Momentary Actuation?

tbully last edited by tbully

Hey All -

I'm working on a sensor where I will want to actuate something momentarily. Specifically, I want to send a stream of data via a 433mhz transmitter. But this could be as something as simple as latching/un-latching a relay (simulating a button-push, etc).

I'm not sure what device to use from a controller perspective.

Should I just use a switch that is normally in a state of "off"? When Vera sets the device to "on", do "whatever" in the sketch (set a bit in the sketch, etc), and then have the sketch turn the switch status back off in Vera? Seems like kind of a hack. Is there a "push button" device type?

@nagelc thank you for directing me to the log parser. It helped me to understand that my issue caused by lack of INCLUSION_MODE messages that is easily solved by uncommenting MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE in my gateway sketch. The second part of the question stays valid. I realize that choosing the "right" controller is much more than choosing the controller that works good with MySensors. Anyway, I appreciate any personal experience on that.

Hello, I realize this is an old thread, but I'm hoping someone can help with the 'tweaks' mentioned above. I followed @blacey 's advise and contacted Vera support. So far they have basically told me to pound sand, stating they don't support third party plug-ins. They did ask for more info about the Motieno VID/PID combo that needs to be recognized though. I responded saying I am only asking for help getting my Vera Edge to recognize a USB device plugged into it and referred them to this thread. They have not responded for several days. Hopefully they will get back to me, but it isn't an encouraging start. They've been very good to me on other issues in the past. Any info on what needs to be changed to get Vera to recognize the Motieno device would be very helpful. As background, I've been running an Arduino Nano-based gateway for several years but my Vera periodically loses the serial port configurations. I've read that is likely due to the nano being a clone so I decided to upgrade to sensebender to tidy things up and hopefully improve reliability. I know I could add an ethernet board and be done with it, but I'd prefer to connect the gateway via serial port if I can get it to work. TIA
