💬 Temperature Sensor

mrwomble

Hi there, I'm new to Mysensors and I thought I'd start with a simple DS Temp sensor. However, I'm getting compile errors when I try compile it. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Arduino: 1.6.11 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

Ah, never mind! Managed to resolve it after all. For the benefit of others who may hit the same issue: the code depends on a very particular version of the DallasTemperature library, the versions downloaded via the Arduino IDE don't work and give the errors above. I had to download the library from the examples on github here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples

@mrwomble

Hello mrwomble.

Could you detail the file you have use to compile OK ? Do we need to use the full library? I plan to use local file with
#include "filename.h"
instead of
#include <filename.h>
Thanks

Patrik Söderström

I have trouble with this on a NodeMCU 0.9.
#error "Please define I/O register types here"

Anyone who can help?

mfalkvidd

@Patrik-Söderström could you give us some more context about the problem?
Which line does the error occur on? Does the error message say anything more? (we are not magicians :-) )
Have you modified the example sketch in any way? if so, what changes?

Patrik Söderström

I use the following code, I have added the GW support for ESP board.

@Patrik-Söderström according to http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9430 you need a newer version of the onewire library.

Can anyone tell me what these errors say?

@remis

I confirm that i can suppress the compilation error but nothing append on serial port...

Could somebody write here the typical serial port output with debug available?

This example is not working. What is the good solution to use this temperature sensor ?

thanks

Alex B Goode

Why don't we use an internal pull-up resistor available within an arduino board? Why additional external one?

pinMode(pin, INPUT); // set pin to input
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistors

mfalkvidd

@Alex-B-Goode the datasheet says "The 1-Wire bus requires an external pullup resistor of approximately 5kΩ"
The internal pull-up of most Arduinos are 20-50kΩ

So my guess is that the reason is that the person who created the instructions read the datasheet and chose to follow its recommendation. But accounding to http://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/62096/107155 the exact size might not be important, so it might be possible to use the internal pull up. Try it and let us know if it works.

Does this example compile for anyone??? I get this error:

@toddsantoro see post 2 and 3 in this thread or read the instructions on the build page, just under the "Example" heading.

^ What he said 😁

toddsantoro

@mfalkvidd OK. I have it compiling and uploaded to the nano. My config file looks like this now:

sensor 6:
  -platform: onewire
    names:
      some_id: outside
      mount_dir: "/mnt/1wire"

I get an error when I restart HASS on the Pi.

ERROR (Thread-6) [homeassistant.components.sensor.onewire] No onewire sensor found. Check if dtoverlay=w1-gpio is in your /boot/config.txt. Check the mount_dir parameter if it's defined.

I guess my question is do I need to define the mount_dir variable and if so is the one I have correct? And if it is correct do I need to create that directory on my Pi?

I also do not get any output in the Arduino Serial Monitor window. Not sure if I even should...

Thanks in advance for any help...

mfalkvidd

@toddsantoro I am not familiar with homeassistant so I have no clue unfortunately.

About debug output on the serial monitor: Debug needs to be enabled first. See instructions at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help and https://www.mysensors.org/build/debug

Debug output is often essential when troubleshooting.

Does this look OK? If so I will ask my previous question on the Home Assistant forum. You have been a great help and once I get one of these things down I will be able to help others:)

mfalkvidd

@toddsantoro yes that looks good.

The "st=ok:xyz" means message xyz was acknowledged by the destination node (in your case by the gateway)

stingone

No compile error but i cant see anything on the serial monitor. also the temp sensor burend out with a 4k7 resistor :S

remis

@stingone
Hi. The same issue for me . I solve it with : 38400 bauds configuration serial port ( instead of 115200 default value)
and i lowering the RF power output with low_pa enable: it confirms that I have some issues with power suppply.

good luck
