💬 Power Meter Pulse Sensor

[asgardro]

would you mind please sharing the sketch? i don't know whats wrong. i even forced it with "bool pcReceived = false" puting it to true. thanks

[asgardro]

i do not get Serial.print("Received last pulse count from gw:"); in serial output

[flopp]

@asgardro
this is my sketch
i use MS 1.5.1

 * This sketch provides an example how to implement a distance sensor using HC-SR04 
 * Use this sensor to measure KWH and Watt of your house meeter
 * You need to set the correct pulsefactor of your meeter (blinks per KWH).

 * Reports both KWH and Watt back to gateway.

here is my serial output. and remains like this.
i have found your sketch but can not seem to get it to work to gw 2.0

[asgardro]

[flopp]

can you please print your code?

I am not so good to read the Message structure but it look like it present temperature and other stuff

[asgardro]

Ah the gateway works fine with other sensors
The code for the pulse power meter is the one in the example

[flopp]

@asgardro said:

Yes you do, look at the last line and you will see it.

[flopp]

@asgardro

change SEND_FREQUENCY to 5000, upload to Arduino, when you see Received from GW, trig Digital Input 3 and after 5 seconds it should send data to DZ again

[asgardro]

Done that... reset everything..still the same

here is my code

@asgardro
don't forget to use CODE function when posting code.

If you don't see any reaction when you trig Digital 3 i don't know what can be the problem,

Have you tried another Arduino?

[flopp]

@asgardro

change bool pcReceived to false

[asgardro]

ooops sorry about that... just found the function lol
the sensor inits itself once and then doesn't do anything/ i don't know through what miracle i got the pulse count.
will try another arduino... i do not think it is a radio problem..
thanks for your help

[asgardro]

changed it to false.
put it true before to try to force the sensor sending independent of the count.. if i am correct
still the same outcome... will try tomorrow diffrent hardware
anyway, thanks a lot for the help

[flopp]

@asgardro said:

changed it to false.

Yes it will but it will only send 0 to VAR in DZ so it will be a loop of same value.
Maybe that's why it never sends again.
Try now to trig digital 3

[asgardro]

sorry for the next noob question but what do you mean by trigginh the pin 3? simulating the sensor? if yes i done that.. i have a led blinking

[flopp]

@asgardro

what have you connected to digital 3?

[asgardro]

this is the code now

i have connected the digital out from the sensor
