pimatic-mysensors controller plugin

[Dheeraj]

@Ralf-H sure will add support for light sensor

[Vladut Grecu]

I would like to help you make a color picker for rgb leds and a slider for random pwm outputs :D
-edit-

deviceClasses = [
        MySensorsDHT
        MySensorsBMP
        MySensorsPIR
        MySensorsSwitch
        MySensorsPulseMeter
        MySensorsButton
        MySensorBattery
        MySensorsDevDimmer
      ]

and

 class MySensorsDevDimmer extends env.devices.DimmerActuator

    constructor: (@config,lastState, @board) ->
      @id = config.id
      @name = config.name
      @_state = lastState?.state?.value
      env.logger.info "MySensorsDevDimmer" , @id , @name, @_state

      @board.on('rfValue', (result) =>
        if result.sender is @config.nodeid and result.type is
        V_LIGHT and result.sensor is @config.sensorid
          state = (if parseInt(result.value) is 1 then on else off)
          env.logger.info "<- MySensorDevDimmer " , result
          @_setState(state)
        )
      super()

    changeStateTo: (state) ->
      assert state is on or state is off
      if state is true then _state = 1  else _state = 0
      datas = {}
      datas =
      {
        "destination": @config.nodeid,
        "sensor": @config.sensorid,
        "type"  : V_LIGHT,
        "value" : _state,
        "ack"   : 1
      }
      @board._rfWrite(datas).then ( () =>
        @_setState(state)
      )

But i get :
Could not initialize the plugin "mysensors": MySensorsDevDimmer is not defined

I know that this won`t actually work because of the :

 state = (if parseInt(result.value) is 1 then on else off) 

and the :

  if state is true then _state = 1  else _state = 0

What I don't get is why does it throw me that error. (Don't go hard on me, I just learned the basics of coffee script only for this)

check the pimatic-daemon.log file and what kind of error exception your are getting . not sure if you have enable the "logLevel": "debug", in config.json for pimatic.

Also, you need to add entry in device-config-schema.coffee schema file.
if nothing works share the log file with me..

I'm also new to coffee or nodejs and struggled a lot understanding the coffee script , basically, still in learning phase..

@Dheeraj, I have been looking all day for how to configure static node id , meanwhile I heard of mysensors last night so pardon me if I didn't find the doc that explain it. Can you point me in the right direction?

[Sebastien Vayrette-Gavard]

I didn't search enough, http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/753/static-node-id-and-other-unanswered-questions

Hello, I am new with controler. I already have some temperature sensors and other controls, but until now I did not use any controller,
I am not familiar with linux, and I need help with instalation of controler on raspbery 2.
I am done with OS instalation, I am using image NOOBS.
I try to install Pimatic acording this procedure, http://pimatic.org/guide/getting-started/installation/
And now I am not sure what next.
Please can anybody help me?
Thanks

[funky81]

@jurasek I found out that pimatic installation in the website quite general.
for more details, you can use following link for the forum.
it gives me clear idea and more details step by step

[jurasek]

Thanks, I have a pimatic runing now. I would like connect NRF24 directly to the RPI is this possible? How can I setup mysensors plugin for this?

Thanks

[Dheeraj]

@jurasek connecting NRF24L01 to RPi directly is possible you will find good amount of references if you search this form.

Hello @Dheeraj
Any info about how to setup a pulsecount sensor?

[Sebastien Vayrette-Gavard]

@Dheeraj is the light sensor supported? I am getting

20:32:05.069 [pimatic] warn: no plugin found for device "Light1" of class "MySensorLight"!

when starting pimatic with

{
      "id": "Light1",
      "name": "Lighti1",
      "class": "MySensorLight",
      "nodeid": 11,
      "sensorid": 0
    }

yet I am able to see the sensor in pimatic's logs

<- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;0;3;0;9;read: 11-11-0 s=0,c=1,t=23,pt=2,l=2:39

kindly change the "class" name as "MySensorsLight" . please note it has a 's' in between.

[Dheeraj]

@Fredrik-Carlsson

frankly, i couldn't check pulsecount using actual power meter. although i can simulate it :) . It's custom made according to my need. I can modify it as per http://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_power build easily.

currently it only supports "V_WATT" message.

[Fredrik Carlsson]

Good morning @Dheeraj
Do you have any example for how you are configuring it? I have made a node with the "original" sketch and configured it with sensor array [0,1,2] in pimatic. I see the device, with parameters w/kw/kWh but no info comes in. Are you using a custom sketch then or how is your setup working?
I think one of the nicest things about pimatic is the graphing functionality. I want to log and and check how the heating is distributed throughout my house and at which consumption depending on heatpump / woodstove settings

[Sebastien Vayrette-Gavard]

@Dheeraj maybe you can fix the example here for lazy eyes/asses like me. I just copied and paste and didn't notice the missing "s" Thank you so much for the quick support and the great plugin.

since i don't have home laptop with me. otherwise , i could have shared the custom sketch with you. but what i remember is that it sends V_WATT message with wattage usage and calculate KW and KWh ( still broken ) at controller end ( pimatic ).

meanwhile, i'm fixing the pulsemeter code which will be compatible with actual sketch, wait for 1 or 2 days. Also, we will be able to see battery status (optional) with sensor devices.

one thing you missed here is that pimatic is browser based also have the "automation by rules" functionality which is awesome. also you can try various plugins available with pimatic. http://www.pimatic.org/pages/plugins/

[Fredrik Carlsson]

@Dheeraj I wait patiently then :)
Yes the more im digging in to pimatic the more i like it and feel that it fits my needs perfectly

Yesterday was great update (0.8.14). Now battery level is connected with device as regular attribute. Great job, @Dheeraj! Thanks a lot!

[Dheeraj]

newer version (0.8.15 ) of plugin release . support Acronym for devices . improves user experience.
