pimatic-mysensors controller plugin

[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.

@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.

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/

@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.

@Fredrik-Carlsson info you havent got one, please check my development git

• Pulse sensor ( Watt, KWh and Ampere )
  {
  "id": "EnergySensor,
  "name": "Energy Sensor",
  "class": "MySensorsPulseMeter",
  "nodeid": 3,
  "batterySensor": true,
  "sensorid": 1,
  "appliedVoltage" : 220
  }

[Fredrik Carlsson]

Yes saw it on github, very interesting. Will try as soon as I am home again

[funky81]

@Fredrik-Carlsson please try it, please notice me if you find any bugs.
I'm in the middle of pull request to @Dheeraj

Hello @Dheeraj,

Could you tell me which commit was connected with 0.8.15? I am little bit confused because your github is still contains 0.8.14 but it looks newer when 0.8.15.

[Dheeraj]

@Mad-Moo latest code 0.8.17 is pushed to github. now everything is sync.

[Fredrik Carlsson]

@funky81
Hello. I have had a hard time testing this. Is the future for the pulsesensor implemented in 0.8.17 official plugin?

If not, how get the latest commit in to pimatic? Have tried to git clone the plugin and then npm install inside the folder, but then none of the sensors shows up in pimatic (the plugin is not active)

With official 0.8.17 the arduino sketch just come in to an endless loop where it wants the latest pulsecount = no answer from pimatic

Hello,

Very nice plugin.

Is there any chance in the future to support the ethernet gateway?

It would be great if we could connected simultaneously to a serial and ethernet gateway from the same pimatic server.
so we could cover remote places..!!!!

[Dheeraj]

New version of plugin available. 0.8.21.

and a video to showcase its capability..

@Dheeraj
Nice! One question: Could you maybe disconnect your repository from pimatic-plugin-template?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16052477/delete-fork-dependency-of-a-github-repository

With the fork connected its hard to fork. ;)

[Dheeraj]

@Oitzu sure will do it need some time..
