Has anyone had an issue adding multiple dallas temp sensors?
Every time I add a new board the old one stops reporting and I still only end up with 1 sensor...
(SOLVED)
PROBLEM CAUSE: some sort of unclear data in the memory of the board(sparkfun redboard), i think..
SOLUTION: uploading mock-sensor sketch and afterwards the wanted sketch
i soldered the de-CAP and tried within 2 meters range, but it didnt change.
than i got back to my office and uploaded serial gateway sketch to one board while the other board was still with repeater sketch.
the serial gateway showed correct log at the IDE like in the thread that Wijbe-Fryslan mentioned, but the repeater still didnt receive its data.
than i uploaded mock-sensor sketch to the second board and than the data appeared at the serial gateway log.
so i did the same procedure of uploading mock sketch , and than uploading the wanted sketch for each board (repeater and humidity) and went to the controller to check it and it worked!! thanks to the new original domoticz app i could check the log online for "sketch version" lines and afterwards i did reception distance metering with battery powered repeater node.
now all is working fine but there is something that disturbs me - the domoticz log showed same node number for the repeater and the new humidity sketch. is that ok? or i should define manual node number inside the sketch?
HUGH THANKS TO EVERYBODY
In most home automation scenarios you usually have a (locally installed) controller software where you act on incoming data from the sensors deployed in your home.
With "act" I mean everything from logging data (for graphing) to automatically send out commands to actors.
I.e. If movement is detected (by a motion sensor) in a room after sunset then turn on ceiling light for two minutes.
So... the controller holds all the "rules" in your building automation setup.
You can have a very small MySensors setup where sensors/actors send messages between each other and the "rules" is hardcoded in the nodes. But this will soon get very messy to maintain. You'd need at least one Relay node to get this working (with hard-coded id's in the nodes).
The controllers can often run headless on simple hardware like Raspberry. Check out our list of supported controllers.
Well, I've cleared EEProm, changed nanos, fixed new IDs much higher than ever manually and eventually after few minutes Domoticz sent readings to node so now it have 2 pulsemeters on 2 node ID's.
