💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor

[Pavel Polititsky]

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

[gohan]

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?

I was build a new button node with new arduino (8mhz) and new nrf24, then update to 2.3.0 gateway and all other devices
But now have a worse result than before

But no incoming messages at the gateway. Only several random messages coming to controller from one hundred button clicks
Sometimes after fast series of clicks I get this:

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...

[Pavel Polititsky]

@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

[gohan]

The send function returns a value, so you can check if it was successfully sent or not and in case retry

[alowhum]

A quick ACK example:

        static boolean tryAgainLater = false; // should we resend?

        if(send(msgDust.setSensor(CHILD_ID_DUST_PM25).set(sensorValue),1)){
          Serial.println(F("Received ACK"));
          tryAgainLater = false;
        }else {
          Serial.println(F("Connection problem, try again"));
          tryAgainLater = true;
        }

[mfalkvidd]

There is no need to set the second parameter to send() to true. That parameter is unrelated to the return value (except very unfortunate similar naming). More info: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1103

[alowhum]

@mfalkvidd said in 💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor:

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1103

Ah, thanks. So ACK basically always happens?

in that case, do you have any better example code on how to check if the ACK is received?
