Slim Node Si7021 sensor example
-
@rsachoc I sorry, but there seems to be an error in the sketch in the first post. Baud rate should be 9600 everywhere if you use the common Slim Node fuses and bootloader. Upload (board.txt), MyConfig.h (not MySensor.h since v1.5), Debug-prints and Arduino IDE serial monitor.
-
Thanks, I've updated the sketch that I downloaded, also myconfig.h so that should be good. What do I need to select in the Arduino IDE for board type? I searched in the slim node thread and didn't see a reference to any changes?
-
@rsachoc No changes. It is that boards.txt entry you should use.
-
Hmmm ok, that's what I thought...still no luck, I've modified the boards.txt with the text from the slim node thread, and now it still has the same error message.
To confirm, my FTDI adaptor is attached to the board pins as follows:
FTDI <-> board
GND <-> first pin (i.e bottom left of board when looking at board laying long side horizontal and NRF radio on the other side)
CTS <-> board marked GND
PWR <-> board marked VCC
TXO <-> next up i.e. 4th pin
RXI <-> next up i.e. 5th pin
DTR <-> next up i.e. last pinOther than that, I guess it may be something wrong with the way I made the board? If so, what's the best way to troubleshoot? Could it be a bad bootloader flash? Is there a way to check if the ATMega has a bootloader?
edit in fact, it could be because I don't have the Si7021 connected? Could this be the reason a sketch is not uploading successfully?
-
@rsachoc Start simple. Try on a board without nRF and sensors. Remove everything in the sketch and make it to just print "Hello world" back to serial monitor.
-
Thanks, I haven't actually built a new node, but have been double checking everything on my current node. One thing I wanted to confirm, the 4.7uf capacitor, does the negative leg have to be on the corner of the board, as this is the way I have it currently? I think looking at the board layout in the main slim node thread, it should be the positive leg on the corner and the negative leg on the side of the board (the short side of the board)?
-
@rsachoc I don't have it in front of me rigth now... but, there should be an arc and a super-small "+"-sign next to the positive pad. Maybe it just look like a dot.
-
Ok so that may be the problem then! Let me solder it the right way and see if that helps otherwise I'm going to create a bare bones slim mode as suggested
edit to confirm the positive leg of the capacitor goes to the positive marked plus sign hole on the board?
-
OK so I changed the polarity of the 4.7uf capacitor and I'm still receiving the same error. So I built a barebones one without sensor and without NRF. I am still getting the same error when uploading the sketch via the FTDI adaptor. I tried uploading a sketch to a Sensebender I have and it worked fine, so that rules out the FTDI adaptor.
Some pics in case someone can spot something obvious.

So I can only think that it must be related to the ATMega bootloader? In the how to burn a bootloader thread, I received the following when trying to burn the bootloader, so I assumed it uploaded correctly?

@rsachoc Looks like you're missing the R1 resistor?
-
@m26872 well that is probably it! I didn't even realise I needed that, oops! Sorry
! Let me try and get one (I think I have some already) and get soldering
-
It lives! Well the one node I created does at least! I'll troubleshoot it, but the problem was the R1 resistor, which I (noobishly) forgot about! But very pleased, and thanks to m26872 especially and everyone else who helped.
I've updated the lessons learn post too!
-
I just received my non-3.3v Si7021, and have now updated the lessons learnt post, as this board is tiny and I managed to mess up the soldering completely. Ordered the 3.3 ready version now, another month wait...

@ar91 Please find the code I used in 3 different nodes. The good thing with the playground lib is that there is error message if dialog with DHT22 failed.

So the DHT22 works at 1MHz with 2 AAs and your code you´ve posted? No physical differnces?

So I think I've finally got everything up and running! This is what I'm getting at the serial monitor in the IDE:

Looking at the output, I can't see which one is the temp, humidity or battery level?
-
@rsachoc Is that all you get? Please also set sleep_time to 15000 for debug, if you haven't already done it.
-
@m26872 thanks, I've set that, no change even after more than 15seconds and debug set.
Could it be the way I've connected the si7021? I've got it as follows:
- A4 to SDA
- A5 to SCL
- GND to GND
- VCC to 3.3v
-
Maybe I need to add that I'm running the 2.0 MQTT controller? Not sure if that makes a difference? GatewayW5100MQTTClient

