Vera Gateway Versions

[karenbobiv]

I read that the Vera plugin version and the library versions should be the same, but mine aren't. I downloaded both from the mysensor website. Plugin is v1.3 and the lib is v1.2+. I'm trying to include a temp sensor but it's not detecting it and I'm wondering if this might be the cause? thanks.

No, we rolled the plugin version earlier this week. We will probably promote Arduino library to 1.3 soon also.

They are fully compatible. No worries. ;)

Ok, figured it out. Just a bad solder joint on the sensor harness. Works great!

Actually, a small glitch. I get good temp readings from three sensors strung together on the harness, but then occasionally one or two will go from 70.5 (for example) to -196.5 (note the negative). When it gives the odd reading it's always the -196.5. It updates about once a minute and will occasionally switch back and forth from good readings to the -196.5. Any thoughts?

@karenbobiv
I doubt it's related to the MySensors communication. Are you using a Dallas temp sensor? Could you check that the is actually connected to the dallas sensor by using isConnected().
When googling your problem I found a few hits on -196.6 which is the error code (DEVICE_DISCONNECTED) converted to Fahrenheit.

Start debug mode (Config.h) to see what the sensor actually sends.
