Off the shelf motion sensor

Michael Erbacher last edited by

Hi All,

I'm looking for recommendations to plug an off the shelf motion sensor into Node Red. I'be been playing around with an SR-501 / espeasy setup which work fine but is currently failing the WAF threshold.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Well, I'm back again, because it broke again ... and I fixed it somehow again. I was playing around with my sensor to get it up and running the way I want it to and resetted its node id. It couldn't get a new node ID and I was back where I was yesterday. Deleted everything, rebuild the complete flow, restarted everything. Nothing helped. So I added debug messages everywhere and also had a look into the raw Serial protocol here: https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 It looks like you don't need the encode and decode, at least for me the encode after myscontroller totally destroyed the payload. Why did it work yesterday? I have no idea. The payload looked fine now without the decode and encode according to the protocol, but it still didn't work. I noticed that the incoming TCP payload always ended with a linefeed "\n", so I added a custom function between the myscontroller and tcp output to also add a linefeed to the outgoing payload and it's working again.

I reply to myself, I succeeded to make it work. The \n was missing in the payload before sending it back to the gateway. This took me months to see this... Works like a charm now, I just need to implement the inclusion feature in NodeRED.

You're welcome! I've used node red like you are doing for some times and it works well. Since around 1-2 years I'm using home assistant as controller, and node red for the logic in automations. Home assistant makes life much easier, as it for example takes care of filling data into influxdb automatically

@pansen FYI, I just released a small bug fix for the mysensors node-red module.. So now it should show the correct node ID's in the controller view.

@SuperNinja I'm afraid I didn't keep it. On the other hand, linking actuators to sensors was (and still is) very straightforward. Most flows dealt with voice recognition, which has become a lot easier to implement nowadays.
