Mysensors 2.0 + Relay, DHT, and PIR - No Relay

rhuehn

Hello folks:

I'm trying to put together a powered multi sensor using mysensors 2, that will have a DHT, PIR, and a relay to act as a quick trigger for the garage. ( momentary push ), but I can't seem to get the relay to trigger with the following sketch:

/**

 */

// Enable debug prints
#define MY_DEBUG
#define MY_NODE_ID 50         // My Node ID variable
// Enable and select radio type attached

//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
//#define MY_RS485

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>  
#include <DHT.h>

// Set this to the pin you connected the DHT's data pin to
#define DHT_DATA_PIN 7
#define DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR 3   // The digital input you attached your motion sensor.  (Only 2 and 3 generates interrupt!)

// Set this offset if the sensor has a permanent small offset to the real temperatures
#define SENSOR_TEMP_OFFSET -1

// Sleep time between sensor updates (in milliseconds)
// Must be >1000ms for DHT22 and >2000ms for DHT11
static const uint64_t UPDATE_INTERVAL = 60000;

// Force sending an update of the temperature after n sensor reads, so a controller showing the
// timestamp of the last update doesn't show something like 3 hours in the unlikely case, that
// the value didn't change since;
// i.e. the sensor would force sending an update every UPDATE_INTERVAL*FORCE_UPDATE_N_READS [ms]
static const uint8_t FORCE_UPDATE_N_READS = 10;

}


void setup()
{
  pinMode(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR, INPUT);      // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input
  dht.setup(DHT_DATA_PIN); // set data pin of DHT sensor
  if (UPDATE_INTERVAL <= dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod()) {

  wait(300);
  
  // Sleep for a while to save energy
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, UPDATE_INTERVAL); 
}
void receive(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
  if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
     // Change relay state
     digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
     digitalWrite( RELAY_1, RELAY_ON );
    //Keep the relay on for the amount of time defined by TOGGLE_INTERVAL
    delay( TOGGLE_INTERVAL );
    digitalWrite( RELAY_1, RELAY_OFF );
    //Added this to tell the controller that we shut off the relay
     // Store state in eeprom
     saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool());
     // Write some debug info
     Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
     Serial.print(message.sensor);
     Serial.print(", New status: ");
     Serial.println(message.getBool());
   } 
}

Can anyone help with where I have gone wrong? Board, NRF, etc all work with the default relay sketch, but when I am combining, I am not having any luck with the relay, everything else appears fine based on serial output:

@rhuehn - what does it look like when you send the trigger command? Do you get anything in the node log?

Nuubi

Isn't it so, that this code block makes the node unresponsive for UPDATE_INTERVAL 60 s? The only exception would be the digital input 3 (PIR pin).

// Sleep for a while to save energy
  sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, UPDATE_INTERVAL); nsert Code Here

rhuehn

Hello @Nuubi Yes I believe that is exactly why the Relay goes unresponsive. If I remove that sleep block, the PIR floods the gateway, and I am not sure how to get around it? Is there any possible recommendations you could make to the code so that the DHT, PIR AND Relay all work without the PIR flooding the gateway?

Thanks very much!

@rhuehn - you could with a if statement only send if the value is changed.

I did a similar project that is working well. Mine was powered all the time, so I didn't use the sleep code. The main reason I didn't was so that I could manually control the relay/light when there was no motion detected. It also allowed me to get continuous readings from the LDR so I could use that light level for other things if I ever wanted to.

Here is a link to my project. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5243/driveway-motion-light . Maybe you can get some ideas from my code.
