Relay not reacting first 3 seconds
-
Hello all,
I have the following sketch working with a pimatic installation. When i switch on the relay nothing happens
when i keep switching it on and off than after 2 or 3 times it starts reacting. But every time i wait a couple of seconds
i have to switch it on and off a couple of times before it reacts. This is th epimatic log output if i switch it on the first time.debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;!TSF:MSG:LEN,2!=7 19:53:48debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSF:MSG:READ,25-12-0,s=0,c=0,t=0,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:STP 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- Presented Node [ '0', '255', '0', '0', '18', '2.1.1' ] 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:GW MODE 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:TSP OK 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSF:WUR:MS=0 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA--,VER=2.1.1 19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;!TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-5-5,s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:1 19:45:44debug [pimatic-mysensors]: -> Sending 5;1;1;1;2;1if it starts reacting i get this output.

@derksuh Could you check, if your GW is rebooting all the time?
The debug message19:45:45debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA--,VER=2.1.1looks like a reboot to me.
Root cause could be a faulty AVR board definition (should be latest (1.6.18+) or <=1.6.11). Affected: Serial GWs and Ethernet-GW's.

@rejoe2 said in Relay not reacting first 3 seconds:
AVR board definition
If this is the problem then could i do something about it?

@derksuh For information which version of the board defs you use (and for up- and downgrading also): Within the Arduino IDE you can just use the boardmanager (Tools menue, as far as I remember) to do this...
