Some clarification on Presentation, Set, Req et al

NotTooTechy last edited by

Probably a stupid thing, but I am trying to work out the correlation between "presentation" and "set req"

I understand the Presentation is a notification of sorts to the main system, but am unsure what I should be using and why for both "Presentation," and "set req" options.

So, here's what I have in the house, two systems, one for heating (240v baseboard), one for cooling (swamp cooler)
I have DHT-11 sensor in the lounge with NRF24L back to master.
I have a two-relay board at the mains box for the 240v baseboard supply with NRF24L back to master.
I have a three-relay board at the swamp for Low, High and Pump with NRF24L back to master.

What do I Present and what do I use for a "Set" command for the heating and/or cooling? There doesn't seem to be a Presentation type for "Relay" and no "Set" option for "On" and "Off."

Could someone please give me some examples of what and how to assign those combinations?

I am a Mechanical Engineer and Programmer used to seeing things in logical sequence and order, but this what-goes-with-what is a mystery to me.

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

@OldSurferDude Thanks a very valued to know. I was wondering today why my (big) powerbanks fall down after short time. I have small 1 & 2-pieces powerbanks, they work very well. I use also BSM hw-168 or hw-107 for charging single 18650. Will try to use them outside also with small solarpanels.
No merge into master in the last 5 years, should we use development?

For me almost all I need is in Master. For some nice to haves I have some custom libraries, like a message and a presentation queue. The only wish I have is dual led support.

@OldSurferDude My old 2.0 setup is with nRF24L01 radios. This is a link to the thread on some light switches that I designed and built. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7376/us-decora-wall-switch-continued/2 I am aware that you cannot have two MQTT gatways. When I designed my old setup I was not that familiar with MQTT so I never ended up implementing it. On the home assistant server that I have set up though, I have installed the MQTT broker on there so I should be able to comunicate with any MySensors stuff over MQTT in the future devices I make/set up. As I mentioned, I do have a Home Assistant box that I have started about 4 months ago and eventually want to migrate my Vera equipment to the HA box. As for the YAML and Python, I'll muddle my way through. used to program in PHP and have done enough on Arduino that I'm sure it won't hurt my brain too much.

@eiten Ran into the same error but of course the community is always at hand, ready to help! Great! I'm using MySensors 2.3.2 release version. Downgrading the ESP8266 board library to 2.7.4 as suggested by @OldSurferDude did the trick. I'm still clinging to MySensors. So simple and inexpensive to use! All sensors and other stuff connects over three MQTT GW in three locations back to my Home Assistant. PS: Get well soon! Regards, Gunnar
