MySensors: trying to add Things in WebThings Gateway



  • Ok, here we go. I've had some basic mysensors working with Domoticx for over a year and thought I would give this Gateway a try. I have it installed and everything appears fine (sensor work in Domoticx) but when I try to add 'Things' in the gateway it says that none are found and I get this stuff in the log. (I do have the addin for mysensors added in)

    Can someone help me with this error? I don't know what to even try.


  • Plugin Developer

    It seems the add-on is crashing.

    Some questions:

    • Have you rebooted the device once?
    • What version of the WebThings Gateway are you using?
    • On what operating System are you running it?
    • Under settings, what type of MySensors Gateway have you selected?
    • Under settings, have you checked if the serial port or IP address if ok?
    • Have you enabled the Debugging option? If not, can you enable it and see if you get some additional error messages?

    The error mysensors: Unexpected source: state=5 source=1 action=5 (src/transports/utils/streamhdr.c:306) looks a little like what happened if I had two of the same add-ons running at the same time.



  • I have tried rebooting. It looks like it's version 0.0.7 (the addon that's included with WebThings). Rasp pi with the latest download gateway-0.8.1.img. I'm using Ethernet gateway, the usb device name is blank. I'm using a IP ADDR: 192.168.98:5003 (which is what is working with Domoticz). Question: I've tried it with and without the port, should I have the port in there or not? FYI: Just for fun I added the weather plugin using 'Dark Sky' and it is working so my WebThings Gateway works for that 'thing'. I have turned on debugging and do have some more stuff in the log (I'm not totally sure when to start the cut/paste of the log):

  • Here is a log where I rebooted, went directly to 'Things' and '+' to add/discover new things: (One thing is strange is that I don't seem to be getting that 'original' error where you said it was like two instances where running so maybe that was the case for that error.)

  • I was just thinking, my MySensors gateway was built using version 2.2 mysensors code, I am sort of wondering if that is my problem. This addon was probably never tested against older MySensor version gateway's I'm assuming? At this point I'm thinking I should build a new MS gateway and try that. The WebThings Gateway seems to be working and I know my MySensors sensors are working fine in Domoticz so that really just leaves the MySensors gateway at Version 2.2 as a possible issue. This addon seems to be working for others so I guess that's the most logical thing for me to try. I really would like to get the WebThings gateway working because it really fits what I need for the stuff I have around here!


  • Plugin Developer

    The add-on was never tested with the ethernet gateway option. It should work theoretically.. so it might just be that. I will test it when I get a chance.

    You could try running the serial gateway version. If that works, then we know what the issue is.

    It's not the problem I'm using an ethernet gateway on an ESP8266 and it's running great now.

    @rmalbers said in MySensors: trying to add Things in WebThings Gateway:

    I have it installed and everything appears fine (sensor work in Domoticx)

    Are you trying to run both Domoticz and Things Gateway in parallel connecting to the same MySensors gateway ?


  • Plugin Developer

    @nca78 Thanks, that saves me some test work 🙂

    @rmalbers I believe you cannot have two controllers ingest the data at the same time. One of them will 'win', or both will get some of the messages.

    A possible future feature could be the re-broadcast the incoming messages on another port (e.g. 5004), so that Domoticz could ingest those. Then you could have two controllers both getting the same MySensors data.



  • Ok, I think I tried it with domoticz shutdown but I'll try that again. Thanks to the other reply that they have this working, that gives my hope! Na78: What version of mysensor gateway code are you running? Mine is at V2.2 and I'm wondering if that might be my problem. Thanks for the help on this BTW!



  • Ok, with Domoticz shutdown I get the same stuff in the log. I'm going to see if I can tell more what's going on with wireshark. I'm thinking it has to be something stupid that I have going on, I know my MySensors gateway is good because it's working with Domoticz, the Mozilla WebThings gateway is working because it works with Dark sky weather, so I would think it's something going on with the comm between the two gateways.



  • Ok, I built a new serial USB MySensor gateway. (The old GW is unplugged and Domoticz is shutdown.) The new MS gateway is working because under the IDE I can turn on the com serial port debug and see it going, communicating with the sensors.) I move the USB serial gw to the rasp pi WebThings gateway and set the addon to: /dev/ttyUSB0 and to USB serial gateway. I get the same messages as above. I'm also seeing this in a couple of log files on the WebThings gateway: cat: /tmp/gateway.addonManager: No such device or address
    cat: /tmp/gateway.plugin.mysensors-adapter: No such device or address
    So it sure sounds like in this case it's not seeing or able to open that USB device. That is the device name that appears when I plug the usb serial gateway USB cable into the WebThings gateway rasp pi.


