Lutron motion sensor switch hacking

florint last edited by

Greetings,

Cool (crazy idea): I have a bunch of Lutron switches with motion and daylight sensors in them (like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Maestro-required-Single-Pole-MS-OPS2-WH/dp/B005WM3ALC. I like them but I would like to make them smarter by interfacing them with OpenHAB and adding scene capability in them (for example, they can function as security sensors too if they detect motion when you're "away"). So I would like to send the motion and daylight sensors info to OpenHAB (or any HA software, doesn't matter). Did anybody did such hardware hacking already?

TIA,

Florin

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

AI-based radar nodes sound like an exciting advancement, especially for security and smart home automation. The ability to detect human presence without movement could be useful for elderly care, energy efficiency, and security systems. Using a serial protocol makes integration straightforward, making it a feasible weekend project for those familiar with microcontrollers. However, privacy concerns are valid—just like with any smart home technology, balancing convenience with data security is key.

Nice work so far @wint0178, great that you try expanding on the examples. Sorry for the late reply. If you look at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/bba998bce09bc5139eb4ca7a05b0279f4083ff88/examples/PressureSensor/PressureSensor.ino#L90 you see where the existing child ids are defines. You just add another one for the gas sensor, with a unique number (incrementing by 1 is an easy way). Try that and report back on your result. If something is unclear, just post a followup.

@GLAB You can set the frequencies using the settings in MyConfig.h, which is in the MySensors folder. If you put any of the defines from MyConfig.h into your sketch, they will override the MyConfig.h setting for that sketch only. If you are using the RF24 radio, there are different channels which correspond to a given frequency. The default is channel 76. There is a list of typical channels in MyConfig.h. If you want to change the channel for all the sketches, change it in MyConfig.h. If you want to change it just for the sketch, add a define to the sketch. For example: #define MY_RF24_CHANNEL (84) The problem with changing the channel in a sketch is that the gateway has to be on the same channel to receive from the node. So, normally it makes sense to change in MyConfig.h because you usually want the gateway and all the nodes on the same channel. Other radio's like the RFM69 list the frequency instead of using a channel. They can be overridden in the sketch as well. You can find the defines that are needed in MyConfig.h
