💬 NodeManager

cpl_ir

Hi, I am starting with MySensors and I read about the NodeManager. But I have a problem with starting with the nodemanager. I tried to make a node with a BMP280 sensor and a NRF24. Every time I tried I got the following error message
when compiling (nodemanager actual version, arduino IDE1.8.5). Even no other sensor works.

What is the reason, can anyone help me?

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P"

@cpl_ir super weird, looks like the linker cannot find NodeManager's object file. Are you sure all NodeManager's files are within the same directory? NodeManager cannot be installed as a standard Arduino's library but all the files need to be in the same directory of your main sketch. Thanks!

Hello, I have been experimenting with the door sensor example and have configured to wake up every hour to send a battery voltage (V_VOLTAGE)
It will also wake whenever the interrupt state on the switch pin changes. I noticed that when the node wakes up with an interrupt it seems to send three events:
I_POST_SLEEP_NOTIFICATION
V_TRIPPED (this is the important one)
I_PRE_SLEEP_NOTIFICATION
this is all good, however for my application it would be useful if it were to also send a V_VOLTAGE battery measurement along with the V_TRIPPED event.
I'm not yet completely familiar with how the nodemanager sketch links together, but is it possible for the sensor readings for all sensors to be sent on an interrupt from any other sensor so I can make use of the radio as much as possible?

user2684

@arthurdented the I_POST_SLEEP_NOTIFICATION and I_PRE_SLEEP_NOTIFICATION are due to smart sleep which is on by default. Regarding the V_VOLTAGE I think what it comes closer to your need would be a SensorBattery configured with a very short reporting interval but regardless, when an interrupt occurs, no sensors other than the one associated with the interrupt would execute their main function. For your specific use case you can try changing or tweaking the condition at this line to make it working in the way you need: https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager/blob/master/NodeManagerLibrary.ino#L4700

can anyone explain me the signal node? i get this values with setReportIntervalSeconds(1);

Felix Haverkamp

is there a possibilty to only send values if the value has changed?

user2684

@felix-haverkamp the signal node is supposed to send the RSSI when the radio supports it. What you are looking at is a v1.7 bug, fixed in the dev branch of v1.8. If you want an easy fix without the need to upgrade, just remove the uint32_t cast at line 5017 of NodeManagerLibrary.ino (https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager/blob/master/NodeManagerLibrary.ino#L5017).
To send the values only if the value has changed, you need first of all to turn FEATURE_CONDITIONAL_REPORT on, then you can use setValueDelta() and setForceUpdateMinutes() of the Child class to achieve what you are looking for

Felix Haverkamp

@user2684
thx, that is what was what i am looking for.

Felix Haverkamp

@user2684
FEATURE_CONDITIONAL_REPORT & setValueDelta()

would be nice for other users to document this function. With this i am able to only send values to the gateway when its changed. Using it for a Light Sensor and dont need the value every 10 seconds and not every 10 Minutes....
Just when it changes (1 second) and only when it changes.

user2684

@felix-haverkamp if you set setValueDelta() to e.g. 0.1 or 0.01, then the sensor will not report if the value has not changed, if I have understood correctly your point. setValueDelta() will set the minimum difference (+ or -) that the new value should have in order to be reported. Let me know I've misunderstood something. Thanks

Felix Haverkamp

@user2684 i just mean, we have to put this is the documentation.

currently i have a strange problem:

the Motion Sensors doesnt reset. I checked with my old Motion sketch and everything is fine.
Only sends the Value "1".

@felix-haverkamp got it, thanks, I've opened this issue https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager/issues/366.

Regarding the sensor motion, weird, by default should attach to CHANGE interrupt so to intercept both. Any chance to share NodeManager's debug log as well? Thanks

Felix Haverkamp

@user2684
i think conditional report is the problem:

#define FEATURE_CONDITIONAL_REPORT ON

without it works fine.

user2684

Every new version of NodeManager, I try to review and hopefully improve its architecture. This time looked like a simple and quick task but eventually ended up in a complete and deep review of the code. Many many many things have changed with the main objective to better integrate with the MySensors library and simplify the life of users willing to contribute or to add support for new sensors.