@rsachoc
My initial guess would be that you get stuck at this line:si7021_env data = humiditySensor.getHumidityAndTemperature();Did you try your Si7021 on some plain arduino first? Just with some simple example code.
-
@m26872 thanks, yes, I guessed that something might be wrong with the sensor, I checked continuity between the board and the sensor and all seemed fine.
To test on an Arduino, I've honestly very little clue how to do this. Could I utilise the breadboard and Arduino I used to flash the AtMega?
-
@rsachoc The "very little clue" is a good reason to play around and learn some.
You should not use a 5V Uno directly to sensor without voltage regulator and logic level converter. The Si7021 spec is 1.9-3.6V.
If you don't have a Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V, I suppose your best option is the SlimNode you already got. Try it at least at 8MHz (use suitable fuse settings, bootloader and baud rate), of course external crystal if you have.
-
The most SI7021 coming from ebay are with voltage regulator and level shifter. I searched for a raw version and there are only very few... If you are not sure, post a link or a foto.
-
@rollercontainer Thanks! You're absolutely right. I feel rather stupid not thinking of this.
So @rsachoc, if you're have some GY-21 like boards still not yet modded like described in first post of this thread, then they should work excellent with your Uno.
-
Thanks both, I have the "pre-modded" si7021, so it's the one that should operate at between the 1.9 and 3.3v. I the Arduino I used to burn the Atmega is a knockoff, so it has both 3.3v and 5v. Let me do some research and see if I can test the si7021 using it.
-
Some pictures anyway!
-
@rsachoc Great with pictures! It looks like you haven't enabled the pull-up resistors by filling the solder jumpers in the middle of the board? Like this: https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/3/f/6/5/a/52855764757b7f06478b4567.jpg
-
@m26872 oh! I didn't realise I needed to do that, could that be the problem? Do I just need to fill with solder the bit just below where the DA and "-" is?
-
@rsachoc It's probably it. And yes, it's rigth there. Make sure all of the three small pads interconnect.
-
@m26872 thanks! No time tonight, but a job for testing tomorrow.

You could also use the 328 pullups! I had an unwilling Chinese light sensor (MAX44099) that drew a lot of power either with the VCC on or off. Since it's battery powered that is undesireable.
I used
digitalWrite(SDA, LOW); digitalWrite(SCL, LOW);to tie the bus to ground. When the sensor wakes up, it writesHIGHto those pins and the bus is back online. Used a 500ms wait after this to let the sensors stabilise.That sensor is now on a 6µA sleep current and a average 128µA over 2 hours measured with a 2 minute sleep cycle.
-
Tried it this evening, still no luck, let me see what I can get up to over the weekend.
-
@DavidZH True, internal pull-ups (20k?) should probably be enough for the normal i2c use (short wires, low speed, etc). But I wonder if pull-ups are consuming any significant power during passive state like sleeping sensor. Of course it's a good solution in case there're issues preventing the bus from beeing silent. Or worse, pulled down continuously.
What was your current before the change?
I think 500ms awake is a lot.
-
@rsachoc Crap. Maybe it's something else then.
-
I switch them off with a LOW write before the sensor goes to sleep and you're absolutely right about the wait time being very long. In this case I didn't mind because the sensor is powered by a solar panel.
I can't really remember what the exact value but it was an order of magnitude... I also used the voltage divider way to measure voltage because the Moteino has a regulator on board, so that upped the sleep current a little (10M resistor to keep the current low).I went searching because the current went UP when I switched the power to the sensor off before sleep. Gammon.co.au is a very useful source, but I can't remember where I dug this hack up.
I will be making other battery sensors for inside with a HTU21d and I will post more on those in a 'My Project' mega gallery including measurements. (And dig around in the HTU datasheet for the start up time....)
-
According to the datasheet the absolute maximum time to get ready is 80ms.
-
Thanx! Saves me a trip!

Ok, so I messed up my previous sensor trying to solder the bridge (don't ask...) I have now (I think) soldered it and reconnected it, am now getting the following:

PS will upload some pics of the soldered bridge...

