Relay Sketch (1.6dev ) failed messages cause relay to activate.
-
I'm wondering if anyone can reproduce this.
Using the Relay actuator sketch as a base, im adding a switch ( so as to make a garage door opener/monitor) - i have this all working, except for when i encounter a failed transmission, the relay activates!
Here is a sketch with minimal modifications from the example RelayActuator sketch - in effect all ive added to it, is to send some packets frequently, in order to generate some fail messages.: ( im running it on a rBoard -mini )

I know its not going through the void recieve function, as there are no prints due to 'Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");'
It also occurs at the intialisation phase, when the sketchname/version is sent.

I will setup another arduino and relay to see if its hardware specific, but id be surprised if it was!
Cheers,

I have been able to reproduce it on a another arduino and relay. ( nano IO shield + relay board )
but... if i move the relay from D4 to D8 there is no issue! Failed messages do not cause the relay to activate.
Could the radio be somehow driving D4 ??

Ive been digging, and in MyConfig.h i see this:
// The Error LED default pin #ifndef MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN #if defined(ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP8266) #define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 7 #else #define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 4 #endif #endifCould this be the cause?
and if so shouldnt it be disabled by default due to line 141,
//#define MY_LEDS_BLINKING_FEATURE?

Hi!
Have a look here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2749/1-6-gateway-possible-error/11
Maybe something to do with this? -
Yeah -right on! In my sketch ive set them to use unused analogue pins
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN A0
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN A1
#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN A2...problem went away. ;-)