The new file structure (with a dedicated file for each supported sensor) and the way the package is delivered (as an arduino library now) go into this direction. There are also included a good amount of new features but still in most of the cases, resulting a smaller code.

All the details are available at https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager/pull/391 which will be merged into the development branch shortly.

Due to the many changes, if anybody would be willing to give it a try and report any bug, would be really great. Thanks!

Just wanted to say that NodeManager is awesome. I can't believe I only now really had a better look at what it is. I always thought it was some kind of software you had to install, and that it was used by professionals to manage complicated sensor nets.

For the last few months I've been thinking "wouldn't it be useful if there was some kind of beginner friendly web interface where you could select which devices you want, and then it creates the code for you". This is so close to that. Thank you for this incredible work!

user2684

@alowhum many thanks for the feedback, really appreciated!

Is it possible to "force" send SensorDoor value regularly?

I am using magnetic sensor together with interrupt feature but when sensor status is change too fast before main loop is finished, sensor value remains in wrong state until magnetic sensor value is physically changed again.

So I would like to set that SensorDoor value will be set regularly like e.g. temperature sensors values. I tried to add:

door.setReportIntervalMinutes(5);

But it does not work in this case. Value is not reported based on this interval. Only way how to get SensorDoor value back to right state is physically change its value (open/close magnetic sensors).

Btw Nodemanager is really awsome. Great work!

Hi, I need some advice for my following problem..:

Situation: Arduino ist connected to an raspberry gateway with openhab -> works just fine.
To the arduino I have connected a PIR on 3 and a photoresistor (LDR) with an 10k resistor on A0 -> works just fine.
On first boot (after connecting etc.) the arduino sends motion status + LDR value. But after that first msg. only the motion (tripped) is send.
What I want: I want that the arduino sleeps until there is an interrupt comming from the PIR and then sends the motion status+light value (LDR) and then sleeps again 4ever until the next interrupt.
Problem: As I said, it only sends the light value only once.. and then never again. On the arduino debug I can see, that only motion is send:
NodeManager v1.7
LIB V=2.3.0 R=N E=X T=N A=A S=S B=-
LDR I=1 P=16 T=23
MOTION I=2 P=1 T=16
RADIO...OK
PRES I=1 T=16 D=LDR
PRES I=2 T=1 D=MOTION
READY

MY I=5 M=255
INT P=3, V=0
INT P=3 M=1
INT P=2 M=255
MOTION I=2 P=3 V=0
SEND D=0 I=2 C=0 T=16 S= I=0 F=0.00
LDR I=1 V=352 %=34 <-- first an last time LDR sends it's value
SEND D=0 I=1 C=0 T=23 S= I=0 F=0.00
INT P=3, V=1
MOTION I=2 P=3 V=1
SEND D=0 I=2 C=0 T=16 S= I=0 F=0.00
INT P=3, V=0
MOTION I=2 P=3 V=0
SEND D=0 I=2 C=0 T=16 S= I=0 F=0.00
...
Hope you can help me :grimacing: many thanks in advance :-)

@fausti
ok, I have solved it myself - the PIR made all that trouble.
I did connect the PIR on 3.3V (similar to https://forum.mysensors.org/uploads/upload-4bdca27e-3c36-4c68-9e54-947b9f4717b4.jpg).

Problem was, that when arduino wakes up the radio, the power drop would kinda restart the PIR, which causes an interrupt. Think a similar problem was discussed here:
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6511/hc-sr501-3-3v-randomly-sends-tripped-when-radio-is-on

Anyways - you surly would have helped, if i would not have found it. Great forum! :-)

user2684

@jiri-hron I think you can achieve what you need by using FEATURE_TIME. In this way when woken up, NodeManager will go back to sleep only for the remainder time left. Not ideal but I couldn't find a better way to understand for how long the node has been sleeping before the interrupt.
