Example.

1. The server turned on the relay at 11 hours 00 minutes.
   2.In 11-02 minutes. Alarm with relay module power.
   3.In 11-05 minutes the server sends a command to turn off the relay.
2. in 11-30 minutes. The power to the relay module resumes. (Relay Enabled)
3. Server status is off (Relay is on)
4. The result - the neighbors below are happy to repair: (

Question. How to request real relay status from the server.

[Boots33]

@AndreD have a look here for a bit of info on requesting status.

I'm having trouble getting Domoticz to see any more than 1 relay. I've tried the MySensors example basic relay sketch and no luck. Then I tried this one (which is amazing btw as I want to have a PIR independent of the relays) and the same problem.

I've tried to present the sensors individually without the FOR statement, and added a delay between presentation in case that was an issue, also I've tried different output pins on the Arduino, and I've tried multiple boards... Nothing has worked

I am very much an enthusiastic amateur, so any advice on what to try next much appreciated

Thanks in advance

@Ben-Andrewes My domoticz instance behaves weirdly with relay sketches too. Maybe you can find some help here: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7101/domoticz-relay-node-doesn-t-show-up-in-devices/21

[Ben Andrewes]

@thierryd Thanks for the reply. In case it helps anyone I ended up individually defining and presenting the relays and their parameters within the sketch rather than using the FOR statement and it worked fine.

[gohan]

Did you try to add a small delay in the presentation?

[Ben Andrewes]

@gohan - yep added wait(100) between each sensor. To be honest I made a number of small changes without re-uploading and testing between so I'm not sure what solved it... Oh well, at least it works now :)

Hello! Sorry for my english. This sketch works fine. But I still need to add a temperature sensor ds18b20. If I add a temperature sensor, the sketch stops working. Please help. I'm new to both Arduino and Mysensors. Many thanks!!!

[rejoe2]

@ostoja Please add your code. Most likely you just transfered the DS18x20-Code into the relay sketch including the sleep() at the end of the loop().
If you did it that way: This had been discussed here several times, you have to change the code into a so-called non-bocking loop().

I commented out the "sleep", but when I press the relay switch in Domoticz, it does not work:white_frowning_face:

@ostoja said in Multiple Relays + Motion sketch, fully customizable, optional timer, manual override:

// Present all sensors to controller
  for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {   
     present(i, S_TEMP);
  }

  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  for (int sensor = 1; sensor <= NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++) {
    present(sensor, S_BINARY, "Relay", ack);
  }

With this two "for" loops you set present(n) multiple times. in the first for() you start with 0 until MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20-1, in the second for() you start with 1 until NUMBER_OF_RELAYS-1, so this will assign the sensors with identical IDs as the relays.
I have not checked the internal code of this method, but I would think that you should better user a different range in the second for() loop starting at least with MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20+1.

Additional remarks:
For the relays better start with 1.
Shift the Temp values to higer range (use e.g. a variable like FRIST_DS_SENSOR_ID).
Check, if the receive()-part and the ID you get really fits together with the relay you want to switch.
Don't try to read the temperature values every few parts of a second. Use a millis()-routine.

Please search the forum, there have to be at least 2 threads with exactly the same problems in which I posted how to solve this. You are "trying to reinvent the wheel". :grin:
