💬 Temperature Sensor

@Dick this part

2201 !MCO:SLP:REP

of the initial log you posted says that the node cannot sleep because it is a repeater.

This part of the sketch:

  // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
  sleep(conversionTime);

explains that if the node is a repeater, the sleep call must be replaced by wait. If it is not replaced, the temperature sensors will not be ready when getTemp... is called, so the node will not send any values. Domoticz only lists sensors that have sent a value.

[Dick]

@mfalkvidd I chaned the Sleep into Wait but the same log in both Domoticz and on my Arduino. I thought it was an easy go but it appear not to be.

[rejoe2]

@Dick Did you change it at both places ( sleep(conversionTime);)?

[Dick]

@rejoe2 Yes on both location I replaced the sleep into a wait

[Dick]

@mfalkvidd In the Arduino log he Sleep error is not i anymore so that is solved but still no new device in Domoticz

[mfalkvidd]

@Dick if you get the same log on the Arduino as before changing to wait, the sketch upload must have failed. Perhaps your Arduino is broken?
Edit: Sorry, didn't see your last reply.

What does the node log say now?

@Dick thanks. The node still doesn't send any values so that's why it does not show up in Domoticz.

My next step would be to manually add serial debug prints at end of setup(), presentation(), and almost everywhere in loop(), to see why it doesn't attempt to send.

[rejoe2]

Very strange.
I just mad the test and copied the code (out of your post above) to my IDE, compiled and uploaded: No problem, worked fine. Node gets registered by FHEM, sends ID once and Temp regularly as expected. For testing, I used just one DS18B20, but that shouldn't make any difference. (And MySensors lib version 2.2-beta, but that also shouldn't be an issue).

Btw: what kind of a GW you are using?
Recently, I came across a situation with a WiFi-GW that absolutely refused to accept new nodes. Using a serial one, everything was fine... Strange thing, too. (The GW itself was ok, there were several other nodes working without any communication problems. the new HW was also ok. Last, the channel was also correct, as all the existing nodes just switched over to the serial GW.... Reflashing that nasty thing also was no solution.)

I put some deug lines i it and after uploadig the sketch it stops here (wait conversationtime.)

[mfalkvidd]

@Dick could you try printing the value of numSensors in presentation()? (or in loop, it should have the same value there)

[Dick]

@mfalkvidd how can I manage that? sorr for the perhaps stupid qestion?

[mfalkvidd]

@Dick

Serial.print("Number of attached sensors found by the DallasTemperature library: ");
Serial.println(numSensors);

[rejoe2]

@Dick best place would be after numSensors = ... in presentation()

Just to mention that: The Arduino I used already had a node ID (I usually assign it manually). But your problem seems to be something completely different.

[Dick]

@mfalkvidd I tried it in Presentation() and in Loop() inboth no results in the log (copied it as you advised me how to do. so no result bisible). it is getting complex I think!

[rejoe2]

How are your sensors wired? Parasitic or 3 wires?
Sounds like a broken sensor, wrong wiring or a lot of sensors (to much for the pullup used).

[mfalkvidd]

Ok. I give up. If the node isn't executing the serial prints I know no way of troubleshooting.

[Dick]

@mfalkvidd I ony can tell "thanksfo the support ad you time" . Have a nice wekend!!!

[skywatch]

I have been frustrated with this for weeks now. Today I notice that void loop is not closed with a curly brace and if I add one it does not compile.
So what black magic is going on here?

I have been trying to get sensor readings every 2 mins and battery every half hour. But whatever I try it still gives temp every minute and battery at once a minute too. No wonder my batteries are draining so fast.

[mfalkvidd]

@skywatch the curly braces were discussed and explained earlier in this thread.

Could you post your sketch and the debug output of your node?
