ESP8266 actuator keepalive?

Jan Gatzke 15 Jan 2017, 07:37 last edited by

When using an esp8266 actuator the connection is established by the controller. When the node is restarted this connection gets lost. This is why I set the data timeout to 1 minute in Domoticz. Now I have the problem, that Domoticz reconnects once a minute because the node is an pure actuator and does not send any data. I tried to use the sendkeepalive() function in the main loop every 30 seconds, but Domoticz still drops the connection. Next step would be to request the time from the controller or anything similar. Or is there any obvious solution I just don't see?

@karenbobiv I doubt it's related to the MySensors communication. Are you using a Dallas temp sensor? Could you check that the is actually connected to the dallas sensor by using isConnected(). When googling your problem I found a few hits on -196.6 which is the error code (DEVICE_DISCONNECTED) converted to Fahrenheit. Start debug mode (Config.h) to see what the sensor actually sends.

@Bren Did you set you script to "on"?

the problem is "if (switch.state == 'On') then" that not works, write: if (switch.active) then or if (switch.inActive) then Device attributes and methods for all devices

@zboblamont OK, so experiments concluded that the return data from the latest version of Domoticz is a String whether it be V_VARx or V_TEXT. I tried the dual declaration using the same CHILD_ID as intended and as VAR_X (using an RF24 - not sure of the relevance) and the actual value sent but failed to make any sense of abstracting the Ulong conversion or the string. Only by presenting a fresh CHILD_ID and duplicating the send of data (water meter) as a V_VAR1 could I recover the last sent reading as a V_VAR1 from that fresh CHILD_ID, thence eventually arriving at 'strtoul' as a solution to restoring the last known value. For clarity my Gateway and Controller run on a UPS, and I hope shortly to add the spare router to that UPS so I'm not left in the dark on what is happening in the dark on a battery powered laptop... Hope this helps others trying to keep track of meters between relentless power cuts and reboots...

Save the script directly from Windows and test if it can be opened in Domoticz.
