Upgraded my home sensor network to 2.1.1...

chaeron last edited by

I upgraded my home sensor network to MySensors 2.1.1 last week.

Prior to that I was having connectivity issues....I would lose nodes from the network fairly regularly.

I'm happy to say that 2.1.1 resolved all those issues and everything looks rock solid now. Haven't dropped a node since. Yay!

Would have been nice to know about the change in startup sequence for 2.1.1 (new before() method), but other than that, a very solid release.

Well done!

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

I don't have a good answer for you @mimaret When I get to the point where I'm getting strange error messages, I bite the bullet and start from ground zero. Fortunately, with the RPi you just need a new SD card. Start with a fresh copy of the Raspberry Pi OS. If you enable SSH (and WiFI) when you create the image, you can do everything headless (without keyboard-mouse-video) by running raspi-config via a remote terminal ( PuTTY ) If you enable VNC with raspi-config you can have access to the GUI. Double check your radio wiring. Don't have anything unnecessary plugged in. Carefully follow the instructions I've done this tedious process many times. My RPi's are 3B+ and Zero 2 W. Here's what I've encountered: bad power supply bad SD card bad wiring corrupt download and, of course, more user errors than I care to think about! I have not come across bad RPi ... no, not true! I had a Zero 2 W with a bad WiFi chip (common problem). Overcame that with a USB WiFi dongle. Good luck! Let us know what you discover. -OSD

Are you still able to use the same analog phone plugged into the back of your modem? If so then it has to still use the same protocol, and I don't understand why the analog beacon wouldn't still work. It would just have to be on that same wire, not on the internet side of the modem. The modem is doing all of the translation in that case. Or am I missing something? Did you have to get a new phone to use the new service?

MySensors is an EXCELLENT project. It allows for complete control over the various sensors. It's extremely simple. Its drawback is that it's open source, so it's unfunded and development is slow, but I don't think there are any better projects than this at the moment.
