    Found it!

    "received command" not "received update"!

    rule "Light"
            when
                    Item lightBar01 received command
            then
                   if(receivedCommand == ON) {
                sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;1\n")
            }
            if(receivedCommand == OFF) {
               sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;0\n")
            }
    end

      Hi,
      @TimO finally I managed to add the dht 11 too and it works fine. Can you please tell me what to change in the rule file to add more buttons (same as this one that works)? I tried to change some parts of the light address but it doesn't work.
      I would like to add a normal button too (not like a switch) with a door symbol like door open or close for my exit door and to change its status from blue to red when you push the button.

      Thank you for the help you gave me by now!
      All the best!

        Hi All,

        Can anyone please tell me if I want to add a few more buttons (same as this one with relay with button actuator) what should i change in the Openhab rules and in the Arduino sketch too? can it be done as the relay actuator example ?

        #define RELAY_1  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)
        

        i mean first relay is connected to pin 3 and the next relay to pin 3+1=4, pin 4+1=5 and so on and the buttons pins to be alocated in the same way? is there any way to do it like this but for the relay with button actuator example?

        In the Openhab rules i tried to modify as i said above some of the addresses of the commands on or off from here:

        sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;1\n")
        

        except the last numbers which i understand are like 1 for ON and 0 for OFF but it didn't work.

        The last thing that i would like to add is related only to Openhab if ill get an answer or a suggestion to my ask here above is a normal button (not like a slider) to control an electrical strike through a relay so when pressed once door open for 5 seconds or more and than close again. I know that here are more to discuss because maybe the door its not gonna be psychically closed but the Openhab status could show that the door is closed but this can be solved with a magnetic contact (i think) that can be added so the Openhab rules should be made like so: if the magnetic contact is connected than the door is closed and locked, else the door is open / unlocked even the electrical strike is closed until the magnetic contact will be connected! or to close the electrical strike only after the magnetic contact is closed.
        OH too much talking, I know this is maybe too much for me but theoretical speaking I know how to make it and I think i know how to set up the connection but physically is impossible because of missing knowledge in programming Arduino or Openhab!

        Lets take it one by one: Can anyone help me with first part of my request, how to add a few more buttons same as the only one working now?

        Thanks all

          People i see that this post was seen by more than 2k times but nobody is answering! How is this possible? Nobody knows how to do it or everybody enjoy watching a noob asking for help? Common people at least off topic let's say hi each other!

            Hey @ewgor, tone it down a bit. You won't get any answers by acting aggressive.

            It could be as simple as no-one has the the answer and you got to find a solution yourself.

              @hek thanks for the answer. At least now i know i'm not alone :). Anyhow as far as i've seen by now only @TimO was the only one who answered me and gave me some info. It is possible that non of the heros, admins or other kind of this forum members to have a suggestion for me?
              Sorry if i was aggressive again!

              Good help :)

                Well, the short answer for this is yes. It depends on your sketch. The loop with pin+1 is just a short notation.

                I would suggest to start with the simple sketch with one button here: http://www.mysensors.org/build/binary

                Give the node a static id, change items, rules and sitemap in OH.

                You have to change V_TRIPPED to V_LIGHT:

                // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
                MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_TRIPPED);
                

                So the OH rule with V_LIGHT will match and the item state is changed, when the button is pressed.

                  Oh TimO i thought i'll never see you again here :) thanks for the answer.
                  I'm using the RelayWithButtonActuator example on which i added the humidity and temperature part and its working well. I choose this example because in this way i can get in real time the light status in Openhab even the light is turned ON / OFF from physical button on the breadboard or from the Openhab button.
                  The Openhab rules are already made with the V_LIGHT command not the V_TRIPPED.

                  I cant figure out what to add in the Arduino sketch to add more relays and more buttons and to make it work in the setup or loop functions. Than, on the Openhab rules i tried to copy the only light rule i have right now and to change some of the numbers in the

                  sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;1\n") 
                  

                  but its not working :(

                  If i'll get at least 5 buttons and 5 relays working in this way it would be perfect.

                  Looking for any answer.

                      Well, there are many approaches and I would go the easiest (but not the most elegant) way.

                      Double everything for every additional button / relay. If that works for two/three buttons/relays use arrays (like in the relay example sketch).

                      #include <MySensor.h>
                      #include <SPI.h>
                      #include <Bounce2.h>
                      
                      #define RELAY_PIN  4  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for relay 
                      #define RELAY_PIN2 5 ######## ADD THAT ######
                      #define BUTTON_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for button 
                      #define BUTTON_PIN2 6 ######## ADD THAT ######
                      #define CHILD_ID 1   // Id of the sensor child
                      #define CHILD_ID2 2 ######## ADD THAT ######
                      #define RELAY_ON 1
                      #define RELAY_OFF 0
                      
                      Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
                      Bounce debouncer2 = Bounce(); ######## ADD THAT ######
                      int oldValue=0;

                        // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
                        gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay & Button", "1.0");

                           Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
                           Serial.print(message.sensor);
                           Serial.print(", New status: ");
                           Serial.println(message.getBool());
                         } 
                      }
                      

                      The code is not tested nor compiled, but I hope you'll get the idea of how to add a button and a relay.

                      Of course this could be done much more elegant with arrays, that could be your next step.

                        Wow! thanks for your time to fill this sketch! appreciate that.

                        I tried your sketch and after cleaning some small mistakes i got these errors and i don't know how to lose them.
                        this is how the sketch looks:

                        and those are the errors:

                        
                        sketch_sep09a.ino:81:3: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if'

                        About the OH rules i made them like this:

                        rule "Light"
                                when
                                        Item lightBar02 received command
                                then
                                       if(receivedCommand == ON) {
                                    sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;1\n")
                                }
                                if(receivedCommand == OFF) {
                                   sendCommand(Arduino, "101;1;1;0;2;0\n")
                                }
                        end
                        

                        what do you think? do i still need to modify something?

                        Thank you a lot!:pray:

                          There is a copy & paste error. Remove the bracket after "oldValue = value;" :)

                          The OH rule looks good.

                            @TimO still doesnt want to compile :(
                            this is the last error:

                            sketch_sep10b.ino:81:3: error: expected unqualified-id before 'if'
                            Error compiling.
                            
                            

                            Thanks!

                              You have a closing bracelet ({) too much that's ending your loop() method. I corrected it and added a comment so you can see what's been causing the problem.

                                You have a closing bracelet ({) too much that's ending your loop() method. I corrected it and added a comment so you can see what's been causing the problem.

                                Good luck with it.

                                b.t.w. I have no knowledge of openHab.

                                  Guys, i tried this sketch above and now it can be uploaded but its not working well.
                                  The system reacts like this: the first button ( old one) turns the led on / off on the breadboard but its not refreshing the OH button on the webpage and i get some i get some WARN on the server like this:

                                  I don't understand why i get so many things on the server pressing once on and once off!
                                  The second button is completely dead, it doesn't do anything on the breadboard or on the web.
                                  I think the Arduino sketch has some bugs somewhere even it can be compiled. Maybe something inside is wrong or maybe this is not the right way to multiply relays and buttons.
                                  Please see bellow my OH settings.

                                  PS: I forgot to say that i added in the Arduino sketch the address of the node point:

                                  #define NODE_ID 101

                                    Hey guys, i found the solution here array-relay-button-actuator but now the OH part comes 'couse this is different solution. How can i add CHILD_ ID's in this case to create more buttons in OH? i mean how to make difference between the two relays in OH?

                                    Can somebody please help me? This is what i was looking for.

                                    Thanks :scream:
