Irrigation Controller (up to 16 valves with Shift Registers)

Andrej_AB

Hi, Maybe somebody can help me with this issue? Managed to upload code for irrigation controller with Arduino IDE 1.6.12 but can't pair with Vera controller.

petewill

@Andrej_AB I'm using 1.6.12 but I haven't changed my node to 2.0 yet.
What is the issue you are having with pairing? Do you see the presentation messages on your gateway? Do you have other nodes successfully paired with your Vera?

Andrej_AB

@petewill Hi, All my other nodes have successfully paired with Vera, but irrigation controller node can't pair with Vera, I have started inclusion mode on Vera, one minute passed 0 devices found.
Please see attached picture.

@Andrej_AB It looks like it's communicating ok because it's getting the time. Have you ever had a mysenors node #5 in your Vera previously and deleted it? Could it be that the Vera thinks it's already there? What happens if you clear your eeprom on your irrigation controller then manually assign a different ID and then try to pair it again?

Also thinking about it, eprom was cleaned and manually assigned new ID but still can't pair with Vera.
Today I tried upload sketch from My sensors library 1.5.4 and node was successfully paired with Vera, then tried again last sketch and again can't pair.

petewill

@Andrej_AB Can you post the full log from your sensor? The device is never getting presented in what you've posted so far. I don't have enough time to dig in to the code to know if this will help but can you try moving

void presentation()  
{ 
  sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_VERSION);
  for (byte i = 0; i <= NUMBER_OF_VALVES; i++)
  {
    present(i, S_LIGHT);
  }
}

so it's above

void setup()

I still haven't updated my irrigation controller to 2.0 yet so I haven't tested any of the code.

Andrej_AB

@petewill Finally managed to pair node with Vera controller, many thanks to @petewill for assistance with this issue.

hey @petewill

finally i am done making the controller. but when i want to upload the code i get the error..

do you have some help 4 me??

dbemowsk

@impertus Can you post your entire sketch?

dbemowsk

@impertus Those errors have to do with this line:


// Set the pins on the I2C chip used for LCD connections:
//                    addr, en,rw,rs,d4,d5,d6,d7,bl,blpol
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address to 0x27

This is where the declaration happens. If this is commented or fails, you will get the errors you described. Do you have the correct LCD libraries installed for this?

impertus

@dbemowsk i just copy/paste from the site.

witch library should i use?

i have added mysensors-master to IDE

edit i could see i have out comment the line. Now i get this error

Hello,

Can some one help me with a working sketch for Domoticz.
I have it a little working, only Domoticz give not the childs.
I get from the gate way the time and then is searching for the name from the zone.
If some one can give me a working sketch than i can see what is wrong.

Thanks in advance Ton

In my domoticz GW i have a node MySprinkler 2.0 with 6 childs : 0 to 4 S_LIGHT/S_BINARY, 255 REPREATER

It's seems that the communication between gateway and sensors failed with V_VAR3, V_VAR1 and V_VAR2 are ok.

Can somebody help me, please ?

EDIT : according to the instructions inside this skecth :

* Verify that each new device has a Variable1, Variable2 and Variable3. Populate data accordingly with whole minutes for
  the RUN_ALL_ZONES routine (Variable1) and the RUN_SINGLE_ZONE routines (Variable 2).  The values entered for times may be zero and
  you may use the defaulet zone names by leaving Variable3 blank.

I can't find any Variable in my domoticz Controller, only S_LIGHT childs of Sprinkler Node :

Where is my mistake ?

Gimlur

I reply to myself...
Like Huczas say before, you have to modify this Sketch for Domoticz. :(

Domoticz don't receive and manage V_VAR1, V_VAR2, V_VAR3, so you have to fixe them in code.

But i have another question :
is there a possibility to declare a supplementary sensor wich can manage this variables ?

Hi I looking to do My 1st MySensors Project an hoping to use this one I have a 3.2" Nextion. Will it be hard to use a nextion as a Display. Will there be help so I can get it working as I think the nextion Display will be good .... with weather updates and maybe senses to tell if the plants has to much water or no water. but thats down the trake...

Paulb

Hi, this is my first MySensors project having been inspired to jump in after finding @petewill great Youtube video. Thanks to @BulldogLowell for the code. After much perseverance I have everything working... kinda'.
My last persistent issue is the system halting zone 2, ie, cycle starts and ~10 seconds in the irrigation is halted. This only happens for Zone 2 (pin 1 on the shift register). This issue only occurs when either starting Zone 2 singularly from the controller or as part of the All Zones from the controller - Zone 1 will complete, Zone 2 will start then stop after ~10 seconds. Zone 2 WILL complete fine when selected manually from the pushbutton. All Zones from the pushbutton or controller will both fail.
I've checked and re-checked solder joints, wire connections, put the 10k external pullup resistor in and swapped out shift registers with no luck so far.
Would appreciate any help to resolve. Thanks.

