💬 Air Humidity Sensor - DHT

[gohan]

The is the log parser on the mysensors site. Anyway that means you didn't set a node ID on your node and it is asking for one but there is no controller providing one.

I have some problem...

did you read this?

[scottdube]

@gohan Thank you I was able to resolve that issue and get it communication with the gateway, the vera and now mqtt. Thanks again!

[joaoabs]

For the ones looking for a library that makes this DHT sketch work, mysensors have compiled a set of libraries that include this DHT.h and many others. Just go to https://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#optional---install-external-mysensors-examples (yes, the name is not intuitive, maybe the keyword library would make it more obvious?), or jump directly to here and follow the standard library instructions. It took me two hours to find this, hope it saves time for future followers of mysensors like myself.

Good luck!

[joaoabs]

Here is the set of libraries where you can find the DHT.h: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/archive/master.zip

[Pavel Polititsky]

If I use this string in a code "sleep(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod());" DHT22 (AM2320) always read NaN
else DHT22 working, but never sleeping
What im doing wrong?

[joaoabs]

Where are you reading this "NaN"?
I sometimes also have it in my OpenHab controller webpage when the node doesn't communicate for a while... But when it does, it changes to the value it read from the sensor.

Try to see in the GW if there is traffic comming from that node. Usualy you can read there the values.

Good luck!

[Pavel Polititsky]

In a serial debug of the sensor module
It write something like "Failed to read data humidity (temperature)
Also no send any data to gateway

Without getMinimumSamplingPeriod I've receiving hum & temp through gateway

[gohan]

DHT sensor is not very fast, it needs some times between initialization and the different readings

[Maschler]

Hi
this program doesn’t work with my setup. For the Gateway I am using a Ardunio nano as a serial Gateway. Thus, I am using the GatewaySerial.ino. Even the Node is based on an Arduino nano with a DHT22 connected. The general communication between both seems to work. But I do not receive any sensor data. When testing the setup with another library for the dht sensor, it works fine (without sending to the gateway, only serial Monitor). Because I am new in the mysensors community there is perhaps a simple mistake which I don’t see… I hope you can help me finding my mistake.
Here is a short extract of the Debugging Information’s. As far as I see there are no data transferred.

Hi!
What controller are you using?
From the logs it seems that the sensor is asking for an ID but does not get any.
Node ID is handed out by the controller. Or else you have to set the node ID in the sketch. What does the sketch look like?

[Maschler]

Hi
thanks for reply. I am using this sketch: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/examples/GatewaySerial/GatewaySerial.ino
The only thing I changed is the radio type and I disabled the inclusion mode.

[bgunnarb]

Yes but the issue is with the sensor node. What sketch are you using there?

[Maschler]

Oh. I am using the sketch in from above and only changed the radio module.

[Maschler]

@bgunnarb
You are right. I had to define a sensor id and now it works perfectly :) Thank you very much!

[roachgf85]

Note: Double check your DHT11 module! The pinouts of the PCB of my DHT11 module differed from those in this article. My leftmost pin was Data out, the middle pin was VCC and the right was GND.

[cnerone]

Hi all,
I recoded this sketch and I posted on GitHub (1 year ago, and I updated it today). It runs good from 1 year with no issues.
I don't know why it's still not merged in master branch. I forgot to do some action??
Can anyone help me? please.
Meanwhile you can download and use it; this is its link:
https://github.com/cnerone/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/master/examples/DhtTemperatureAndHumiditySensor/DhtTemperatureAndHumiditySensor.ino

[mfalkvidd]

@cnerone no you did 't forget anything. It is just that the external examples don't get much attention and are a bit truoublesome (due to the need of handling third party libraries).

[rmalbers]

I used the code that cnerone has in his comment below with a nano and DHT22 and it worked great. For my nano I did have to use the 'old' bootloader for the program to download into the nano correctly with the arduino IDE. The code in the example here wouldn't compile for me, I think because someone changed the DHT library but for some reason kept the name the same so I ran into some kind of conflicts with variables. I wish when people modified libraries they would give them new/different names because the IDE does not have a good way of handling multiple libraries with the same name. BTW: That is not a MySensors issue, it's the IDE.
