    @Ngwpower Don't give up! It is a learning curve for sure but totally worth it when you finally get it. Try the irrigation controller sketch from the MySensors 1.5 library example. All the required stuff should be there.

    @Sergio-Rius I'm not sure what you're looking for. Do you need the 1.5 version?

    The problem are the new libraries that come with newer arduino ide. My attempts fail about the wire.h library location or a wrong "positive" variable at liquiddisplay.
    I think it's not compatible with newer libraries.

      Thanks, I envy you young people at 67 just opening the wide world of tech - do't have to do this sitting on a motor grader or Bull Dozer in the high desert. I have tried from 1.3 to 2.0 and thought I saw a flicker of LED in the string of switches, as in your example. Had my 5V on the wrong pin, so back to square one.
      I am having fun attempting to learn the terminology as well as the application!

      I was just thinking the other day I can't wait until I retire so I'll have more time to work on this stuff ;)
      I'm glad you're not giving up. It took me a while to get it too but eventually it all started to make a little sense. Unfortunately you're starting at a harder time because we are all still getting comfortable with 2.0

      @Sergio-Rius Ok, I haven't updated my libraries for a while so hopefully these will work for you. 0_1468884836658_Libraries.zip

        Thank you very much. Unfortunately those are not the libraries I've problems with. The problem are the built-in ones. The ones that come with the Arduino IDE.
        What version of the IDE are you running? I guess you use the Mysensors 1.4.2 libs.

        I installed Arduino IDE 1.6.9 and using your libraries, those are the errors shown:

        WARNING: Category '' in library UIPEthernet is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
        W:\Domotica\MySensors_Arduino\arduino-1.6.9\portable\sketchbook\libraries\LiquidCrystal\I2CIO.cpp:35:26: fatal error: ../Wire/Wire.h: No such file or directory

        compilation terminated.

        exit status 1
        Error compiling for board Arduino Nano.
        

        As you can appreciate, the Wire library is at the ../Wire path, so that error is meaningless.
        I told you that I hate java environments? I still haven't found one that works out of the developer computer without issues. X)

        EDIT: So the problem is that the Wire library has been updated, but we are still using an old version of the LiquidCrystal. This last one expects the .h files been on the root library folder but this has been changed in newer versions. Built-in libraries have their code in "src" subfolder.
        I moved it to parent folder and it compiles, but I don't know what will happen with other dependencies.
        Better would be updating the sketch.

          @Ngwpower I use this one which is earlier in this thread, an it works with my domoticz.

          /*
          MySprinkler for MySensors
          
          Arduino Multi-Zone Sprinkler Control
          
          May 31, 2015
          
          *** Version 2.0
          
          *** Upgraded to http://MySensors.org version 1.4.1
          *** Expanded for up to 16 Valves
          *** Setup for active low relay board or comment out #define ACTIVE_LOW to switch to active high
          *** Switch to bitshift method vs byte arrays
          *** Changed RUN_ALL_ZONES Vera device to 0 (was highest valve)
          *** Added optional LCD display featuring remaining time, date last ran & current time
          *** Features 'raindrop' and 'clock' icons which indicate sensor is updating valve data and clock respectively
          *** Added single pushbutton menu to manually select which program to run (All Zones or a Single Zone)
          *** Added option of naming your Zones programmatically or with Vera (V_VAR3 used to store names)
          
          Utilizing your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org gateway you can
          control up to a sixteen zone irrigation system with only three digital pins.  This sketch
          will create NUMBER_OF_VALVES + 1 devices on your Vera controller
          
          This sketch features the following:
          
          * Allows you to cycle through All zones (RUN_ALL_ZONES) or individual zone (RUN_SINGLE_ZONE) control.
          * Use the 0th controller to activate RUN_ALL_ZONES (each zone in numeric sequence 1 to n)
            using Variable1 as the "ON" time in minutes in each of the vera devices created.
          * Use the individual zone controller to activate a single zone.  This feature uses
            Variable2 as the "ON" time for each individual device/zone.
          * Connect according to pinout below and uses Shift Registers as to allow the MySensors
            standard radio configuration and still leave available digital pins
          * Turning on any zone will stop the current process and begin that particular process.
          * Turning off any zone will stop the current process and turn off all zones.
          * To push your new time intervals for your zones, simply change the variable on your Vera and
            your arduino will call to Vera once a minute and update accordingly.  Variables will also be
            requested when the device is first powered on.
          * Pushbutton activation to RUN_ALL_ZONES, RUN_SINGLE_ZONE or halt the current program
          * LED status indicator
          
