How to let OpenHab know that mysensors actuator became unresponsive?

[rzylius]

Hi,

I developed mysensors actuator for controlling ventilation device (power on/off and speed). I use openhab as controller.

I would like to be sure that I notice if mysensors actuator become unresponsive. Please suggest how controller should recognize if actuator is unresponsive.

regards,

Rimantas

Hi @rzylius !

There are two possible solutions:

1. Use ACK to track if a command is received by the node.

2. Send a heartbeat (it's a library function) to the controller / gateway and use a rule on the last update channel. If no update is received within a given time, send a push notification to your smartphone (or something like that).

I agree with TimO

We are discussing the solution of same problem on https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3346/discussion-reliable-delivery/48

Feel free to watch that. i am also using OpenHAB.