@rsachoc google "mysensors st fail"

I am currently trying to use that red 3.3v module too and it doesn't seem to work. I have the sketch from above running with the "normal" blue module where I remove the voltage converter so that it works at 3.3V without a problem.
Then I switched to the red one (with these small 3 solderpads connected) and the scl/sda lines switched (the order is different form the blue one) but the program gets stuck at the same position as above (without the st=fail's though). So I assume thatsi7021_env data = humiditySensor.getHumidityAndTemperature();fails. Does anyone have one of these sensors up and running? Any ideas where the error is? Otherwise I guess I have to stick with the blue ones.
-
@LastSamurai
The red ones are HTU21D and need another library (they are different from the SI7021).
Use the Adafruit library for this module (look on their site for HTU21D).
-
@GertSanders hmmm I think I'm using that same one as @LastSamurai so I suspect that's the issue? It's the one linked in the first post
I guess if that's the problem it should have been obvious to me, it even says HTU21D on mine! Silly me!
-
@rsachoc
Either one of these libraries will work with the HTU21D modules.
Both modules do the same, but have different I2C adresses so you can actually use both at the same time (of you like to compare them), but you need different libraries to call each one.
-
@GertSanders Thanks, I don't know why I didn't realize that
I will try that out tomorrow.
-
@LastSamurai I'm having a go as well at updating the .ino file with the different library, but I'm not a coder so I'm "having a hack" - if you have any luck could you post your code?
-
@rsachoc Yes, I actually just tried it out and its working.

@rsachoc
Congrats !!!
-
@GertSanders Thx a lot for your help! I had no clue about the HTU21D lib.
-
This post is deleted!
-
so with the correct library there is no need to solder those 3 spots together!?
-
@siod
The "spots" are there to connect the pullup resistors to the SDA and SCL lines. This is always needed, regardless of the library of the board onto which you connect the sensor board does not provide pullup resistors itself. On a minimal board like the one in this thread, this is not the case, so the pull up resistors are needed.
-
ok, thanks for making it clear for me Gert!!
update:
finally found time to build my sensor and it seems to work fine, will do more testing but for now my results are:
7.5 uA when sleeping, 15,3 mA when working (every 15 minutes for about 2seconds, but I think my cheap multimeter gives bad readings on those spikes, I guess it´s only around 1 mA)
seems to be okay, isn´t it?
edit:
I have 2 reed switches attached. I recognized that I have +0,10 mA for each reed switch when activated. So when reed switches are both touching their counterpart I have a sleeping consumption of 0,20 mA. Why is that??

Hello,
I'm trying to convert existing Si7021 sensor code from 1.5 to 2.0.0 library. I change the code and then I was getting an error which said:
Si7021_sensor_MySensors_2.0.0:158: error: 'si7021_env' has no member named 'humidityPercent' int humidity = data.humidityPercent; ^ exit status 1 'si7021_env' has no member named 'humidityPercent'Then I chech the Si7021 library, and how I saw there wasn't member 'humidityPercent', but there was a member 'humidityBasisPoints'.
So I change line from:
int humidity = data.humidityPercent;...to:
int humidity = data.humidityBasisPoints;Then code compiles and I upload it to Slim Node Si7021. I leave sensor and today I checked it log on Domoticz. I have this:
Temperature looks ok, but Humidity value jumping a lot, thats why I don't want to believe it is true.
Could someone, who has a 2.0.0 library and Si7021 sensor chech is it same situation? Becose I have only one Si7021 sensor.
Maybe someone could look also on the code and say if I convert it right?Converted code:

@jacikaas where did you get the si7021 library? Take a look at the sensebender sketch for a good reference.
-
@AWI
I download Si7021 library from here: https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SI7021I was heard about Sensbender node, but never look deeper what is in it. I will look at it and try to understand whats in there. I just learning about all that stuff, so it will be good practice
-
@jacikaas that's the way to go. The sensebender sketch contains some rather nice best practices for low power. You best replace the si library with the one in the MySensors examples on github.
-
@AWI I try to replace library from this one https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SI7021 to this one https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples
to work it I need to return variable name from:
int humidity = data.humidityBasisPoints;to:
int humidity = data.humidityPercent;I think this library https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SI7021 was updated, so it is not suitable for this one code. Now I test it again and everything looks fine:
Temperature and humidity node unregister or stop working repeatedly for about 2 hours (2h25min, 2.20, 1.50...). But after that it start to send data again, for some time and then goes around again.
I will try to understand why it happening too.
-
I am trying to build the code using the HTU21D sensors. This built fine under 1.4 and 1.5 but now under v2 of MySensors I am getting this error:

-
Well, I solved it by modifying the code to 2.0 spec. Good lord I need sleep.
Working on debugging temp outputs now to Ethernet Gateway running on my Uno. Or I will sleep...
-
Okay, I now have a soldered node and serial gateway setup to my laptop for testing. It presents the sensor node! The name and available sensors is correct. Howevr, it never sends any message payload with temp/hum or battery values. I am using the HTU21D without soldering those 3 pads on it together. I need to get myself a 3.3v FTDI cable so I can serially debug I guess. But, still! Progress.
-
After soldering the 3 pads on the HTU21D I am now reading data and it is being sent to my test serial gateway. Need to measure current usage but at least it is functional.
-
Okay, seeing something odd. The force transmit does not appear to be working.

