Can't Include MySensors node, not sure if Vera or MySensors problem



  • Setting: I have a VeraEdge (UI7) and an ethernet gateway. Gateway is working fine as far as I know, Vera sees it.

    I built a RGB LED node to control some analog LED strips. When I first started it up using the stock sketch from the Mysensors library, Vera found 2 devices, a repeater and a dimmer. But there should be 3 dimmers. Repeated includes didn't fix it.

    I added a 1 sec delay between the gw.present commands in the RGB sketch and changed the gw.begin from a fixed node number of 31 to auto. I then deleted the two devices from Vera, rebooted Vera and the ethernet gateway, and then tried to re-include the node. I'm getting nothing on the Vera.

    Since I've got the RGB node connected to my computer still, I pulled up the serial console and see every line with a st=fail status. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way I need to exclude the node beyond just deleting it from the Vera dashboard? The node does seem to still be trying to use ID 31.

    I even found a clear eeprom sketch on here in the debug section, did that, and still not working.

  • Solved!

    It was a hardware problem - I didn't put caps on the radio on the gateway or RGB node originally. I added them and the node added perfectly. I guess I got lucky originally that even the 2 devices appeared on the first try.
