Repeater nood keeps looping... and doesnt reach gw.

sundberg84

Well, on the GW and Repeater i use a radio with long antenna... the other one is same batch normal nrf radio.

The log from domoticz or gateway is pretty much nothing/no unusual activity... :(
Atleast there is not multiple send from the GW and i dont see anything in MYSController either.

Next step is to try to rebuild the repeater to exclude hardware (as the radio...) and also blank new installation of domoticz.
I'll keep you posted...

-Clean domoticz install - only two nodes installed (Relay 103, Repeter 100 and GW) but same error.
-Changed radio but no effect (and i guess there should not since i have st=ok)

I notised that it loops also in the GW.

Logs:
Repeter (Same as above, loops until a st=fail or another/new info comes in

This affects my relays and my outdoor sensor (all powered with 5 volt usb chargers...) either there was some sort of thunderstorm killing them all at the same time or i dont know what... :( (all volts are within range though)

Power Issues i guess becuase now i cant read the serial-logs from the relays anymore... just wingdings letters... all i can see there is that it does not loop.

It happens when the gateway tries to send a new state to a node.

Also, I have a similar problem sending sketch name and version for some nodes:

@barduino I have tried new hardware on repeater and my next thought was to clean GW eeprom and reload scetch.
Im just guessing here - but maybe an old route stored in eeprom thats causing problem?
Since three people now report this - i guess its inside the code somewhere...

Its frustrating - all my sensors not using the repeater works fine... but my networks isnt much of a network without my repeater.

uandy

I am not sure, but may be it's problem of the new API version 1.5. Early I used 1.4, and all was ok.

sundberg84

Maybe I should try adding some log/debug lines in the lib files... @hek do you have any good start point/specific file that you think i should look in?

hek

Strange. Might be something not working as intended in 1.5. We should probably ping @celonunes who did the last couple of changes in the routing here.

uandy

I have reloaded my repeater node with Mysensors API 1.4.2. And all work fine! Now I use serial gateway (1.5) + repeater node (1.4.2) + sensors (1.5). And it works.

sundberg84

and i can also comfirm @uandy that this is working here as well.
Ethernet 1.4, Repeater 1.4.2 and Sensor 1.5

So the problem must be in the 1.5 repeater routing.

hek

Trying to re-create your setup here.

hek

@sundberg84 said:

send: 0-100-0-103 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:M

Seeing the same thing here.

Getting closer.. the repeater seems to pick up "0" incorrectly from its routing table. In your case it should be 103.

hek

Ok, with some help from @celonunes I think we found the problem.

It has been pushed to master.. just one little eeprom write that was missing. ;)

sundberg84

@hek and @celonunes GREAT job - thank you.
You have saved my homeautomation system :)

barduino

Thanks @hek!

Working fine now

Cheers

sundberg84

@hek Correct me if im wrong - but can this been a bug from 1.4?

I had 1.4 on another laptop, uploaded the repeaterscetch there... then my last relay (new and 1.5) didnt work (stupid me - i didnt check repeter log though) - bu I changed computer reuploaded the new 1.5 and the new relay worked.

Can be a good to know for people upgrading to 1.5 - if my finding is correct they should upgrade repeaters asap.

hek

Yes, this might very well be a bug in 1.4. But it could have been introduced late in 1.4 life as people have had repeaters working earlier.

sundberg84

Ok - tnx! :)

doblanch

Hello Team,

I think I fall into the same issue. My repeater goes into a loop (led is blinking continiously), and nothing is not longer working on the repeaterI changed everything (nano/NRF PA/LNA). NRF is powered externally, adding Cap also. Issue seems like to be the same. I can't connect full time in USB because my repeater is outside. Repeater stuck after between 1 day and 2 weeks.
I have a serial console on the sensor, and after a while, packet are sent st=ok, but packets doesn't reach the GW which work correctly...
I use library 1.5 for the repeater / node / GW (downloaded in august)... I don't understand the conclusion !!! What should I do, downgrade to 1.4 ??? what is the line code changed, to compare if I have the fix into my library already...

please advise, I'm working on this issue since 3 months without any finding...Should I clear the eeprom ?
Thanks a lot !

sundberg84

Hi @doblanch!
This issue was resolved in 1.5 and if you are using 1.5 you should do fine!
My repeaters use 1.5 and works great.

Repeater nood keeps looping... and doesnt reach gw.
