Vera Plus and MySensors Local Serial Gateway

Tried both Vera-dev and Vera-UI7 github channels.. no luck.. maybe the problem is in this lines:

02	10/27/16 16:59:39.756	luup_log:133: Arduino: Incoming internal command '0;255;3;0;11;Arduino_USB' discarded for child: nil <0x717a6520>
02	10/27/16 16:59:39.757	luup_log:133: Arduino: Incoming internal command '0;255;3;0;12;1.0' discarded for child: nil <0x717a6520>

But cant handle and understand this errors...

I haven't tried the Vera plugin with locally attached sensors. Took another look at the code but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

Might be good to introduce some more log-entries in the plugin lua code to see where it fails.

Mmm, will try.. but I am new to LUA)) So will try to understand it.
I am clicking start include and then reset my gateway, right?
As you see the problem is in gateway inclusion and discarded commands

@hek

And which branch I should use? development or UI7 ?

hek

Think they are the same at the moment.

Still can't see in code why it get discarded.. Saw that there is discard for 1.0 versions in payload - changed to 2.0 in my sketch - no luck.

Here is my sketch, look plz maybe somewhere is an error, but took here on forum from some member who has it working on Vera:

As I understand the code, when I reset gateway and it was in inclusion mode - I get here:

elseif (messageType==msgType.PRESENTATION) then
log("Presentation: ".. s)
presentation(incomingData, device, childId, altId)

But I don't see any code in presentation function that belongs to creation of new device in Vera...
I see creation at processInternalMessage, but it would not run as I get Presentation: 0;255;0;0;17;2.0.1-beta , but for inclusion it should be Presentation: 0;255;3;0;17;2.0.1-beta ? (message_type 3, not 0 as 0 do nothing with dev inclusion)

Can't find any obvious error in the sketch.

The creation process starts after inclusion mode ends.. see my link above.

Nope, I am sorry, but you are wrong... In case of local sensor it would not start(and I tested that with debug log in each function).
Made some test function called processInclusion and now I got new devices listed) But because I am not a coder and don't know LUA - need to polish it a bit.
The problem is that I need to push reset button on arduino, after that gateway send presentation BUT without internal type of message! So there is two ways:
1 - make function for just inclusion process and put in right after presentation fujnction(pice of code from processInternal** function)
2 - Make gateway to send some internal command right after presentation(not tested)

First way tested, but I need to reset gateway same quantity of times as I have external sensors. So each new sensor is added after each reset.

(Edited post)

Thought all night about my problem and it's solution... Just was one thought that dev's of mysensors plugin can't make mistake in old tested plugin) Reviewed plugin code once again and understood it's logic. So first we get called Presentation function which stores new devices in array and than we should get command from gateway about finished inclusion process and plugin start to add devices to Vera. So the problem is: when we don't use radio and only local sensors we don't get message about inclusion finish! )

Solution is to send this message manually from gateway right after presentation processes. Should look like 0;255;3;0;5;0

So I have added this lines to my Arduino sketch in presentation function:

Serial.print("0;255;3;0;5;0");
  Serial.print("\n");

This solution will work without coding to existing Vera plugin :)

(Sorry, didn't found any other way to send this message like with MyMessage container)

briskspirit

@hek , maybe you could help to do that more right? And I think that this should be added to GitHub as a bug for 2.0.1-dev lib version (don't have an account on git)
