Multiple Sensors on Gateway



  • Hello,
    I Want to use multiple sensors (motion sensor, temperature, rain sensor etc) on one Arduino MEGA.

    For the moment I use a module with 4 relays, 2 Dallas temperature sensors, 1 motion sensor(I would like to change the sketch to use multiple motion sensor as the temperature example) and the problem is that I have to prioritize the sensors, for example I need update for the temperature sensors every 20-30 seconds but the motion sensor should update instantly.

    Here is my code based on the MySensors examples.

    // Debug
    #define MY_DEBUG
    // Partea cu Conexiunea la net 
    #define MY_GATEWAY_ENC28J60

    unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 20000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
    #define MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20 1
    OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS); // Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
    DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire); // Pass the oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature. 
    float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
    int numSensors=0;
    bool receivedConfig = false;
    bool metric = true;
    // Initialize temperature message
    MyMessage msgtemp(0,V_TEMP);
    //==TEMP==
    
    //==RELAY==
    #define RELAY_1  8  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for first relay (second on pin+1 etc)

    #define RELAY_ON 0  // GPIO value to write to turn on attached relay
    #define RELAY_OFF 1 // GPIO value to write to turn off attached relay
    //==RELAY==

    long lastDebounce = 0;
    long debounceDelay = 500;
    unsigned long lastSend;

    MyMessage msgmiscare(CHILD_ID_MISCARE, V_TRIPPED);
    
    void before()
    {
      // Startup up the OneWire library
      sensors.begin();
    
      for (int sensor=1, pin=RELAY_1; sensor<=NUMBER_OF_RELAYS; sensor++, pin++) {
        // Then set relay pins in output mode
        pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
        // Set relay to last known state (using eeprom storage)
        digitalWrite(pin, loadState(sensor)?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);
      }
    }

      // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)

        float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;
    
        // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error

    How about using interrupts? You connect the pir sensors on the pins supporting interrupts.



  • Thank you for your reply!
    The motion sensor part from the sketch works perfectly, the problem is with the temperature part.

    If I am using wait or sleep for temperature, arduino won't listen the motion sensor until the time elapses.

    If I am commenting the wait the sensor will spam the controller until the controller stop receiving data from arduino.

    That's my point, use interrupts that will "wake" the Arduino when pin changes status and process the pir signal



  • @gohan I understand what you are saying but if I am doing in that way I will spam the controller with the interrupts(flaps) right now it works like this
    if pin=0 send the state of the pin(the next update is when pin state changes), if pin=1 send the state and wait for 10 seconds for the next update.

    For the moment I have found a solution with millis[if(time%frequency==0)]:

    time=millis()/1000;
    if(time%10 ==0)
    

    Any suggestion for improving this part?
