@freedomotic Good morning and thanks to all for the hard work you put in.

I went to Domotic website - downloaded the zip files , all fine but when trying to load the Mysensors plugin it was unavailable!!
I'm just starting with win 7 but will upgrade to pi when I get a bit of experience.
Any idea whrn the plugin will be available?

thanks

Hi @BobC
we are working on the plugin but we need some testers. Nobody is helping us now. Did you try the post attached zip file? If you want we can collaborate. Thanks

[freedomotic]

We are very glad to announce that Freedomotic is on Canonical Ubuntu Snappy Official Page ("Our Partners" section). A great result for our efforts!

Hi, what about the mysensor plugin? I would like to try the freedomotic frontend with raspberrypi as a (serial)gateway. Are there any tutorials about?
thanks

[freedomotic]

Hi Roberto
thanks for your interest. The plugin is in stand-by because I don't have any hardware for tests. I asked some help on this forum with no success. If you want we can collaborate. I tried a first draft using a fake serial connection on Windows. Let me know your idea with Raspi. Bye

Hi @Roberto-Brunialti
are you still interested?

[Roberto Brunialti]

Yes, I' am. Still to understand the needs in terms of sensors, gw and so on...
Never used before mysensor, but i've got 4 sensordend boards.
I should be able to setup a gw with nrf+ in a raspberry 2.

Hi, Freedomotic!
I'm too interesting in testing hardware (sensors & rellays) with MySensor Plugin on Pi B+. Do You need one more tester?

[freedomotic]

Of course @virgus1970 , I need all possible testers.
I'm updating the plugin to start testing. For now you can install Freedomotic on your raspberry and try it. The plugin works with the upcoming version 5.6 you can download from http://teamcity.codebetter.com/guestAuth/repository/download/bt1177/.lastSuccessful/freedomotic-5.6.0-{build.number}.zip

[virgus1970]

Ok. I'm going to start next week & will keep You up to date

[freedomotic]

Hi, in attachment the new development version. You need to download freedomotic from the previous link (teamcity), extract the plugin zip to freedomotic_root/plugins/devices folder and then modify your serial port name in mysensors-manifest.xml.
Start Freedomotic and double click on Mysensors icon.

When you say you dont have hardware for testing, what do you mean?

Do you have ate least 2 Arduinos?

Im working on a way to simulate sensors, still alpha and not tested (im travelling) but so far it should be capable of simulating 12 sensors.

Would this work for you?

[freedomotic]

@barduino
Now I have only an Arduino Uno and no radio transceiver and sensors.
I made some tests sending "fake" serial protocol strings via software.

[freedomotic]

@barduino
any news about your simulator?
Thanks

[barduino]

@freedomotic
Actually yes.

I did a major refactor recently (here) and in a last minute update it ended up on the development branch of the 1.5 library, here

This is intented to be used with at least 2 arduinos, a normal gateway and a fake sensors arduino mocking signals. It should support all the 24 sensors from lib 1.4.1.

Not sure how you could take this and adapt to your situation since i'm using the MySensors library and it wont run without the radios.

Cheers

@barduino
My plugin is based on serial protocol so I need to generate some "serial" strings as the gateway does. Now I'm using a serial data port emulator to write manually these strings. If I read your fake frames from serial (without using a gateway) maybe I could solve the problem

The MySensors project could perhaps support you by donating a couple of radios and arduino boards so you can make the necessary tests properly. Please contact me.

Hi @hek
thanks for your offer.
