Problem with relay+button and dallas temperature sketch combination



  • Hello,

    I wanted to make a node that both read temperature from 2 dallas sensors and activate a relay (with button option).
    It works pretty fine, but only for an undetermined time. Afeter sometime (1 or 2 days), if I push the button, it crahses, and i have to reset it to get the good behaviour. If I don't use the relay features, everything is working normally a long time.
    Here is the sketch :

    #include <MySensor.h>
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <Bounce2.h>
    #include <DallasTemperature.h>
    #include <OneWire.h>
    
    // Partie Température
    #define COMPARE_TEMP 1 // Send temperature only if changed? 1 = Yes 0 = No
    
    #define ONE_WIRE_BUS 8 // Pin where dallase sensor is connected 
    #define MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20 16
    unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
    OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS); // Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
    DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire); // Pass the oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature. 
    float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
    int numSensors=0;
    boolean receivedConfig = false;
    boolean metric = true; 
    // Initialize temperature message
    MyMessage msg(0,V_TEMP);
    
    // Partie Relay
    #define RELAY_PIN  4  // Arduino Digital I/O pinnumber for relay 
    #define BUTTON_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for button 
    #define CHILD_ID 17   // Id of the sensor child
    #define RELAY_ON 1
    #define RELAY_OFF 0
    
    Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
    int oldValue=0;
    bool state;
    
    unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
    
    MySensor gw;
    MyMessage msg2(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT);
    
    void setup()  
    {  
      // Startup up the OneWire library
      sensors.begin();
      // requestTemperatures() will not block current thread
      sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);
    
      gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, true);
    
      // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
      gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay & Button", "1.0");
      gw.sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1");
      
        // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors  
      numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();
      Serial.print(numSensors);
      Serial.println(" temperature sensors detected");
      
     // Setup the button
      pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,INPUT);
      // Activate internal pull-up
      digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,HIGH);
      
      // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
      debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN);
      debouncer.interval(5);
    
      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
         gw.present(i, S_TEMP);
          }
      // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
      gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT);
    
      // Make sure relays are off when starting up
      digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, RELAY_OFF);
      // Then set relay pins in output mode
      pinMode(RELAY_PIN, OUTPUT);   
          
      // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) 
      state = gw.loadState(CHILD_ID);
      digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
    }
    
    
    /*
    *  Example on how to asynchronously check for new messages from gw
    */
    void loop() 
    {
      gw.process();
    
      // Relay button
      debouncer.update();
      // Get the update value
      int value = debouncer.read();
      if (value != oldValue && value==0) {
          gw.send(msg2.set(state?false:true), true); // Send new state and request ack back
      }
      oldValue = value;
      
      // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
      sensors.requestTemperatures();
    
      // query conversion time and sleep until conversion completed
      //int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());
      unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
      // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
      // gw.wait(conversionTime);
    
    // Read temperatures and send them to controller 
      if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= SLEEP_TIME) {
        // save the last time you read temperature
        previousMillis = currentMillis;
        for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
     
          // Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
          float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((gw.getConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;
       
          // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
          #if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
          if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
          #else
          if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
          #endif
       
            // Send in the new temperature
            gw.send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature,1));
            // Save new temperatures for next compare
            lastTemperature[i]=temperature;
            }
         }
      }
    } 
     
    void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
      // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
      if (message.isAck()) {
         Serial.println("This is an ack from gateway");
      }
    
      if (message.type == V_LIGHT) {
         // Change relay state
         state = message.getBool();
         digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
         // Store state in eeprom
         gw.saveState(CHILD_ID, state);
        
         // Write some debug info
         Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
         Serial.print(message.sensor);
         Serial.print(", New status: ");
         Serial.println(message.getBool());
       } 
    }
    

    You will see it is almost a copy-cut of the sketches available here, but without any sleep or wait, that causes the button not to work...

    Anyone see what could be the problem ?

    Thanks.

    @Mixeur A relay generates a lot of noise on the power lines. Much has been written on this issue on the forum. Try powering the relays from a different voltage regulator and a enough decoupling capacitors on the power lines. Especially the radio needs stable power.



  • Actually, It is what I did. I use a LM317 to power all 5V devices from a 12V power supply (arduino, relay and ds18b20).
    3.3V for the radio is obtained from LM1117 (its input is the LM317). The radio also has a 4.7 uF capacitor on power line. So I'm unsure this is a question of noise on powerlines. Also, issue is only happening after a few undetermined time. I can trigger how many I want the relay with any issue after powering the module, without problem.
    It is just a question of time. So I think it can be a software issue, but I don't see anything in my sketch.

    @Mixeur 0_1454875053591_upload-1a3e50aa-5e84-4235-9f46-77db31dad43a start of a difficult journey .... i finally changed the relays for SSD types.

    your sketch looks pretty straightforward.
