    ok, but we are going off topic since now your problem seems to be the radios can't talk to each other, so if you take a look in troubleshooting section you will see others having this error that usually if bad wiring, missing capacitor on vcc of the nrf24, range/interference problem. How far are the 2 radio modules? Try putting them 2-3 meters apart.

    Thanks, my radio modules are very close, they are on the same table for test. On of them may be damaged, I must receive others. I'm going in the troubleshooting section to avoid polluting this article.
    Thanks for your help

    Put them at least 2 meters apart, just to play safe.

    It's the same, I've even reversed the radio modules

    @gohan , I'm in the same situation as @Vincent-Lgrd. I'm powering my arduino UNO from usb (to test). Is that a possible problem?

    I use USB pretty much all the time and never had any issue. I had many problems in the beginning with radio modules that had the black blob instead of the ic and once I got the new ones everything started to work. I'm still working on increasing the range, probably because they are clones and not good quality.

    @gohan I changed my getaway to an old good rpi model b, and the temperature node started to work, so I think that the problem was on de getaway wiring or in the getaway code itsef. Thanks

    Is it also possible to upload the example code to a Arduino Nano, and connect it via USB to a Windows PC with Domoticz?

    Or will it only work with the radio modules (and extra gateway?)

    I think you can use the serial gateway sketch and the sensor code in setup and loop

    Thank you for posting this project!

    Could like to suggest a small change to the sketch. There are several posts out there about this not running with the latest DallasTemperature library. The call to sensors.millisToWaitForConversion won't compile because the method is not public. From another post I learned that this method is very simple and could be included in the sketch. I would suggest changing the line

    int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());

    to read

    int16_t conversionTime = millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());

    and add this function to the sketch:

    int16_t millisToWaitForConversion(uint8_t bitResolution)
    {
    switch (bitResolution)
    {
    case 9:
    return 94;
    case 10:
    return 188;
    case 11:
    return 375;
    default:
    return 750;
    }
    }

    In any case, this might help the next person using this project.

    I had some problems with Domoticz triggering an event based on a certain temperature. When using multiple DS18B20 it is a good idea to use the ID of the sensors to always get the same order of sensors. If one is not read, for example B of A, B, C then C becomes B. See: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4143/about-ds18b20-onewire for more info. You maybe need to adjust the sketch a bit for your number of sensors.

    @CurtisMack

    could you explain how to solve this ?
    I'm no pro, and wanted to use 1 single DS1820 in a sketch and also got same message about :
    int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());

    Mysensors is hard hard nut to learn, specially because of a lot of changes in the newer version 2.1.0 ...(and im still learning to work with arduino software , i keep running often against old sketches i like to try as sample to use them in other sketches , (my way of learning) but than they dont work with latest version. because something changed.
    but i love the mysensors functions.

    p.s sorry for my bad english....

    I sofar got the sketch running and giving good data on serial and into domoticz

    i only could use some help with how to sent my Temperature in Celsius to domoticz to
    i tried to use:
    send(msgTemp.set(insideThermometer ,2));
    and
    send(msgTemp.set(tempC,2));

    both without luck, the first did transmit some data but wrong numbers
    second did nothing think because with this i done i does not know what address the DS1820 is on.

    Im learning every day something new....

    Maybe someone could help,

    @Rene046 Your sketch doesn't show either of the send commands you say you are attempting. This makes it difficult to determine why it wouldn't be working. I am relative new to all of this as well, and use Vera not a Domoticz. On the first version that is sending a message, what data is getting through? I would try putting the "send" command someplace in the code where msgTemp has already been set. Then just call send(msgTemp).

    hi

    Then i would have placed this in the loop>
    The error i get then is :'TempC' was not declared in this scope

    #ifdef MY_DEBUG
Serial.print("DS1820 Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(tempC);
  Serial.println(" C");
send(msgTemp.set(tempC ,2));
  
  Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(batteryV);
  Serial.println(" V");
send(msgbatt.set(batteryV ,2));```

    so far my result.

    had to use float TempC = 50.5 at the start
    but in my serial i get the right temperature,
    but using it in the loop gives me still wrong number 50.5 so gets not updated.

    Hi,

    Can someone push me into the right direction.
    I followed the "tutorial" and setup a Serial Gateway. This seems to be running just fine.

    Now i want to add a node with a temperature sensor.

    Both are using the NRF24L radio.

    On my node i get an errors in the serial monitor.
    What did i do wrong?

