pir trigger must start delay
-
Is there anyone who can me help with the next step in getting this sensor to work. It is a combi of 3 relays, motion sensor and 2 temps. All works now but if the Motion is triggered it starts the SLEEP_TIME. but in this period I cannot use the buttons to activate the relays. How can I only stop the motion trigger (for a period of time) without affecting the test of the sensors.

Here the code to make it more clear

During sleep you can only wake it up by using the interrupts of pins 2 and 3. Is it a battery powered node?
-
@Dick You should use a non-blocking code. Replace your
if ( motionsDebouncer.update()) {...}with anupdateMotion(SLEEP_TIME);which could be something likevoid updateMotion(unsigned long blockedMotionTime) { static unsigned long lastUpdateTime; if (millis() - lastUpdateTime >= blockedMotionTime) { if ( motionsDebouncer.update()) { int value = motionsDebouncer.read(); Serial.println( "PIR " + (String)value ); gw.send( msgMOTION.set( value ), true ); lastUpdateTime += blockedMotionTime; } } }Never use
sleepif you want to listen for incoming messages.waitis not good either since you expect button press. Buttons could use an interruptpin if needed, but it looks like your not on battery.

@m26872
thanks for the short lesson. I change the code it test it.
-
@m26872 I implemented the function but it does not work. I also read more about the NON BLOCKING code. is new for me. At the moment the pir pin give no reaction. nothing happend with the new function. The relays and temp sensors are working fine. Any idea to get it work so I can see a working example so I can use it in my other sensors.
-
@Dick I'm no code expert, but I would make the two lastUpdateTime-variables as global ones and initialize them with 0.
-
@m26872 it is all new for me this solution. How can I make them global?? that means outside the function? is that the only thing I have to do?
-
@Dick Since they are 'static' I think you only need to initialize them with 0 , maybe not even that. I simply dont know. Your problem could be something else too. Sorry.
-
@m26872 No Problem. I continue reading. If someone else knows what to do please reply.

unsigned long blockMotionTimer = 0;

@BartE Hi Bart thanks for the solution but hopefully you can help me with the last hurdle:
I added your solution, after starting the node I can activate the PIR once (it state change from 1 to 0) and stays in 0 and will not change anymore.

@Dick mm look like a } on the wrong line. The } on line 126 should move up between line 119 and 120
(and there are 2 additional brackets)The result should look like this
if (blockMotionTimer == 0) { if (motionsDebouncer.update()) { int value = motionsDebouncer.read(); Serial.println( "PIR " + (String)value ); gw.send( msgMOTION.set( value ), true ); // Also it might need inverted value blockMotionTimer = (millis() + SLEEP_TIME); } } else { motionsDebouncer.update(); // dummy update to prevent false trigger after timer expires if (blockMotionTimer < millis()) { blockMotionTimer = 0; } }

@BartE It works fine. Now I try to understand how it works, have found already some documentation about this item. again thanks!
-
@Dick nice to hear
How it works:
As long as 'blockMotionTimer' is zero the motion debouncer is being monitored for any change.
When a PIR-change is detected the blockMotionTimer gets the value of the Arduino's internal milliseconds timer + the delay in milliseconds one want to wait.
This happes on this line: "blockMotionTimer = (millis() + SLEEP_TIME);"
See more about the millis() hereThe blockMotionTimer is set back to zero the when mills() reaches the value set for time-out done with this check "if (blockMotionTimer < millis()) {" , and because the blockMotionTimer is non-zero the PIR value will not be checked during this period.
Expert note: since the milliseconds counter is returned in an unsigned long it will carry over one moment in time. Since Arduino stores it's ulong in 32 bits this means a carry over each 2^32 thus 4294967296 milliseconds. This is approx. every 50 days (49,71 days) So in theory this mechanism could result in a wrong (very short) delay, when timer is started precisely with the SLEEP_TIME period just before these 49,71 days. The result of millis() + SLEEP_TIME will then carry over and is immediate smaller than millis() on the next check. So be aware that this check if (blockMotionTimer > (millis() - SLEEP_TIME)) can result in a death-lock when blockMotionTimer = millis(); was set on the wrong moment in time.

@BartE What an extended answere. Here I can do something with. Good learning stuff.
