IRSensor

[foggy]

Hi All,

I may have misunderstood the use case here.
Following the build http://www.mysensors.org/build/ir

I have connected only an IR Receive Sensor to Power 5V Grnd & Pin 8.
IR Transmitter is not connected

What I am trying to achieve is to press a button on a remote and then have domoticz act upon it through a script.

The Sensor serial monitor appears to be telling me that it is communicating with the Gateway, at least I don't see "Fail" anywhere. I can also see reference to IRSensor in the Domoticz log. So far so good.

A couple of questions
However I don't appear to see any device in the Domoticz list that I can add. Have I missed a step?

I can see that some of the code has been commented out. Do I need to uncomment some of this (or all of it) in order for it to decode the IR button. I notice that some of it has // and some of it has /.../ Not really sure if I am supposed to uncomment all of it or just some.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes.

James.

Are you sure the IR sensor isn't broken? AdAfruit has a good tutorial on this link text

Thank you. I don't think it is broken. If I press a key on the remote I can see some output in the serial monitor. I just don't see any device in domoticz.

Is the ir node not showing up in the mysensor gateway under the hardware settings tab?

[foggy]

Yes - The gateway is shown under Hardware. I am using it with other nodes Temp sensors.

I can also see the IR sensor in the Domoticz log

I just can't find a device I can add.

Best wishes.

Devices in Domoticz is not added until a correct first value is sent, its not enough with a presentation - is this the case?

@sundberg84
Thank you. I thought that might be the case. Hence my second original question

I can see that some of the code has been commented out. Do I need to uncomment some of this (or all of it) in order for it to decode the IR button. I notice that some of it has // and some of it has /.../ Not really sure if I am supposed to uncomment all of it or just some.

// Dumps out the decode_results structure.
// Call this after IRrecv::decode()
// void * to work around compiler issue
//void dump(void *v) {
//  decode_results *results = (decode_results *)v
/*void dump(decode_results *results) {
  int count = results->rawlen;
  if (results->decode_type == UNKNOWN) {
    Serial.print("Unknown encoding: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == NEC) {
    Serial.print("Decoded NEC: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == SONY) {
    Serial.print("Decoded SONY: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == RC5) {
    Serial.print("Decoded RC5: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == RC6) {
    Serial.print("Decoded RC6: ");
  }
  else if (results->decode_type == PANASONIC) {	
    Serial.print("Decoded PANASONIC - Address: ");
    Serial.print(results->panasonicAddress,HEX);
    Serial.print(" Value: ");
  }
  else if (results->decode_type == JVC) {
     Serial.print("Decoded JVC: ");
  }
  Serial.print(results->value, HEX);
  Serial.print(" (");
  Serial.print(results->bits, DEC);
  Serial.println(" bits)");
  Serial.print("Raw (");
  Serial.print(count, DEC);
  Serial.print("): ");

  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    if ((i % 2) == 1) {
      Serial.print(results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
    } 
    else {
      Serial.print(-(int)results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
    }
    Serial.print(" ");
  }
  Serial.println("");
}
*/

Can you advise what I should uncomment?
I presume once I have got the correct code from the serial monitor and running above. I can then enter it here

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
  if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
     int incomingRelayStatus = message.getInt();
     if (incomingRelayStatus == 1) {
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x1EE17887, 32); // Vol up yamaha ysp-900
     } else {
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x1EE1F807, 32); // Vol down yamaha ysp-900
     }
     // Start receiving ir again...
    irrecv.enableIRIn(); 
  }
}

This will then allow Domoticz to create the device switch.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Best wishes.

I thought I would close this. Just as well that my Google skills are better than my programming skills.

This sketch helped me out and resolved my issues.
