I verified a variable named Voltage DOES get created and is set on the Vera arduino node device if I create MyMessage with:
MyMessage voltageMsg(255, V_VOLTAGE);
and send value with:
send(voltageMsg.set(12.1, 1));
I think that @Yveaux refers to my generic threshold library (github). It really makes it easy to add sensors and reporting their values to the gateway.
What kind of data? If you want to send light levels the Serial Protocol support V_LIGHT_LEVEL for raw values.
Otherwise... well you can send any number you want via a V_LEVEL as long as you know what to do with it on the controller side.
Arduino code on how to send data is part of most examples on this page.
@mfalkvidd said in Return value of bool send(MyMessage &msg, const bool ack = false);:
@bilbolodz just to check: are you sure there are no repeaters or other gateways within range?
I've to check more thoroughly but rather not.
@nagelc said in Sending custom value to move DC motor a specific # of degrees:
Yes. This looks good. Dropped it in the parser here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/parser
Looks like V_VAR1 is being sent with value 55.
I think the code I posted above should get it from the incoming message and assign to target. If not, then I am not sure what is the problem. Perhaps someone that has worked more with V_VAR can respond?
Actually I finally got it to work! and yes indeed, it was using your code!!!
I don't know what I was doing before, but I tried your code previously but didn't work, and the only way to read the value was using : target = message.getString(); for some reason..
But I changed quite a few things in the code, and now when I tried your code again, it actually worked!
Dude thank you, you are a hero! I will post the final version once I polish up the code in case anyone else needs to do a similar thing!
