💬 Temperature Sensor

[bentrik]

@mfalkvidd Thanks for the feedback, It got me a bit further.
I have a fresh Windows Arduino 1.6.12 install, and I have download the MySensors Library 2.0 through the Library manager, and I've found MySensors.h and MyConfig.h under \Documents\Arduino\libraries\MySensors

I'm able to compile and upload the RelayActuator but quite a few of the library files seem to be missing in 2.0. DallasTemperature seem to be one of them.-But I struggled with DallasTemperature and some others.

I copied all the whole MySensors-1.5.4.zip library files to to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries, and I managed to compile, but I got an error message saying Invalid version found: 1.04
Then I tried to only copy the DallasTemperature and OneWire folder, and I had no errors.

-So I assume all library files the entire MySensors Examples catalouge are not ready in Libraries 2.0.

Anyways: The solution to get this sensor to work with Arduino 1.6.12, following the Download and API guide, adding MySensors 2.0 through the Library Manager, is to manually add:
\Arduino\libraries\DallasTemperature
\Arduino\libraries\OneWire\

-from https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/archive/master.zip
-And not adding the whole structure.

Now I just have to find out how to make it speak to my serial gateway :satisfied:

I get the feeling it is possible to use more then one sensor parallel on port 3. I wonder if each sensor is being monitored? Am I right and do I need to alter or change something?

[wendan]

my feeling was right.... i just connected 5 temp censors it is working great

[Joseph Absher]

I am getting the error:

DallasTemperatureSensor.ino: In function 'void loop()':
DallasTemperatureSensor:93: error: 'getConfig' was not declared in this scope
     float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Joseph Absher]

@mfalkvidd That worked. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm a beginner in home automation and I'm trying MySensor for the first time. My acctual configaration is a Domoticz on a Raspberry Pi 2B and a RFLink GW with a NRF24L01 module to try to measure with a MySensor probe.
I've building a temperature sensor with a DS18B20 sensor on a Official Arduino nano board and I can not run the sensor correctly.
The arduino serial monitor show these:

0 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA--,VER=2.1.1
3 TSM:INIT
4 TSF:WUR:MS=0
11 TSM:INIT:TSP OK

Someone could help me?

[gohan]

Did you set node ID?

[Vincent Lgrd]

Where should I put it? In arduino sensor code?

[gohan]

Yes, it's like #define MY_NODE_ID 2 and put it at beginning of the code

[Vincent Lgrd]

Ok , with Node ID, I have this:

0 MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA--,VER=2.1.1
3 MCO:BGN:BFR
63 TSM:INIT
64 TSF:WUR:MS=0

[gohan]

ok, but we are going off topic since now your problem seems to be the radios can't talk to each other, so if you take a look in troubleshooting section you will see others having this error that usually if bad wiring, missing capacitor on vcc of the nrf24, range/interference problem. How far are the 2 radio modules? Try putting them 2-3 meters apart.

[Vincent Lgrd]

Thanks, my radio modules are very close, they are on the same table for test. On of them may be damaged, I must receive others. I'm going in the troubleshooting section to avoid polluting this article.
Thanks for your help

[gohan]

Put them at least 2 meters apart, just to play safe.

[Vincent Lgrd]

It's the same, I've even reversed the radio modules

[dantefff]

@gohan , I'm in the same situation as @Vincent-Lgrd. I'm powering my arduino UNO from usb (to test). Is that a possible problem?

[gohan]

I use USB pretty much all the time and never had any issue. I had many problems in the beginning with radio modules that had the black blob instead of the ic and once I got the new ones everything started to work. I'm still working on increasing the range, probably because they are clones and not good quality.

[dantefff]

@gohan I changed my getaway to an old good rpi model b, and the temperature node started to work, so I think that the problem was on de getaway wiring or in the getaway code itsef. Thanks

[gewoonandre]

Is it also possible to upload the example code to a Arduino Nano, and connect it via USB to a Windows PC with Domoticz?

Or will it only work with the radio modules (and extra gateway?)

[gohan]

I think you can use the serial gateway sketch and the sensor code in setup and loop
