Node to Node Communication

cleight

@hek This is the code I am using on the sensor side to send to LCD Node (Node 11)

gw.send(msgHTTemp.setDestination(11).setSensor(i).set(temperature,1));

And in serial monitor on node 11 I see the data being captured correctly, so I believe my issue still lies in my code on the LCD Screen side.

read: 1-0-11 s=0,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5:66.2

Here is my latest Sketch after I made changes again per Hek's suggestion, only thing is I couldn't use float as I am out of room in my sketch to hard to use INT instead for testTemp

Forget.. looked at the wrong sketch.

@cleight said:

gw.begin();

You forgot to initialize begin like you were told above.

I have this in my gateway.begin

gw.begin(getVariables, RADIO_ID);

I seem to need to have it this way or Vera doesn't get Node ID 11 anymore and it gets a random generated ID. So then I put the Case statement at the bottom of my getVariables Function.

hek

If you send it as a float value you must use getFloat (it is transmitted as binary data). Doing atoi will get you garbled data because it is not transmitted as ascii.

If your memory is low, I suggest you either convert and send is as a string (char *) and do message.getString()

or

send it as a int and just do message.getInt() on the receiving side.

BTW the "String" class you're using is VERY memory hungry and is probably the reason for low memory an after a while probably result in crashes (it fragments memory).

cleight

@hek How do I send it as an integer?

hek

declare the variable you're sending as int or convert it by casting

gw.send (msgHum.set(static_cast<int>(humidity)));

@hek Converting my sensor to send the data as an Integer worked and it is now parsing correctly, however I also have a humidity child sensor on that node I would like to send to node 11 as well, how would I capture that in the case statement?

hek

@cleight
just switch on message.sensor (should be one of CHILD_ID_HUM, CHILD_ID_TEMP)

Chaotic

@cleight I posted code to do just that

#define BEDROOM_NODE_ID 42
#define KITCHEN_NODE_ID 44
#define TEMP 0
#define HUM 1
float bdtemp = 0, bdhum =0, kntemp = 0, knhum =0;
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  switch (message.sender) {
        case BEDROOM_NODE_ID:
             switch (message.sensor){
                   case TEMP
                         bdtemp = message.getFloat();
                  break; 
                  case HUM
                         bdhum = message.getFloat();
                  break;
          } 
          break; 
     case KITCHEN_NODE_ID:
             switch (message.sensor){
                  case TEMP
                         kntemp = message.getFloat();
                  break; 
                  case HUM
                         knhum = message.getFloat();
                  break; 
        } 
         break; 
  }
 updateDisplay();  
}

cleight

@Chaotic I missed your code earlier, thank you for this, although while compiling is it saying I am missing a colon before knhum for some reason, need to dig deeper.

Chaotic

@cleight that is what I get for coding on the fly

change

case TEMP

and

case HUM

with

case TEMP:

and

case HUM:

cleight

@Chaotic Thank you, I knew it had to be something simple.

Ok last issue to be worked out and I think I am good to go, thanks again to @Chaotic and @hek for there assistance with my project.

Last issue is with the sensor node, it sends the data to the LCD Node (node 11) but only sends the data to the gateway on boot, it will not send it to the gateway after it starts sending to Node 11. I would like it to send to both the Node and the Gateway all the time, that way Vera see the information as well as my LCD.

Here is the output of the Serial Monitor, also for some reason on each temp update it sends to node 11 twice for some reason:

@cleight I think the easiest solution (all theory btw) would be to duplicate the message for each sensor

MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);
MyMessage msgHumLCD(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);
MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
MyMessage msgTempLCD(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
MyMessage msgHTTemp(CHILD_ID_HTTEMP, V_TEMP);
MyMessage msgHTTempLCD(CHILD_ID_HTTEMP, V_TEMP);

then in the setup()

msgHumLCD.setDestination(11);
msgTempLCD.setDestination(11);
msgHTTPempLCD.setDestination(11);

Then in the loop when you are doing the gw.send just do a second one for the LCD message (you shouldn't need the setDestination)

cleight

@Chaotic Sorry for not getting back sooner on this, but I did confirm that your solution does indeed work and works very well. I can't wait to finish this project up and be able to post the Pictures/Sketch to share with the community.
