    In the "Create Repeating Nodes" section, could you please change:

    #define MY_REPEATER_NODE

    to

    #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE

    I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why my repeater node wasn't working.

    Thanks for a great product!

          what is difference between MY_PARENT_NODE_ID and MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC ?
          when i add "MY PARENT NODE ID" to sketch of end node , so end node dont connect to controller directly ? and dont connect to other repeaters node? even when parent node is fail ?

          edit : i test this features but dont work ! i want the my end node connect to controller with for example parent with node id 3 ! node 3 is a repeater.... but every time (with move and reset) end node choose a new parent...

            Hi, I could not find a setCommand() message Api to chose between SET or REQ, is this done on purpose? I think it may be legitimate for a node to send a REQ command instead of the default SET.
            Looks like mSetCommand(msg, C_SET) works but I'd avoid using not standard API calls.
            Thanks!

                @martinhjelmare Thanks, I've completely missed it expecting it somehow in the message constructor section, my bad! Thanks again

                  Hi I just finished configuring a site map having the sample node (S_DOOR) code above as the only thing and I noticed that it only updates once (only at every restart) to the Paper UI Control, The Basic UI, and to the Classic UI, I've already inserted a prinf to check if it would print to the serial monitor, and to also see if the value is changing on every loop and it is changing.

                  But when I looked at the Karaf Console, the send() doestn't seem to be reflecting there:

                    Please disregard my prev inquiry, I was able to find a solution that same day, but it required me to modify MySensors library (inside RF24_spiMultiByteTransfer function) and also exposed one of the functions in RF24.h to get it to work.

                      Please confirm that to have node configured as repeater only, it is sufficient to have the following code written:

                      #define MY_DEBUG
                      #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
                      #include <SPI.h>
                      #include <MySensors.h>
                      #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE

                      void setup()
                      {
                      }
                      void presentation() {
                      }
                      void loop()
                      {
                      }

                        @apl2017 I don't think you need to include SPI.h
                        #define MY_REPEATER_FEATURE (and all other MySensors defines) must be placed before including MySensors.h

                          Thank you MFalkvidd. I was wondering why many examples in your library have SPI.h library called while have no SPI communication required, it sounds like it can be removed from them as well..
                          Also, do I need to place CHILD MySensors defines before including MySensors.h? It is not how many examples are done, please clarify.

                            Which examples are you referring to? I am not able to find any occurrences of including SPI.h in the examples:

                            Micke @ Quasi Arduino/libraries/MySensors HEAD
                            $ grep -ir 'SPI\.h' examples/ | wc -l
                            0
                            

                            The child ids are not used by the MySensors library. They are only used in the sketch, so there is no need to define them before including the library.

                                Those examples use external libraries and are therefore placed outside the main MySensors git repo. Some of the external libraries might need SPI. I doubt most of them do though, especially button and servo.

                                I'm not sure how to verify that in an efficient way though. We woldn't want to break the examples.

                                  @mfalkvidd One of the efficient ways to do it (if doable) is to replace site examples with links to main MySensors git repo. I noticed that some examples on site are incorporated into the pages, some are done as links already. I realize thou that examples in git repo could be different. The goal of git repo examples, as I see it, is to show technology capabilities covering majority of typical applications, while on website you may also publish some real exotic examples, such as sky stars, or whole house fan.

                                  Please don't get me wrong, I love MySensors and very pleased with technology, documentation and support. This is just in my nature to attempt to clarify and optimize whatever I can. My colleagues at work hate me for this...

                                    @apl2017 the reason those examples are separate is that they require external libraries to be installed. So replacing them would not work.

                                      Maybe I should expand on that.

                                      MySensors has two git repos:
                                      The MySensors library (https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors ) which contains the library and all examples that do not require external dependencies.
                                      https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples which contains examples that require external dependencies.

                                      The MySensors library can be installed from the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE. Installing the MySensors library won't break any of your existing non-MySensors sketches, or sketches from other libraries. All examples included in the MySensors library will work without installing other libraries.

                                      Installing MySensorsArduinoExamples (which must be done manually) can cause warnings or compile errors to your existing non-MySensors sketches. Example sketches in this repo requires the libraries included in the MySensorsArduinoExamples repo. In some cases, the libraries included in MySensorsArduinoExamples are incompatible with upstream versions of the same library, which will cause problems.

                                      Examples from both repos, and examples from openhardware.io, are listed on https://www.mysensors.org/build
                                      The examples that come from the git repos are linked, so the build page always displays the latest master version from github.

                                      The pages on https://www.mysensors.org/build that require external libraries have a note about requiring external libraries, and instructions on how to install them.

