💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor

gohan

given the low price, I think it is not worth the extra work to "mod" the normal reed switches :D

alowhum

I'd like to go even simpler:

Window is closed - magnet pulls reed switch so that no power flows to the NRF5.
Window is opened - The NRF5 now gets power, boots, connects to the MySensors network, and sends a "window is open" message every 10 minutes.
Window is closed again - NRF5 loses power.

Seems to me that this would be quite energy efficient?

Perhaps build it into this case:

(runs on 2 AAA batteries)

@alowhum
I would say this technique is efficient depending on the usecase.
For example, for basic ambiant sensors not needing any security why not. On other side, for main doors which could benefit security, I prefer to use hearbeat with less interval time, so it's possible to know if the sensor is offline. else controller wouldn't know this if the sensor only update when door state change.

alowhum

Totally true.

I was wondering what the state of Attiny85 support is. For absolute beginners (in workshops) it might be easier to connect the radio to a digispark.

// cancel that. It could never support encryption.

I have some troubles with this device.
Sometimes it does not respond to the first click, sometimes it remains switched on after first click until second click

When I press the button once - I see the LED on my gateway blinks always 3 times
1 RX TX
2 RX ERR
3 RX ERR

Device powered with CR2032 and running on 1Mhz@1.8V (internal clock)
Button input pulled to GND with resistor 47K and waking up if VCC connected through the button
Also have a 10uF tantal capacitor on power supply pins +several 0,1uF ceramic capacitors

Actually I dont know how to debug/log my gateway messages on Linux

Node code:



// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
//#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
//#define MY_RADIO_NRF5_ESB
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM95
#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_HIGH

#include <MySensors.h>

#define SKETCH_NAME "Door button"
#define SKETCH_MAJOR_VER "1"
#define SKETCH_MINOR_VER "0"

#define PRIMARY_CHILD_ID 3
#define PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN 2   // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch
//#define BATTERY_SENSE_PIN A6  // select the input pin for the battery sense point
int oldBatteryPcnt = 0;

// Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
MyMessage msg(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);

void setup()
{
  // Setup the buttons
  pinMode(PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
  //	pinMode(SECONDARY_BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);

}

void presentation()
{
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_MAJOR_VER "." SKETCH_MINOR_VER);
  present(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);
}

// Loop will iterate on changes on the BUTTON_PINs
void loop()
{
  uint8_t value;
  static uint8_t sentValue = 2;

  // Short delay to allow buttons to properly settle
  sleep(5);

  value = digitalRead(PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN);

  if (value != sentValue) {
    // Value has changed from last transmission, send the updated value
    send(msg.set(value == HIGH));
    sentValue = value;
  }

  // Sleep until something happens with the sensor
  sleep(PRIMARY_BUTTON_PIN - 2, CHANGE, 0);
}

Serial data, one line = one button click

Uncomment the my_debug and you should see all the debug info.

Pavel Polititsky

@gohan I cant to set correct speed for the serial port because used 1mhz@int osc
I tried all options...

gohan

You can do it on the gateway at least

Pavel Polititsky

@gohan already done but not possible to see anything
Every line was shifted to the right side and finally no space left.
I use minicom app for monitoring serial port

Actually i need to make 100-1000 clicks to catch a fail moment
Here is working fine

gohan

Can't you just use the arduino ide serial monitor?

Then it continue works as before

Actually I have problems only with fu@ing button, most simplest device. Several month I can't to start use it.
All other devices are working properly even on 2.3.0 ver. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

gohan

Have you tried with a debouce? Just in case...

@gohan the default sketch with debounce library works better, but now i see my primary problem.
Occasionally I have an ACK errors

I tried to icrease the time ack on my controller - it does not help
Ithink that I need to ckeck ack state on the node and send the message again, but have no idea how to do

gohan

you are at the limit of the radio range I'd say so randomly it looses a message, so you need to either increase power or get a better antenna (I hope you aren't using any buck/boost converter as power supply)

Pavel Polititsky

@gohan how you know?
Id 21 from range 0..255. Are you sure that is limit?

Same with any different IDs, I tried sending message 3 times, this guarantees delivery of payload, but it using too much power

Now I use power supply with 1117

But my other nodes powered by CR2032 with boost 0.8-3.3V dc/dc with inductor coil on the NRF24 supply pin without any troubles

He means radio range (distance) not ID of node ;)

Pavel Polititsky

@nca78 oke, undestood
Problem stiil not resolved. I want to send message again to the gateway if NACK but dont know how to do it.

send(msg.set(value == HIGH), true);

in this case i have additional ack log in the serial debug, nothing more
