Not getting Node ID assigned



  • I have an 8MHz 3.3V Pro Mini Arduino with a NRF24l01 connected to a Olimex A10 (Debian Lime). I have set the Serial gateway to run at 57600 and also created a gateway in Fhem.
    /dev/ttyUSB0@57600 with auotocreate set to 1 and requestAck set to 1.
    I ran all the Fhem updates.
    I have a simple Battery Monitor Node with no Sensor IDs just the battery level. But I cannot see the battery level in the log.
    I only get this message:
    2016.02.11 10:51:53 3: MYSENSORS: ignoring internal-msg from unknown radioId 254, childId 255 for I_BATTERY_LEVEL
    Isn't Fhem supposed to Auto Add Nodes? What am I doing wrong?



  • I still can't work this out. If i turn on inclusion-mode on the serial gateway I always get NODE ID 254 assigned. And if I add a second node it shares the same node id and I end up with attributes for many sensor type all in the same node. It lways gets named MYSENSOR_254. Pulling my hair out for 5 days now... can anyone help?

    Did you try asking for help over at the FHEM forum?



  • I will try. I did Google searches but mostly answers are in German.

    @bigal

    Use MySensors v1.4.2 in your gateway? I only use Ethernet (W5100) gateway so I can't test, but MySensors v1.5 and later isn't supported by Fhem yet AFAIK.

    Tried static Node IDs?

    Post your fhem.cfg, or at least the relevant parts.



  • Aha! I thought it might have been a gateway issue. Yes of course I am running ver 1.5 so I will try v1.4.2 and report back how it goes!
    In the meantime here are my configs.
    I have loaded the UV node information into Fhem but it still will not recognize the node.

    Here is my Fhem config.

    Restart FHEM for a new check if the problem is fixed,\
    or set the global attribute motd to none to supress this message.\

    And a standard UV mysensor Arduino code (no mods).

    @bigal (Please indent your code by 4 spaces or 'tab', it will then show up in nice black boxes in your forum posts.)


  • Hardware Contributor

    @bigal Also, I think there can be issues with that particular UV-sensor sketch example. The gw.sleep() function stops timers and will make the millis() function hard to use.



  • Not concerned with bugs in the UV Sketch as I will make my own sketches once I get the controller to recognize the nodes.
    My plan is to adapt some code to make tank level sensors and an analog (not pulse based) kWh meter. Also planning to control some pumps, so those will be outputs.
    So should I use Arduino 1.4.2 for compiling code for Gateway and all the nodes, yes?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @bigal Only gateway. The nodes work fine on v1.5



  • I just compiled the Gateway in the 1.4.2 Mysensors bundle. I compiled a LUX node and a Pressure node, but still no luck, I always get the nodes showing up as Node 254 and overwriting each other.
    So seems my issue may not related to the Gateway Version.