                                        I was working on creating the 'ultimate header' for all my devices. The documentation page that this thread refers to has left me with a lot of questions. Here's a list of what I think I understand, and the things that I don't.

                                        • MY_PARENT_NODE_ID. I suspect this refers to the node ID of the gateway, which would make it 0. Or can it also be used to manually point a specific repeater?
                                        • MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC. What is this? When would this matter? If I set a parent node ID manually, isn't it implied that it doesn't ever change already?
                                        • MY_REPEATER_FEATURE. Perhaps nice to explain that there is no downside to turning this on for every node (as long as the nodes don't run on batter and their code is non-blocking).
                                        • MY_DEBUG. perhaps mention that there is a tool to translate these into human readable form? Perhaps create a page with the most common errors and what they mean?
                                        • MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE. If I understand correctly, if you enable this it means that controller, and not the gateway itself, will be given control over whether or not new devices may be added to the network.
                                        • MY_INCLUSION_BUTTON_FEATURE. If I understand correctly, this is used by gateway nodes only, and means that you have to press a button on the gateway device before it will accept new nodes into the network. You then set the button's pin number with this: #define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_BUTTON_PIN
                                        • MY_SIGNING_SOFT. Signing is like a signature: it allows a node to say "this data really came from me". It protects your network from impostors. See also "my simple security. The "soft" version does this with code only. To do this well it needs a good source of random numbers, and one way of doing this is to listen to the noise on an arduino pin. MY_SIGNING_SOFT_RANDOMSEED_PIN allows you to set that pin.
                                          You can also buy devices that aid in this signing process. See: MY_SIGNING_ATSHA204
                                        • MY_RF24_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION. Encrypts the communication so that your neighbour can't listen in. See also "my simple security.
                                        • MY_RF24_CE_PIN. While you can't change all the pins that connect the radio to the Arduino, there are some that you can change. This is one of them.
                                        • MY_RF24_CS_PIN. This is the other.
                                        • MY_RF24_DATARATE. You can set at which speed the NRF24 radio communicates. Important to note is that this is all or nothing: all devices in the network should work at the same speed. Lower speed will create a more 'coarse' signal, and this will help improve wireless range. As most MySensors networks only send a little bit of data once in a while, a slow speed should be fine. You can try:
                                          #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS // fast
                                          #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_250KBPS // slow
                                        • MY_RF24_BASE_RADIO_ID ?
                                        • MY_SOFTSPI (et all) . Perhaps this can be used to use any pin on the Arduino to communicate with the radio. I don't know if this requires another Arduino library to support this.
                                        • MY_CORE_ONLY. I have no idea what the difference is. @Anticimex says: "core functions are things like the HAL and debug logging functionality. Framework means all the presentation message transmissions and handshaking. Basically, MY_CORE_ONLY allow you to leverage the functionality provided by the library without having the library execute things out of your control.". If you have to ask, then probably just don't use it :-)
                                        • MY_CORE_COMPATIBILITY_CHECK. As far as I can tell MySensors is remarkable backwards compatible: your gateway can be newer than your nodes. So I'm not sure when you would want to use this.
                                        • MY_TRANSPORT_SANITY_CHECK Once in a while checks that your radio is actually working. I don't know how you could use this. Perhaps if you see a lot of failures, and connection is temporarily working, then you could inform the controller about the radio slowly dying? More here.
                                        • MY_TRANSPORT_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL_MS. As far as I understand, the Gateway will once in a while shout "who is there" into the air. All the nodes can then respond. This allows new nodes to be included, even if something went wrong during the initial presentaiton phase? Perhaps it is also used to detect that some devices are no longer on the network? And then it can shrink the routing table? Perhaps this is like a server-side command to ask all nodes to do a 'sendHeartbeat();' ?
                                        • MY_TRANSPORT_UPLINK_CHECK_DISABLED. When you start a node, it will check if it can talk with the gateway. This skips that check. I suspect that this will then not be activated: if(isTransportReady()){ // do something }.
                                        • MY_TRANSPORT_MAX_TX_FAILURES. How often it will try to connect with the radio hardware? What happens when it fails a number of times? Does it give up? Retry later? What is "SNP"?
                                        • MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS. Very useful. You can tell a node to try connecting to the gateway for X seconds, but if it fails, it should just carry on. I usually set this to 10000 so that it will try connecting to the network for ten seconds, and then just continue starting the node. The default is 0, meaning that if a node can't connect to the gateway it will never reach the loop() portion of your code!
                                        • MY_SMART_SLEEP_WAIT_DURATION_MS. Apparently MySensors has a 'smart sleep' feature, intended to save battery. If I understand correctly, when enabled, the nodes will sleep most of the time, and then wake up once in a while to see if the gateway has any messages for them. The node makes an agreement with the gateway about how often it will wake up, when, and for how long, beforehand. I wonder how it's different from: MY_SMART_SLEEP_WAIT_DURATION
                                        • MY_NODE_LOCK_FEATURE. If suspicious activity is detected the node will 'lock down'. I don't know what suspicious activity is, how it would be detected, and what a 'lock down' entails. Probably not sending any messages for a while?
                                        • MY_NODE_UNLOCK_PIN. Apparently nobody on the forum has every posted anything about this. It seems you can 'unlock' a 'locked down' node by pressing a physical button on it?
                                        • MY_NODE_LOCK_COUNTER_MAX Probably how often suspicious activity can happen before it enters lock-down? I wonder, does this count ever get lower? More importantly: if I never use this feature (who does?), can I avoid it using storage/memory in my nodes?
                                        • MY_WIFI_SSID (etc). I suspect a MySensors gateway can connect to your home network if you provide it with the necessary details.
                                        • MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS. Apparently there is a server mode. Not sure what that means.
                                        • MY_SPIFLASH_SST25TYPE This is probably used with over the air (OTA) flashing of nodes.

