Signing changes presentation message?



  • Hi all,

    I upgraded a working HomeAssistant setup from version 1.5.4 without signing to use signing.
    Although I can still see message being exchanged, HomeAssistant stopped from autodiscovering the nodes.
    Watching the protocol exchange for a new powered up node reveal a small difference:

    This is what the serial gateway sees with signing disabled:

    0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
    97;255;0;0;17;1.5.4
    97;255;3;0;6;0
    97;255;3;0;11;Sensebender Motion
    97;255;3;0;12;1.3.1
    97;1;0;0;6;onboard
    97;2;0;0;7;onboard
    97;3;0;0;1;PIR
    97;1;1;0;0;24.5
    97;2;1;0;1;37
    97;255;3;0;0;101
    97;3;1;0;16;1
    97;3;1;0;16;0

    And this is with signing:

    0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
    97;255;3;0;6;0
    97;255;3;0;11;Sensebender Motion
    97;255;3;0;12;1.3.1
    97;1;0;0;6;onboard
    97;2;0;0;7;onboard
    97;3;0;0;1;PIR
    97;1;1;0;0;23.9
    97;2;1;0;1;38
    97;255;3;0;0;101
    97;3;1;0;16;1
    97;3;1;0;16;0

    The signed version is missing the message where the protocol version used to be. I am quite new to MySensors, so question is if that is an intended behaviour?

    Hi!

    Have you confirmed that all sent messages were received by the gateway? Signing maximizes the strain on the radio comms. Signing will expose a not perfect radio environment.

    Yes, the two are sitting next to each other. It is consistant that the message with the release (1.5.4) is missing.
    May be my init sub is not correct? I am using this:

    void setup() {
      
      pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
      digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    
      pinMode(PIR_SENSOR_DIGITAL, INPUT);
      // Activate internal pull-ups
      digitalWrite(PIR_SENSOR_DIGITAL, HIGH);
      
      Serial.begin(115200);
      Serial.print(F("Sensebender Motion FW "));
      Serial.print(RELEASE);
      Serial.flush();
    
    ...
    
      // Make sure that ATSHA204 is not floating
      pinMode(ATSHA204_PIN, INPUT);
      digitalWrite(ATSHA204_PIN, HIGH);
      
      digitalWrite(TEST_PIN,LOW);
      digitalWrite(OTA_ENABLE, LOW); // remove pullup, save some power.
      
      digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); 
    
      gw.begin(NULL, NODE_ADDRESS, false);
    
      humiditySensor.begin();
    
      digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    
      Serial.flush();
      Serial.println(F(" - Online!"));
      gw.sendSketchInfo("Sensebender Motion", RELEASE, REQ_ACK);
      
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP,S_TEMP,"onboard", REQ_ACK);
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM,S_HUM,"onboard", REQ_ACK);
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_PIR, S_MOTION, "PIR", REQ_ACK);
      
      isMetric = gw.getConfig().isMetric;
      Serial.print(F("isMetric: ")); Serial.println(isMetric);
      raHum.clear();
      sendTempHumidityMeasurements(false);
      sendBattLevel(false);
      if (ota_enabled) Serial.println("OTA FW update enabled");
    
    }

    Having the nodes next to eachother doesn't guarantee good radio comms. You have to verify by connecting a serial monitor to the node, looking at that output, and look at the log from the controller/gateway. Then compare these two lists of sent vs received messages.



  • This is output from Serial Gateway with Debug turned on:

    The verify fail message is consistent always there which I hardly believe can be from transmission errors?
