Sorry to necro but, you may be interested to hear that someone published a solution to controlling Neato locally on GitHub. Unfortunately it requires a hardware modification in form of an ESP32 or similar board, but with it you should be able to use your Neato with Home Assistant, for example. I haven't yet tested this myself, but the solution looks worth a look and the instructions seem clear enough. https://github.com/Philip2809/neato-connected As I've received the dreaded shutdown email, I'll be looking into this once I have more time to tinker.

@dbemowsk said in MySensors node not working with Alexa on my Vera: Is there anyone that either still uses a Vera controller or knowssomething about how they work with Alexa? My issue is that my thermostat bridge had the Arduino Pro Mini die and I had to flash a new one. When I did this I had to re-discover it with MySensors in Vera. I then had to delete the node from Alexa to add the new one, but when I go to the list of discoverable devices it doesn't show up. I can control it fin on the Vera but can't add it to Alexa. Sounds tricky! If Vera controls it fine, the issue is likely with the Alexa integration, sometimes a full “refresh” or restarting the Alexa app after re-adding the device in Vera helps it show up.

I’ve had similar trouble with the LGT RF Nano — the radio part is a bit picky. What fixed it for me was lowering the data rate in the sketch and giving it a proper capacitor on VCC (even a small 4.7µF helped a lot). Also worth trying a different CE/CSN pin setup; these clones don’t always match the “standard” wiring perfectly. After that mine started talking to the gateway without any drama.

I learned my lessons about bread boards. Slowly replacing my cheap AliExpress ones with good quality ones. I blew up 2 nano's and 1 nrf this week because of a bad breadboard

Well it's nice that it can help people who want it. Maybe not all.

@skywatch @sindrome73 This is what I do, too. Note that it is wait(), which is a MySensors function and not delay(), an Arduino function. wait() checks for MySensors messages, delay() halts all process, thus a message might be missed.

@mfalkvidd A while ago I tinkered with Media Wiki running on a docker. If I remember correctly you can set access for authors moderators etc. But I forgot, I need to spin that docker up any time soon anyway. Because it contains my network documentation and I need to update it. I'll let you know.

@OldSurferDude So if I get my circuit to work, that would by 22 times less (on average). Well I'm doing too many things at the same time. :)

You don't check for which sensor the message is send - message.getSensor() - and in both cases you set the relays both on Like Skywatch said. So you could do something like: if ( message.type == V_STATUS ) { // check if GW send a status change if ( message.getSensor() == sensor 1 ) { // handles sensor 1 } else if ( message.getSensor() == sensor 2 ) { // handles sensor 1 } ... etc }

I did a grep on the source code and found this snipper #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP32) // Turn off access point WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) WiFi.hostname(MY_HOSTNAME); #elif defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP32) WiFi.setHostname(MY_HOSTNAME); #endif #if defined(MY_IP_ADDRESS) WiFi.config(_MQTT_clientIp, _gatewayIp, _subnetIp); #endif /* End of MY_IP_ADDRESS */ (void)WiFi.begin(MY_WIFI_SSID, MY_WIFI_PASSWORD, 0, MY_WIFI_BSSID); #endif MySensors uses the standard ESP libraries for this. So I expect it to work. But you need to provide at least a bit of source code. Right now it's hard to answer your question. Regarding to MySensors: A HTTP hostname can only be set for Gateways that either use Wifi or Ethernet For nodes you can provide a sketchname and that will be seen in your controller. Regarding to static non static IP addresses. I prefer to use DHCP and set that device in my router as a static IP. There I also give it another hostname. So that in case I have to replace my Gateway I can do it all in the router. Hope this helps. But please provide more info on what you're trying to achieve

we’ve been using Triton detectors at my school for a while now, they catch both nicotine and THC vapor fast and it sends an alert right when someone vapes, even picks up small amounts. it’s probably the closest thing you’ll find for what you need.

@goblin feel free to share concrete error messages or questions. We might be able to help on well-described problems. Otherwise - hope ChatGPT can help you ;-)

MySensors is an EXCELLENT project. It allows for complete control over the various sensors. It's extremely simple. Its drawback is that it's open source, so it's unfunded and development is slow, but I don't think there are any better projects than this at the moment.

@tnick I know this is an old post, but if it helps you - I've created support for STM32 based on latest STM32duino here. It's currently made to be backward compatible for the existing STM32F1 support, which is what you are struggling. But with a small change you can use the new STM32 HAL support. Let me know if you are interested to give it a try. The longer term plan is to remove the existing (old) STM32F1 support in favor of the new and more general STM32 support. (If @mfalkvidd agrees ;-))

Did it work before or is it a new build?

@Vuinne-Ryvmar You seem to be confused about what this forum is. Maybe you just ended up here on a random Google search? But in our case on an Arduino, D3 is literally the name for one of the metal legs coming off of the little controller, and we call it a pin sometimes. @tbowmo was looking for how to send the command to turn the power on or off to that part of the board, not a code to enable connecting up a controller to their phone. I see that a D3 game controller is a thing, but I doubt you will have any luck getting help with that here. It's not what this site is about. This is what we work with: [image: ArduinoUnoFront.jpg]

Hello I still didn't figure it out exactly, what is the issue with LGT8F328P and arduino, but for start, it can work, if you define 4x faster baud rate. So I define MY_BAUD_RATE 76800 and connect terminal with 19200, and it works. LGT is started in 8 MHz by default, and it looks like this is not corrected with mysensors. But this only helped for serial port, because later I had issues with DHT library timings. If I later change speed to 16 MHz and start serial port again, it works as expected: noInterrupts(); CLKPR = 0x80; CLKPR = 0x01; interrupts(); Serial.begin(19200);

as I experienced, MQ sensors are not really gaz sensitive, they are more particle size sensitive when hot enough and when not totally scrap. I would not rely my life on them, if you have an alcool spray use it around and any MQ will to go the sky...

I like the joke : ) I'll try to keep it simple. Most of my sensors are just reporting temperature and humidity. Since I can assign them to a room in home assistant. They don't need anything fancy.

@sebastieng Thanks for letting us and future readers know. -OSD
