💬 Temperature Sensor

I am using a pro mini 3.3v 8MHz. I would ideally like to get a 1MHZ bootloader onto it but the last try stopped the temperature sensors sending data (although battery levels were still sent!)..... Hope it helps.

Sorry for the dealy, I have had a week of plumbing problems at home - yuck! :(
So, I came back fresh to this and noticed that I had put the interrupt into the code ready for the water leak sensor (apt considering this weeks activities!) - BUT, I had not assigned the pin nor initialised it in the code. So maybe it was floating and giving random triggers?
I tested by changing from int8_t sleep(1, FALLING, SLEEP_TIME); to int8_t sleep(SLEEP_TIME); but now I get battery level sent every single second! - This is making me crazy......The log for the gateway has the following.....

Hi,
is there any known problem / bug with version 2.1.* and the Dallas temp sensor? (I found non in the bug tracker and/or forum)
I updated several nodes from 1.5 to 2.1.1 and now no temp sensor is working. No temp sensor DS18B20 is found by the node, therefore -127.0 is returned to the controller. I checked the wiring - as illustrated in this manual, everything seems right; incl. the pull-up with 4,7 k. I use the modified version of the Dallas-Library included in the examples package, as stated out in this manual.
Thanks,
Thomas -
I am not a programmer, but trying to learn by making small projects.
I am trying to build a arduino/ESP8266 with temp sensor so that at a particular set temp it sends a single to another arduino/ESP8266 with relay to turn on a cooler/heater. if there is a thread on this, please help me find it. -

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?

The change is tracked in https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/issues/20 and https://github.com/milesburton/Arduino-Temperature-Control-Library/pull/72 but we're still waiting for an official release of milesburton's library.

Hi, I have few in wall nodes mounted under the light switches. I have two relays and one DS18B20 in each node. When i'm turning light on, switching the relay, the DS18B20 readings jumping about 0.8 degrees celsius up. When I switch off the relay readings back to normal. Anyone have similar problems ? Sensors are away from from node board, relays etc. so it's not about the heat from atmega or relays.
-
It's probably a voltage drop from the psu when the relay is engaged and drawing current. That will cause the output voltage to dip slightly.
If it is only momentary you can add a beefy capacitor across the power supply, but if the readings change for the whole time the relay is on, you really need to replace the relay with something that uses less power (triac/mosfet??) - Or get a more stable power supply with good regulation.
A final thing might be more noise on the power line with the psu sending more current with the relay on. again a smoothing capacitor would help if this were the case.
You could also try looking into the wiring and see if the relay cables and the ds18b20 cables are far enough apart, some induction might be going on there between the cables. Also, make sure everything goes back to a single ground point. I can't imagine how an earth loop would cause what you describe, but it's always a good thing to do.....
Another thought to think about is matbe the magnetic field from the relap power cables are inducing into the sensor cables.

Hi
Can we talk about redundancy please? What if one or more sensor fail on a one-wire bus? Would it make the whole line unusable?
As part of a central heating MySensorization i would like to have groups of 3 sensors and have some sort of redundancy check.
Would i be allowed to run multiple one-wire busses on a single arduino?
Thanks a lot foryour help -

@ben999 you can have as many onewire buses as you have digital pins. Just add more of these:
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3 // Pin where dallase sensor is connected OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);@mfalkvidd thanks a lot. Yes, that looks good to me. I will have a go.
The real big question now is about what happens when one or more sensor fails on the line.
I am not talking about removing a sensor, which doesn't produce any fault.
My concern is how does a DS18 ends its life under normal operation? Complete shortcut? -

Complete shortcut?@ben999 I cannot remember WHERE I read it, but if a DS18B20 fails it will either send impossible results when addressed or fail to be addressed at all as it is digitally addressed. Only cable short circuits can pull the entire chain down, as I found out when two socket pins had crossed over (sensor crimped into telephone plugs).
-
@ben999 I don't think there are any guarantees on how it will fail. If there are, the datasheet should list them.
@mfalkvidd thank you for the idea. Had a look (boooooring reading for me :D ) but no mention to failiure
@zboblamont you're right. Seems that a faulty sensor return "85" (top of my head). And a "dead" sensor looses its bus address (next sensor on the chain takes its address and so on)
Thanks a lot gentlemen :)
