Ethernet gateway troubleshooting advice

[hek]

@niccodemi

Could you post serial monitor debug messages from gateway (maybe easiest when plugged into computer). Then restart a sensor to get some traffic.

[niccodemi]

@hek see below, I included relay node, tried several times, only 1 device added (node, no relay button)

Looks like the sends is failing.

@Anticimex told me he was investigating send-fails that evidently started when the updated RF24-with-SOFTSPI was introduced a couple of weeks ago.

Hmm... somehow this new version could be affecting this. If rolling back would mean you'd lose SOFT-SPI-option.

@Anticimex: Did you locate the problem?

[hek]

Something fishy is definitely going on: This is the log from a relay actuator I just hooked up.

send: 5-5-0-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=3,st=ok:1.4
read: 5-1-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=3:1.4
read: 5-1-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=3:1.4
read: 5-1-0 s=1,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=3:1.4

After the last send it finds messages (the last 3) which gateway not should have sent. Almost as the gateways hardware ack-messages is picked up by the sensor as regular messages.

You might wanna roll back until the root cause of the is found.

Pinging @TMRh20Projects here also.

This is the commit that is causing the problem: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/commit/2fd948fc6667460961194040bef635d25b4dfd8b

[hek]

I think I've found the problem and a patch has been check in to master branch. So @niccodemi download the latest and try again please.

@marceltrapman this might be related to some the problems you experiences earlier as well.

I would be really happy when my case is solved as well with this.
Do I have to reload gateway, repeater, sensor or all sketches?

[hek]

Yes, as it is related to acks both gateway and sensors is affected, But it does not solve the fetch-id-through-repeater problem we also discussed.
I really encourage people to update if they are running code from 10:th of september and after.

[Anticimex]

I have not yet had opportunity to dig. Is the problem already identified and solved?

[hek]

@Anticimex

Yes, I think it is solved. The problem was there even before the RF24 update but it didn't manifest itself as much.

[Anticimex]

@hek great. I'll verify tonight. I have a setup that easily reproduces the problem.

[hek]

I had to update master as it is a show-stopper-bug.

[Dan S.]

Since it is a change to Mysensor.cpp, then I assume all sketches are the same but every sketch that uses Mysensor.cpp (which is all sensors and the gateway) need to be compiled/uploaded again after downloading the new library?

[hek]

@Dan-S.

Yes, if you're running code fetched after Sep 10 (https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/commit/01a6adb1ccaee4f8546cab607f963dc1d6da4b43).

[Anticimex]

@hek Sorry to report that it does not resolve the ACK-issue. I still have the same phenomenon.

EDIT: Forgot to update GW as well. It works flawlessly :)

[Dan S.]

Gateway and sensors updated. Running fine.

[niccodemi]

@hek I tested with updated library and I can confirm that relay actuator and distance sensor work ok.

[karenbobiv]

I was able to get the GW up and added the temp sensors finally. Thanks for the help. :)

[Dan S.]

@karenbobiv Congratulations!!!

[p0lar]

so is there a 1.4.1 coming out? :)

[korttoma]

@p0lar The 1.4 version at github contains the updates. I guess the version number was not incremented.
I would also like to see version number change if the code changed so it would be possible to know what version you are actually on. There might be a few different 1.4 versions in use at the moment and this is not good when it comes to supporting people when they have problems.
