OpenHAB/MQTT Tips & Hints
-
This topic was split off http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/301/the-best-way-to-connect-to-openhab to discuss tips and hints specific to using MySensors together with MQTT middleware and OpenHAB.
If you made something nice using this combination or have some questions/issues please post them in here!
@kolaf I just started experimenting with openhab and find it quite hard to get started. There's some documentation ( far from complete, especially when you're just starting) but the general impression is that it's very powerful, mainly due to all the programming options. I'm quite sure you could directly talk to a mysensors gateway using the serial protocol, using e.g. rules, if you want.
I doubt however if you want to write your own protocol handler...
Anyway, I'm currently using an Ethernet gateway which tasks to a Perl script I wrote (https://github.com/Yveaux/MySensors_MQTTGateway) that does the conversion to and from MQTT. This script is a MQTT client that runs on the same server I run openhab and the mosquitto broker on. This is the only difference compared to @Damme solution who runs a broker on the gateway.
I like the flexibility of storing & accessing all data through an MQTT broker which makes up for the apparent overkill going through MQTT just to connect mysensors to openhab.
As long as your server has enough resources to run it all its not really worth the effort to directly talk to my sensors or create an openhab binding for it.

how do you use the mqtt binding to talk to the sensors?
I'm not at my PC right now so I can't add any actual code, but let's take the switch as an example.
A sensor (with say, id 100) which has the switch connected sends a 1 when pressed and a 0 when released to the gateway, with child I'd 7. This comes out the gateway and is picked up by the perl script. The script publishes this to /mysensors/100/7/V_LIGHT.
You define a switch item in openhab which subscribes to this topic. To read the state of the switch openhab expects either ON or OFF from MQTT instead of 1 or 0 sent by the sensor. I could have changed this on the sensor side, but I choose to implement a map-transformation on the openhab-side. Now the state of the switch changes to ON when pressed on the sensor.I also implemented a dimmer which can be controlled by 1or 2 momentary switches (on different nodes) and an rgb dimmer so far. Maybe we can start a separate topic on MQTT & openhab usage for different sensors so we can all benefit from it.

Good idea. If someone made a good, or at least workable and well-documented, solution than I am sure this project would be much utilised by the openHAB crowd as well. Maybe explaining it to me could be a good start for a how to/guide which could also be utilised in their wiki?
I hope I'm not stepping on any Vera toes when saying this?

