Problem with sketch 8ch relay 4 buttons 1 motion sensor



  • I am trying to create a sketch to handle 8ch relay, 4 buttons, 3 motion sensors, 3 temp sensors and a dimmer.
    So far i have 8ch relay, 4 buttons, 1 motion sensor running. The rest is added when i got this stable.
    Relay i attached as done in the Irrigation controller sensor
    The 4 buttons are meant to toggle the first 4 relays.

    All seems to work fine for some hours, then the sketch stops accepting incoming messages.
    The buttons works just fine.
    I have tried to put in some prints to serial to see where it stops, but it does not help me

    The second problem is that it acts as a repeater node, but i have not put the "#define MY_REPEATER_NODE" in.
    I would like it to stop act as repeater.

    the code:

    #include <MySensor.h>
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include "Bounce2.h"
    
    #define MY_DEBUG
    
    #define USE_MOTION_SENSOR
    #define MOTION_SENSOR_PIN    19
    #define RELAY_ON 0                      // switch around for realy HIGH/LOW state
    #define RELAY_OFF 1
    
    Bounce motionsDebouncer = Bounce();
    //
    MySensor gw;
    
    #define RADIO_ID 11                    // radio Id, whatever channel you assigned to
    //#define noRelays 8
    const int relayPin[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}; //  switch around pins to your desire
    const int buttonPin[] = {A0, A1, A2, A3}; //  switch around pins to your desire
    
    class Relay             // relay class, store all relevant data (equivalent to struct)
    {
    public: 
      int buttonPin;                    // physical pin number of button
      int relayPin;                     // physical pin number of relay
      byte oldValue;                    // last Values for key (debounce)
      boolean relayState;               // relay status (also stored in EEPROM)
    };
    
    //#define RELAY_1  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)
    #define RELAY_ON 1  // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay
    #define RELAY_OFF 0 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay
    
    ////Pin connected to Data in (DS) of 74HC595
    const int dataPin = 6;

    const int latchPin = 7;

    }
    

    Any suggestions to what i can improve to solve it is most appreciated.

    Thanks,

  • Looks like I have fixed it myself
    This sensor-node was very close to the gw-node.
    Moved it further away and problem seems to be gone 😃


  • Mod

    Great work @pryning, thanks for reporting back. Hopefully it can help someone else with a similar problem in the future.
