This should work with Domoticz, it's what I intend to use with it. I've received the boards from China and I'm currently working on a version 2 of this board. There are some errors in the design of version 1 that I need to get out. New version will be up shortly.
Thank you so much, scalz.
That solved my problem.
Just soldered them and now it works.
It really seems the arduino needs a good wired connection in order to work.
Thank you both for your answers.
With so many parameters to play with, it was not easy to understand what was wrong.. But I think I finally got a way do get my hardware working
Here are my findings :
I thought I got RFM73 version of NRF24-like radios. They look like like here and here.
After checking and connecting all VCC and GND together, switch radios and arduinos... I got them suddenly working with Mysensors development librairies, then back to silence without apparent reason...
Indeed like @mark_venn suggested, I went back to stable librairies and try so set a static ID. Worked well... until it went back to silence again !
Then, following @mfalkvidd advice, I realised that flashing the eeprom_clear sketch solved my all my problems !
My summary :
Ensure that your 3.3V power supply is strong enough.
Ensure that your arduino, radios and sensors are sharing the same GND and VCC.
Use development librairies from github
Flash eeprom_clear before flashing your mysensor sketches
Then gatewaySerial and relayActuator should be able to communicate "out of box", mean you'll monitor some lines like this on the gateway serial : 0;255;3;0;9;read: 0-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=15,pt=0,l=2,sg=0:
Thanks again for your help, now I can start to play
Hello,
I want to build this project. But I don't need to power it by batteries. Has anyone the circuit diagram (in FrizIng?)
I have also the problem, that I can't see, on the breadboard picture of this project where the red wire from the battery ends after the connection to the Arduino?
Does it go to the FET and the R7?
Can anyone help me?
I recently build successfully a mysensor node based on an Arduino Uno, a Robolink IR sensor and a Robolink DHT11 sensor. The last two from an Elektor sensor kit ever bought for my son when he was still interested by electronics .
My controller is Home Assistant, so I did a merge of the given MySensors example sketch and the Home Assistant example sketch together with the DHT11 sketch.
The airco is a Samsung one, so in the sketch you will find these defines uncommented. Replace by your airco manufacturer.
People interested in building one, can find my sketch on https://github.com/ericvb/MySensorsArduinoSketches
@ToniA a big thanks for the work to decode all these IR sequences!
