[Solved]Radio Error on Sensor

martim

Hi,

I am a starter. I build my gateway and this seems to work! No error messages and when I attach a local sensor and I can see this information on the controller (Homey). But when I create a sensor device I get and error in the logging which I do not understand. I spend the whole day but I cannot find the issue. Tried different nrf24l01 radio modules but no change.

See logging below. What could be wrong?

@martim This is a common power-related issue. Try adding a larger cap on your radio(s) (>=10uF)

I tried this already but no differences (tried 4,7 uF until 47uF). Below I have the start log where something is about an CHKID fail:

@martim That looks already better:
(1) make sure to add a large cap on both, GW and node
(2) your controller software does not appear to assign IDs (hence the CHKID:FAIL) - set a static ID using:

#define NODE_ID 123

martim

@tekka

Thanks for helping!

I already have this in my code. This is the code for my Node:

#define MY_BAUD_RATE 115200

// Enable debug prints
#define MY_DEBUG

#define OPEN 1
#define CLOSE 0


// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24

#include <MySensors.h>

#define NODE_ID 123

MyMessage msg(NODE_ID, V_TRIPPED);
uint8_t value = OPEN;

void setup()
{
}

void presentation() {
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo("Dummy sensor", "1.0");

   present(NODE_ID, S_DOOR);
}

void loop()
{
    value = value == OPEN ? CLOSE : OPEN;
    send(msg.set(value));
    sleep(10000);
}

and it still gives this message? Can this be an error in the Gateway?

mfalkvidd

@martim


#define NODE_ID 123

must be done before

#include <MySensors.h>

thanks. But still same error!?!

mfalkvidd

@martim and you followed tekka's recommendation on adding capacitors?

martim

@mfalkvidd

Yes I did. 47uF

@martim Please post the full debug log from your GW and node.

@martim the node is still requesting an ID. Are you sure you moved the #define NODE_ID 123 ?

My Sensor 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.

@martim uupps, my bad - should be MY_NODE_ID instead of NODE_ID

martim

@tekka

That was indeed the trick This is really awesome.

Final question. The Node register know with the GW if I am correct. And when I change a port how fast is this send to the gateway?

I would like to connect a doorbell and use an interrupt when someone is pressing on the doorbell.

mfalkvidd

@martim the current code sleeps 10 seconds. So it might take up to 10 seconds before a press is registered. The sleep can be modified to wake on interrupt instead. See https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#sleeping for general i formation about the sleep function and https://www.mysensors.org/build/motion for an example that wakes on interrupt.
