Sketch problem



  • I have a sketch with some sensors. But the two that plays a part in this drama is the Temperature sensor and a Relay.
    Every time when the sketch report a new temperature value I also get a SET message for the relay.

    If you need to see the whole sketch let me know.

    This is how I report the new temperature.

    MyMessage tempMsg(TEMP_ID, V_TEMP);
    send(tempMsg.set(tempC, 1));
    

    And this is the output from MYSController:

    688	2016-10-16 11:40:33	RX	1 - FishTank	1 - Water temperature	C_SET	NO	V_TEMP	25.7
    690	2016-10-16 11:40:35	RX	1 - FishTank	2 - Water valve	C_SET	YES	V_LIGHT	0
    691	2016-10-16 11:40:39	RX	1 - FishTank	1 - Water temperature	C_SET	NO	V_TEMP	26.2
    692	2016-10-16 11:40:39	RX	1 - FishTank	2 - Water valve	C_SET	YES	V_LIGHT	0
    694	2016-10-16 11:40:45	RX	1 - FishTank	1 - Water temperature	C_SET	NO	V_TEMP	26.1
    695	2016-10-16 11:40:45	RX	1 - FishTank	2 - Water valve	C_SET	YES	V_LIGHT	0
    697	2016-10-16 11:41:03	RX	1 - FishTank	1 - Water temperature	C_SET	NO	V_TEMP	26.0
    698	2016-10-16 11:41:03	RX	1 - FishTank	2 - Water valve	C_SET	YES	V_LIGHT	0
    700	2016-10-16 11:41:09	RX	1 - FishTank	1 - Water temperature	C_SET	NO	V_TEMP	25.9
    701	2016-10-16 11:41:09	RX	1 - FishTank	2 - Water valve	C_SET	YES	V_LIGHT	0

    @raptorjr I cannot find the cause 😕 What does the serial output of the node tell you?



  • @AWI

    It is kind of the same thing. Every time I report a temperature, the receive function get triggered. And when temperature is not changed and reported, no message about the relay.

    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min Output Liquid Quantity: 0.03L
    Temperature=25.20, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min Output Liquid Quantity: 0.03L
    Incoming change for sensor:2, New status: 0
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.20
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min Output Liquid Quantity: 0.03L
    Incoming change for sensor:2, New status: 0
    Incoming change for sensor:2, New status: 0
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min Output Liquid Quantity: 0.03L
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min Output Liquid Quantity: 0.03L
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10

    @raptorjr can you switch debug on? #define MY_DEBUG . It could be possible that the controller sends an Ack..



  • @AWI

    There is something about ACK that I did see in the MYSController. Every relay message has ACK = YES. Can that be a problem, and what can I do about it?

  • Hero Member

    @raptorjr It is good practice to use "ACK" when actuating a switch. That way you the controller can check if the message arrived (if the action took place). To debug you should look at the debug log to see what kind of message's are actually sent and received.



  • @AWI

    This is what I get with debug turned on:

    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min  Output Liquid Quantity: 0.00L
    Temperature=25.00, LastTemp=25.10
    TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:25.0
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min  Output Liquid Quantity: 0.00L
    TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-1,s=2,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
    TSF:MSG:ACK REQ
    TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=2,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:0
    Incoming change for sensor:2, New status: 0
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.00
    !TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:25.1
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min  Output Liquid Quantity: 0.00L
    Temperature=25.10, LastTemp=25.10
    Flow rate: 0.0L/min  Output Liquid Quantity: 0.00L
