switch is not working when gateway is unavailable

[Pavel Larkin]

Hello!

Could you point me to - how to deal with situation, when Gateway goes down (raspberry pi which does a lot of stuff..) - and the sensor is left by himself alone?

If the Nano, which acts like sensor (light switch) is restarted when Gateway is down - i can't operate my sensor. It just tells me:

Do i need to post the code? It's quite simple, beside all the preparation - here is how i switch lights On/Off:

     Serial.println("LED is on");
     digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN4, !digitalRead(RELAY_PIN4));
     #undef CHILD_ID
     #define CHILD_ID 4
      MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_STATUS);
      send(msg.set(digitalRead(RELAY_PIN4)));
      saveState(CHILD_ID, state);

To wrap it up - how should i program the sensor, so in case of gateway's outage, the system still would be functioning?

Thankyou!

Yes, please post your sketch.

Hi, I experienced the same problems, but after some search, it turns out we are not alone

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/5884/most-reliable-light-switch/4

I ended up using an example from @Boots33 works good for me.

Mysensors is more aimed at Internet of things than home automation so I guess that's why it's not the default operation.

Try

#define MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS 1
