PhoneyTV for Vera is Here!

[5546dug]

no it is not

[5546dug]

@BulldogLowell I see in v3.1 pin d2 is called ' button pin' and is an' input' and 'pullup'
(understand it is for the pushbutton use but even then it is only for a few sec. in my setup.)
Also there is d13 defined as for the relay and used with the radio could that be an issue?

How is the controller/GW telling the Phoney TV to change states? Do I need to run a wire from d2 (?) to gnd/vcc to create an interupt?
I don't really need the button, but I will leave it there

[5546dug]

@BulldogLowell Just noticed your post is v3.1 lib 1.4.1 and I have lib 1.4

That might be why I can't control from Vera ....then there is that d2 interrupt connection.

@5546dug

hmmm, looking at the code I posted I see why you have a problem.

Try this:

/*
 * PhoneyTV v3.1.1
 *
 * This Sketch illuminates 6 sets of LED's in a random fashion as to mimic the
 * light eminating from a television.  It is intended to make an empty home,
 * or an empty section of a home, appear to be occupied by someone watching
 * TV.  As an alternative to a real television left on, this uses less than 1%
 * of the electrical energy.
 *
 * With the use of the MySensors plugin and gateway, PhoneyTV is intended to
 * be used with a controller (e.g. Vera or Raspberry PI).
 *
 * Sketch does not use any delays to create the random blinking as a way to
 * assure that communication back to the gateway is as unaffected as possible.
 *
 * You can adjust the length of the blink interval and its "twitchyness" by
 * modifying the random number generators, if you prefer more/less 'motion' in
 * in your unit.  The lines are highlighted in the code, play around to create the
 * random effect you like.
 *
 * Sketch takes advantage of available PWM on pins 3, 5 & 6 using the white/blue LEDs
 * to allow fluctuations in the intensity of the light, enhancing the PhoneyTV's
 * realistic light effects.
 *
 * Created 12-APR-2014
 * Free for distrubution
 * Credit should be given to MySensors.org for their base code for relay control
 * and for the radio configuration.  Thanks Guys.
 *
 * 29-May-2014
 * Version 2:  Simplified the code, removing all redundant relay setup from original
 * code.  Added an on/off momentary pushputton option to be set up on pin 2.  Inproved
 * the dark dips for longer duration (can be configured) at intervals.
 *
 * 6-Jun-2015
 * Version 3.1
 * Updated for MySensors V1.4.1

@5546dug

I think you need to update your MySensors IDE.

[5546dug]

Ok I will try that also
Thanks

[5546dug]

@BulldogLowell I downloaded lib 1.4.1 and just like that your code worked 100% THANKS.

It is something I could not have done.

Just a question, when in your code 3.1.1 you have a few scattered lines through out the declaration code with only // on these lines does it mean anything in particular ?
I couldn't find anything wrote up like the notations of /* and */ for writing comments and paragraphs .

Adding the "//" is only a personal preference of mine to use the comment marks rather than leaving a blank line. for me, with a certain text editor that I use, it is easier to edit and not inadvertently delete some curly brace and screw up my code!

happy to hear you are going now, sorry about the mixup.