Not everybody owns a vera and IMHO it's only beneficial for this project when multiple home automation systems are supported. Finding a greatest common divider for e.g. the types of variables will only improve things.
-
@Yveaux good, I agree, and I am glad to hear it.
How would you solve a toggle switch? The sensor does not know whether the light is on or off since it may be toggled through the controller separately. This means that in my head it will simply send "on" every time and it is up to the item/map to figure out whether it should be turned on or off depending on its current state. I guess this may be required as a rule. Or does your server support sending items dated back to the sensor so that it knows whether the light is off or on currently? In that case it can make the decision itself and send the correct on or off command. Maybe I should ask this question in the openhab group...
-
@kolaf : I´m not very experienced in Java, so the code reflects my missing knowledge and is much longer than it should be.
The purpose of "Split Message" is to split multilpe messages into single messages and afterward split this single messages into useful informations to set the OpenHAB items accordingly.
First part: common declarations
import org.openhab.core.library.types.* import org.openhab.core.persistence.* import org.openhab.model.script.actions.* var String[] buffer var String[] linebuffer var int SensorID var int transmissions_old = 0 var int transmissions_new = 0 var int transmissions_missed = 0 var int RadioID
Second part: Splitting multiple Messages
rule SplitMessage when Item Arduino changed then /* Split messages separated with NEWLINE */ linebuffer= Arduino.state.toString.split("\n")
Third part: Splitting messages according to the serial protocol
buffer(0) = NODE_ID
buffer(1) = CHILD_ID
buffer(2) = MESSAGE_TYPE
buffer(3) = SUB_TYPE
buffer(4) = Messagefor (String element : linebuffer) { buffer = element.split(";") RadioID = new Integer(buffer.get(0)) switch (RadioID) { case 7: { SensorID = new Integer(buffer.get(1)) switch (SensorID) { case 0 : postUpdate (MySensorsT0, buffer.get(4)) case 1 : postUpdate (MySensorsT1, buffer.get(4)) case 2 : postUpdate (MySensorsT2, buffer.get(4)) case 3 : postUpdate (MySensorsT3, buffer.get(4)) } /*switch (SensorID) */ } /* case 7 */ case 6: { /* ExperimentalNode 6 - soll mal NODE 1 werden */ if (buffer.get(1)== "10") { /* child 10 ist der Homematic Anschluss */ postUpdate (HMSerialOut, buffer.get(4)) } /* if */ } /* case 6 */ case 9: { /* eigentlich war das mal NODE 6 */ if (buffer.get(1) == "2") { /* Child 2 ist der Schrittmacher */ transmissions_new = new Integer(buffer.get(4)) logInfo ("TRANS","Transmissions new " + transmissions_new.toString() ) logInfo ("TRANS","Transmissions old " + transmissions_old.toString() ) if (transmissions_old == 0) {transmissions_old = transmissions_new -1 } /* beim ersten mal passiert nichts */ transmissions_missed = transmissions_missed + (transmissions_new - transmissions_old - 1) transmissions_old = transmissions_new postUpdate (Missed_Transmissions, transmissions_missed.intValue.toString) postUpdate (Transmission_Count, transmissions_new.toString()) } } /* case 9 */ case 5: { if (buffer.get(1) == "0") { /* Child 0 ist die Luftfeuchte */ postUpdate (MySensorsMobHum, buffer.get(4)) } if (buffer.get(1) == "1") { /* Child 1 ist die Temperatur */ postUpdate (MySensorsMobTemp, buffer.get(4)) } } /*case 5: */ default: { postUpdate (MySensorsNode, buffer.get(0)) postUpdate (MySensorsChild, buffer.get(1)) postUpdate (MySensorsMtype, buffer.get(2)) postUpdate (MySensorsStype, buffer.get(3)) postUpdate (MySensorsMessage, buffer.get(4)) } } /*switch(RadioID) */ } /*for (String element) */ end
So the drawback of the serial binding becomes obvious - every action has to be coded separately. On the other hand it offers enormous controlling possibilities (eg scene configurations),
Fourth part: some actions triggerd from OpenHAB GUI/Webinterface:
rule ArdSwon when Item ArduinoSwitch changed from OFF to ON then sendCommand(Arduino, "4;2;1;0;2;1\n") end rule ArdSwoff when Item ArduinoSwitch changed from ON to OFF then sendCommand(Arduino, "4;2;1;0;2;0\n") end rule HmArdon when Item ArduinoHMSw1 changed from ON to OFF then sendCommand(Arduino, "1;10;1;0;24;HD01004000000\n") end rule HmArdoff when Item ArduinoHMSw1 changed from OFF to ON then sendCommand(Arduino, "1;10;1;0;24;HD01004010000\n") end
To send commands to the MySensors Network you have to use the same "Arduino"Item. In my oppinion another drawback. A separate way out would be nicer. Despite of my oppinion there is no interference between input and output - so i can live with this.
The above example illustrates controlling a LED connected to an Arduino-UNO with the original Relais-Sketch, the second part controls some of my Homematic devices via another MySensors node (connected to Homematic via USB) .
So at last I got a 2.4Ghz network to communicate with my Homematic and an ethernet connection via OpenHAB. In combination with direct interaction between certain MySensor nodes this results in a very redundant and stress-resistant home controlling network.

To make sure I understand you right, are both the switch & light located at the same node or do you have a sensor node (switch) and actuator node (light) ?

