Sometimes nodes NOT created???

[p0lar]

Sometimes when I add a sensor the corresponding NODE entry in the devices list does not get created. is this important? any way to debug that?

Thanks

@p0lar That has happened to me also (many times), I typically run the inclusion again and most of the time it picks it up.

They are not really needed right other than info about the device?

@p0lar "Needed" no, the sensor seems to work just fine without the node. I use the battery and last updated fields for processing so I make sure I get the node to 'show up'

[p0lar]

OK. ill try inclusion again trick..

Dear admin whats is your suggestion? Is this a bug?

The reason is failed transmission. The node (normally) sends its presentation at startup. Introducing a short delay between transmissions could help (allowing your attached capacitor to charge up).

@p0lar Which gateway and controller?

I will try the delay as well, as I have this issue sometimes. Thanks for the good advice.

@m26872 Vera Lite running something and an Ethernet gateway with 1.4.1 code on senors and gateway... I am using the example code on these sensors... is there an example delay in there already?

@p0lar You don't have a serial gateway to try instead? I use the serial gw for inclusion only. Then when it comes to running, the eth-gw is much better.

[p0lar]

Nope. No serial gateway. Also re including does not create the missing ones. Hmmmm
