4CH AC LED Light Dimmer triack Module Leading Edge how to connect with Domoticz using MySensors?

Bartek Kowalczyk

Hi,
I'm planning to build controller for light based on Ardino Mega and Domoticz installed on Raspbery Pi 3 B. Somedays ago I 've bought Dimmer for light like here: e-bay dimmer and I'm looking for someone who can help me adopt scetch posted below to control dimming by Domoticz. I am using USB cable ror connection between Arduino and Raspberry at this moment.
Any help appreciated

Did you try to adopt it in Domoticz? Do you have any error?

Bartek Kowalczyk

Hi,
I have try to adopt less complicated version to Domoticz: one button should set value of dimmer to 33 % and second 66%. Unfortunatelly without any success.
It looks that node is registered with 5 children (I don't know why 5 ).

Sketch and some print screens from Domoticz below.

This is what I see in serial port monitor:

0;3;1;0;3;33)

gohan

why aren't you using scenes on Domoticz and then use switches to activate them?

Bartek Kowalczyk

Could you plese explain me a little bit more? I'm not sure what are you suggesting.
First I would like to see in domoticz values from Arduino - 33 % or 66% depending on which button I press.

gohan

Let me recap: you want to present just the 4 dimmers and handle the buttons only on the arduino and then send the dimmer status to domoticz as it changes, right?

Bartek Kowalczyk

At the beginning yes, and shortly after I want to control 4 dimmers by Domoticz and by push buttons paralelly.
Second sketch (posted today) it is my testing sketch which I used for learning how communicate with domoticz, but it seems that I have no idea how to doit.

gohan

you could then start adding the switches as S_Binary and use some rules in Domoticz to activate scenes where you can set the dimmers values. In the sketch i'd present the different sensors by hand so you can have a better control on the child IDs
