Some advise needed for the first project SerialGW and MotionSensor



  • Hello,

    I just have started to use mysensors which I have the feeling that I can do a lot with my projects but I've stuck in the first project of using serial gateway with Arduino nano and motion detector with Arduino uno.
    I just have used the example sketches and used 10micoF 16V capacitors but can not able to register sensor client.
    I have updated Arduino ide to latest version but this also had not helped.
    I also have ran Clear EepromConfig successfully but this has not helped either..

    Please find the output from serial monitor of the sensor client below. After TSM:PDT it loops back to TSM:INIT.

    Please advise where I should check or how to overcome "!TSM:CHKID:FAIL (ID=255)"

    Thanks a lot



  • I have revised all wiring and reinstalled latest library. I just have switched gateway and sensor nodes.
    I've checked that after TSP:MSG:SEND 255-255-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok: in sensor side there should be a TSP:MSG:READ line then TSP:ASSIGNID:OK but this is not happening.

    Any idea where I have to check? I've stuck in my project.

    I'm just using example sketches in have not changed anything

    Your help is appreciated. Thanks


  • Hero Member

    @emrsen The node is asking for an ID. The ID is given out by a controller or you have to use static IDs in your sensor sketch.



  • Thanks for the reply I shall try



  • @TimO thanks for responding but I still can not get the ID from controller. I also have tried to set ID in node manually as 0 but this had not helped either.

    I think I'm missing a very basic dumb thing please check the setup I've listed below and added sketches I've used and output log files.

    As far as I understand from the output logs : Node requests ID from Gateway and I see that gateway also receives data from node but gateway do not respond to the node creating and delivering an ID.

    Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

    I've re-setup both Gateway and node from scratch. I've downloaded latest lib. from github. I also have cleared the eprom of the Node.

    Gateway I used Arduino nano clone and NRF24L01+(not the powerful model with antenna) used 10 micF condensator as described. Code I've used created from example of Serial Gateway as below

     * DESCRIPTION
     * The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link.
     * The gateway accepts input on seral which will be sent out on radio network.
     *
     * The GW code is designed for Arduino Nano 328p / 16MHz
     *
     * Wire connections (OPTIONAL):
     * - Inclusion button should be connected between digital pin 3 and GND
     * - RX/TX/ERR leds need to be connected between +5V (anode) and digital pin 6/5/4 with resistor 270-330R in a series
     *
     * LEDs (OPTIONAL):
     * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
     *

    @emrsen the gateway does not assign IDs. The controller does. Are you using a controller?

    ID 0 is reserved for the gateway. Node IDs need to be 1-254 if you want to assign it manually. See https://www.mysensors.org/about/network for details.



  • @mfalkvidd Thanks a lot for the enlightment I'm not using a controller I've just asumed that gateway will be fine to manage the Nodes which is the dumb thing I was missing.

    I've started to work on selecting a controller.

    Can anyone advise which controller is most easy to setup and integrate for a newbee? I have Raspberry Pi3 at home hosting Blynk Server which I plan to setup on this platform.

    Thanks again for the help and support so far.


  • Hero Member

    Well, Domoticz is very easy to setup and the integration is good. I personally prefer OpenHAB2 because of the wide range of supported hardware. But the setup is definitely more advanced.



  • @TimO Thanks for the info I shall work on it at the weekend shall update about my progress 🙂



  • See here on another thread for what I did to make things work. It seems with Uno clones, you have to supply separate power (the USB does not supply enough juice).
    https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4896/solved-mysensors-node-not-working-trouble-finding-parent-node
    N.B. When testing without a controller, the only code change you need to do is to add a line in the sensor node code to set the node id (see link for more details)



  • @TimO said:

    Domoticz
    Thanks for the advise



  • Thanks all you guys, now my first experimental system is working 🙂 👍