    @skywatch just follow the instructions on the build page:

    This example uses a modified version of the external DTH library, which is included in the MySensors external examples. Please install it and restart the Arduino IDE before trying to compile.

    Thank you - that did it.

    But it would be good to have that info in the file header too, just to call attention to it. Either that or a structured step-by-step tutorial so that things like this don't get left out.

    At least it works now though, kul!

    really silly question.....so does create multiple sensors? so i would have temp1 temp2 or does it combine the value of both for an averaged temprature?
    the way i read it it would present mutiple sensors i think?

    It creates the sensors that you present during the presentation.

    am i reading it correctly that it presents sensors based on the variable for number of temp sensors?

    @Digdogger it can depend on a lot of things. The best way to know is to look at the debug logs from the node and the gateway from the time when it happened. There could be a problem with the communication, with the radios, with the power supply, with the sketch, etc.

    It could also be that you're using a microcontroller that doesn't support MySensors sleep, such as the esp8266. But it is just a guess. The information that's usually needed to troubleshoot is listed in https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/

    Slightly off-topic here... but related to this particular sketch

    If you look close enough (and copy-paste the sketch into your IDE) you'll witness that one curly-bracket is technically missing at the end of loop()...

    But as I added it to the sketch I got error

    Sketch compiles fine "with" the missing curly-bracket... ???

    Any comment to that (in my sense) funny behavior ?

    @ben999 the simple answer is probably that the backet isn't missing 🙂

    Can you show why you think it is missing?

  • ben999

    @mfalkvidd

    I must have gone mad then 👻

    Check the loop()
    The last closing curly--bracket is for

    for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {

    So which one closes

    void loop()     {

    If i add one more to "make it right" then hell brakes loose...

    sketch_jul31a:110: error: expected declaration before '}' token
 }
 ^
exit status 1
expected declaration before '}' token

    1-That's the only sketch behaving this way
    2-Even the "IDE-automatic-opening-bracket-finder" (shows which bracket is open when placing cursor on closing bracket) can NOT find the right bracket for loop()...

    😱

    Interesting observation @ben999

    This is caused by the preprocessing directives.

    #if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
    if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#else
    if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#endif

    Only one of these if statements will be active. The Arduino IDE probably doesn't evaluate preprocessing directives, so it sees two if statements and therefore thinks it should see two end braces. A way to "fix" this could be to move the starting curly brace to after the preprocessing directives:

    #if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
    if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00)
#else
    if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00)
#endif
    {

    This allows the Arduino IDE to parse the code correctly, and correctly match the braces.

    I just upgraded to the MYS 2.1.1 version.

    My OneWire temperature sensors were not detected!

    I moved the sensors.begin() from setup() to before(), and that seems to have fixed things, and my temp sensors are being detected and read now.

    Anyone know why the OneWire library has to be initialized before MySensors setup?

    Thanks!

    @chaeron I assume, you used an old version of the sketch.

    Your question most likely is related to a change in the order of the initialisation. This has changed in Version 2.2: from
    setup()=>presentation()
    to
    before()=>presentation()=>setup().

    So also the initialisation of sensors had to be reviewed accordingly (eg. to get the number of devices).

    @rejoe2 said in 💬 Temperature Sensor:

    @chaeron I assume, you used an old version of the sketch.

    That is correct....the original code was written over a year ago. Trying to run it under 2.1.1 caused it to fail.

    Your question most likely is related to a change in the order of the initialisation. This has changed in Version 2.2: from
    setup()=>presentation()
    to
    before()=>presentation()=>setup().

    So where was this rather major change documented? It would probably have broken any 1-Wire examples, including the temperature one.

    So also the initialisation of sensors had to be reviewed accordingly (eg. to get the number of devices).

    So I figured out....I went looking for documentation on this rather significant change and was not able to find it noted anywhere.

    There was a rather small note in the 2.0.0 changelog about the introduction of before().

    Btw: Another functional routine (preHwInit() (?)) may have been introduced also with 2.1.1 (?). But until now, all of my sketches and tests got along without this preHwInit() functionality. But imo the new structure is pretty good: before() is helpfull to initialise SPI devices on same bus as nRF24 and to collect relevant info like the number of DS18x20, setup() is now also good to send info you only need once (e.g. the Dallas-Chip-ID).

    The rest is - at least afaik - not really documented well, but most examples (if you use the updated ones) will work (apart from the DS18x20 example, where other - external - code changes made some parts tricky to use.

