💬 MySensor Dioder (Ikea)

[pentti12]

Hi

I changed my Arduino IDE 1.6.11 using the MySensors development library v2.1.0-beta. Now the compiling went OK. I will continue with that. It will take few days before I have more info about how things went with actual hardware.

[pentti12]

I tested this latest sketch in my actual hardware (Arduino Mega + Proto shield with additionla components + Ikea Dioder control board). I cannot get system working, nothing happens when I press UP, DOWN buttons. Led-lights stay ON after power up.
I also tested to compile your sketch with Arduino IDE and MySensors Library V2.0.0. Compiling went OK, no progress with actual hardware.

How can I test step by step what is happening during startup?

@pentti12 ,
add the line

#define MY_DEBUG

at the begging of the sketch so via Serial Monitor you'll be able to see the messages pushed by the commands println. You can add other println commands in other point to see the steps covered.

[pentti12]

OK, I added the line and now I get:

So I have to check my radio-module or replace it with new one. I will continue ...

[mortommy]

ok, something is definitely wrong with the radio module. Can you check the connection according to this page?

[pentti12]

I changed my Radio-module to new one. Does not help. So I have to check my wiring on prototype board.

[pentti12]

Wiring was OK, but 10uF elko is missing from the 3.3V supply. I have only 440nF capasitor at the moment. This seems to be too small value. I will have 10uF elko on next monday available. So project will take a break.

[pentti12]

I added 10uF capasitor between VCC and GND pins of the radio module. I also added #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RF24 line into sketch. I got the following response:

RF24:power down

I have changed the radio module to new one without success. So there must be some other reason why this sketch does not work in my hardware. Any ideas?

[mortommy]

Which module are you using? if it is NRF24L01+ be sure it is the "plus" version.

[pentti12]

At least I have ordered nRF24L01+ versions. And I use them on other MySensors node and they are working OK.

[pentti12]

Update:

I changed Arduino Board from Arduino Mega R3 to Arduino UNO board. I placed my protoshield above UNO-board and now I got following response:

Now sketch seems to work. I will continue by adding IKEA DIODER Leds. More info later.

[pentti12]

Update:

I can control locally the IKEA DIODER now. So the hardware is more or less working as expected, but do you have good instructions how I can get OpenHAB2 and MySensors Ethernet Gateway working together. Today I can see MySensors Ethernet Gateway ONLINE state and I can manually add Custom Sensor as a thing, but I cannot control items via Openhab.

I use the latest OH2 Snapshot ( on Pine64 with Debian Jessie) and latest MySensors GatewayW5100 (library 2.0) on the MySensors Gateway (Arduino UNO based) and I have tried to start/stop/restart OH2 after MySensors Gateway is up and running without success.

OH2 is capable to control for example Philips HUE lights without problems at the moment.

[mortommy]

Great news!

Regarding OH, I didn't have the opportunity to play with the v2.0 yet, I'm still on 1.8.1.
I have a serial mysensors gateway and this is my set up:

OH (v1.8.1) <-> OH MQTT binding (as MQTT client) <-> Mosquitto (as MQTT server) <-> mosquitto to serial (python script that reverts messages with topic mysensors to the serial port and vice-versa) <-> serial gateway.

So my items in OH are based on mqtt binding.

I guess OH2 and mysensors openhab binding make everything easier.

[pentti12]

Do you have interest to try OH2 together with MySensors Ethernet Gateway to get working?

I do not have enough force to push developers to make this happen. At the moment there is some problem on this, because full control is not possible. I think that MySensors Serial Gateway is working with OH2, but I don't like to use it. I like to connect my devices into LAN not cabling via old fashioned way using serial wires.
