OK it's probaly because ia have mini with 168 chip i have to buys 328 :( again wait 1month to arive from china

lekeb

hello.
I am building a node with several kind of sensors and two relays.
My sensors use CHILD ID from 0 to 3. I would like to start child ID of relay from 4.
How I can't do that with this sketch?
I guess I have to change this part of sketch :
"for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_PIN; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
// Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
present(sensor, S_BINARY);"

correct?

thanks

@lekeb
You may do something like this:
In Header:

uint8_t DS_First_Child_ID = 7; //First Child-ID to be used by Dallas Bus

an then in presentation():

for (int i = 0; i < numSensors && i < MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
    present(i + DS_First_Child_ID, S_TEMP);
}

But afaik, it's not recommended to shift the ChildID's for relays but always start with 1. Imo it's better to change the ChildID's of the other attached sensors. You may also take care (in case of shifting ID's) about a consistent mapping from ID to the PINs where the relays are attached.

gohan

Agreed, set you sensors to higher ID numbers like 20 or 30 and you are good to go .

lekeb

ok thanks a lot I will try this night

lekeb

perfect it works great. I started my temperature sensor at CHILD ID 4 and let relays from 1 to 2. I had to add also "DS_First_Child_ID" in the sent message to gateway.
thanks

Hi
Please put to this topic code your sketch....
Thanks

@lekeb said in 💬 Relay:

MyMessage pressureMsg(BARO_CHILD, V_PRESSURE);
MyMessage msg(0,V_TEMP);

Why are you using the same child ID (since you set #define BARO_CHILD 0)?

rejoe2

@gohan Effectively, he will never report any temp reading under ChildID 0. Within presentation() and the send() commands, the "0" is replaced by "i + DS_First_Child_ID".
But you are partly right, to avoid any misunderstandings wrt. that the statement could also be written as follows:

MyMessage msg(DS_First_Child_ID,V_TEMP);

lekeb

correct, it makes sense. I will correct this error.
However Domoticz reads correctly the temperature and links correctly the CHILD ID's, so...

Hello everybody !

I would like to creat a sensor with two relays and two buttons to command this relay direct from the sensor (with actualisation of their stat in domoticz)
Someone know the code to do this ? I'm a complete newbie on mysensor !

Thank's a lot !

rejoe2

@jonathan-pucel Have a look at the code in this post.

Jonathan Pucel

Excellent ! It's perfect, thank's a lot rejoe2 !

Hi
Using Home assistant, and Optimistic set to false in the mysensors config, the switch in homeassistant would turn the relay on, but in the view in homeassistant the flip switch jumped off straight after switching on. It was solved by adding the following line to the sketch, ensuring that hassio knows that the actuator actually have received the command. Not sure if this is a good way of doing it, but it seems to work for me.
send(msg.set(state)); // Send new state and request ack back
in:
void receive(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
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());
 send(msg.set(state)); // Send new state and request ack back

}
}

Thanks

Hi!

I would like to control some 230VAC equipment (for now roller shutters), based on inputs from my mysensors sensors (temperature and light). For controller I use domoticz.

I would like a safe, robust and preferably authorized/lawful solution (I'm in EU/Denmark).

I came across the following solutions:

https://aeotec.com/z-wave-plug-in-switch
https://sonoff.itead.cc/en/products/sonoff/sonoff-basic
https://dlidirect.com/products/iot-power-relay

I think the first one and maybe the second one will be authorized/lawful...? However, I have experience only with mysensors and neither z wave nor sonoff...

Anyone has some experience/thoughts/suggestions to share?

Thanks.

gohan

There are also roller shutters nodes running via zwave if you are looking at a retail solution

arraWX

Thank you @gohan! Retail solution is not the keyword here. What I am searching for is an authorized/lawful (safe) solution.

I decided to do my own node (mysensors) with a cheap relay module for the arduino. Once I achieve the desired functionality I will change to some more robust hardware. Following your suggestion this could be a z wave roller shutter (e.g. fibaro or qubino).

Sorry to comment negative, but your wording doesn't make sense. either you will go for a DIY solution, cheap and illegal (but not necessary a bad solution), or you will purchase a retail solution.
Retail solution must have the required certificates to allow you to sell. Those are not cheap to get, which also provide the reason for a retail solution to
be usually fairly expensive

And also you need Notified Body

And I know that Cetekom can create certificate for Country Approvals