    I made some working sketches for the Dallas Sensors some time ago based on some ideas I found here in the MySensors forum; they mostly should still work (exept for the change of getConfig() to getControllerConfig()). If you are interested: here .

    Kind regards

    If anyone is interested:

    The sketches in my repo have been updated yesterday for complete compability with the new structure and syntax. They compile fine and should work, but I didn't have the time to make functional tests also.
    If anyone is interested, I could also add a multibus example with several Sensors at each bus and different timings for each bus. One of my nodes is working on this concept for several days now (Heizung, RS485 version), so I'm pretty confident this will reliably work for longer periods. But it's rather special😀 .

    Thx for asking.

    Repo-link was mentioned above, @rejoe2 said in 💬 Temperature Sensor:

    If you are interested: here .

    Btw: the sketches have been updated and compile now also with MySensors 2.2.0-beta. But to be honest, I didn't test them with hardware until now. So feedback is appreciated :simple_smile:.

  • rejoe2

    Additionally: There is also a multibus version included that uses different timings for reading each of the buses.
    For using this sketch, I'm not sure wheter some changes in the DallasTemperature-lib also is required (it is based on an very recent example of the maintainer's guthub version; should be linked in the Arduino Library Manager; I myself applied some changes wrt. this in my local libs).
    I may aslo post this in case anyone's interested (and these mods are necessary).

    @Dick you are missing

    #define MY_NODE_ID x

    where x is the unique sensor ID you want to assign to node. If look in the gateway or node log you will see the node asking for an ID

    @gohan Domticz is capable of handing out node ids so using the default auto setting is perfectly fine.

    But yes, the debug log from node and gateway will help a lot in determining what the problem is.

    @mfalkvidd I already tried a fixed node ID but that was not the solution so I checked the log of domoticz and this is the result:

    @Dick that output doesn't seem to match the sketch you posted. The output says the node is a repeater, but I don't see any repeater activation in the sketch.

    @mfalkvidd Thx for your observation, I didn't realise that. Did you try to use this sketch also?
    As FHEM is the controller sw I use, I am not able to really test this kind of behaviour, that more seemed to be related to domoticz (or other trouble wrt. to this individual MySensors-installation).

    @Dick Imo, the node at least when trying to register behaves as necessary: it presents itself to the controller (but the chosen ID seems to be already bound to a different node). In FHEM - not for the node itself but for individual readings - it is necessary to reload the page to see updated readings, if it's the very first time they are sent from node's side (hope, you can follow my thoughts). Maybe domoticz shows a similar behaviour?

    @mfalkvidd I was reffering to this part of the serial output:

    0 MCO:BGN:INIT REPEATER,CP=RNNRA--,VER=2.1.1

    Imo, the only thing that is not standard is to also use a comment when presenting the individual temp-sensors:

    present(i + DS_First_Child_ID, S_TEMP, charAddr);

    FHEM doesn't care about that (just ignores this comment), but maybe other controllers don't like that at all. (I added this as it is a possible feature and may be helpful for others), but @Dick , you could try to delete the last argument.

    @rejoe2 the repeater feature is disabled by default, so Dick must have activated it by a define.

    @Dick Besides the inclusion mode, in FHEM one also has to activate a feature called "autocreate". Is there a comparable routine, and in case if: did you turn it on?
    If you have a look in your domoticz log, there most likely appear further trials to register, or not?

    @mfalkvidd For your info, I started the sketch cleareeprom to clear my Nano, loaded the script mentioned already and the log I posted is the same so the log must fit the sketch for the DallasTemperatureSimple. The repeater is activated or is it better to turn it off?

    @Dick the repeater feature is turned off by default so there is something very fishy going on.

    @mfalkvidd I changed the dalles lib with an older one, because in a disussion a wile ago it was advised to get it working. Now this modified Sketch is available I replaced the dalles lib again the latest one. For the rest nothing.

    @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 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?

    @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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    @skywatch doing what you want is a bit hard since millis won't update while the node is in power save mode (sleeping). But this should do it:
    set SLEEP_TIME = 2 * 60 * 1000 // 2 minutes
    and change

    void loop()
{
  // get the battery Voltage
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) {
    previousMillis = currentMillis;
    int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
    batteryPcnt = sensorValue / 10;
    sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
  }
...

    to

    unsigned int batteryReportFactor = 30*60*1000ul/SLEEP_TIME; // Only report battery every x SLEEP times (x=15 with current values)
unsigned int timesSlept = 0;
void loop()
{
  if (timesSlept < batteryReportFactor) {
    timesSlept++;
  } else {
    // get the battery Voltage
    timesSlept = 0;
    int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
    batteryPcnt = sensorValue / 10;
    sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
  }
...