                                        On top of that it seems there are some more commands (that are not in the documentation?). Thanks to @mfalkvidd for this list.

                                        MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE ? It's optional. This adds an incoming messages buffer to your node (but only for NRF24 devices, and you need so set IRQ)". Useful for nodes that receive a lot of messages from the controller? What happens if you have a buffer for 5 messages, and a 6th arrives? (Ah, "The variable transportLostMessageCount will be increased for each lost message.") Does a node that acts as a gateway or repeater have this enabled?

I can't find anything about what it actually does. I did find that in a future version of MYSensors it will probably be disabled by default.

                                        • alowhumA alowhum

                                          I was working on creating the 'ultimate header' for all my devices. The documentation page that this thread refers to has left me with a lot of questions. Here's a list of what I think I understand, and the things that I don't.

                                          • MY_PARENT_NODE_ID. I suspect this refers to the node ID of the gateway, which would make it 0. Or can it also be used to manually point a specific repeater?
                                          • MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC. What is this? When would this matter? If I set a parent node ID manually, isn't it implied that it doesn't ever change already?
                                          • MY_REPEATER_FEATURE. Perhaps nice to explain that there is no downside to turning this on for every node (as long as the nodes don't run on batter and their code is non-blocking).
                                          • MY_DEBUG. perhaps mention that there is a tool to translate these into human readable form? Perhaps create a page with the most common errors and what they mean?
                                          • MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE. If I understand correctly, if you enable this it means that controller, and not the gateway itself, will be given control over whether or not new devices may be added to the network.
                                          • MY_INCLUSION_BUTTON_FEATURE. If I understand correctly, this is used by gateway nodes only, and means that you have to press a button on the gateway device before it will accept new nodes into the network. You then set the button's pin number with this: #define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_BUTTON_PIN
                                          • MY_SIGNING_SOFT. Signing is like a signature: it allows a node to say "this data really came from me". It protects your network from impostors. See also "my simple security. The "soft" version does this with code only. To do this well it needs a good source of random numbers, and one way of doing this is to listen to the noise on an arduino pin. MY_SIGNING_SOFT_RANDOMSEED_PIN allows you to set that pin.
                                            You can also buy devices that aid in this signing process. See: MY_SIGNING_ATSHA204
                                          • MY_RF24_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION. Encrypts the communication so that your neighbour can't listen in. See also "my simple security.
                                          • MY_RF24_CE_PIN. While you can't change all the pins that connect the radio to the Arduino, there are some that you can change. This is one of them.
                                          • MY_RF24_CS_PIN. This is the other.
                                          • MY_RF24_DATARATE. You can set at which speed the NRF24 radio communicates. Important to note is that this is all or nothing: all devices in the network should work at the same speed. Lower speed will create a more 'coarse' signal, and this will help improve wireless range. As most MySensors networks only send a little bit of data once in a while, a slow speed should be fine. You can try:
                                            #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS // fast
                                            #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_250KBPS // slow
                                          • MY_RF24_BASE_RADIO_ID ?
                                          • MY_SOFTSPI (et all) . Perhaps this can be used to use any pin on the Arduino to communicate with the radio. I don't know if this requires another Arduino library to support this.
                                          • MY_CORE_ONLY. I have no idea what the difference is. @Anticimex says: "core functions are things like the HAL and debug logging functionality. Framework means all the presentation message transmissions and handshaking. Basically, MY_CORE_ONLY allow you to leverage the functionality provided by the library without having the library execute things out of your control.". If you have to ask, then probably just don't use it :-)
                                          • MY_CORE_COMPATIBILITY_CHECK. As far as I can tell MySensors is remarkable backwards compatible: your gateway can be newer than your nodes. So I'm not sure when you would want to use this.