The light is entirely separate from the switch. In my specific case it will typically be a Z-wave relay controlling the light, so I will have to map the toggle switch to the light relay in openhab. This is why I assume I have to use a rule to achieve this.
-
@kolaf Here's my code to use one or two switches to dimm. I hope it gives you some inspiration to connect your zwave switch.
MQTT topics (exposed by the MQTT perl script. Node 120 = switch sensor, node 119 = dimmable light):
/mySensors/120/0/V_LIGHT switch, reporting 1 when pressed, 0 when released /mySensors/120/1/V_LIGHT switch, reporting 1 when pressed, 0 when released /mySensors/120/2/V_LIGHT switch, reporting 1 when pressed, 0 when released /mySensors/119/0/V_DIMMER dimmable light, accepting integer value between 0 and 100
Items:
Switch Switch_Up {mqtt="<[server:/mySensors/120/0/V_LIGHT:state:MAP(switchFromMqtt.map)]"} Switch Switch_Down {mqtt="<[server:/mySensors/120/1/V_LIGHT:state:MAP(switchFromMqtt.map)]"} Switch Switch_UpDown {mqtt="<[server:/mySensors/120/2/V_LIGHT:state:MAP(switchFromMqtt.map)]"} Dimmer Light_Dimmed (Lights) {mqtt=">[server:/mySensors/119/0/V_DIMMER:state:*:default]"}
switchFromMqtt.map: (in transform folder)
0=OFF 1=ON
Rules for 2-switch dimmer control (short press Switch_Up switches light on, short press Switch_Down switches light off, keep pressed to increase/decrease light level):
val Long DimmerDelayMs = 333L rule "DimUp" when Item Switch_Up received update ON then var Boolean dimmed = false do { Thread::sleep(DimmerDelayMs) if (Switch_Up.state == ON) { sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, INCREASE ) dimmed = true; } } while (dimmed) if (!dimmed) sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, ON ) end rule "DimDown" when Item Switch_Down received update ON then var Boolean dimmed = false do { Thread::sleep(DimmerDelayMs) if (Switch_Down.state == ON) { sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, DECREASE ) dimmed = true; } } while (dimmed) if (!dimmed) sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, OFF ) end
Rules for 1-switch dimmer control (short press switches light on/off (depending on current state), keep pressed to increase/decrease light level):
rule "DimUpDown" when Item Switch_UpDown received update ON then var Boolean dimmed = false var Number percent = 0 if (Light_Dimmed.state instanceof DecimalType) percent = Light_Dimmed.state as DecimalType do { Thread::sleep(DimmerDelayMs) if (Switch_UpDown.state == ON) { // Start cycling up/down until released var Boolean dimmUp = percent < 100 do { if (Light_Dimmed.state instanceof DecimalType) percent = Light_Dimmed.state as DecimalType if (dimmUp) sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, INCREASE ) else sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, DECREASE ) if (percent >= 100) dimmUp = false; if (percent <= 0) dimmUp = true; dimmed = true; Thread::sleep(DimmerDelayMs) } while (Switch_UpDown.state == ON) } } while (dimmed) if (!dimmed) { // Short press: switch on or off, depending on current state if (percent > 0) sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, OFF ) else sendCommand( Light_Dimmed, ON ) } end
Rule for the dimmable light:
rule "MyDimmer0" when Item Light_Dimmed received command then var Number percent = 0 if(Light_Dimmed.state instanceof DecimalType) percent = Light_Dimmed.state as DecimalType if(receivedCommand==INCREASE) percent = percent + 5 if(receivedCommand==DECREASE) percent = percent - 5 if(receivedCommand==ON) percent = 100 if(receivedCommand==OFF) percent = 0 if(percent<0) percent = 0 if(percent>100) percent = 100 postUpdate(Light_Dimmed, percent) end
Some stuff I'm still struggling with (any help/ideas appreciated):
- Not sure if I can wrap (parts of) rules in a function to make re-use easier
- Getting the current value of an item seems complicated first testing for DecimalType, then getting it. Maybe this can be done more efficient?
- I use Thread::sleep to determine the timing of the buttons on the sensor node (pressed short/long). This will be influenced by the jitter on the sensor values received, but currently it seems to work fine. Furthermore Thread::sleep (probably) blocks whole rule processing, so this isn't a nice solution. The short/long presses can also be dermined on the sensor node and reported with different values, but then the sensor node is no longer a dumb switch and has to have knowledge of short/long presses....

@Yveaux Excellent, this is just what I needed, thank you.
I started looking at your Perl script since this seems like the most active solution for openhab integration. I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
Why do you have two versions of the gateway script, and which version should I use as a basis when adding serial support?
Does your gateway take care of node ID assignments? I guess I will figure out that by reading more of code
I'm thinking that I will fork your project to add a serial option to your script, controlled by some kind of commandline argument.

