Send 2x relay states to Home Assistant to make them visible?
-
Hi all
Been fiddling around all day. Trying to migrate from domoticz to HA.
I have an irrigation controller with two relays plus temp and bat children as well.
I cant get the relays to come up in HA although can see/use them on domoticz.
Have mys running on a pi ethernetted to a linux box with HA running as a VM. It can see my other sensors okay.
Code is rough sorry see below and TBH Im not sure which revision Im up to Ive got several .inos around but I think this is the best one. A coder I aint.
Apparently I need to "Send at least one initial value per V_TYPE. In version 2.x of MySensors, this has to be done in the loop function. See below for an example in 2.0 of how to make sure the initial value has been received by the controller" as per HA.
Is this true, does it have to be done in the main loop?
Could someone show me how to do this for BOTH relays please? They should always start in the off state...
Many many thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
you don't send the state of your relays at all! So you need to add
MyMessage msgRelay1(CHILD_ID_RELAY1, V_STATUS); MyMessage msgRelay2(CHILD_ID_RELAY2, V_STATUS);objects. The presentation is OK. Then, you need a globale variable
bool firstRun=true;before the
void loop().
Inside the loop, i would put it in the begining, you need aif (firstRun) { send(msgRelay1.set(digitalRead(RELAY_1)); send(msgRelay1.set(digitalRead(RELAY_1+1)); firstRun == false; }But your code is too complicated, and setting is not handled in the receive. If you give me some minutes, I'll post you a complete example.

Eiten I am much obliged. Sorry for my code Ive been trying this and trying that and sort of lost track of what I done and changed.
You make it look so simple haha I just couldnt work out how to write the MyMessage and send bits thankyou so much.
Need to retire for the evening as up at 5am for work but will be back on to try it all out tomorrow, am looking forward to your next post.

I'm in the train ATM and do not have hardware. But I'll test it later.
To keep it simple there are things missing like resending and things like that.Regards, Edi

Wow Edi you put a lot of work into that, appreciated man!
So your code seems to do some weird things see below from the serial output.
Heres a bit of it below this seems to be a repeating loop once I activated the two switches from Domoticz. These switches were registered from my own code yesterday I guess the sensor and child IDs are the same.
Prior to this loop there is a long run of these !MCO:PRO:RC=1 which the log parser identifies as "Recursive call detected in _process(), call level=1". These go on for many pages.
So yeah something a bit broken there Im sorry.
Nothing registered on HA =(
Have also had a go with my original code with your three suggested additions.
Is running good, domoticz has seen temp/bat/switches.
But still nothing on HA.
I have tried deleting MyS integration from HA, restarting HA, reloading MyS integration and still does not come up.
Do you think it could be because I have Domoticz listneing to the same mygw on the PI as HA? Would they compete for info or share? Beyond my level of understanding.
Perhaps I should implement a MyS serial gateway on a spare PI and connect to the HA linux box via ethernet rather than wifi and see how that goes....?Many thanks,
Matt

No problem Matt, as I said, I had a looong train ride. Just got home, I'll try it myself now. May I ask you which controller you use?
And the battery type would also be interesting. Lead Acid?

@eiten Hi I figured that out, radio was sort of working when device powered by serial usb programmer, enough for me to think was okay. HOWEVER was only ~1.7v so now I have SLA plugged in hardly any NACKs
Yes I have a SLA that normally charges via solar panel.
Controlled is a PI3 running mysgw development, is now conntected to linuxbox via ethernet.
So I tried your code again there is still weird stuff but I have registered both switches, one temp and one bat so perfect!
However, and this is annoying as this site is not letting me upload pics anymore but some characters are now messed up, same as in the serial ouput round arduino IDEW as before, and also device name in HA is now "{�������~��S��b������Mn�� 54" haha
Firmware also is "Firmware: ����{�������~��S��b������" within HA.
So all child sensors are there,
Bit odd eh!
Im gonna give the PC to my son so he can get his gametime in now and wife is away with the laptop but will be back a bit later tonight

Hello again!
Turns out that:
- I suppose you are on an AVR. They don't seem to like
PSTR(). I changed them toF()and now there are no more hieroglyphs. - You have to send the sensor values before any other messages (in this case the
sendBatteryLevel(battPct);for HA to be happy. - I forgot to set the
lastSend = now;, so it repeatedly sent temp and batt. - I forgot to set
changeRelay1 = true;andchangeRelay2 = true;.

- I suppose you are on an AVR. They don't seem to like
-
Ah no sorry should have said Im usuing pro-mini and FTDI breakout board to program over USB.
Sitting on sundbergs board with vreg added etc. Just running your code now...
All works, picks up on first presentation thankyou! Have you got a paypal I can buy you a beer or coffee?
-
Hey Matt, no problem, that's what the community is here for. But if we meet, I'd love to have a beer with you! I'm from switzerland, so chances may not be too high.
Some other thoughts:
For SLA, you can estimate the SOC by measuring the voltage, but only if you have no load an no charging. If you want to do it really good, you also take the non-linearity into account. The SLA is full, if the open circuit voltage (no load, no charging) is at about 12.8V. 11V for empty is ok. But I would add some code that the relays don't switch if you are under 11V or so, because this can damage the battery.Do you use a charger, or is the panel directly connected to the battery? In the second case, you should add a diode so the battery does not reverse feed the panel when it's dark. And you should switch of (short circuit) the panel if the battery voltage is at 14.4V or above. This will also help for a longer battery life.

Very generous of you matey.
I have a solar charge controller so no worries with overcharging or draining at night.
I learned eventually to bring the battery inside through winter it lasts a lot longer now!
I've been to Switzerland Jungfrau and Bern on a contiki tour around 2004 long time ago now still have a wee knife I bought.
Have kids wife and mortgage now so sadly my travelling days are behind me, at least for another eight years or so lol
-
Ah that's good.
Yes, bring the battery inside over winter. For my all year outdoor thingies, I changed now to SoIon, let's se how they do in cold times.
Ah cool! Did you ride the train? If so, you rode on my work, I do electrical engineering for cog wheel trains!
-
@eiten haha yep we went up the vernacular I think it's called still clearly remember the beautiful views and ice caves
-
Oh no I'm wrong cog rail it is!
-
@Matt Yes, the landscape there is incredible. Unfortunately, I mostly have to work when I'm there
Where are you from?
