Repeater node not recognizing sensors



  • I have two temperature sensors each with a specific node id (1 and 2).
    They connect fine to the gateway for testing close by.

    I have another node set in repeater mode with the sample arduino code, I'm using the latest 1.5 code base.
    I place the repeater node in another location away from the gateway along with both temperature sensor nodes. I can see the repeater in the gateway output, but do not see the temp nodes being sent from the repeater. The repeater id is 255. I was under the impression that the repeater node would automatically send the data from the sensor nodes.
    Why is this not working as I though it would????

    Thanks, Tony


  • Mod

    Id 255 is reserved, see "Starting up the library on http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15

    You'll have to use a lower number.

    The sensors will need 5 fails to search for a new parent so if your sensors send seldom they might need some time to re-configure.



  • Thanks, I thin that fixed the issue. I set the Repeater node ID to 100. The Arduino sketch has the ID set to AUTO which I think initially set the Repeater Node ID to 255.
