instance? Simply restart?

@humblehacker

If using home assistant, it's enough to restart home assistant, to get a new gateway instance and reconnect.

Other than the fact that my log seems to think its yesterday... I just need to find out why I can't use MySensors with Any ATMega32u4 devices... Attiny85/Trinket support would be nice too but I dont need to push my luck...

I'm still stuck with the import of sensors to home-assitant. Can someone please post his configuration.yaml? I Wonder if I made a stupid configuration error there.
Do I need the "inclusion mode" of the Gateway or does home-assistant handle the detection of new sensors? In the serial monitor all the communication between the nodes and the Gateway is looking good, but in home-assistant they won't show up.

@kielnino

Home assistant adds the new device after the sensor has presented itself to the gateway and sent at least one value. So proper presentation messages has to be sent by the node and received by the gateway. These include node id, sensor child id, sketch name and presentation "S_VALUE". Then one value should be sent using the correct "V_VALUE".

See the mysensor API documentation for the S_VALUES and V_VALUES.

See below for the sensors excerpt from my config. If you have multiple sensor platforms you need to increment the sensor name with a number: sensor, sensor 2, sensor 3, etc. All sensor platforms should be one continuing block in the config. Note that this is not my config for my github fork of home assistant. For that one, you need to add a separate domain in the config for mysensors.

Hi @martinhjelmare

Just wanted to first say thank you for the port of MySensors to Home-Assistant. I'm currently in the process of switching from Domoticz to Home-Assistant, and have a quick question about getting my node recognized.

I have a Doorbell/Chome monitor, and it gets the ID from the gateway no problem. It shows up in HA after pressing the doorbell button (as a motion sensor, since that is the trigger) but I can't control the chime itself (aka, whether the bell rings if the door is pressed or not) which is set as a light switch.

I know from reading this thread that in order for a device to first appear in HA, it must send a command to the gateway. Is there any way for me through HA to force a command to the childid light switch, so that it will show up on its own?

Thanks!

Hi!

First I'd just want to make clear that I'm not the original author or maintainer of pymysensors, which is the mysensors API that home assistant uses. I have just made some pull requests to pymysensors and I'd like to improve the functionality, if possible.

To answer your question, mysensors switches are not yet supported in home assistant. That's what one of my pull requests want to solve, but it has yet to be merged. There is currently no way of forcing a node to resend it's presentation, if that info is lacking on the gateway side. This could be solved after version 1.6 of mysensors gets released but it will take more development, both on pymysensors and home assistant sides.

If you want to make sure that the doorbell shows up in the GUI, before the first press of the button, just send the sensor value to the gateway, in the end of the setup function in your node sketch.

For example, if you have defined a msgMotion for the doorbell:

gw.send(msgMotion.set("0"));

Hi @martinhjelmare

I decided to try this on a simplier sketch that I have, but still no luck. I added this line gw.send(lightMsgW.set("1")); to the end of void setup(). The sensor shows up at the top of the States screen in HA, but doesn't let me actually control it, and it doesn't show up in Switches or Lights.

Here is the sketch that I am using.

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

As I wrote above, switches are not supported yet, in the default releases of home assistant. That support only exists in my personal branches at github.

@martinhjelmare

And how would I install your branch of home-assistant then so that I can use it?

martinhjelmare

You can test it by cloning my fork of home-assistant (https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant), then checkout my branch "mysensors-component-switch". Then install it with pip. See my console log below. BIG DISCLAIMER: This is work in progress and under development. You are cloning my branch, which is based off the home assistant dev branch, which is not a stable release.

You can see that I get a warning about bad byte, after first start. I solve this by restarting hass.

Your home assistant config for mysensors should now be structured like this:

mysensors:
  port:
    - '/dev/ttyUSB0'
  #  - '/dev/ttyACM0'
  debug: true
  persistence: true
  persistence_file:
    - '/home/martin/.homeassistant/mysensors.json'
  #  - '/home/martin/.homeassistant/mysensors2.json'
  version: '1.5'

sensor:
  platform: mysensors

switch:
  platform: mysensors

It looks like we're trying to do similar things with HA and MYS... I've been working on a rotary encoder switch for colored lights (eg Limitlessled/HUE etc...) and had been trying to program it through MQTT. However, I just now noticed the LEDDIMMERwithROTARYENCODER sketch in the MySensors examples so I thought I might try using MYS instead of MQTT. Of course that leads right back to the lack of support for MYS Switches in HASS... Perhaps there's a solution for both of our problems if we use an MQTT Gateway instead? I've worked with MQTT and NodeRED before and it was pretty straight forward, but then again I've been having a much harder time understanding the way its implemented in HASS... So I might need to work with it some more before I can be of any help testing the MQTT MYS Gateway with HA...

Hi!

I also want to try the MQTT gateway together with HA. MQTT support is well supported in HA, and looking at the MQTT protocol in mysensors dev branch it looks promising. I have just got some ethernet modules and more nanos, so as soon as I find some time, I'll get started. We can post our progress somewhere here whoever gets it going first.

@humblehacker @martinhjelmare

Sounds like an interesting idea to me. I have never used a MQTT gateway before, so i'm going in a little blind. I think I have the server so far (mosquitto) running on the same RPI as my HA install; so now looking into the next step.

One thing though, would this replace my current serial gateway, or be an addition to it?

drock1985

I've been trying to get MQTT working using the Dev branch here (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2352/guide-setting-up-and-testing-mqtt-client-gateway/) and have my configuration.yaml file looking like this for my W5100MQTT broker:

#MySensors MQTT Test
mqtt 1:
  broker: 192.168.86.198
  port: 1883
#  client_id: home-assistant-1
  keepalive: 60
#  username: USERNAME
#  password: PASSWORD

The Serial output from Arduino shows that I connected successfully

0;0;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 1.6.0-beta)
0;0;3;0;9;Radio init successful.
IP: 192.168.86.112
0;0;3;0;9;Attempting MQTT connection...
0;0;3;0;9;MQTT connected
0;0;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0

But, Home-Assistant isn't registering the broker, and I have this error in the Dev section:

15-12-15 15:32:17 homeassistant.components.mqtt: Missing required configuration items in mqtt: broker
15-12-15 15:32:17 homeassistant.bootstrap: component mqtt failed to initialize

Does anyone have any ideas? @humblehacker @martinhjelmare @hek ?

Sorry, havent tried HomeAssistant myself.

drock1985

Thanks @hek , had to ask :)

Would it be possible to get a Home-Assistant dedicated sub-forum please?

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

What do you set MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS to on the arduino side?

You got it.
