@tortoisedoc The solution then would be build one with a crystal, or keep on using the lower speed. I personally had no problems with data running at 57k

@John I will definietly keep the 57 K ; it should be enough as the data transfered is minimal. I plan to add another 5 sensors at least, but I believe it should be ok.

Hello John

When I try to save a trigger I am getting this error:

Message:

Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks!

Hi John,

I'm trying to create a custom device that sends RF codes to a RF433 Mhz node, but I can't seem to send the additional fields I added to the device.

The additional fields:

Am I trying something here that is simply not possible?

I want to add that device over and over with different House- and Device Codes:

So in the end i need to send 4;3;1;0;2;3A1 to turn a light on at Housecode 3 and Devicecode A (and 1 is turn on, 0 is turn off)
Is this currently possible?

Many thanks and keep up the good work, really love PiDome.

@ricardot
Hard to see from only the stack trace. Is it possible that you send me a screenshot of how you setup the trigger and send this to support@pidome.org? The trigger system has become quite mature, so the message you have posted should not occur in any case. Need to take a close look into it.

Hi eric,

try to set the on command to 3A1 and the off command to 3A0 in the V_LIGHT toggle control. I know this is not what you want because this means you have to create a device for every address. And with flexible addresses you want to use the options so users can enter them.

You are using the device editor the correct way, it currently only is not implemented yet. There is a task on my to-do list to take a look on how common fields for controls can use the options created in the editor.

You know what, send an email to support@pidome.org with some of your device details, and I will come up with something. (If the programming API was ready i could have given some guidelines, but unfortunately it is not yet).

P.S. it is 00:46 here, so expect an answer tomorrow ;).

[ricardot]

I also Install the android client, but I can't make it works. I receive a login error: Could not connect/login: Authentication needs to be verified (202)

But the client never ask me for a username and password.

[John]

@ricardot Is not needed. On the server create an user. Then connect with the client to the server. On the page Connected clients you will see your android device. Click on it, select the user you just created and confirm your selection. The android client receives the confirmation and will continu starting. This device is now bound to this user.

Hi John,

Happy Xmas and enjoying the new updates.

I can't seem to get the 'Send data to an url' tab to work in automation anymore. Is this a bug or do I need to change the way it functions (it was working in an earlier version with the same settings).

Jon

[John]

@jonnyfishman Thnx! Hope you enjoyed Christmas as much as i did.

There has been some streamlining done of code. This is the second report and i'm currently looking into it.

If possible, Stop the server and start it with "./server.sh trace". Keep it running for a couple of minutes (so it can do a couple of http send commands). then go to "Server settings" in the web interface and turn of debug logging (bot trace and debug are turned of with this). Send me the file "logs/system/appLog.txt" to support@pidome.org with a reference to this post.

Cheers,
John.

[EDIT]The other reported issue was a timeout on the remote host. Please take a look in the log file if this is also the case for you[/edit]

John,

I would like to know what I need to do to create a rule to turn on an off a mysensors relay in a specific time of the day. And also If is possible Pidome to send me a email when it happens.

Thanks!

[John]

@ricardot At the automation rules create a new rule:

• At the left side you can select rules logic and select an if block. put this on the field
• Click on Time/Date/Dayparts on the left and select the block when time is, and fill in the time.
• Click on devices on the left and select your MySensors device and choose the action.
• Give your rule a name and description.

Currently there is no option to send an email but there are messaging (which send messages to clients, pushbullet and sms. Email will follow asap.

P.S. Note to all: Will be on leave until the 5th of januari next year (sounds long...). There will be support but this is at a minimal level.

[jonnyfishman]

Hi John,

Checked the appLog.txt and the request was going through (it received a HTTP 200 code). The problem was the automation rule. It was no longer happy with having a variable as a parameter, I had to change it back to a string for it to work [examples below]?
**ricardot **- This might also work for you. I'm using the 'URL hits' under 'miscellaneous' to email myself using the code below. Essentially it sends out a form to a waiting page on my website that automatically emails me when it receives the correct data, using the PHP mail function.

This works.

This doesn't

[John]

@jonnyfishman
Sorry for the late response, the holidays consumed us all quite a lot, and i'm still on a sort of holiday leave, Could you send me the log, i'm interested in why the variable is not handled.

Cheer,
John.

P.S. Happy new year!

[jonnyfishman]

Happy new year to you,

I've attached the appLog. Relevant lines appear to be 2495 and 1555.
I recreated the error several times to make it show up. At 2495 the variable is listed as null, whereas at 1555 the variable is passing what it should.

appLog.txt

Thanks,
Jon

[John]

@jonnyfishman Currently i'm not in the position to check it. I'm back at 5th of January. I will pick it up that day.

[John]

@jonnyfishman

I have updated the latest build on the build server. It looked like that the fallback (create a string type variable) did not set the variable value. This should now be fixed.

Cheers!

[John]

We now have a forum available, so if you have questions which are not related to MySensors these can be posted over there. This way this forum can be kept clean and dedicated to mysensors ;).

Cheers!

@John I am new to all of this. I am an Arduino programmer. but this is a first to communicate with a controller. Is there a simple "ping/pong" example. where a device is created in PiDome that is a basic switch or trigger that then just sends a message to an Arduino. and then the Arduino sketch sends back a known value that we can then review in PiDome?

[John]

@dafoink
Communication with a plain Arduino using USB it currently needs to be programmed in the server. Methods to do things like ping/pong will be eventually possible using the web interface.
