V_LEVEL light sensor not working



  • I tried making a motion/light/door sensor and everything seems to work fine, except the light sensor doesn't show up in home assistant. The problem seems to be me using V_LEVEL to pass exact lux amount. As I understand it, this should work fine? I can seen in gw log that lux value and "custom_lux" prefix get transferred as expected. Any help would be appreciated as I seem to be lost at this point....

    2019-03-07 19:29:57 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mysensors.helpers] Invalid values: {37: '1'}: sensor platform: node 1 child 3: S_LIGHT_LEVEL requires value_type V_LIGHT_LEVEL @ data[23]
    

    Relevant code:

    #define MY_RADIO_RF24
    #include <MySensors.h>
    
    #include <SPI.h>
    
    #include <Bounce2.h>
    #include <Wire.h>
    #include <BH1750.h>
    
    #define CHILD_ID_LIGHT 3    //ID of light sensor
    
    uint16_t lastlux=0;         //light sensor
    
    BH1750 LightSensor;       //declaration of light sensor
    
    MyMessage msg_light(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_LEVEL);   //light sensor message
    MyMessage msgPrefix(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_UNIT_PREFIX);  //custom unit for light sensor
    
    void setup()
    {
      LightSensor.begin();
    
      send(msgPrefix.set("custom_lux"));        //light sensor setup for hassio
      send(msg_light.set(lastlux));
    
      request(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_LEVEL);
      wait(2000, C_SET, V_LEVEL);
    }
    
    void presentation()
    {
      sendSketchInfo("Motion/Door/Lux sensor", "1.0");    //info about the sensor
    
      present(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, S_LIGHT_LEVEL);
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
        uint16_t lux = LightSensor.readLightLevel();                //only send light info if the motion sensor was triggered
        if (lux != lastlux) {
          send(msg_light.set(lux));
          lastlux = lux;
        }
    }
    


  • I was so occupied checking everything related to MySensors that I completely forgot to check the home-assistant part.

    I didn't specify the MySensors version in configuration.yaml, which defaults to 1.4 which doesn't support V_LEVEL...

    Oh well, problem solved ^^
