@Boots33 this your code is good, but there is a small issue .button work just when the connection is ok (radio with gateway) ! and when radio is disconnect or controller is off, so button dont work handy . do you have any idea for this ? that when controller is off the button work handy

@rayan
Hi
I do this eeprom clear and after that when i upload sketch for relay with buttons , this not working. Any communication with Gateway. Upload sketch successful write.

I need changes in code to button monostable. Now if i want enable RELAY i must still connect pin to GND by button. I want only give impuls GND and relay should have enable. Again give impuls GND should disable relay. The same as working Fibaro relay switch by Z-Wave.

In code should be add option to select buttons:
-Monostable
-Bistable

[rayan]

@pepson
i am beginner and i hope some one help to you

[pepson]

Maybe @Boots33 or @SGi help us please

Here is an example that I'm using with 4 relays and 4 monostable buttons:

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24

#define SN "RelayButtonArray"

#define RELAY_OFF 1
//

#define noRelays 4                     //2-4
const int relayPin[] = {14, 15, 16, 17};       //  switch around pins to your desire
const int buttonPin[] = {6, 7, 4, 5};   //  switch around pins to your desire

@pepson The sketch i have in my first post at the top of the page will work for a push button. the one you are using has been modified for use with a toggle switch.

[pepson]

ok i test your first sketch. But maybe you can create sketch where we can setvin sketch what button we want use ?

[korttoma]

I'm the sketch I'm using you can freely define what pins you want to use:

const int relayPin[] = {14, 15, 16, 17};       //  switch around pins to your desire
const int buttonPin[] = {6, 7, 4, 5};   //  switch around pins to your desire

As far as I know that is the way Mysensors works at the moment, if the node boots up and cannot find the gateway then it wont run the loop part of the sketch.
If the gateway drops out after the node has booted then the loop part of the sketch will still run while the node tries to re-establish the connection. Because the sketch relies on an ACK back from the gateway to toggle the relay it still wont work if the gateway is down.

You could modify the sketch so it does not rely on the ACK. This would at least allow it to work if the gateway goes down after the node has booted.
Another way to ensure the switch will operate would be to add some circuit to override the node, like discussed Here

Have made a quick change to the sketch so it does not need the ACK. I have not tried it but give it a go and see if it works

[pepson]

ok then i test it.
But can you also add option to set mode button ? Bistable and monostable ?

[rayan]

@Boots33
ack is important , so we can not found any solution for this ? for exapmle add a code to this sketch , that when radio is disconnect so without ack work and when radio is ok this way stop and with ack work again.
this idea is for when a radio have problem or fail or other reason... so this light or other divece dont stop working and work handy when radio go to correct or change radio....

if you can change your code and add this option , so your sketch is best code for light control

[pepson]

@korttoma your sketch not working for me. I change numer relay to 2 and change pin buttons and relay and not control relay.

@Boots33
Ok i correct your sketch and use:

On this sketches it works ok. After power down and then power back all relays go to OFF and correct send info to Gateway and Domoticz that relays is OFF. But when Gateway is available.

But problem is when GATEWAY is not awailable when power for node come back.
If before lost power relay is ON and then power lost , and gateway is lost, and then power back to Node it goes to OFF all relay. It is ok.But when Gateway come back and now is available still show in Domoticz that relay is ON(on begin was ON). But Node should update status info after Gateway come back and is now available. But no update and show in Domoticz latest status.

It is very need and then this sketches will be the best for lights :)

When power lost and then come back, Node with sketches faster start then start Raspberry with Domoticz and connect Gateway Serial MySensors. An in this situation status is not update in Gateway/Domoticz.

Please help us. please

There have been a few threads about the issue of nodes not running the loop part of the sketch if a connection to the gateway cannot be established. Have a look Here and Here for a bit more info. It is a feature I am sure many would like to see in the next version of MySensors. For the moment MySensors does not support 100% what you want to do.

If you want to combine the two versions of the sketches you will need to have a method to check whether a connection to the gateway is present. You could try something like this in the loop.

if (isTransportOK()){

    // put code to execute when connection is available here

  } 
  else {

    // put code to execute when no connection is available here

  }

You will be adding a fair bit of complexity to the sketch. Can you tell me why the ACK is so important for you.

[pepson]

What is ACK ?

And can you show me all code with your if transport is ok to send update status to gateway...but if transport is wrong example try send every 1 minut and stop when send is good.

I am begginner sorry

Did you know any info that this function will be implement in next version as you write in latest your post ?

[rayan]

@Boots33
ack is a feedback . is this true ? so when i am out of home and i want turn on light , so ack show me that light is on or no ! also when there is a problem in connection and ack dont receive, so node search and found a new way for connection.
now i dont have a arduino and radio for test :) but do you think this code will be ok ?without else.

void loop()
{
 if (!isTransportOK())
{
if (...)            //if change switch to up or down
...                 //change state of relay
if(isTransportOK())
send(msg.set(state ? true : false), true);  // (last state)
}
  
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
  int value = debouncer.read();
  if (value != oldValue && value == 0) {
    send(msg.set(state ? false : true), true); // Send new state and request ack back
  }
  oldValue = value;
}

(i can not work with Bounce2 library :) ) please help to fill lines
in loop we add a "if (!isTransportOK())" and write when change switch (on/off) state of relay change and this is repeat until connection will be ok ! so send a ack and for continue follow your code...
is this right ? can you do this change ?

[pepson]

Hi
I can test it but i must have finall code because i dont know what code i must put in (...). I am begginer user and i dont know how write programming.

[rayan]

@pepson

@Boots33 can solve this maybe because i dont work with Bounce2 lib.

[pepson]

Ok but can you give me ready code which i must put in code to my relays and then i test it.

[rayan]

@pepson
i dont have a ready sketch! wait to boots answer
