ok I almost there :-D but my pro mini has just Analog 1 to 3. I say I have to change the coda were abouts...
I also have not setup up my Vera Controller as I see you have to pay...

Is there another one that is eazy as I have try some but can not get it to work. eg HomeGenie is download and on my pc but don't think its not to good. don't know how to find my pro mini. happy to chagaen to someing eazer to get me started thanks guys....

Domoticz LOOKS :-D GOOD
BUT new to all this :-D

Black Cat

If you are looking for Software, try openhab.

You need to buy Vera, but the software is free.

@Black-Cat thanks 😁

ok so when adding to Domoticz..
I go to hardware...
I name is..... test...
then choose.. MySensors Gateway with LAN interface....
Data Timeout: .... Disabled.....
Remote Address.... (I have tryed)....

IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS.

(i try everythinbg I can think of and still not work)

Port: ... 5003
My pro min has the red light on and blink blue occassionally.

what I get from the Domoticz log is



2017-07-30 18:00:00.627 Error: MySensors: Can not connect to: 61.9.211.33:5003

@tombstone

What hardware are you using for the gateway? Arduino, Sensebender GW, ESP8266, is it wired or wireless?

Does it get an IP address from your router?

Can you successfully telnet to the above IP address on port 5003? (And what is the output)

Does the gateway send any logs to the serial port? If yes, then post them on the forum.

tombstone

@tbowmo
The hardware I'am using for the gateway is the Arduino pro mini and its wireless from the NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver

I don't know if it is getting IP address from my router.

have not use telnet before (I have just youtube it and enabled it... all what i got from youtube was that you can send email lol cool)

Does the gateway send any logs to the serial port? If yes, then post them on the forum. (were do I get them logs the ones from Domoticz and below but not much info to go on)

Thanks :-D

@tombstone

How is the promini connected to the device runnning domoticz?

To me it sounds like that you have the promini connected directly to your computer where domoticz is running, then you should add it as a serial gateway, and not ethernet gateway

If you haven't already done this, I suggest that you read about the mysensors network so you have a basic understanding on how mysensors works.

@tbowmo
I have it runing both ways but with serial gateway there no errors but when going to setup there is no NODES.

This is my debug log. will like to know if there some thing I missed as I learning thanks :+1:

tbowmo

@tombstone

Just to be sure, you have one pro mini with NRF24 working as a gateway, connected to your computer?

And then you have one (or more) pro minis also with NRF24, acting as nodes?

gohan

@tombstone said in Irrigation Controller (up to 16 valves with Shift Registers):

@tombstone
//#define MY_NODE_ID 1  // Set this to fix your Radio ID or use Auto
IS there someing I have missed with adding NODES???

yuo need to uncomment that line

tbowmo

@gohan

Only if he won't use auto id assignment from domoticz.

@tbowmo
I habe one pro mini with NRF24 and, connected to my computer. I have done everything from the video up too 22mins were I got stuck.

@tombstone

It seems that you have not read up on how mysensors works.. The purpose of mysensors is to create wireless sensors. To do this, we normally have a gateway connected to a computer running some kind of controller software.

Then we have sensor nodes that transmit (wireless) sensor data to the gateway which sends this to the controller software.

Again, please read up on how mysensors are designed, find more here https://www.mysensors.org/about

@tbowmo
can you tell me if I got this wrong

The "brain" is my pro min
"The radio" is nRF24
the brain (promiin) get and sends info to the (Radio)
the controller (my PC that is running Domoticz)" gets and send info to the radio.
That's how I get it after reading :-(
