Cobine working DHT22 and LDR with a RelayWithButtonActuator

Dick

DHT22 2x with LDR working node but I want the RelayWithButtonActuator integrate in it. Who can help me with that?

This is what I have and working but without the RelayWithButtonAcuator.

MySensor gw;
DHT* dht[2];
byte sensorPin[2] = {3, 4};
float lastTemp[2] = {0.0, 0.0};
float lastHum[2] = {0.0, 0.0};

boolean metric = true;
//MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM1, V_HUM);

void setup()
{
gw.begin();
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
dht[i] = new DHT;
dht[i]->setup(sensorPin[i]);
}

gw.sendSketchInfo("Humidity", "1.0");

gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM1, S_HUM);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM2, S_HUM);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP1, S_TEMP);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP1, S_TEMP);

metric = gw.getConfig().isMetric;
}

void loop()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
delay(dht[i]->getMinimumSamplingPeriod());
float temperature = dht[i]->getTemperature();
if (isnan(temperature))
{
Serial.print(F("Failed reading temperature from DHT"));
Serial.println(i);
}
else if (temperature != lastTemp[i])
{
lastTemp[i] = temperature;
if (!metric)
{

}
//gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, i));

I think you'll find https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2597/combining-mysensors-examples and https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/888/combining-sketches useful.

Dick

@mfalkvidd
Thankt you for the reply, I used the instructions already but After 1 week of testing all solutions and nothing worked, I ask for help. I know, I lerned a lot by experimenting but Now I want a solution so I can try to understand what went wrong, ha ha.

Dick

is somebody interested in challanging my problem?

@Dick please note: i did not test it on an actual node but this combination should work

@BartE
It works fine but the relay does not stay ON after changing the status from "0" to "1".
Another thing is that the light messuring part is missing, it was the the script I posted. I will try to get it implemented in yours. So If you know how to change the behaviour of the relay, I should appreciate it.

BartE

@Dick how does relay exactly response to the button?
If you press the button (and keep it down) is the relay turned on?
or is it switched on when you release the button again?
The button can be "reversed" connected (on = off and off - on)
You can play a bit with this line

if (debouncer.update() && debouncer.read() == HIGH) {

or

if (debouncer.update() && debouncer.read() == LOW) {

and how is the button wired? Does is connect to ground or to Vcc (5 volt) ?
This sketch requires connection to ground (with internal PULL-UP)

About the light measuring ?? i just did copy your example from the first post and copied the RelayWithSwitch example in it. (Please notice the message part of sending humidity and temperature are still commented out as in the posted sketch)

The part i did add my self is the timer stuff (so keeping the switched being probed while the DHT sensor is only probed twice a minute)

Cheers BartE

Dick

@BartE The button connect to gnd to switch. if connected to gnd the relay switch for a second and than again in rest, also if I keept the switch to gnd so it is momentory.

Also about the light sensor integration as stated in my last meassage, I was experimenting I only get an error BOLTED in my script "no matching function for call to 'MyMessage::MyMessage(int, mysensor_data, mysensor_data)'"

@Dick
Couple of remarks

This peice of code tries to declare the same variable twice (msg)

MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT);
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_LIGHT_LEVEL);

change to name to msgLight and msgLightLeven

MyMessage msgLight(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT);
MyMessage msgLightLevel(CHILD_ID_LIGHT, V_LIGHT_LEVEL);

You also have to changethis line:

gw.send(msg.set(state?false:true), true); // Send new state and request ack back

to this

gw.send(msgLight.set(state?false:true), true); // Send new state and request ack back

Also this line

gw.send(msg.set(lightLevel));

needs to be adapted to

gw.send(msgLightLevel.set(lightLevel));

And i think the last } needs to be removed
Oh and please use the code mark up function for posting source code
(by using the </> icon)

Dick

thank you Bart, I am learning with these adjustment, how things work together aso. I change the code as you mentioned and still getting verifying errors as included. I hope you can help me so I can finish this, for me not so easy project.

Is DEBUG enabled in MyConfig.h? If it isn't, you'll see nothing from MySensors on the serial monitor.
If you want your own serial prints to be visible, you need to run

Serial.begin(9600);

(or whatever speed you want to use in the Serial Monitor) inside setup().

You have commented out gw.begin. That means MySensors will not be started. If you don't want to handle incoming messages yet, you can use

gw.begin();

Dick

debug is enabled and I change gw.begin () and it worked, I see temp and two hum mesurements. But also my relay is uncontroling switching every secunds and the changing is not visible in the monitoring window. has that something to do with the
gw.begin(incomming
change?

mfalkvidd

Try commenting out

state = gw.loadState(CHILD_ID);

until you are ready to handle incoming messages.

Dick

I did what you suggested but no result. Perhaps I have to split-up the project into my initial plan (ldr, and 2x temp/Hum) and make another node for the relay because I do not know to solve the current issue.

Try to define BUTTON_PIN to a digital pin and see if it makes a difference.
Change the following in the setup

pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN, HIGH);

This is my sketch working on arduino+relay on my corner stand lamp and it is working fine on MySensors 1.5.4

// This code is basically the same as the default RelayWithButtonActuator sketch. The only difference is the pin numbering.

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Bounce2.h>

#define RELAY_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for relay 
#define BUTTON_PIN  4  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for button 
#define CHILD_ID 1   // Id of the sensor child
#define RELAY_ON 1
#define RELAY_OFF 0
#define NODE_ADDRESS 2

Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
int oldValue=0;
bool state;
MySensor gw;
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT);

void setup()  
{  
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ADDRESS, true);

  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Relay & Button", "1.0");

 // Setup the button
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,INPUT);
  // Activate internal pull-up
  digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,HIGH);
  
  // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
  debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN);
  debouncer.interval(5);

  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT);

  // Make sure relays are off when starting up
digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, RELAY_OFF);
  // Then set relay pins in output mode
  pinMode(RELAY_PIN, OUTPUT);   
      
  // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage) 
  state = gw.loadState(CHILD_ID);
  digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
}


/*
*  Example on how to asynchronously check for new messages from gw
*/
void loop() 
{
  gw.process();
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
  int value = debouncer.read();
  if (value != oldValue && value==0) {
      gw.send(msg.set(state?false:true), true); // Send new state and request ack back
  }
  oldValue = value;
} 
 
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
  if (message.isAck()) {
     Serial.println("This is an ack from gateway");
  }

  if (message.type == V_LIGHT) {
     // Change relay state
     state = message.getBool();
     digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
     // Store state in eeprom
     gw.saveState(CHILD_ID, state);
    
     // Write some debug info
     Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
     Serial.print(message.sensor);
     Serial.print(", New status: ");
     Serial.println(message.getBool());
   } 
}

thank you Alex, it did not work. It is strange, in my topic BartE posted a srcipt what workerd almost perfect. Relay change was good and saw it in the Serial minitor changing from 0 to 1. after adding the LDR stuff it went wrong. So it must be something in the LDR add-on. combining is still not easy for me but I am learning.

alexsh1

@Dick With sketches it is like this sometimes - troubleshooting is time consuming.
I would suggest the following. Try to comment out line by line on the LDR code, upload and see if it works. Try to insert as many Serial.print as you could to print the status of variables to the serial port.

I do not have the LDR so cannot help you much on this one. I have multiple other sketches combined together working just fine.