Glad I could help!
Why do you have two versions of the gateway script, and which version should I use as a basis when adding serial support?
The serial format changed from MySensors 1.3 (protocol 1) to 1.4beta (protocol 2). I was lazy and just cloned the 1.3 version to add 1.4 support (the 2-version). Wouldn't be hard to support both, but I really wrote this script for my own usage. It's not documented and I tried to help Damme in the past to build MQTT support. I'm primarily on 1.4b btw, with some 1.3 setup for backwards sniffer support...
If more people start using it I should do some things the nice wayDoes your gateway take care of node ID assignments? I guess I will figure out that by reading more of code
Not at the moment. Shouldn't be hard to implement though, but when you implement it you run into another issue of mapping the node-ID's onto the MQTT topic tree, or accessing the right topic from OpenHAB.
Sticking to fixed Node ID's seemed to make more sense to me.I'm thinking that I will fork your project to add a serial option to your script, controlled by some kind of commandline argument.
Feel free to fork, but the current code is based on AnyEvent. Not that I like it, but it seemed to have the best MQTT support. There is some hacking in the script to get things working, for which I don't know how they behave when switching to serial.
-
Btw. there's one important thing to understand when using the Perl script. When it receives values from a sensor node through the gateway it's easy to publish the value in the topic-tree.
When a value has to be sent to an actuator node, the story is different as the script has to know which topic to subscribe to at the MQTT broker.
Currently when a mysensor node requests a value from the gateway the script automagically translates this into a subscription of the corresponding topic with the MQTT broker. The dimmer node for example, calls gw.request(childID, V_DIMMER) from setup to subscribe itself to dimmer messages.
Note that sometimes this request gets lost (CRC error or so) and the subscription fails. While not supported by the MySensors library, a robust implementation should wait for a response after requesting this value and retry when it doesn't come.
The Perl script stores all current subscriptions persistent (file subscriptions.storage) so restarting the Perl script will not force you to restart all nodes to subscribe again.
-
And another small one; an RGB dimmer!
MQTT topics (exposed by the MQTT perl script. Node 118 = 3-channel dimmable light):
/mySensors/118/0/V_DIMMER dimmable light RED, accepting integer value between 0 and 100 /mySensors/118/1/V_DIMMER dimmable light GREEN, accepting integer value between 0 and 100 /mySensors/118/2/V_DIMMER dimmable light BLUE, accepting integer value between 0 and 100
Items:
Dimmer Light_R {mqtt=">[server:/mySensors/118/0/V_DIMMER:state:*:default]"} Dimmer Light_G {mqtt=">[server:/mySensors/118/1/V_DIMMER:state:*:default]"} Dimmer Light_B {mqtt=">[server:/mySensors/118/2/V_DIMMER:state:*:default]"} Color Light_RGB "RGB Dimmer" (Lights)
Rules to distribute colorwheel value over R,G,B dimmers:
rule "Set RGB value" when Item Light_RGB changed then var HSBType hsbValue = Light_RGB.state as HSBType postUpdate( Light_R, hsbValue.red.intValue ) postUpdate( Light_G, hsbValue.green.intValue ) postUpdate( Light_B, hsbValue.blue.intValue ) end
No button control here; just using the colorwheel and on/off buttons in the GUI.
Enjoy!

rule to calculate absolute humidity and dew point from degree Celsius and rH%
import java.lang.Math import java.lang.Integer import java.lang.Double rule "Calculate absolute humidity (g h2o / m3 air) and dew point" when Item temp1 changed or Item hum1 changed then var temp = temp1.state as DecimalType var hum = hum1.state as DecimalType var t1 = (17.271*temp.floatValue) / (237.7+temp.floatValue) + Math::log(hum.floatValue*0.01) var dew = (237.7 * t1) / (17.271 - t1) var Number c1 = ((17.67*temp.floatValue)/(temp.floatValue+243.5)) var abs = (Math::pow(Math::E,c1.doubleValue)*6.112*2.1674*hum.floatValue) /(273.15+temp.floatValue) Dewpoint1.postUpdate(dew) AbsHum1.postUpdate(abs) end

@Damme Nice calculation example! Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I'm new in the topic. I find it very interesting the world of mysensors.
I would like to ask whether there is a description of someone that I can set my mqtt openHAB bindings eg .: an Arduino LED dimmer ?I already read http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/303/mqtt broker-gateway
I made a Humidity sensor node, and Relay node, too.It would be good if we had a basic description or example project for beginners from all sensor type.
-
It is not rocket science to get the openHAB running w/MQTT gateway, see for example my post with DS/Light/Relay in http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/115/implementing-multiple-sensors/60
But sure, it would be great to put a wiki with all sensor settings for openHAB together on one page. I needed to read/search for some days to put the knowledge together...
Example of the openhab screenshots on mobile https://github.com/pgo-sk/mysensors/wiki/Home-automation-using-mysensors-and-openHAB
There you see also the mapping of the sensor