          PARTS LIST:
          Available from the MySensors store - http://www.mysensors.org/store/
          * Relays (8 channel)
          * Female Pin Header Connector Strip
          * Prototype Universal Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
          * NRF24L01 Radio
          * Arduino (I used a Pro Mini)
          * FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter
          * Capacitors (10uf and .1uf)
          * 3.3v voltage regulator
          * Resistors (270 & 10K)
          * Female Dupont Cables
          * 1602 LCD (with I2C Interface)
          * LED
          * Push button
          * Shift Register (SN74HC595)
          * 2 Pole 5mm Pitch PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block
          * 3 Pole 5mm Pitch PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block
          * 22-24 gauge wire or similar (I used Cat5/Cat6 cable)
          * 18 gauge wire (for relay)
          * Irrigation Power Supply (24-Volt/750 mA Transformer)
          
          
          INSTRUCTIONS:
          
          * A step-by-step setup video is available here: http://youtu.be/l4GPRTsuHkI
          * After assembling your arduino, radio, decoupling capacitors, shift register(s), status LED, pushbutton LCD (I2C connected to
            A4 and A5) and relays, and load the sketch.
          * Following the instructions at https://MySensors.org include the device to your MySensors Gateway.
          * Verify that each new device has a Variable1, Variable2 and Variable3. Populate data accordingly with whole minutes for
            the RUN_ALL_ZONES routine (Variable1) and the RUN_SINGLE_ZONE routines (Variable 2).  The values entered for times may be zero and
            you may use the defaulet zone names by leaving Variable3 blank.
          * Once you have entered values for each zone and each variable, save the settings by pressing the red save button on your Vera.
          * Restart your arduino; verify the settings are loaded into your arduino with the serial monitor; the array will be printed
            on the serial monitor.
          * Your arduino should slow-flash, indicating that it is in ready mode.
          * There are multiple debug serial prints that can be monitored to assure that it is operating properly.
          * ***THIS SHOULD NO LONGER BE NEEDED*** The standard MySensors library now works. https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads for the I2C library, or use yours

          As you also use it from Domoticz, your controller notices the changes in valves? I mean, when the IC is cycling through zones, Domoticz correctly changes states or you must refresh the page for it to show?

            @Sergio-Rius yes, I can turn them on/off, and the switch is also shifting from on/off.

              @petewill
              Thank you very much. Unfortunately those are not the libraries I've problems with. The problem are the built-in ones. The ones that come with the Arduino IDE.
              What version of the IDE are you running? I guess you use the Mysensors 1.4.2 libs.

              I installed Arduino IDE 1.6.9 and using your libraries, those are the errors shown:

              WARNING: Category '' in library UIPEthernet is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
              W:\Domotica\MySensors_Arduino\arduino-1.6.9\portable\sketchbook\libraries\LiquidCrystal\I2CIO.cpp:35:26: fatal error: ../Wire/Wire.h: No such file or directory

              exit status 1
              Error compiling for board Arduino Nano.
              

              As you can appreciate, the Wire library is at the ../Wire path, so that error is meaningless.
              I told you that I hate java environments? I still haven't found one that works out of the developer computer without issues. X)

              EDIT: So the problem is that the Wire library has been updated, but we are still using an old version of the LiquidCrystal. This last one expects the .h files been on the root library folder but this has been changed in newer versions. Built-in libraries have their code in "src" subfolder.
              I moved it to parent folder and it compiles, but I don't know what will happen with other dependencies.
              Better would be updating the sketch.

              @Sergio-Rius Those can you download from internet. About Liquidcrystal is there a newer version called NewLiquidCrystal, that is also possible to download.
              That one worked for me.
              I deleted all my duplicates, it is anoying when you get those messeges in the arduino ide.
              Also the fatal error you get is ../wire/wire.h.
              seems like you have #include <../Wire/Wire.h
              What happens if you just write #include Wire.h

              What happens if you just

                Thanks. No, I finally made it work.
                I only have to find why my Domoticz don't update the switch status.