  • Plugin Developer

    @rmalbers Great work, that narrows things down a lot.

    It seems the add-on was crashing. Based on your reporting I dove into the issue and I think I may have found a bug in how it loaded settings.

    I'm uploading version 0.0.8 now. It should take a day or two before the Mozilla teams accepts the new version.



  • Wow, that sounds great! At first I was thinking it might be a permissions issue with opening the USB port but I opened permissions up and found that didn't seem to be the issue.


  • Plugin Developer

    @rmalbers It's been accepted. You should already automatically have the new version.



  • Ok, when I went into the WT GW the first time the addon was at V0.0.7 but there was an new 'Update' tab that I hit and the new addon version installed. With the USB gateway I get this (I think I started the cut/paste at the right spot):

  • This log is from an attempt (with the new addon) using 'Ethernet' GW and the IP address of the GW that I've been using with Domoticz for the last year or so, (it's at mysensor v2.2) This looks like it was communicating with the gw and thus the sensors but still didn't work. This could be because I am at V2.2 of mysensors(?).:

  • FWIW: I was just thinking I should mention, after the 'Update' of the addon the first time I tired it I got the same/similar messages as I had in my OP. I rebooted at that point and those messages went away so I'm thinking that after addon install or update a reboot is probably a good idea.



  • I noticed something with the Ethernet GW: On the addon configure page under the 'IP address' the text has an IP address example that includes the port. When I include the port I get this data in the log file: 2019-06-19 17:47:34.750 ERROR : mysensors: INFO:mysensors.gateway_tcp:Trying to connect to ('192.168.1.98:5003', 5003)

    and it doesn't seem to connect.
    When I leave off the port number I get this in the log file:
    2019-06-19 17:49:44.095 ERROR : mysensors: INFO:mysensors.gateway_tcp:Trying to connect to ('192.168.1.98', 5003)
    2019-06-19 17:49:44.111 ERROR : mysensors: INFO:mysensors:Connected to <_SelectorSocketTransport fd=14 read=idle write=<idle, bufsize=0>>

    and it seems to connect. If I'm interpreting this correctly you have to leave the port number off the IP string for it to work properly, not sure which way it really should be, just pointing this out in case it hadn't been noticed.


  • Plugin Developer

    Thank you for the logs.

    Perhaps this is a point where it crashes and reboots the add-on:

    2019-06-19 15:33:27.935 ERROR : mysensors: DEBUG:mysensors:Sending 1;255;3;0;19;
    2019-06-19 15:33:29.635 INFO : About to call startPairing on MySensorsAdapter
    

    I also noticed that it keeps re-requesting the presentation of your nodes:

    2019-06-19 15:33:34.617 ERROR : mysensors: INFO:mysensors:Requesting new presentation for node 2
    

    This could mean:

    • You have created a node that somehow has the same node-ID as an earlier but different node. Although in theory the add-on handles this case now.
    • Some data is missing that is required to actually create the device. This could be the name.

    Can you share the Arduino Code? Could it be that your presentation function does not send names? Your presentation should look something like this:

    sendSketchInfo(F("Sensor name"), F("1.1"));
    present(CHILD_ID, S_BINARY, F("Button name"));
    

    Here's another example sketch:
    https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/10342/mozilla-webthings-mysensors-add-on-adapter/14

    // By the way, I don't think using v2.2 should matter. Internally the PyMySensors library actually uses 2.2.



  • I need to keep better track of what software is running on a given cpu/sensor, sorry about that but I didn't think of it at the time! I 'think' this is what is running on the office sensor. I should probably build a new sensor using this code and make sure it works the same, (log files match what I've been giving you):
    // Enable debug prints to serial monitor
    //#define MY_DEBUG

    // Enable and select radio type attached
    #include <MyConfig.h>

    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24

    //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <MySensors.h>
    #include <DallasTemperature.h>
    #include <OneWire.h>

    #define COMPARE_TEMP 1 // Send temperature only if changed? 1 = Yes 0 = No

    #define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3 // Pin where dallase sensor is connected
    #define MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20 16
    unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
    OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS); // Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
    DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire); // Pass the oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
    float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
    int numSensors = 0;
    bool receivedConfig = false;
    bool metric = true;
    // Initialize temperature message
    MyMessage msg(0, V_TEMP);

    void before()
    {
    // Startup up the OneWire library
    sensors.begin();
    }

    void setup()
    {
    // requestTemperatures() will not block current thread
    sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);
    }

    void presentation() {
    // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1");

    // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors  
    numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();
    