@wergeld It looks like it's set to 3 hrs.
-
@m26872
Indeed it does. Just was throwing me off with the wording. I read it as "1/2 hour" or "1/3 hour". So far I am prepping up more nodes. Have 4 more 328s to programs and build out. I am thinking at the end I will have:- Gateway (serial or the direct connect nrf+ once it supports v2)
- Temp/Hum node using HTU21D for back porch sending every 5 minutes and force send every 30 minutes.
- Temp/Hum node using HTU21D inside using same send times.
- Parking sensor in garage hardwired to mains.
5 & 6 I am not sure yet.
Lots of fun so far.
-
I am seeing 5.0 μA at sleep and 12.4 mA when transmitting. Seems kind of high. I did the poor man's test as well - put an LED across the HTU21D power pins and it lit up. Same when I did it across the nrf's power pins. Shouldn't the MySensors code turn off the power rails during sleep?
-
No, the powerrails are not turned off, just the devices themselves.
5uA during sleep is about right. The 12.4mA during transmit is also normal, but the transmit time should be very short, so on average the total consumption of power will be low.
-
@GertSanders Excellent! I was hoping I hadn't wired it up wrong. So far the 2 nodes have been flawless for the past 3 days. Next step is to await the direct attached NRF serial gateway to be v2 compatible. Been following along with this thread. Looks like we are getting closer! I have 2 RPis (one a first gen B and the other a Pi2 B ) with this adapter by ceech:

Hi everyone,
First thanks for sharing. I love this slim node. But I am facing some issues I did not success to debug. So I use the code shared here for mysensors 2. I try with the mysensors exemple library (did not work at all). I try with the https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SI7021 which worked (at least for getting separately temperature and humidity and using the example file) on an arduino nano. But when I run this sensor with the slim node (red, boot loader 8mhz) and the code (for 2.0.0) I always get -46.85 for temperature and 118 for humidity. Otherwise the radio work normally.
Winter is coming and I don't know what I could do anymore. Thanks to share you idea on this.
With the example code I use on the nano. I get with the slim node:
T: -46.85 H: 118 device ID: 50With Arduino nano:
T: 24.34 H: 43 device ID: 50
-
Why actually my device id is 50 ? for what 50 stands !?!?!
-
@clempat Please post your sketch and maybe some hardware photo or diagram too.
-
@m26872 Sure I can do that. So I simplified the code to only focus on the si7021.
Here it is: https://github.com/clempat/example-si7021
And there the photo:
-
@clempat Don't think I can help you. Maybe clock related. What voltages do you use on Nano and Slim respectively? Do you have multiple parts to try with and get the same result? Why do you include and start wire.h, isn't already in Si7021.h ? My guess on "device Id 50" is that it's just a chinese clone reply.
Photos look nice btw.
-
@m26872 Thank you. Yes I wanted to try with a pro mini 8Mhz but I need to prepare the pin 4 and 5. I will keep inform when I do it this week end.
Thanks for the picture but with this nice setup it is difficult to make it bad :)...
I includes wire.h like in the exemple in https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SI7021 but of course after I tried without. The nano was directly connected to usb and the slim through 3,3V USB to serial.
-
Ok with the arduino micro 8Mhz all works good too.
Reading... T: 20.29 H: 54 device ID: 50
-
So sad I still not getting it working with the slim node
!!! Always same result either with internal 1mhz or 8mhz...
-
@clempat Make it with external 8MHz then ? Then it should be like a Pro Mini 3.3V.
-
@m26872 I will give a try and let you know... Thanks.

Hello
I also have big problems with getting the node to send temp and hum values
It starts up and presents itself to the GW but then nothing happensI have tested the SI721 module with a simple arduino code and then it reads and prints both values just fine
My code is below, in practice its a version of Sensebender Micro code. I have changed the force transmit value to 1
Exactly as @clempat I have tried both 1MHz optiboot and 8MHz internal oscillator without any success/** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters.

It would be interesting if someone with issues also tried older versions of libs for Si7021 and/or MySensors.

