Temp Sensor and iobroker on rasPi3

[mysensors-6043]

Hi community, I am new to mySensors, found it through iobroker on rasPi3. There's an Adapter for mySensors :-)
iobroker is linked to my Homematic ccu2. I'd like to measure a temperature and Report it back to ccu2.
The hardware should be as small as possible, low power consumtion and communicate via WLAN.

What exactly do I Need to have a temp Sensor ?

Thanks in advance ... jr

Welcome to the MySensors community @mysensors-6043 !

You'll find component lists and wiring guides for ESP8266 gateway here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway

The same for a temperature sensor is available at https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp

Example sketches are included in the MySensors library and at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples

[mysensors-6043]

Hey thank' a lot.
And by using the ESP8266 and connecting to the WAN, I'm able to attach iobroker mysensors Instance ?

cheers .. jr

[mysensors-6043]

sorry, of course I mean WLAN :-)

@mysensors-6043 I have never used iobroker so I don't know unfortunately. But if iobroker supports MySensors ethernet gateway you should be fine.

Hi again
I got stuck somewhere. Have my Arduino nano up and running, blink example works fine.
As soon as choose the GatewayESP8266 sketch, while compiling I get the error

@mysensors-6043

Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

this means that the Arduino IDE is trying to compile the code for an Arduino Nano. Since the gateway sketch is for ESP8266, it will fail to compile for Arduino nano.

Select the ESP8266 in the Tools->Board menu. Follow the instructions on https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#installing-with-boards-manager if you haven't installed the ESP8266 board.

[mysensors-6043]

Hi Thank's
I changed Board Type to ESP8266, but now I get

Sketch uses 243,757 bytes (56%) of program storage space. Maximum is 434,160 bytes.
Global variables use 34,440 bytes (42%) of dynamic memory, leaving 47,480 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81,920 bytes.
warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed

and the serial monitor say's wifi shield not present -> yes this is true not connected yet

That's my WiFi shield

[mysensors-6043]

is this the correct cabling ?

[mfalkvidd]

@mysensors-6043 sorry, I didn't realize you were using the esp as wifi shield. The esp gateway sketch is meant to run directly on an esp board such as nodemcu, adafruit huzza, wemos d1 mini, esp-12 and similar.

You could see if @Tagore-PDE got something working in this thread: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4374/arduino-uno-esp8266/

[Tagore.PDE]

not yet, but in some days i will get that running.
regards.

[mysensors-6043]

newby question, sorry ;-)
I got stuck somehow. Built my Arduino Nano with NRF24L01 board. This is working with RF24 Library/examples between two Arduinos.
I'd like to attach one sensor to iobroker/mysensors instance. So I took the tempsensor sketch from mysensors Homepage. https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp

While compiling the sketch I get

[sundberg84]

@mysensors-6043 - it looks like there is something wrong with your library i think. Maybe you have library in two different places. Check your sketchfolder and your application(arduino) folder.

[mysensors-6043]

@sundberg84
Hi thank's a lot for Your answer. Did a reinstall of the IDE, now only one library Installation. Now I get another error

@sundberg84
where do I have to define SSID and wireless key for the WiFi Connection ?

[sundberg84]

@mysensors-6043 - good question, never used wifi for MySensors.

if you are using 2.0 I found this in github:

#define MY_ESP8266_SSID "MySSID"
#define MY_ESP8266_PASSWORD "MyVerySecretPassword"

[mysensors-6043]

@sundberg84
Hi again, many thank's get closer. I had to install two more libraries (Dallas, OneWire).
After adding the two definitions above, this is still the error

[mysensors-6043]

Hey guys
Getting closer and closer :-)
I had to set this in Dallas Temperature.h

// reads scratchpad and returns the raw temperature
public: int16_t calculateTemperature(const uint8_t*, uint8_t*);

**public:** int16_t millisToWaitForConversion(uint8_t);

Seems my Radio ist working. Please see Serial Monitor :+1:

Now, since I'm use iobroker with a mysensors.0 instance, I'd like to read Temperature within iobroker.

mySensors adapter settings

Bind: Listen on all IP's

Connection timeout: 60000 ms
Inclusion mode timeout: 60000 MS

Anyone experienced with iobroker and mysensors ?
