Heartbeat error ?



  • Hi,

    I have a relay node that don't have any sensors, and therefore don't have communication between the vera and the node. like this 0_1476877480815_upload-2c34fc65-9174-4f19-8dcb-9a2ea935b695

    So I have been playing with heartbeat and I cas see in serial log local on the node that it is transmitted.

    BUT my node in VERA dont update the last update time : Is tyhis how is sopose to be or do I something wrong?

    Here are my code :

    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

    According to the Controller compatibility list Vera does not yet support heartbeat -> https://www.mysensors.org/controller



  • @korttoma
    😢 I did not see that 😢
    Is there any plan for implementing this ?

    You can just send the last state every HEARTBEAT_TIME... should have the same effect.