How can I make openhad respod to gw.request(sensor, V_HEATER_SW,0);
I have a relay actuator sketch and in setup() I have this
for (int sensor=1 ; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS;sensor++)
{
gw.present(sensor, S_HEATER);
gw.request(sensor, V_HEATER_SW,0);
}practically I would like openhab to respond to the gw.request with the actual state of the relay.
My item definition is the follwing. I am able to ON and OFF the relay, but I need to find a way to get the values from openhab of the relays when the relay actuator arduino reboots.
Switch Incalzire_Releu_GF_Living2 "Incalzire Releu Living 2" <heating> (Incalzire) {mqtt=">[mysensor:MyMQTT/3/2/V_HEATER_SW:command:ON:1],>[mysensor:MyMQTT/3/2/V_HEATER_SW:command:OFF:0]"}

is there any sample code for controlling RGB led here?

Sorry to Necro this thread but had a question,
I believe I read somewhere that you can use a serial gateway connected to a pi and have openhab/mqtt run on the pi?
How would one go about setting this up? Currently I have 2 Unos one running as the serial gateway. I plan to replace the serial gateway with a nano I'm still waiting on that.
I just got the pi last night so I'm still working on getting everything up and running on that but I'd rather just connect the gateway directly to the pi rather than have to get a wifi/ethernet module for one of the arduinos.
Also probably outside the scope of this thread (and thats fine) but anyone have a good guide for setting up the pi for openhab/MQTT?

My house have 4 floor, i have plan build one gateway for each floor. Each floor has 4-5 sensors (temp, hum, relay, light, door, RF light). Each sensors use NRF24 to connect with gateway. Gateway connect to RAS by ethernet.
My question:- Can i build 2 gateway mqtt connect to openhab?
if not, what my solution to solve ?
Thanks
- Can i build 2 gateway mqtt connect to openhab?
-
you can build more than 1 gateway for that, but rather than mqtt. I think it's better to use ethernet or serial gateway because mqtt gateway has lot of problem, I tried it for months. You can forward mqtt from fhem to mosquito.
-
@Yveaux
could you please post your arduino code of controlling your RGB (I guess it´s a RGB LED Strip!?)?Thanks for your help!!
-
I build up a mqtt gateway and configured it in openhab.cfg. Now I would like to set up a mosquitto server on a raspberry pi, too. Is it possible to add this new MQTT server to the openhab.cfg beside the already set up MQTT gateway?
-
Why not setup the Mosquitto broker connect OpenHab to it and use the MQTTClientGateway which connects as a client to the Mosquitto broker. Has been discussed at several places in the forum already. You can find the MQTTClientGateway in the development branch.

