💬 Sensebender Gateway

[alexsh1]

@tbowmo Thanks - I am assuming that I have a faulty W5100 shield in this case. Unfortunately, I have received a wrong replacement shield enc28j60 instead of W5100. Do you know if Sensebender GW would work with

#define MY_GATEWAY_ENC28J60

The one I have does not have AMS1117-3.3 on board and must be fed with 3.3V instead of 5v

[alexsh1]

@tbowmo The problem has been identified. I have used a hot fan to re-sit W5100 on the network shield.

Still cannot ping it, which means there is still a problem with the shield.
It is of a poor quality and does have multiple bridges around W5100 like this:

I found a similar problem here:
https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/156147/are-solder-bridges-on-chips-always-bad

At least I know where the problem is.
Thanks @tbowmo

@alexsh1

Great, that we found the problem, and thanks for reporting back here on the forum :)

I haven't tried with other ethernet controllers, than the W5100, And the socket for W5100 is supplied with 5V directly.

Also, I do not know if they are pin compatible?

[alexsh1]

@tbowmo I think they are pin compatible but unfortunately take different voltage. On arduino board, somebody told me that enc28j60 can tolerate 5V. It seems to be the case, as mine survived w5100 socket

EDIT: From the enc28j60 datasheet

• Operating Voltage of 3.1V to 3.6V (3.3V typical)
• 5V Tolerant Input

[alexsh1]

@tbowmo I can confirm now that everything is working fine after I tested the Sensebender GW with the third (yes, third!!!) shield. Thanks Thomas for your help!

[alexsh1]

@tbowmo The pinout is identical.

W5100

ENC28J60

I can modify ENC28J60 shield (reduce voltage to 3.3V) and test it with the sensebender GW, but it does require hardware mod

Question,
"To use the serial port in the mysx connector, you should use Serial1 in your sketches, as the default Serial is connected to the USB serial device"

What pins is the serial port in the mysx connector, I see no mention of it other than that line. I want to mirror the serial data sent to my controller via the USB port to the the serial port in the mysx connector that will then be attached to a bluetooth SPP device. Just want another way to view the radio traffic.

[tbowmo]

@nitroburn

Have you seen the documentation for MysX connector: https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/mysx?

(hint, look for Data To Module, and Data From Module :))

[Anticimex]

@tbowmo @nitroburn
Actually, it is even more clearly specified than that as DTM and DFM means Data To MCU and Data From MCU. "module" is not explicitly defining what "side" you mean. The MCU is clearly defined so DTM and DFM leavs no doubt on the direction and function of the pin.

[nitroburn]

@tbowmo @Anticimex Thanks, I was stupidly searching for the wrong combination of terms and hadn't seen DTM DFM used so I was naively looking for the word serial or UART rather than USART when I did a search. Thought I was missing something and didn't read the mysx page close enough after briefly searching it.

Thanks for clearing that up. #define MYSX_D1_DFM (00ul) & #define MYSX_D2_DTM (01ul) didn't stand out to me as serial connections.

@scalz Can somebody edit the descriptive text for this Gateway. Under 'Secure IiT Radio Network' is quoted 'Hope RF RFM69HCW' whereas under 'Setup and use' is correctly quoted RFM69(H)W.
Guess who had ordered the incorrect 'CW' module for this Gateway....

[tbowmo]

@zboblamont

Sorry about that, it sneaked through the reviews.. I have updated the page, so others don't fall into the same pitfall..

[magpern]

Is it really correct that orange, green and red led should light constantly when powered on. On some activity from the sensors the leds blink, but goes to full constant light directly.

An other thing, inclusion button. In sketch this is commented out, should it?

// Digital pin used for inclusion mode button
//#define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_BUTTON_PIN  3

For me it is like GW is in constant inclusion mode. Gateway seams to work, it shows up in controller, and as soon as a sensor is powered up, it automatically also appears in controller... feels very unsecure. Just give power to a random sensor and it is in my controller.

@Magnus-Pernemark

You can reverse the led behaviour by defining:

#define MY_WITH_LEDS_BLINKING_INVERSE

Presentation messages is always forwarded to controller. Inclusion mode must be implemented/supported by the controller for it to work.

[magpern]

@hek Thanks, I'll try that. The controller is Domoticz. Does Domoticz have a flaw when it comes to inclusion? (I guess it must have, since any random sensor gets included automatically).

[Anticimex]

@Magnus-Pernemark I am not sure domoticz support inclusion at all.

[alexsh1]

@Magnus-Pernemark inclusion mode is not for Domoticz but for Vera. For Domoticz if you want to secure your sensors you need to use signing between the sensors and the GW and reject any sensor without signing

[magpern]

@alexsh1 Feels like this could be changed, so inclusion also would work for domoticz. A also have a z-wave module hooked up to domoticz and for the z-wave there is inclusion. Just have to find the right person for it :)

Yes the signing. I have tried. I want everything on the mysensors network to use signing, I have enabled the MY_SIGNING_ATSHA204, all sensors have the same keys in the chip. Is it using the signing if I have done this? I will try and hook up a sensor without the correct keys and see what happens. Just have to solder it first.

[Anticimex]

@Magnus-Pernemark there is quite extensive documentation on how to use signing. I presume you have read it? It's on the homepage (and the forum). You need to enable a signing backend and you need to enable requirement for signatures if your node is to require it (signing does not have to go both ways).
So no, if you have only personalized your atsha devices and enabled the atsha backend, it does not mean signing is enabled unless you on at least one node or gw have enabled MY_SIGNING_REQUEST_SIGNARURES.

[magpern]

@Anticimex Thanks. Yes I have read it and read it and read it... doesn't mean I understand it or know what to do, unfortunately. At this point I am only using the standard examples, the standard GWserial and standard sensebender micro sketch. Without modifications, except for the MY_SIGNING_ATSHA204.
It is so much to go through.