So, after a few months of 2 nodes up and running using the HTU21D sensor I have come the conclusion that the HTU21D is no good for where I live. Lately it has been getting cooler outside (down to mid 50s F) but humidity is still high. As the evening progresses the humidity gets to 100% and the node no longer sends data. This happens around 6pm every day (about half and hour after sunset). It then comes back online at about 10 am the next day. The node that I have inside does not have this issue (same shipment of arduino, pcb, and HTU21D sensors and the same arduino code). Both running off of fresh AAs. May need to upgrade to the SI7021 for outside node.
Here is the graph showing last 7 days. As you can see it flatlines (literally!) at 100% humidity!
All good times with the learning!
-
@wergeld Relative humidity at 100% during night sounds very realistic to me. Are you confusing it with the "absolute humidity"? Or is your concern that the "force transmit" isn't working?
-
Mine does the same, but it's also very humid at night - I think this is normal behavoir
-
@m26872 & @bjacobse - Yes, 100% humidity is normal here. Good old Florida! My concern is that the node stops reporting. Possibly due to condensation shorting out something. During the summer here we also hit 100% humidity but it is also a lot hotter (high 90s). Now, I think that the cooler temps are forcing a dew point that is allowing water to condense on the node. Then during the morning it drys out and resumes transmitting. I would like to find a way to stop this.
-
-
@m26872 I have looked at a lot of those links. I am leaning towards covering my node in non-reactive glue. This will seal all contacts. The only part that would be difficult would be the actual teeny tiny sensor chip on the HTU21D. Hopefully any condensation there can be minimal. The next step would be to make sure the battery case is sealed as well (although I do not think this will be much of an issue).
-
Do you have some battery saving stuff in your code, so you maybe wakeup check temp + humidity, and if they are same value as previous, then go back to sleep - no need to use battery usage to send same values again, this can cause your sensor to not report values
-
@bjacobse Yes, I am checking the values and if the same as last transmission I abort and go back to sleep. If, however, it has been 3 hours since last transmission I force it to send.
-
I've done 6 nodes off this sensor. Do I have to change something else then node id? Also I'm using the 1mhz bootloader with bud rate 9200 should I change that in the sketch?
Seems like I only get the temprature and humidity once on first start up...
Edit:
I think my problem is that I haven't changed the bud rate in mysensors.h file. I've just reinstalled everything now and I don't know how to get si7021 installed the right way. I installed the package inside arduino but it doesn't work.
I such a noob sorry guys
-
I have problem to get my sensors to work. Thay start up and shows a not so accurate value sometimes and thay report once or twice but then never again. I thought it was because buad rate was wrong in the MyConfig.H file. Now i changed that and i tried a few different codes and librarys. Nothing seems to work.
So my question is which code and library should i use?
I got the slim node and sensor as in the first post.
Im running 1mhz optiboot bootloader from the slim node thread
And i updated mysensors to 2.1.
-
@Eawo Sorry for a late reply. Please post your sketch to begin with.
Do you have v2.1 for both gateway and sensors?
"#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600" should be before the "include MySensors.h" and that should be all regarding baud rate setting. No need to mess with MyConfig.h in v2.x.
A lot of the SlimNode example codes are still in v1.x unfortunately. So please look at more recent post above in this thread instead for v2.x.To verify the Si7021 you should use a clean Arduino+Si7021 setup with the only hw/sw needed for that, i.e. no radio or MySensors-library. Si7021-example sketches generally comes with the lib.
-
Ok i redid everything from skratch and now i got it working atleast with 1 node havnt tried the other yet.
I used the code miljume did link the only line i changed was
#include <SI7021-master\SI7021.h>
to
#include <SI7021.h>
It is working but it shows up as 2 nodes in domoticz
1401 0 TempHum Temp + Humidity WTGR800 20.9 C, 35 % 2017-01-19 17:59:05
1400 0 TempHum Temp + Humidity WTGR800 20.7 C, 34 % 2017-01-19 17:59:05
anyone know why?
also this does report every 60sec will this be short battery life?
-
@Eawo Domoticz groups sensors after the order you present them in, see: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5132/ds18b20-ans-sht31-d-show-up-as-combined-sensors-on-domoticz/15
I send every 5 minutes and check the value before so that I only send if the value has changed
I have been running my sensor for nearly 2 months now and battery level has only decreased 1-2%
Make sure you use 1 MHz bootloader
