💬 Temperature Sensor

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?

@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

CurtisMack

Thank you for posting this project!

Could like to suggest a small change to the sketch. There are several posts out there about this not running with the latest DallasTemperature library. The call to sensors.millisToWaitForConversion won't compile because the method is not public. From another post I learned that this method is very simple and could be included in the sketch. I would suggest changing the line

int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());

to read

int16_t conversionTime = millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());

and add this function to the sketch:

int16_t millisToWaitForConversion(uint8_t bitResolution)
{
switch (bitResolution)
{
case 9:
return 94;
case 10:
return 188;
case 11:
return 375;
default:
return 750;
}
}

In any case, this might help the next person using this project.