    // Present all sensors to controller
    for (int i = 0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
    	present(i, S_TEMP);
    }
    

    }

    void loop()
    {
    // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
    sensors.requestTemperatures();

    // query conversion time and sleep until conversion completed
    int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());
    // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
    sleep(conversionTime);
    
    // Read temperatures and send them to controller 
    for (int i = 0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
    
    	// Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
    	float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric ? sensors.getTempCByIndex(i) : sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;
    
    	// Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
    

    #if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
    if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
    #else
    if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
    #endif

    		// Send in the new temperature
    		send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature, 1));
    		// Save new temperatures for next compare
    		lastTemperature[i] = temperature;
    	}
    	}
    sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
    }

    When you create a new post, click on the 'code' button when you want to insert code.

    Back on topic, I don't think that's the actual code, since the log showed that no sketch name was sent. Receiving the sketch name is what triggers the creation of the thing, so it's kind of important.

    For example, here's a node presentation from my own logs:

    2019-06-20 10:20:03.441 ERROR  : mysensors: DEBUG:mysensors:Receiving 33;255;3;0;11;Fireplace
    2019-06-20 10:20:03.446 ERROR  : mysensors: DEBUG:mysensors:Receiving 33;255;3;0;12;1.2
    

    ...Yet I don't see "Temperature Sensor" anywhere in your logs.

    Also in your errors I can see this strange situation where the add-on keeps requesting node 0 to present itself.

    2019-06-19 15:34:00.801 ERROR : mysensors: DEBUG:mysensors:Sending 0;255;3;0;2;
    2019-06-19 15:34:00.875 ERROR : mysensors: DEBUG:mysensors:Receiving 0;255;3;0;2;2.2.0
    

    Node 0 should theoretically be the MySensors gateway. It only responds with it's version, and not a name. Perhaps that's also an issue (although theoretically it shouldn't be, since node 0 is never turned into a thing).

    Come to think of it, I don't see any messages being handled by the add-on other than the initial two messages from the Gateway.

    You should see all kinds of things with >> like:

    2019-06-20 10:30:34.498 INFO   : mysensors: << Requesting presentation from 35
    2019-06-20 10:30:34.500 INFO   : mysensors: >> incoming message > presentation > id: 35; child: 255; subtype: 17; payload: 2.3.1

  • Ok, I'll look at this and probably just start rebuilding my sensor's and gateway making sure I get those names in there. When I built this over a year ago I was playing with different boards and different sensors and once I got things working in Domoticz I moved on. That's why I have so much program source code out there. This time I'll put a unique, my version number in there so I can keep better track. I think I'll even physically label the sensors this time! Thanks for all your time on this, I really like the looks of the WebThings GW and it's really a good fit for the stuff I'm doing/trying to do. Oh, thanks for that about the code button, didn't know about that.


  • Plugin Developer

    @rmalbers Wait one second. I've been playing with the code and I have a suspicion about what's going on. I'm uploading a new version of the add-on, try that first.



  • @alowhum Wow, ok, that's sounds great. I'll watch here for word.


  • Plugin Developer

    Version 0.1.0 has been accepted. Try it and let me know how it goes?



  • Ok ,updated addon and rebooted GW. This test was in Ethernet mode. No luck but the log sure looks different:

    Very strange.

    I notice you press the pairing button immediately. You don't have to press the pairing button for it to scan for devices. But it shouldn't affect things either.

    The only device in your persistence file seems to be your gateway (which it does not turn into a thing, but maybe it should. But that's another matter.)

    Have you restarted your devices after starting the gateway? Otherwise they won't show up. Also make sure your devices send actual values when they boot or shortly after, otherwise those won't show up as properties.

    I think it's time to have a look at your Arduino code.



  • @alowhum Sorry, I forgot about rebooting the sensor - SUCCESS! (Now I just have to find the other sensors to reboot them, LOL! This is with the ethernet gateway:

  • BTW: I know I have to rebuild my sensors, but at least now I have 'things' sort of working and can see better what's going on.


  • Plugin Developer

    Oh my god 😄



  • @alowhum I guess I should sum it up: I have V2.2 and V2.3 sensors running using the Ethernet GW addon config and using the MySensors original, not rebuilt gateway, so the MS gateway is running unchanged, yet does work with the addon and WebThings GW. (I do have to rebuild sensors again for the 'imperial' config setting. domoticz didn't care but it looks like the WebThings GW does use it. (I have mixtures of F degrees, C degrees, etc.)


  • Plugin Developer

    I've updated the first post of the Gateway Addon thread to indicate that devices must be restarted to initially connect them.
