Synchronising Light switch

[Boots33]

I have a 12v system in my house that is used for some of the lighting so wanted to let Mysensors take control of the nightlights that until now i have had to switch on manually. There were a few things that needed to be achieved with these nodes to make them acceptable for use.

1. I had to retain hardware switch so the lights could still be switched from the local wall plate.

2. The hardware switch had to remain functional even if the gateway or controller were not available. we live in a semi rural area where there are few street lights so the 12v lighting has to remain operational during power outages etc.

3. The node should make an effort to keep the controller in sync with its current state. During first boot up and when a broken up-link has been re-established.

The code is working with Domoticz and so far has responded well to all conditions stated above.
it uses request to check with the controllers state and sends a message if needed to sync.
A momentary push button is used for the switch.

The wiring

[core_c]

cool.
nothing too much in code, nor in wiring.
:+1:

[Boots33]

@core_c Yes I did not want it to be overly complicated or to be constantly pinging the network either.
It is a fairly good compromise the node only starts to ping once it has determined the uplink is broken and you can decide the interval by changing uplinkCheckPeriod. At the moment it is set to 30 seconds.

In testing the return from request usually arrived within 800 milliseconds so returnWait could also be reduced from 1500ms if it was a concern. It is only used when the node is first reconnected so felt I would rather make sure I got the correct data by adding an extra delay.

Just a couple of other ideas on this subject to share :)

This sketch is a small modification on the original to allow for the use of a toggle type switch instead of the push button

This next sketch is for a push button once again but this time it is using requestTime() to try and determine if the controller is available. While all uplink checks are only made to the gateway, by checking for the time returned from the controller it is possible to use this to test for the controllers presence. I have not tested this code extensively but it does appear to work ok within the original design goals.

@boots33

Can you also share version for 2 relays and also 1relays with temperature sensors DS18B20 Dallas and 2relays also with DS18B20 ?

And how your sketch check that controller is available ? And if controlller is not available what is do ?

[pepson]

Ok i test your sketch with custom my radio. It look as this below.
This look that works ok. When controller is ENABLE and i only disable on controller GATEWAY, then change status NODE and again ENABLE gateway status node on controller is refresh after some time. Also when POWER OFF controller and gateway and then change status NODE , also status is correct refresh on controller after bootup controller with gateway.

Status is not refreshed only in one situation. When i only reboote controller with gateway and under reboote i change status NODE. After run controller and gateway status is not refresh and show not correct.

Please share me this sketch if you can for 2xrelays ? And also option with send temperature from Dallas DS18b20 ?

One question... How change time betwen change relay on and off. Now i must wait about 2-4 secund before try change status on off by button. Can i change this time ?

@pepson said in Synchronising Light switch:

Status is not refreshed only in one situation. When i only reboote controller with gateway and under reboote i change status NODE. After run controller and gateway status is not refresh and show not correct.

Sorry I do not understand what start up scenario you are describing here. Can you post details of the exact steps needed to replicate this problem.

Please share me this sketch if you can for 2xrelays ? And also option with send temperature from Dallas DS18b20 ?

I do not have any sketches that include switches & temperature sensors, there are however some posts already on combining relays and temp senders. You should do a search to locate them or perhaps start a new thread about that.

One question... How change time betwen change relay on and off. Now i must wait about 2-4 secund before try change status on off by button. Can i change this time ?

The relay should change from on/off instantly from the local switch or from the controller.
The delay in being able to continuously flick the switch between on and off will most likely be caused by the delay required to receive the time return.
As I said in an earlier post : In testing the return from request usually arrived within 800 milliseconds so returnWait could also be reduced from 1500ms if it was a concern.

If you reduce it too far the switch sync will once again become unreliable. This is the trade off for a sync switch

Why do you need to switch your lights every 2 seconds?

[pepson]

If i need fast on and then off light.
But ok i test with change returnWait about 1000.

But can you also share me only sketch for 2 or more relay ? This will be good sketch also for other user... Thanks for your help.
You are the best :)

Please help me modification this script to support 2x relays with button. I start modification but i dont know how finished it...

Hi
Can you help me convert this skecth for MySensors 2.2.0 because it was released. I upload to my Arduino MIni Pro this sketch but in Gateway Domoticz not show child to switch relay. Only show repeater child on ID 255.
And also if you can please share me ready skecth for 2x releay.

/*
   Relay with button sketch

   to gateway and try to maintain sync to controller
