Momentary Actuation?

tbully last edited by tbully

Hey All -

I'm working on a sensor where I will want to actuate something momentarily. Specifically, I want to send a stream of data via a 433mhz transmitter. But this could be as something as simple as latching/un-latching a relay (simulating a button-push, etc).

I'm not sure what device to use from a controller perspective.

Should I just use a switch that is normally in a state of "off"? When Vera sets the device to "on", do "whatever" in the sketch (set a bit in the sketch, etc), and then have the sketch turn the switch status back off in Vera? Seems like kind of a hack. Is there a "push button" device type?

@nagelc thank you for directing me to the log parser. It helped me to understand that my issue caused by lack of INCLUSION_MODE messages that is easily solved by uncommenting MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE in my gateway sketch. The second part of the question stays valid. I realize that choosing the "right" controller is much more than choosing the controller that works good with MySensors. Anyway, I appreciate any personal experience on that.

Hi @tamorgen - sorry for the reply to your old post (ignore if you've solve this already - or perhaps it's valuable still). Have you looked at the Reactor Plugin for Vera? (it's on Github too - by Patrick Rigney aka Rigpapa from the Vera Forums). I believe it runs on OpenLUUP as well if you were external to Vera. There are example use case videos on Youtube for it. It is a logic engine for LUUP - (if/then/else/and/or/not/timers). You can react to any variable or device state. (ie if door not locked, lock it, then unlock it). You can chain actions or conditions together as well. This was probably done in the past with PLEG, but I was never fond of PLEG so I wrote some conditional stuff directly in LUA, but since Reactor came along - it's so powerful, lightweight and a no brainer to use. I'm probably going to write some battery monitoring and door state monitoring with MySensors with it shortly. /Mark