                  Thank you very much. Unfortunately those are not the libraries I've problems with. The problem are the built-in ones. The ones that come with the Arduino IDE.
                  What version of the IDE are you running? I guess you use the Mysensors 1.4.2 libs.

                  I installed Arduino IDE 1.6.9 and using your libraries, those are the errors shown:

                  WARNING: Category '' in library UIPEthernet is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
                  W:\Domotica\MySensors_Arduino\arduino-1.6.9\portable\sketchbook\libraries\LiquidCrystal\I2CIO.cpp:35:26: fatal error: ../Wire/Wire.h: No such file or directory

                  exit status 1
                  Error compiling for board Arduino Nano.
                  

                  As you can appreciate, the Wire library is at the ../Wire path, so that error is meaningless.
                  I told you that I hate java environments? I still haven't found one that works out of the developer computer without issues. X)

                  EDIT: So the problem is that the Wire library has been updated, but we are still using an old version of the LiquidCrystal. This last one expects the .h files been on the root library folder but this has been changed in newer versions. Built-in libraries have their code in "src" subfolder.
                  I moved it to parent folder and it compiles, but I don't know what will happen with other dependencies.
                  Better would be updating the sketch.

                  @Sergio-Rius you can change the reference in the display library files. Just remove the path to the wire.h library.

                    @Ngwpower I use this one which is earlier in this thread, an it works with my domoticz.

                    Arduino Multi-Zone Sprinkler Control
                    
                    May 31, 2015
                    
                    *** Version 2.0
                    
                    *** Upgraded to http://MySensors.org version 1.4.1
                    *** Expanded for up to 16 Valves
                    *** Setup for active low relay board or comment out #define ACTIVE_LOW to switch to active high
                    *** Switch to bitshift method vs byte arrays
                    *** Changed RUN_ALL_ZONES Vera device to 0 (was highest valve)
                    *** Added optional LCD display featuring remaining time, date last ran & current time
                    *** Features 'raindrop' and 'clock' icons which indicate sensor is updating valve data and clock respectively
                    *** Added single pushbutton menu to manually select which program to run (All Zones or a Single Zone)
                    *** Added option of naming your Zones programmatically or with Vera (V_VAR3 used to store names)
                    
                    Utilizing your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org gateway you can
                    control up to a sixteen zone irrigation system with only three digital pins.  This sketch
                    will create NUMBER_OF_VALVES + 1 devices on your Vera controller
                    
                    This sketch features the following:
                    
                    * Allows you to cycle through All zones (RUN_ALL_ZONES) or individual zone (RUN_SINGLE_ZONE) control.
                    * Use the 0th controller to activate RUN_ALL_ZONES (each zone in numeric sequence 1 to n)
                      using Variable1 as the "ON" time in minutes in each of the vera devices created.
                    * Use the individual zone controller to activate a single zone.  This feature uses
                      Variable2 as the "ON" time for each individual device/zone.
                    * Connect according to pinout below and uses Shift Registers as to allow the MySensors
                      standard radio configuration and still leave available digital pins
                    * Turning on any zone will stop the current process and begin that particular process.
                    * Turning off any zone will stop the current process and turn off all zones.
                    * To push your new time intervals for your zones, simply change the variable on your Vera and
                      your arduino will call to Vera once a minute and update accordingly.  Variables will also be
                      requested when the device is first powered on.
                    * Pushbutton activation to RUN_ALL_ZONES, RUN_SINGLE_ZONE or halt the current program
                    * LED status indicator
                    
                    PARTS LIST:
                    Available from the MySensors store - http://www.mysensors.org/store/

                    INSTRUCTIONS:
                    
