implementing multiple sensors

[mikeones]

The sensor is not running on battery power so I did not spend much time with the interrupt/sleep options.

[Tibus]

is it the same process with the new 1.4 library version?

Could you please give us a exemple here or on github to have multiple sensor type on the same arduino with the new 1.4 library?

if it's the same implementation, we could write multiple "gw.present(ID, XXXX);" and send a message for each child ID type?

Thank's very much.

[Tibus]

Sorry, I found the new implementation in the "DallasTemperatureSensor" Example

[mountainman]

Here is a version I'm currently using that makes use of interrupts so might be more suitable for a battery driven DHT/Motion multi sensor. It also includes the battery monitoring. Any feedback or improvements would be appreciated.

#include <MySensor.h>

#define HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN 4
#define DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR 3   // The digital input you attached your motion sensor.  (Only 2 and 3 generates interrupt!)
#define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2 // Usually the interrupt = pin -2 (on uno/nano anyway)

unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = F; // Sleep time between reports (in milliseconds)


int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;  // select the input pin for the battery sense point
int oldValue=-1;

boolean metric = false;

int oldBatteryPcnt = 0;
int battLoop =0;

MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);

void setup()
{

  // use the 1.1 V internal reference
  analogReference(INTERNAL);

  gw.begin();
  dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN);

  metric = gw.getConfig().isMetric;

  check_batt();

How did you get 3 options for the sleep interrupt? Whenever I would try and add the sleep_time option it would give me compile errors.

[Tibus]

@mountainman
Thank you verry much, exactly what i need!

For child's id, if you have two sensor you have to change the ID in the second?

Sensor 1 :
#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
#define CHILD_ID_MOTION 2

Sensor 2:
#define CHILD_ID_HUM 3
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 4
#define CHILD_ID_MOTION 5

[mountainman]

@waynehead99 Are you using the new 1.4 Lib?

[Nuubi]

@egbertje Good Question :-) It would be nice to learn from existing working sketches..

[Anticimex]

@waynehead99 you most likely need 1.4 Lib for the new sleep constructor. I have not used sleep on 1.3 so I do not remember what arguments you had available there.
I have also extended sleep with an additional constructor which @hek has pulled into the release branch of 1.4 that permits you to use two external interrupts with independent triggers for sleep in addition to a timeout. Great for nodes with multiple sensors that still run on battery.

[egbertje]

@Mountainman ;

Im trying your code and its almost what im looking for.
I have two questions about it:
1 : Is it possible that the battery info has is own child id?
2 : Why dont you implement a light sensor like an LDR?

I think that including LDR/light then you have the ideal multisensor ; light + temp/hum + motion + batt monitoring !
But for now im playing with your code and try to implement light.

[codenea]

@mountainman Is there any instructions on how to wire/setup the hardware to work with your code?

[mountainman]

@egbertje;

The battery percentage is associated with the parent Arduino Node in the vera UI.
I have some LDRs ordered from Ebay so that is the next step. I had previously used the BH1750 I2C sensor in a multi sensor with the 1.3 lib but I want to debug on its own as it seemed to be giving unexpected readings.

@codenea The instructions are pretty much from the main page although if I get a chance I try to draw it up and post some pics. My setup not very pretty yet with perf board and jumper wires. A dedicated PCB would be nice.

Hello,

Here is my combo to make a Home Monitoring solution:
https://github.com/empierre/arduino/blob/master/MQv01dgi_1_4.ino

It includes (currently on a Mega):

• Barometer : BMP085
• Temperature + Humidity DHT11
• Particle sensor
• Gas sensors MQ2 MQ6 MQ131 MQ135 TGS2600 2SH12

To be added when stabilized:

• Sound level in DB

Could be added:

• Light sensor
• Vibration sensor
• PIR

Hi guys,

this is a one node with publishing DS temperatures and listening for relay commands I finished and tested yesterday>
https://github.com/pgo-sk/mysensors/blob/master/arduino/DS_and_Relay.ino
feel free to comment/use/publish...

I combined the Dalas and Relay examples together - you have to deactivate the sleep for the relays to listen 100% of time.
MQTT identification on openHAB:
MyMQTT/20/0/V_TEMP - DS sensor(s)
MyMQTT/20/1/V_LIGHT - relay 1
MyMQTT/20/2/V_LIGHT - relay 2

If somebody is interested I can post the maps/items files for openHAB

Regards,
Pego
PS I am working on an home automation system with solar hot air panels control/solar hot water panels and all the common stuff like lights/temperatures/weather etc.. More here: https://github.com/pgo-sk/mysensors/wiki/Home-automation-using-mysensors-and-openHAB

I'm also following along interested in the Temp, Humidity, and motion sensor.

Has anyone made ​​RGB LED strip node? I am looking for a working example program ...

[blacey]

@Dany - yes. Checkout http://www.mysensors.org/build/dimmer
