Wall mounted 'mood light'

AWI

@TheoL Thank you for the tips. I painted the board on all sides. I would prefer real wood but MDF is really easy to model and I had a few sq meter left. I hate the dust though. For mounting i used a hook which fits in hole.

@gloob I will post the sketch after cleaning it up. I need to add on/off/ scene button functionality.

I allways try to make my nodes as autonomous as possible. That way i'm not fully controller dependent and it's more safe.

@AWI said:

...and discarded some of the safety measures :blush:...

I see you've got something soldered where the fuse should be, but for the rest I can't see what you've left out. Could you tell us which components you eventually ended up using? (or not using, whatever you prefer :))

AWI

@mvdarend I have not used the SSR, the varistors and the fuse on the low voltage side...

AWI

I have updated the sketch to allow for independent operation and added a few light effects. The sketch can be used for any "Neopixel" (WS2812(B)) LED strip/ stick/ circle. Uses V_RBG and/ or V_STATUS and separate actuators (or the push button with long push) to switch the Pattern and Alarm. A few examples:

"Alarm"

"Fireplace"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yx5zV5yQmo

"Candle light" and "Rainbow" mostly non blocking code. If somebody want to add please do so.

The sketch, heavily commented. Can always be improved

hello,

S_INFO inly exist in the dev branch.

That also means you have to convert the 1.5 sketch. Convert instructions here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NKq5uuNdnxF5jWnum7VT32mbKLjuvqlx2A5D1qQ-H3Q/edit#

Adam McCartney

@mickaelr30 , did you ever get this working with 1.5?

i've got the upgrade instructions, but struggling to reverse it so it works with my current setup. Don't think i'm quite ready to upgrade all my nodes to dev quite yet.

AWI

@Adam-McCartney add these lines in the header and you will have it working with the production version...

// V_TEXT & V_INFO when not using the DEVELOPMENT version 
const byte V_TEXT = 47 ;					// values taken from development edition MyMessage.h
const byte S_INFO = 36 ;

Adam McCartney

@AWI said:

// V_TEXT & V_INFO when not using the DEVELOPMENT version
const byte V_TEXT = 47 ; // values taken from development edition MyMessage.h
const byte S_INFO = 36 ;

awesome, thanks!

I'm more of a butcher than a surgeon. I can quite happily take things apart, but fixing things usually goes right over my head!!

Mehdi HAMIDA

I really love this project.
May I can include it in all of my sensors (doorbell, thermostat, alarm,...).

Really sounds great, thanks

Mehdi HAMIDA

Is there a way to get your wiring schema ?

AWI

@Mehdi-HAMIDA There is nothing to it. A standard MySensors node (5v) with the strip connected to D5 and a button between ground and D4.

const int stripPin = 5 ;                                    // pin where 2812 LED strip is connected
const int buttonPin = 4 ;                                   // push button

Mehdi HAMIDA

@AWI OK, just ordered the PCB
thx

mfalkvidd

@AWI: Won't this part of your sketch create sort of an endless loop?

        case RGB_TextColorChild:                            // Text color from controller
            if (message.type == V_TEXT) {                   // if get color from text child
                gw.request(RGB_TextColorChild, V_TEXT);

AWI

@mfalkvidd Good observation. Probably the the result of an 'efficient' copy/paste :flushed:

The line

    gw.request(RGB_TextColorChild, V_TEXT);

I there with no reason, can be deleted...

Tore André Rosander

Im building the same light, but i use 12v LED strips controlled with mosfets. Is it possible to use the same scetch?

AWI

@Tore-André-Rosander If you use standard 12v strips it won't work as such. The ws2812/11 chips in the strip used make it possible to address the individual led's.

Tore André Rosander

@AWI Is this code for version 1.5?
Im trying to compile it for the dev (v2) but i get a lot of errors.
Mostly alot of code that "was not declared in this scope".

EDIT: Just found your link to the "Conversion guide", will have look at it!
