Combining relay and temperature sketch


  • Mod

    if use something like this in presentation?

    for (int i=1; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
         present(i+3, S_TEMP);
    

    you get the idea, just shift the child id of the dallas sensors and leave the first 4-5 IDs for relays



  • @gohan aha! Will be trying that later tonight..... I'll keep you posted! 😊 Thx man!



  • @gohan soooooo...... I tried this:

    void presentation() {
      // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
      sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1");
    
      // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors  
      numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();
    
      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=1; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
         present(i+16, S_TEMP);
      }
      for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
        // Then set relay pins in output mode
        pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
        // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage)
        digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
      }
    }
    
    

    now I get the temp sensors with child id's 1 to 16 and no relays at all


  • Mod

    I probably used wrong sintax



  • @gohan tried this again...... same result.....

    
      // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors  
      numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();
    
      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=17; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
         present(i, S_TEMP);
      }
      for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
        // Then set relay pins in output mode
        pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
        // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage)
        digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
      }
    }

    @Tim76 you forgot to present the relays.... 😓



  • @gohan no I didn't...

      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=17; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
         present(i, S_TEMP);
      }
      for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
        // Then set relay pins in output mode
        pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
        // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage)
        digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
      }
    }```


  • @gohan seems like it's early for both of us.....;-)


  • Mod

    you only have present(i, S_TEMP) but you also need to add present(sensor, S_BINARY) in the relay section otherwise you will not present any relay at all.



  • @gohan 😳😳😳 seems like it's only early for one of us...... I,ll change it later today.....



  • @gohan so I fixed that....... and now I get this in Domoticz....

    255 S_ARDUINO_NODE 2.1.1 false 2017-05-10 11:34:12

    so it seems I do get temp Id's from 17 to 32, but the values stay in 0,1,2 where the relays 1 and 2 don't work.....


  • Mod

    There must be a bug in the relay section, I can't check it today, I'm out all day.
    Try to add some debug serial print to see what values are being exchanged

  • Mod

    I'm talking about adding code to your sketch so that it prints in serial monitor the values before they are sent for presentations and you debug from those, I can't debug it for you from here 😀



  • @gohan oh.... ok..... pretty new at coding, but I guess you allready figured that out.....;-)


  • Mod

    No problem, it's normal, everybody started from being new at coding.
    For debugging add only 1 or 2 temp sensors and same for relays, work it out simple and then add more



  • @gohan hey Gohan,
    I will not be able to continue to work on my code till after the weekend....😑


  • Mod

    No problem, I'm here anyway 😀



  • @gohan
    Due to work related schedule problems I won't be able to work on this code for a few weeks...... 😠



  • Did you get this working and if so can you share?



  • @newzwaver I'm curious aswell, been pounding my head all night trying to get a temperature and relay into one sketch.



  • HI

    I did get it to work and will post the sketch later today after work. I have it working on the ESP8266 and Arduino.



  • I figured why wait, this has the temp, hum and 2 relays working not problem. One relay controls my fan for my AV and the other controls my doorbell for my HTD Lync system.

  • @newzwaver your code is pretty hard to read due to not beeing entirely formatted as code.
    Nevertheless there seems not to exist any loop() section and the node is put to sleep after having received anything for a certain periode of time.
    This may work in most cases, but imo is not a "lucky code design".

    Imo better aproach:
    Use the https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay - principle. Additionally a wait() is used instead of sleep() for the time to fulfill measurements (DS18B20 in my case).
    If you need a working implementation of the blink-without-delay function within MySensors, see the https://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_power example.
    At least three of my nodes (combining temperature and relays) work pretty well like that.



  • @rejoe2 said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

    Thanks Newzwaver

    You wouldn't happen to have a sketch with the DS18B20? I have both DHTs and DS18B20s but plan on using this to turn on and off a fan to keep my AV equipment cool. So I'm not that concerned about humidity although it wouldn't be deal breaker if it did.

    Thanks,



  • @bluezr1 Sure... But imo it is easier to stick with the given examples, they may be much easier to understand than e.g. this one😁


  • MySensors Evangelist

    @rejoe2 NIce example thanks.



  • @sincze Thanks too.
    Just to mention: I don't use the internal functionality for the servo any more - this part didn't work to my personal satisfaction.
    If you're interested: The RS485 variant in the repo is even more complex - it uses three Pins for 1wire with different timings, but may require some tweeks in the libs to compile.



  • Thank you so much Newzwaver. I've been trying to combine two sketches together and this is my first successful one. I may never be as good as most of the people on this forum, although I don't plan on stopping with combining more than one sensor to one node -- need to get rid of my double nodes I have in various places. 🙂

    When I ran your sketch and the relays didn't show up in vera. So after I copied and pasted from the relay sketch posted by hek under void presentation, I ended up with errors. So after comparing the two (yours to hek's) I ended up with this that seems to be working.

