UI5 Mysensors library 2.0 gateway issues

[hek]

The vera plugin still has version 1.5. It does not correlate to MySensors Arduino library versions.

https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/blob/development/L_Arduino.lua#L20

Are you on UI7 or UI5?

When pressing inclusion mode button, does anything happen in the UI? (the text changes in the device to "found devices...")

[ramoncarranza]

hi, I am using UI5. After pressing the Start button it indicates that "0 devices found"

[hek]

Ok, so at least you have a contact with the gateway.

After starting inclusion mode, do you restart the wireless node? It usually only sends its presentation messages during startup.

[ramoncarranza]

Yes, I start by having the sensor unplugged, that right after the Start button is pressed I plug in the sensor. One thing I noticed though, is that if I go to the LUUP files and try to "view" them, som of them display the folling message:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

but if I download the same LUUP file and open it in Notepad the file is there

[hek]

Just to verify. You mean that you plug in the wireless sensor (with a radio)? Not the gateway?

If so, you should have a look in the serial log of the gateway (Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE) while it is connected to your computer. Restart the (wireless) node an capture the log.

[ramoncarranza]

yes the wireless sensor with radio, not the Gateway. The gateway is plugged in on the Vera's USB port. Ok will do.
Thanks

@hek ok the serial monitor comes up blank, with this in the upper left corner:

"1Öyô¹¹q0"

nothing happens after the wireless sensor is powered.....

[hek]

Did you set the correct baudrate?

https://www.mysensors.org/build/debug

[ramoncarranza]

after switching to 115200 baud, the following poped up:

0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 2.0.0)
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:RADIO:OK
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:GW MODE
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY
0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
0;255;0;0;18;2.0.0
0;255;3;0;9;No registration required
0;255;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0, registration=1

no changed occurred when wireless sensor was re-started

[hek]

Ok, so your communication is not working.

[ramoncarranza]

should I wire up a new radio, should I wire up a complete gateway with radio (or both)?

[hek]

You should probably look at the nodes log.

[ramoncarranza]

@hek ok, I plugged in the Motion Sensor to check the Serial log and nothing came up. I opened the sketch on wordpad and noticed that there is no entry on Baud rate whatsoever (I no nothing about code so I don't know if that means anything).

in regards to my other Sensor which is a Temp/Humidity Sensor, the sketch is not on my Library it was not included on the downloaded Zip file, so I downloaded it from here:

https://www.mysensors.org/build/humidity

but the downloaded copy does not have any entry for the radio and the baud rate is set 9600 so that's why the Gateway cant communicate with them,,I think.

[hek]

The baud rate has nothing to do with the radio communication. It's only used for the serial communication. That is debug prints or communication with controller.

I don't understand what you mean by "the downloaded copy does not have any entry for the radio".

[ramoncarranza]

include "DHT.h"

DHT dht;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Status\tHumidity (%)\tTemperature (C)\t(F)");

dht.setup(2); // data pin 2
}

void loop()
{
delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod());

float humidity = dht.getHumidity();
float temperature = dht.getTemperature();

Serial.print(dht.getStatusString());
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(humidity, 1);
Serial.print("\t\t");
Serial.print(temperature, 1);
Serial.print("\t\t");
Serial.println(dht.toFahrenheit(temperature), 1);
}

[hek]

wot? That isn't the example you linked above.

[ramoncarranza]

Example
"This example uses the external DTH library found here. Please install it and restart the Arduino IDE before trying to compile."

if you click the "here", that's what downloads

[hek]

"This example" refers to the example found on the mysensors page.
"uses the external DHT library" means you have to install the library in your ide by downloading it and install in your IDEs library path.

[ramoncarranza]

got it thanks

@hek hi, this is what the Motion Sensor Log displays:
