Combining relay and temperature sketch

[Tim76]

@gohan so I fixed that....... and now I get this in Domoticz....

so it seems I do get temp Id's from 17 to 32, but the values stay in 0,1,2 where the relays 1 and 2 don't work.....

[gohan]

There must be a bug in the relay section, I can't check it today, I'm out all day.
Try to add some debug serial print to see what values are being exchanged

[gohan]

I'm talking about adding code to your sketch so that it prints in serial monitor the values before they are sent for presentations and you debug from those, I can't debug it for you from here 😀

[Tim76]

@gohan oh.... ok..... pretty new at coding, but I guess you allready figured that out.....;-)

[gohan]

No problem, it's normal, everybody started from being new at coding.
For debugging add only 1 or 2 temp sensors and same for relays, work it out simple and then add more

[Tim76]

@gohan hey Gohan,
I will not be able to continue to work on my code till after the weekend....😑

[gohan]

No problem, I'm here anyway 😀

[Tim76]

@gohan
Due to work related schedule problems I won't be able to work on this code for a few weeks...... :angry:

[Newzwaver]

Did you get this working and if so can you share?

[bluezr1]

@newzwaver I'm curious aswell, been pounding my head all night trying to get a temperature and relay into one sketch.

[Newzwaver]

HI

I did get it to work and will post the sketch later today after work. I have it working on the ESP8266 and Arduino.

[Newzwaver]

I figured why wait, this has the temp, hum and 2 relays working not problem. One relay controls my fan for my AV and the other controls my doorbell for my HTD Lync system.

[rejoe2]

@newzwaver your code is pretty hard to read due to not beeing entirely formatted as code.
Nevertheless there seems not to exist any loop() section and the node is put to sleep after having received anything for a certain periode of time.
This may work in most cases, but imo is not a "lucky code design".

Imo better aproach:
Use the https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay - principle. Additionally a wait() is used instead of sleep() for the time to fulfill measurements (DS18B20 in my case).
If you need a working implementation of the blink-without-delay function within MySensors, see the https://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_power example.
At least three of my nodes (combining temperature and relays) work pretty well like that.

[bluezr1]

@rejoe2 said in Combining relay and temperature sketch:

Thanks Newzwaver

You wouldn't happen to have a sketch with the DS18B20? I have both DHTs and DS18B20s but plan on using this to turn on and off a fan to keep my AV equipment cool. So I'm not that concerned about humidity although it wouldn't be deal breaker if it did.

Thanks,

[rejoe2]

@bluezr1 Sure... But imo it is easier to stick with the given examples, they may be much easier to understand than e.g. this one:grin:

[sincze]

@rejoe2 NIce example thanks.

[rejoe2]

@sincze Thanks too.
Just to mention: I don't use the internal functionality for the servo any more - this part didn't work to my personal satisfaction.
If you're interested: The RS485 variant in the repo is even more complex - it uses three Pins for 1wire with different timings, but may require some tweeks in the libs to compile.

[bluezr1]

Thank you so much Newzwaver. I've been trying to combine two sketches together and this is my first successful one. I may never be as good as most of the people on this forum, although I don't plan on stopping with combining more than one sensor to one node -- need to get rid of my double nodes I have in various places. :)

When I ran your sketch and the relays didn't show up in vera. So after I copied and pasted from the relay sketch posted by hek under void presentation, I ended up with errors. So after comparing the two (yours to hek's) I ended up with this that seems to be working.

As of right now I'm looking into what rejoe2 said about using wait instead of sleep, unless I'll be fine with what I have?

@bluezr1 Great to hear about you having first positive results.

Nevertheless, imo the sketch you posted is designed against some basic principles.

First: all main functions should be placed in the loop() section (not present in this sketch). The posted sketch does all the measurements within an exceptional routine called receive(). This should be reserved for all functionality that really is related to receive any info from controller side - obviously doing measurements does not belong to that category.

I also started as complete noob to coding around 30 months ago and just followed the examples (mostly from Build section), so be assured: you will also learn how to do this just by following these examples and ask yourself why things are solved the way they are.

If you need a good example of a combined sketch, have a look at the atmospheric pressure one (or the DHT (humidity?) sketch you have used here): They already have two children... From the BME180-Preassure you may follow the route to the BME280 examples available in the forum here or in my repo (#98, RS485).

Btw: In the header section of your sketch there are also two defines left not necessary (just as a info, this does not cause any trouble for the moment).
