No ID assigned by gateway.

[Suresh Mali]

Hi Folks,

I am building a dimmer, I am unable to understand some of the abbreviations used in the 2.0Lib. The serial output is as below.

TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
Starting sensor (RNNNA-, 2.0.0)
TSM:INIT
TSM:RADIO:OK

TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
TSM:FPAR
TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
TSM:FPAR
TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
TSM:FPAR
TSP:MSG:SEND 2-2-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=bc:
!TSM:FPAR:FAIL
!TSM:FAILURE

Could somebody please help me understand the terms used like TSP, TSM, FPAR.

My code is as below, I am unable to register the node in Domoticz. Could somebody be kind enough to help me and point out if anything is wrong here.

For this you can refer, on source code or on doc page on jenkins

I do not know about Domoticz. I never worked on this controller.

@hek do we host this doc somewhere on mysensors.org website?

No, I haven't found a good way of integrating it into the main site yet (with the same look and feel). There is a few links to the doc on the main site though.

Looks like we have customize option on doxygen

I am still unable to figure out why the node is not getting registered on gateway.

What could be the failure here. Itried clearing the EEPROM on both Gateway and Node, changed power supply on Node, but nothing is working.
I know Gateway is fine because I had another node and it sends data and it shows up on Gateway.
Somebody please help. Thanks

[Suresh Mali]

I tried debugging with MYSController. It seems the node and gateway are not communicating. The Gateway receives the messages but does not assigns ID to node. I tried assigning static ID to both Node and Gateway, but its fails.
What started as Dimmer module not working has turned to no communication between nodes on 2.0lib.
I'll probably wait until the MySensors 2.0 lib is stable and there is proper documentation. For now rolling back to 1.5lib seems the best choice I have got.

The forum is there to help but it has mix of 1.5 and 2.0 lib its like hunting in a haystack for documentation and support. Please find a way to separate the 2.0 and below 2.0 lib. Thanks

[Suresh Mali]

After filding around a lot with the MySensor2.0 lib and spending my whole weekend, when I could not get things going I finally switched back to MySensors1.5.4. After that I made quick progress and my node was on network. Here is the link below of a working Dimmer node.
