I am in Electrical Engineering industry for 4 years, in fact, I love to mess with electronic components, theory and applications of EE. For me, it is the queen of all Engineering branches, what you say?
@hek Thanks! Our posts crossed in the matrix!
I even got this right on a previous sketch, but a lot has been going on for me lately and I am finding it difficult to concentrate on things.
Has anyone thought of using serial over ethernet? I would think that you could do that similar to having a straight serial connection. I do believe that ESPEasy supports serial over ethernet. I can check when I get home since that is what I am running on all of my Sonoffs. I am using a custom plugin on my Vera to run them, but I do have a couple spare Sonoffs that I could try a serial connection with. The only thing would be what GPIO pins are available on a Sonoff or other ESP8266 device to act as the serial side of the gateway.
@adrian_kbb73 Welcome to the MySensors commu ity!
Most of this code seems to be for MySensors 1.x. It needs to be converted to work with 2.x. A guide is available at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4276/converting-a-sketch-from-1-5-x-to-2-0-x/
@laoadam Your garage door safety sensors may not be aligned quite right. It could be off just enough that vibration from the door itself when opening and closing is knocking one of the sensor modules out of alignment. The same could be true if one of the wires to it is loose. Check both sensor modules to make sure they are aligned right and not loose. One should be a transmitter that shoots a beam to the other module which is the receiver. If the transmitter beam is not aligned exactly right with the receiver, it won't work. As I mentioned too, check that there are no loose or broken wires. If wires go to screw terminals, make sure those are secured properly and that none of the wire casing is getting pinched in with the wire as that may cause a partial connection that could be lost with vibration of the door.
With all that being said, this is a forum for a DIY home automation hardware platform called MySensors. Were you planning at some point to implement this for your garage door?
@Dick Still trying to find the problem. What I did in the past hours, fresh install of the Pi and the Mysensors gateway, Connect a Node and activate them in Domoticz.It works good (4 relays wih button). Adding anothe nod, instaling no problem and actiate in Domotic. Tst all the active sensors and nothing works. Deleted all the active sensors and dit the same as befor only i gave the nodes a radio ID. Sme resut, frst node worked goodand addig a second, nothing woks. Beore adding the node I tested them on a test module. Does have anybody an Idea??
Thanks for the solution, I tested it and works fine now. In Answer to your question why I use the old version of MySensors, at the moment I am re-configurating my ne RP with the latest version of Domoticz. After that I will connect the latest MYsensors Gateway to it. If all the nodes keep on working on the new environment, there is not an immediate need to adjust the code of all my nodes. Is my approach correct? if not please reply.