@tomkxy
I´m reading in the forums for weeks now, but I don´t get it to work. I´ve succesfully set up Mosquitto on my raspi, also openHAB is running there. MQTTEthernetGateway (from Startpage) is pingable. One sensor is running and working.I don´t know how to get the MQTTEthernetGateway communicate with the Mosquitto Broker. I´ve read about "bridging" what made me more confused as I already was.
So, right now, when I subscribe to MyMQTT/# using "mosquitto_sub -t MyMQTT/#" on my Raspi I don´t see any communication coming in.
What do I have to do to get the MQTTEthernetGateway (=MQTTClientGateway I suppose!?!) connecting to Mosquitto?
Or: must I setup the MQTTEthernetGateway like this: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/524/mqtt-client-gateway instead of using the sketch from http://www.mysensors.org/build/mqtt_gateway?
Thanks for your help!!
-
@siod I am not sure to what code you are exactly referring to if you say MQTTEthernetGateway.
In the mysensor Github he cleaned up the code I merged from my Github. I did not test that code so far.
So I can only comment on the MQTTClientGateway you can find in my Github https://github.com/tomkxy/Arduino.git in branch MQTTClientGateway.I suggest you start off ignoring Openhab at the moment. Just test with clients using mosquitto_sub and mosquito_pub commands from mosquito.
In the MQTTClientGateway sketch you need to adapt the IP related infos. See excerpt from my config.
//replace with ip of server you want to connect to, comment out if using 'remote_host' uint8_t remote_ip[] = { 192, 168, 178, 74 }; // Mosquitto broker //replace with hostname of server you want to connect to, comment out if using 'remote_ip' //char* remote_ip = "server.local"; //replace with the port that your server is listening on #define remote_port 1883 //replace with arduinos ip-address. Comment out if Ethernet-startup should use dhcp. Is ignored on Yun uint8_t local_ip[] = {192, 168, 178, 11}; //replace with ethernet shield mac. It's mandatory every device is assigned a unique mac. Is ignored on Yun uint8_t mac[] = { 0xA2, 0xAE, 0xAD, 0xA0, 0xA0, 0xA2 };
Depending on whether you use the signing feature or not you have to comment the define MY_SIGNING_FEATURE in my_config.h.
If your sketch is running you should see one additional client connected on your mosquito broker.
You can subscribe with mosquito_sub to $SYS/# which gives you all sorts of statistics.In order to check whether your Arduino connected to the broker you can also put a debug statement in the loop function. Just check and print the return code from the client.connect() call.
If the connect did not work double check that you configured the correct IP address and port, and make also sure that you fulfill the authentication requirements configured in the broker.
If the connection works publish a message to the broker for a topic like MyMQTT/27/5/V_PRESSURE
The MQTTClientGateway sketch should receive that and you should see that in the log.Next reset your sensor node. You should see a message being processed by MQTTClientGateway and then being published to the MQTT broker.
Only after all that works you start dealing with OpenHab.
Hope that helps.

Hi tomkxy,
thanks for your detailed answer, I will test all your suggestions after I got my GW work on LAN, right now it´s not answering to pings and I don´t get it why....
I´ve uploaded the ntruchsees sketch from http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/524/mqtt-client-gateway now and configured IP address, port and MAC.
When I was talking about MQTTEthernetGateway I was talking about the MySensors Sketch at http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/524/mqtt-client-gateway.I will get back to you and give your more info as soon as the Gateway in it´s actual state works in my network!
-
@siod I adapted the ntruchsees for the MySensors library version 1.5 which you find here
https://github.com/tomkxy/Arduino.git
-
I could compile your code now, unfortunately I still cannot ping the gw.
BTW: In ntruchsess`code I had to enter the Mosquitto broker IP, why isn´t this part in your code?
//replace with ip of server you want to connect to, comment out if using 'remote_host' uint8_t remote_ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 50 };
-
It is the same in my code. See the code extract in the previous reply above. The variable is remote_ip[].

sorry, but I can´t fin it in your code:

Also I must mention I am using a ENC28J60 chip on my Ethernet module. Could that be the problem of not answering to pings?
edit: Ah, sure, got the network problem:
//#include <Ethernet.h> #include <UIPEthernet.h>
But still, remote_ip is not in the code I copied from your github library. Maybe you can post the correct code here!?
edit:
Ok, finally got it. I must admit I am not good in using Github, it´s very new to me...
Question: Do I always have to download the complete branch and overwrite my arduino file with it or ist it enough to only download your MQTTClientGateway example? Just for me to understand this...Of course, when using the UIPEthernet library, the sketch is too big now...Is there a workaround?
-
@siod Sorry, i don't know whether that makes sense here. I do not know where this code came from.
I pointed you to the the contribution I made which is here: https://github.com/tomkxy/Arduino.git
in the MQTTClient branch (follow the link, select the branch mqttclient and click through the directories: libraries/MySensors/examples/MQTTClientGateway/ ).As I wrote before the current development branch of the official MySensors library contains a cleaned up and re-factored version I didn't test and can say nothing about.
-
I found a W5100 Ethernet Module et voila, everything works fine now!!! Thanks for your help @tomkxy !!
-
@siod If it works now you probably can give it a try with the latest version in the development branch of the Mysensor library.

@Yveaux said:
And another small one; an RGB dimmer!
I tried this 3-dimmer approach, but I found it not responsive enough. Sometimes the arduino can't be fast enough to process 3 consecutive requests, and the result is lame. (it changes 2 of 3 colors only)
I think this would be more efficient with transmitting just one cummulative message with all 3 colors and decoding it in arduino.
-
@ericsko sounds to me that you're missing a message instead of the Arduino being too 'slow'.
But go ahead, use a single message to send the rgb value and post your findings in here!