                    * A step-by-step setup video is available here: http://youtu.be/l4GPRTsuHkI
                    * After assembling your arduino, radio, decoupling capacitors, shift register(s), status LED, pushbutton LCD (I2C connected to
                      A4 and A5) and relays, and load the sketch.
                    * Following the instructions at https://MySensors.org include the device to your MySensors Gateway.
                    * Verify that each new device has a Variable1, Variable2 and Variable3. Populate data accordingly with whole minutes for
                      the RUN_ALL_ZONES routine (Variable1) and the RUN_SINGLE_ZONE routines (Variable 2).  The values entered for times may be zero and
                      you may use the defaulet zone names by leaving Variable3 blank.
                    * Once you have entered values for each zone and each variable, save the settings by pressing the red save button on your Vera.
                    * Restart your arduino; verify the settings are loaded into your arduino with the serial monitor; the array will be printed
                      on the serial monitor.
                    * Your arduino should slow-flash, indicating that it is in ready mode.
                    * There are multiple debug serial prints that can be monitored to assure that it is operating properly.
                    * ***THIS SHOULD NO LONGER BE NEEDED*** The standard MySensors library now works. https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads for the I2C library, or use yours

                    Tried your sketch as well as a few of my own adjustments, still getting
                    Yard_Sprinklers_revised_7-20.ino:85:18: fatal error: Time.h: No such file or directory.
                    At a loss of where I missed this in the library!
                    Rather be riding my scooter! got to get it done!

                      @Sergio-Rius you can change the reference in the display library files. Just remove the path to the wire.h library.

                      I'll try it.

                      @Ngwpower
                      Don't drop the towel. Just install the library from the libraries manager.

                                If you've done a new installation, perhaps you installed Mysensors libraries from the IDE lib manager. In that case you could have installed v2.0.
                                In the newer version the library has changed to Mysensors.h, please read the documentation carefully as this is not a minor upgrade:

                                        I am in the process of building this controller and in reading the comments here where some were asking about a master valve and how to control it. This is the concept that I am going to try with my setup.
                                        alt text
                                        I only have 4 zones to control, so with the 8 channel relay board that I have, I am going to use channel 8 as my pump start relay control. The idea is that when any one channel is on, the diodes will activate the master valve, but keep the signal from back-feeding into another relay channel.

                                        Hope that helps some people out there.

                                          So I figured I would share my progress with my version of this project. The majority of the build was done to the schematic from the build section of the site. The only changes I am making are eliminating the use of Q0 on the shift register, and wiring in diodes like I mentioned in my previous post to control my pump start relay using relay channel 8 when any zone is turned on. I may even add a connection for one more digital line for a pump only startup, but will have to see about the code mods to do that.

                                          One of my hurdles that I wanted to overcome was what kind of case I would be building this in. I searched on ebay a bit, but couldn't find what I wanted. I was digging through some old stuff one day and found an old composite video A/V switcher that I no longer use.
                                          A/V switcher front
                                          A/V switcher back
                                          Rather than recycling it, I figured, why not up-cycle it. The case was the perfect size for the 8 channel relay board. I even kept the back portion of the original circuit board to re-use the old DC in jack and build my regulator circuit on using an AMS1117 3.3v regulator. The output of the power board is Ground (black), +5V (red) and +3.3V (yellow).

                                          AMS1117 regulator
                                          I cut a slot in the front of the case to allow access to the relay connections.
                                          front cutout
                                          The connections came out just enough to allow access to the screw terminals. You can also see the mouning of the LCD, push button and status LED.
                                          screw terminals
                                          main board
                                          I designed the circuit board so that it could plug directly on top of the 8 channel relay board. Notice the header connector strip between the pro mini and the shift register. There is just enough room above the blue 3 input power connector to attach the FTDI cable for programming the pro mini. The last thing I need to add to the board is the 8 diodes to control the pump start relay which will be channel 8 on the relay board. Currently the code uses outputs Q0 thru Q7 of the shift register to control relays 1 thru 8. I will need to make a slight change to the code to use Q1 thru Q7 as the first 7 relays as it was easier to connect it that way to the header connector. I am eliminating the use of Q0 in the circuit.

                                          I am having a few issues with compiling the code to upload to the pro mini. It is telling me that it can't find the LiquidCrystal.h file, and I have the library in my arduino library folder. The folder has both the LiquidCrystal.h and LiquidCrystal_I2C.h files, so I am not sure what is up there. I hope to have it figured out soon so I can test the assembly.

                                          Thanks for reviewing.
