delay different functions in loop
-
Well, it's been a couple of hours now I've been trying to get things to work but now I have to ask for help.
I understand that you can call a function from the loop.
I have combined the sketches: RELAY, SOIL MOISTURE and SI7021 (which is a temperature/humidity sensor).all parts are working as expected but I want for instance the soil moisture to only be activated and do it's stuff every hour or so.
While the temperature/humidity should be checked every 5 minutes and send info if changed + forced every 30 minutes..
I have gotten it to work, but it's not a nice sketch, and I have problem with the timings.
Because if I call the functions they only work if I add a serial print to see if it's actually counting.
If I comment it out, it will show everything like every 3 seconds..
I understand my sketch is aweful, but it's the best I can do at the moment (still learning).Someone that could take a look and/or point em in the right direction?
Thanks./** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters.

After some hours of sleep and refactoring everything, now I think I've managed to get everything working.
I have some problem wrapping my head around "forceTransmit" command and how it works.
Also, millis() is also something I have to learn
Here is the code if anyone finds it interesting.
What it does is measure soil moisture every hour and sends info (normal forkthingie).
Also reading every 30 seconds for temperature and humidity (si7021)
If humidity changes by 1 or temperature by 0.2 it will send info.
If no info has been sent it will force send info every 20 minutes.3 Relays are there to power water pumps and a LED strip.
i have now semi-learned the use of functions, which is fun