I am using Domoticz and @Huczas modified sketch.

Arduino Multi-Zone Sprinkler Control

May 31, 2015

*** Version 2.0

*** Upgraded to http://MySensors.org version 1.4.1
*** Expanded for up to 16 Valves
*** Setup for active low relay board or comment out #define ACTIVE_LOW to switch to active high
*** Switch to bitshift method vs byte arrays
*** Changed RUN_ALL_ZONES Vera device to 0 (was highest valve)
*** Added optional LCD display featuring remaining time, date last ran & current time
*** Features 'raindrop' and 'clock' icons which indicate sensor is updating valve data and clock respectively
*** Added single pushbutton menu to manually select which program to run (All Zones or a Single Zone)
*** Added option of naming your Zones programmatically or with Vera (V_VAR3 used to store names)

Utilizing your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org gateway you can
control up to a sixteen zone irrigation system with only three digital pins.  This sketch
will create NUMBER_OF_VALVES + 1 devices on your Vera controller

This sketch features the following:

* Allows you to cycle through All zones (RUN_ALL_ZONES) or individual zone (RUN_SINGLE_ZONE) control.
* Use the 0th controller to activate RUN_ALL_ZONES (each zone in numeric sequence 1 to n)
  using Variable1 as the "ON" time in minutes in each of the vera devices created.
* Use the individual zone controller to activate a single zone.  This feature uses
  Variable2 as the "ON" time for each individual device/zone.
* Connect according to pinout below and uses Shift Registers as to allow the MySensors
  standard radio configuration and still leave available digital pins
* Turning on any zone will stop the current process and begin that particular process.
* Turning off any zone will stop the current process and turn off all zones.
* To push your new time intervals for your zones, simply change the variable on your Vera and
  your arduino will call to Vera once a minute and update accordingly.  Variables will also be
  requested when the device is first powered on.
* Pushbutton activation to RUN_ALL_ZONES, RUN_SINGLE_ZONE or halt the current program
* LED status indicator

PARTS LIST:
Available from the MySensors store - http://www.mysensors.org/store/
* Relays (8 channel)
* Female Pin Header Connector Strip
* Prototype Universal Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
* NRF24L01 Radio
* Arduino (I used a Pro Mini)
* FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter
* Capacitors (10uf and .1uf)
* 3.3v voltage regulator
* Resistors (270 & 10K)
* Female Dupont Cables
* 1602 LCD (with I2C Interface)
* LED
* Push button
* Shift Register (SN74HC595)
* 2 Pole 5mm Pitch PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block
* 3 Pole 5mm Pitch PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block
* 22-24 gauge wire or similar (I used Cat5/Cat6 cable)
* 18 gauge wire (for relay)
* Irrigation Power Supply (24-Volt/750 mA Transformer)


INSTRUCTIONS:

* A step-by-step setup video is available here: http://youtu.be/l4GPRTsuHkI
* After assembling your arduino, radio, decoupling capacitors, shift register(s), status LED, pushbutton LCD (I2C connected to
  A4 and A5) and relays, and load the sketch.
* Following the instructions at https://MySensors.org include the device to your MySensors Gateway.
* Verify that each new device has a Variable1, Variable2 and Variable3. Populate data accordingly with whole minutes for
  the RUN_ALL_ZONES routine (Variable1) and the RUN_SINGLE_ZONE routines (Variable 2).  The values entered for times may be zero and
  you may use the defaulet zone names by leaving Variable3 blank.
* Once you have entered values for each zone and each variable, save the settings by pressing the red save button on your Vera.
* Restart your arduino; verify the settings are loaded into your arduino with the serial monitor; the array will be printed
  on the serial monitor.
* Your arduino should slow-flash, indicating that it is in ready mode.
* There are multiple debug serial prints that can be monitored to assure that it is operating properly.
* ***THIS SHOULD NO LONGER BE NEEDED*** The standard MySensors library now works. https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads for the I2C library, or use yours

@Paulb After more troubleshooting I finally narrowed down the problem to an external factor. It seems the old desk lamp I was using on my workbench interfered with the radio signal. It is a fluorescent tube which I understand can be quite 'noisy'. Replicated the conditions several times, stopped using the lamp - presto! everything works as it should.

Do anyone has a working solution to connect this project to a main valve who has to open when running the zones ?