                                          • MY_TRANSPORT_SANITY_CHECK Once in a while checks that your radio is actually working. I don't know how you could use this. Perhaps if you see a lot of failures, and connection is temporarily working, then you could inform the controller about the radio slowly dying? More here.
                                          • MY_TRANSPORT_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL_MS. As far as I understand, the Gateway will once in a while shout "who is there" into the air. All the nodes can then respond. This allows new nodes to be included, even if something went wrong during the initial presentaiton phase? Perhaps it is also used to detect that some devices are no longer on the network? And then it can shrink the routing table? Perhaps this is like a server-side command to ask all nodes to do a 'sendHeartbeat();' ?
                                          • MY_TRANSPORT_UPLINK_CHECK_DISABLED. When you start a node, it will check if it can talk with the gateway. This skips that check. I suspect that this will then not be activated: if(isTransportReady()){ // do something }.
                                          • MY_TRANSPORT_MAX_TX_FAILURES. How often it will try to connect with the radio hardware? What happens when it fails a number of times? Does it give up? Retry later? What is "SNP"?
                                          • MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS. Very useful. You can tell a node to try connecting to the gateway for X seconds, but if it fails, it should just carry on. I usually set this to 10000 so that it will try connecting to the network for ten seconds, and then just continue starting the node. The default is 0, meaning that if a node can't connect to the gateway it will never reach the loop() portion of your code!
                                          • MY_SMART_SLEEP_WAIT_DURATION_MS. Apparently MySensors has a 'smart sleep' feature, intended to save battery. If I understand correctly, when enabled, the nodes will sleep most of the time, and then wake up once in a while to see if the gateway has any messages for them. The node makes an agreement with the gateway about how often it will wake up, when, and for how long, beforehand. I wonder how it's different from: MY_SMART_SLEEP_WAIT_DURATION
                                          • MY_NODE_LOCK_FEATURE. If suspicious activity is detected the node will 'lock down'. I don't know what suspicious activity is, how it would be detected, and what a 'lock down' entails. Probably not sending any messages for a while?
                                          • MY_NODE_UNLOCK_PIN. Apparently nobody on the forum has every posted anything about this. It seems you can 'unlock' a 'locked down' node by pressing a physical button on it?
                                          • MY_NODE_LOCK_COUNTER_MAX Probably how often suspicious activity can happen before it enters lock-down? I wonder, does this count ever get lower? More importantly: if I never use this feature (who does?), can I avoid it using storage/memory in my nodes?
                                          • MY_WIFI_SSID (etc). I suspect a MySensors gateway can connect to your home network if you provide it with the necessary details.
                                          • MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS. Apparently there is a server mode. Not sure what that means.
                                          • MY_SPIFLASH_SST25TYPE This is probably used with over the air (OTA) flashing of nodes.

                                          On top of that it seems there are some more commands (that are not in the documentation?). Thanks to @mfalkvidd for this list.

                                          MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE ? It's optional. This adds an incoming messages buffer to your node (but only for NRF24 devices, and you need so set IRQ)". Useful for nodes that receive a lot of messages from the controller? What happens if you have a buffer for 5 messages, and a 6th arrives? (Ah, "The variable transportLostMessageCount will be increased for each lost message.") Does a node that acts as a gateway or repeater have this enabled?

                                          MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS ? Can we set how many nodes may connect? Or perpahs this is more about how many simultaneous IP connections to IP-based gateways may be made (ethernet/wifi gateways).
                                          MY_GATEWAY_MAX_RECEIVE_LENGTH ? What does this do I wonder. I suspect it's for TCP/IP connections.

                                          One that was not in the list, but seems very useful:

                                          @alowhum well, based on my comment, in combination with your question, conclusion is: Do not use MY_CORE_ONLY ;)
                                          Also, the list of undocumented defines contain at least one define I know to be documented: MY_ENCRYPTION_SIMPLE_PASSWD. And that documentation is here:
                                          https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs/group__EncryptionSettingGrpPub.html#ga5161276ef64d05342dae2bdfc042e0bb

                                          You will probably find a lot more documentation in there.

                                          Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)