    I don't understand why you're using interrupt to sleep though.

    Thank you very much for helping out with this! - I will try it today if I can. I guess I could use the same principle to send sensor data every 2 minutes instead of every 1 minute and further reduce battery draw. I know the DS18B20 sensors are correctly going into sleep mode, but the node itself is still using too much juice.

    @skywatch doing what you want is a bit hard since millis won't update while the node is in power save mode (sleeping).

    There is nothing in the API about this, would be nice if it were added as I don't think I will be the only person with such requirements. Also, what does sleep actually do and are there further things I could do to reduce the power use?

    I don't understand why you're using interrupt to sleep though.

    That is because I haven't finished this node yet.... I am working on it systematically and in future a water leak detector will be added. But only when this part is working correctly and I have good battery life from the node.

    Good point. I have added a note on https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#sleeping

    Also, what does sleep actually do and are there further things I could do to reduce the power use?

    It does a lot of things, but basically it puts the radio and the Arduino in power save mode and uses the Arduino's watchdog timer to roughly keep track of time (exact timing is not possible because exact timing requires power, and power save mode is all about saving power).

    https://www.mysensors.org/build/battery has the official MySensors recommendations on how to save power in battery-operated nodes.

    I'd use the sleep time to 2 minutes and then simply set a counter that every 15 loops of the code sends battery status and resets the counter. Imho 2 minutes are quite often for battery life.

    @gohan wasn't that what I did?

    This can't be right, can it???

    @mfalkvidd I'm on mobile, I didn't read the code 😇

    @skywatch it looks normal. The precision is probably 1% and the real value close to 100.5%, so sometimes it will be rounded to 101% and sometimes to 100%.

    @gohan hek has added a great feature that I use a lot on mobile. Click the code box once to maximize it. Super neat!

    @mfalkvidd,

    Did you notice the time line on the bottom of the image. I thought it was supposed to send data once every 30 mins. Seems that something isn't right or I am looking at it from the wrong angle.....?

    @skywatch I'm not that versed in c/c++ arithmetic, but I suspect the calculation might overflow. Could you add a debug print to see the value of batteryReportFactor?

    OK I'll do that - seems to be sending battery info every minute still though- strange!

    @skywatch could you post the entire sketch also, to check if something fishy has crept in?

    Here is the sketch, debug will be later today I hope....

    

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
//#define MY_DEBUG

//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;  // select the input pin for the battery sense point
int batteryPcnt = 0;
unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 2 * 60 * 1000; // 2 minutes Sleep time between reads.
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS); // Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire); // Pass the oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
int numSensors = 0;
const long interval = 90000;
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
bool receivedConfig = false;

unsigned int timesSlept = 0;
// Initialize temperature message
MyMessage msg(0, V_TEMP);

void before()

  // Startup up the OneWire library
  sensors.begin();
}

void setup()

  // requestTemperatures() will not block current thread
  sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);

}

void presentation() {
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo("HW/CH", "0.5");

  // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors
  numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();

  // Present all sensors to controller
  for (int i = 0; i < numSensors && i < MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
    present(i, S_TEMP);
  }
}

void loop()
{
  // get the battery Voltage
  if (timesSlept < batteryReportFactor) {
    timesSlept++;
  } else {
    // get the battery Voltage
    timesSlept = 0;
    int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
    batteryPcnt = sensorValue / 10;
    sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
  }

  // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
  sensors.requestTemperatures();

  // query conversion time and sleep until conversion completed
  int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());
  // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
  sleep(conversionTime);

  // Read temperatures and send them to controller
  for (int i = 0; i < numSensors && i < MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {

    // Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
    float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric ? sensors.getTempCByIndex(i) : sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;

    // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
#if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
    if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#else
    if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#endif

      // Send in the new temperature
      send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature, 1));
      // Save new temperatures for next compare
      lastTemperature[i] = temperature;
    }
  }

  int8_t sleep(1, FALLING, SLEEP_TIME);
}```

Thanks!

    @skywatch code looks good to me. What type of Arduino are you using?

    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.
