Need help for my first time



  • Hello,
    I finally decided to give a try to my sensors but with no luck yet.
    I have configured my sensors gateway as a MGTT on a RPI 3 on with I am running Domoticz

    I wanted to test a first sensor based on the MQ135 gaz sensor.
    I have uploaded on my Arduino nano the sketch AirQualitySensor.ino

    But it looks that the Arduino is booting every few seconds.

    Whats wrong ?

    Hi @redfirebrooks, welcome to the MySensors community!

    !TSM:ID:FAIL
    

    means that the node did not receive any id from the controller. I don't think Domoticz supports dynamic id assignment over mqtt. You'll need to assign id to your nodes manually by adding

    #define MY_NODE_ID 42
    

    before including MySensors.h, where 42 is the unique number (1-254) you want to give the node. More info: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/group__RoutingNodeSettingGrpPub.html#gac677233da7f20bbf93cb479471e3234e

    The node is not rebooting. If it was rebooting you would see MCO:BGN:INIT NODE,CP=RNNNA---,REL=255,VER=2.3.1 over and over again.

    If you haven't already, check out https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ for the most common problem and how to troubleshoot them most efficiently, including how touse the log parser to translate the logs to something that's easer to read.

    So values are always 0 so something is wrong with the sensor.
    And I can't find it in Domoticz also.

    Not so easy 😞


  • Mod

    Nice work @redfirebrooks

    The log shows that the sensor does not send any values. Domoticz only shows sensors after they have sent their first value, so that's why the sensor does not show in Domoticz. (Why Domoticz behaves like this is a mystery to everyone.)

    I don't have experience with this sensor, but my guess would be a problem with the wiring. Could you post photos of the wiring? A second pair of eyes is often helpful to spot problems.

    Not sure it will help

    Have tested the wiring with another sketch and it is good, it returns me values

  • Ok so I managed to make it works using a specific MQ135 sketch, I thought the one in the examples folder was compatible with a MQ135...

    But, even if now I have readings, I do not see them in Domoticz.
    Something wrong on the Domoticz side ? but what ?

    @redfirebrooks according to the log, the node is not sending any measurement data. It just goes to sleep over and over again.

    Hard to tell why this happens without seeing the exact sketch code. Would you mind posting it?

    EDIT: Sorry, was on mobile and didn't see that the values were being sent, just not on the first two sleep periods. These lines show that the node is sending values (first the value 1617, later the value 1846).

    TSF:MSG:SEND,42-42-0-0,s=0,c=1,t=37,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:1617
    TSF:MSG:SEND,42-42-0-0,s=0,c=1,t=37,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:1836
    

    So it seems like the problem is that Domoticz is unable to display the information.

    What does the Hardware->Setup page looks for the MySensors gateway?
    What is shown on the "Devices" page in Domoticz?