    As of right now I'm looking into what rejoe2 said about using wait instead of sleep, unless I'll be fine with what I have?

  • @bluezr1 Great to hear about you having first positive results.

    Nevertheless, imo the sketch you posted is designed against some basic principles.

    First: all main functions should be placed in the loop() section (not present in this sketch). The posted sketch does all the measurements within an exceptional routine called receive(). This should be reserved for all functionality that really is related to receive any info from controller side - obviously doing measurements does not belong to that category.

    I also started as complete noob to coding around 30 months ago and just followed the examples (mostly from Build section), so be assured: you will also learn how to do this just by following these examples and ask yourself why things are solved the way they are.

    If you need a good example of a combined sketch, have a look at the atmospheric pressure one (or the DHT (humidity?) sketch you have used here): They already have two children... From the BME180-Preassure you may follow the route to the BME280 examples available in the forum here or in my repo (#98, RS485).

    Btw: In the header section of your sketch there are also two defines left not necessary (just as a info, this does not cause any trouble for the moment).


  • MySensors Evangelist

    haha combining sketches... frees up some hardware 😉 for other stuff.

  • @rejoe2 I listened to what you said and then went back over it, it's working much better now. What you said "why things are solved the way they are" made me stand back for a moment. I do Maintenance for a living and work on everything from HVAC, boilers, Kitchen equipment to hanging drywall. There's always one thing I always tell myself when troubleshooting something, what's the sequence of operation. Well I'm not to savvy with writing code although the same principles applies. Maybe I just needed someone to tell me that, I don't know.

    Anyways, thank you

    I updated the sketch I posted in my last post with the changes I made.



  • @sincze Does not only free HW for other stuff, but also makes things easier once they work as expected. I have to admitt this in some cases may need hard work to get to that point.
    What's the "other stuff" showed on your picture?

    @bluezr1 Looks like a big step ahead!

    Imo next step in your code should be to have a look at the remarks I already posted and replace the sleep() by wait(). By now, you have a rather fast update rate of your values, this may not be necessary and also may lead to a early wear-out of your DHT (?):

    @rejoe2 said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

    Imo better aproach:
    Use the https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay - principle. Additionally a wait() is used instead of sleep() for the time to fulfill measurements (DS18B20 in my case).
    If you need a working implementation of the blink-without-delay function within MySensors, see the https://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_power example.

    Please keep in mind changing existent posts like you did may lead to irritation wrt to the remarks in following posts. You may better show the resulting code as an update in your next answer and add a remark wrt. to enhancements in the earlier one.



  • @rejoe2 Just so I know that I’m not heading down the wrong path and wasting everyone’s time, I should be looking into the use of millis correct?



  • @bluezr1 Yes, millis() is the right thing to look for (or the simpleTimer2-lib, that internally does the same things). But keep in mind: sleep() and millis() don't fit well together, as after every sleep() millis() will be reset... Use wait() instead of sleep() in case you need short periods eg. between initialising and completion of measurements.



  • This is where I'm currently at, it seems to be working really well. Thanks rejoe2

  • @bluezr1 Looks already really good.
    Question: does the receive() work while the loop does the wait()? I'm not sure about that, because I am used to do the millis()-nonblocking-loop.



  • @rejoe2 I hope that this answers your question. I use Vera as my home controller and tried multiple times turning (sometimes randomly) on and off both relays without any misses as soon as Vera allowed me. Meaning, Vera won’t let you instantly turn a device on and then off or vise versa.

    Do you think I’ll be ok the way it is or should I keep working on this project?



  • @bluezr1 As it seems to work to your satisfaction, you may leave it as is.
    FHEM as a controller allows direct interaction with switching devices, and it is really astonishing to hear Vera may have some restrictions wrt. that.

    But I didn't test your code in my setup, this is why I asked about your observations.

    I may be wrong, but imo, the code isn't yet perfect, so you might keep that in mind for the future in case you run into trouble. In case you need some sort of timer for other projects, you would miss the opportunity to learn how to use this...



  • @rejoe2 It's working

    Although I'm not sure if this part makes sense?

    unsigned long interval = 60000;

  • @bluezr1 Looks like you did a working non-blocking loop 😁
    Didn't do a too close look to all things, but the only header definition that seems to be no longer necessary is the UPDATE_INTERVAL, as this variable isn't used any longer.

    But beside that small remark: 👏



  • <<edit>>It was me, my bad, it's working.

    For some reason if I pull a wire for the relay it'll still show a change within Vera. I can turn them on and off and they'll show up as if they were turned on and off. Before if I pulled a wire to the relays vera wouldn't show any changes.

    Thank you so much rejoe2 for not just giving me the answers but by pushing me to do it myself. You pointed me to where I needed to be and I thank you for that.

