2 or more DHT22 on 1 node with Domoticz



  • I wonder if any one can help with my (hacked and borrowed) sketch that inlcudes x2 DHT22 sensors on one node. Before I start I think my problem is the way Domoticz handles the data so this post probably shouldn't even be on here.
    My sketch below works in the Mysensors serial monitor and i even have a version with a TFT lcd display, all correct. The problem is when it appears in domoticz the humidity from one sensor appears on the other and the 2nd hum is ignored.... for a few seconds it then randomly appears on the correct sensor. There seems to be a few posts problems but with no solution. Can anyone help?

    Mysensors 2.3.1
    Domoticz 4.11506
    Tested on Arduino nano and NodeMcu (same results)

    #define MY_RADIO_RF24
    #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL (RF24_PA_MIN)
    #define MY_NODE_ID 114

  • A bit of a late reply but some time ago I also asked about this in the domoticz forum. "They" don't see the problem although I clearly see in the domoticz sources that this stupid behavior is intentionally put in there. I compiled domoticz with a few changed lines and then it works. Unfortunately I have tons of Mysensors issues, mainly with the NRF2401 (yes, from multiple sources, good psu, capacitors etc.) so I am forcefully have to abandon Mysensors and migrate to ESP8266 nodes to finally get a stable sensor network. Therefore I'm also more flexible with domoticz.
