Problem with sensors on arduino and domoticz

[bjacobse]

Domoticzs guide, do you have the mysensors gateway defined in Domoticz?

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MySensors

[bjacobse]

in a shell try to type "dmesg |grep tty"
then there should be something that shows that a ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1 devices is attached

Do you connect your sensor to the same mega2560 which works like serial gateway or are you using different mega2560 connected through radio to serial gateway mega2560?

@nca78 Hi,
I use an arduino mega 2560, the gateway was successfully added on arduino.
for MYDEBUG i will test this today

[hyperflemme]

@kimot I have only 1 arduino, i have put the gateway into this card.

@nca78 Hi,

Look this and help me please. sketch for motion sensor.

[Nca78]

@hyperflemme you can check the log using the log parser
https://www.mysensors.org/build/parser

Here it says it cannot connect to parent, is you gateway active, and on the same radio channel ?

[hyperflemme]

@nca78 what do you mean by log parser?
i just have put a gateway usb into arduino.

[hyperflemme]

@nca78

[Nca78]

@hyperflemme as you can read "no potential parents replied to find parent request". It means no gateway replied to the radio calls.

Please describe your full mysensors installation if you want help :

• controller used ?
• board, radio used for gateway ?
• board, radio used for sensor ?

@hyperflemme
Than in your second sketch ( with sensors )
define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL
is missing.
This sketch works like normal node without this, not as gateway with sensors connected.

@nca78 Hi,
I just have an nrf24l01 plug into my arduino.

I miss something to make it work?
Thank's for helping me

[hyperflemme]

@kimot in my sketch for motion sensor you think i just have to had #define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL on the top of the program?

Thank's for your help

The arduino that is connected to computer with USB should have #define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL yes, so it will behave as a gateway and send the data to the computer. You need to configure it in your controller (home automation software) also.

If you have 1 gateway (arduino + radio) connected to computer + 1 sensor (arduino + radio) separated then the sensor should not have this #define.

[hyperflemme]

@nca78 all my sensor are connected on the arduino card with nRF24L01, and the arduino card is connected by usb on my computer. I want tu connect the arduino card at an raspberry pi 3 but she don't recognise arduino card and sensor, however i have put the gateway and sketch of sensor into the arduino card....

[Nca78]

@hyperflemme what controller software are you using on the raspberry pi ?

[hyperflemme]

@nca78 Linux on raspberry pi 3 with domoticz

[Nca78]

@hyperflemme did rebuild the gateway script with #define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL ?
Then did you add the gateway in the hardware tab of domoticz ?

[hyperflemme]

@nca78 domoticz recognize the arduino card, his version of gateway, but into hardware tab if i change the card i have an children "Unknown" with id 3 and an other child unusable with a ID 255.
in the log of domoticz i have "Gateway ready"

[Nca78]

@hyperflemme so it's good news domoticz can see your gateway.

Can you post the script you are using now ?