    Now you got me wanting to learn even more. 🙂

  • @bluezr1 said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

    Thank you so much rejoe2 for not just giving me the answers but by pushing me to do it myself. You pointed me to where I needed to be and I thank you for that.

    Now you got me wanting to learn even more. 🙂
    Thanks also a lot for your positive feedback - seems there are more and more people interested in quick fixes, but imo, it's by far better to "learn how to fish".

    For the next steps, I'd recommend to do some more "combinded sketching", based on the existing build examples - but you'll find that easy once you did the next two of them 😁

    One more interesting thing may be working with interrups in non-blocking sketches - please mind the needed type of variable definition to avoid irritating effects 😉

    Then you might run into trouble as combining things needs more PINs - then you are forced to have a look on the next level of abstraction: array functions 😉 . For a start, you may analyse the multi-button-relay-sketch somwhere around here in the forum.

    Then you are at least on my level of knowledge within one week 😁

    Please help me


  • @pepson
    Imo there are several things to look at:

    1. Pin 3 seems to be used for button a + 1-wire? -> use a different one

    2. How many DS18B20 do you have attached?
      a) In case it's up to three, you try to report Relay and Temp info partly under the same Child_ID (1+2). Imo, it's better to chose a different starting Child ID, something like "present(i+10, S_TEMP)" or use a variable like "FIRST_TEMP_CHILD" (also use the same scheme for sending).
      b) You may also suffer from a wiring problem, if you are able to compile and flash this sketch. Just for testing you could add a debugg-message to serial with the numSensors

    3. Combining relays, debounced buttons and sleep() most likely will cause problems. Better use a non-blocking loop as described in post #45 and following.

    1. Wrt sending: your controller should show one temperature sensor with Child ID 10. As a consequence, the temp value should also be reported using this ID. So you should adopt this line appropriately, just use the same logic as in presentation() 😁 .
    send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature,1));
    
    1. For the non-blocking loop: As already mentionned, within this thread you just should follow @bluezr1 steps and some of my remarks 😀 .
      The sketch in #63 should be a working solution, but when using dallas temp instead of the DHT, you have also to change the sleep(conversionTime) to wait().


  • I am begginer. Can you give me ready sketch for dallas with one relay ? Please



  • @pepson Especially as a beginner you really should try to follow the necessary steps to develop combined sketches - it's easier than you may think by now.
    Otherwise you may run into the next unexpected trouble without any idea, how things fit together and - even more important - how to debug (or even where to attach what). So asking for ready sketches is not the best idea.

    If you are still convinced about the need of a ready sketch: There's - amongst others - a sketch with #101 using DS18B20 and 4 relays in my repo (link is already available in this thread). , BUT: this is work in progress, may use a modified version of the dallas lib and reports temperatures and relays under the same ChildID - my controller (FHEM) seems not to care about that...
    As I changed communication to RS485 last weekend, I most likely will not do any update, if there are issues or further enhancements on the code (I plan to do some).

  • @rejoe2 said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

    b) You may also suffer from a wiring problem, if you are able to compile and flash this sketch. Just for testing you could add a debugg-message to serial with the numSensors

    Did you follow the instructions as described in the "build" section, attached the data line to PIN3 and used an appropriate resistor (measure it's value) ? Then it's most likely a damaged sensor...



  • @rejoe2
    Yes i connected my sensors to PIN 3 and use resistor 4.7
    But in Domoticz on gateway not show any CHILDS for this NODE.



  • @pepson Seems like the sensor is not detected, so the presentation() will have zero sensors to present...
    If you do not want to follow the proposal to print the numSensors to serial (most likely: 0) you should try to test the DS18B20-Hardware by using an example sketch (e.g. Simple.pde) from the dallas temperature lib (without the MySensors-framework) and have a look on the serial console of the IDE. Be aware: "as is", it uses PIN2 and a different baudrate.
    If there are no temperature values printed, it's either still a wiring problem or the sensor's just broken.



  • Has anyone had any progress on sensor node with mysensors + multiple dallas temp sensors and multiple relays, combining the two codes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been playing with this for a little more than a week, have tried everything suggested but still not working. A push in the right direction would be great!



  • @mghaff said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

    Has anyone had any progress on sensor node with mysensors + multiple dallas temp sensors and multiple relays, combining the two codes?

    Some older code; some rework might be necessary: https://github.com/rejoe2/MySensors_Small/blob/master/MyS101/MyS101.ino
    There are some more DS18B20 examples in the repo, just have a look around...



  • @rejoe2 Thanks! I will do that. the code i used was from the examples. My relays work fine but my temp sensors never register. Even in serial. but if i run the Dallas temp my-sensors code separate i always get reading. Its just been mind boggling. 🙂
