Can I troubleshoot my Sensor Code without a radio?

JohnRob last edited by

Hi,
Sensor will be on a Pro mini with an RFM69 radio.

It would be more convenient for me to develop/troubleshoot my sensor code without the radio. I though of working without MySensors library at this point but I am using the library sleep function.

Does anyone know if running without the radio is practical?

Thanks
John

@johnrob yes. Easiest way is probably to comment out MY_RADIO_RFM69 and add MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL.

@ejlane said in Dual Radio with Home Assistant Question: . Do they show up automatically, or do I need to go tweak something? They will, if your sketch complies to the presentation requirements. See https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor.mysensors/

@Yveaux I'm sure it's in the forum posts somewhere but I don't have time to look for it. Maybe you could do a list of what is and isn't possible in void receive to mitigate further confusions?

On my test node I have enabled Echo and am using if (message.isEcho()) It is working. I have searched and searched and looked at the API docs but am still unclear : If the node sends a value, should it be able to read that same value back in the echoed message. I know I can use message.sender , message.type etc, but how would I print the whole echoed message and/or the echoed value.

So after more then 67h the gateway hangs again. This is the debug output: (di 01-09 09:58:49.398) 243740964 RFM69:SWR:ACK,FROM=31,SEQ=60,RSSI=-98 (di 01-09 09:58:49.398) 243740969 THA:SND:MSG LEN=9,RES=1 (di 01-09 09:58:49.398) 243740974 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-31-31,s=2,c=2,t=3,pt=0,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:11 (di 01-09 09:58:49.585) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.585) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.585) 243741189 THA:DATA:AVAIL (di 01-09 09:58:49.641) 243741241 RFM69:SAC:SEND ACK,TO=31,RSSI=-71 (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741246 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-100 (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741253 THA:RCV:MSG=1F1F000A2103020B (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741256 THA:RCV:MSG LEN=8 (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741261 TSF:MSG:READ,31-31-0,s=2,c=1,t=3,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:11 (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741268 GWT:TPS:TOPIC=ms-rfm-from/31/2/1/0/3,MSG SENT (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.703) 243741282 THA:DATA:AVAIL (di 01-09 09:58:49.733) 243741334 RFM69:SAC:SEND ACK,TO=31,RSSI=-68 (di 01-09 09:58:49.737) 243741339 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-96 (di 01-09 09:58:49.742) 243741345 THA:RCV:MSG=1F1F000A21030A0B (di 01-09 09:58:49.747) 243741349 THA:RCV:MSG LEN=8 (di 01-09 09:58:49.752) 243741354 TSF:MSG:READ,31-31-0,s=10,c=1,t=3,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:11 (di 01-09 09:58:49.759) 243741361 GWT:TPS:TOPIC=ms-rfm-from/31/10/1/0/3,MSG SENT (di 01-09 09:58:49.766) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.767) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.862) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.862) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.911) 243741466 THA:DATA:AVAIL (di 01-09 09:58:49.915) 243741518 RFM69:SAC:SEND ACK,TO=31,RSSI=-69 (di 01-09 09:58:49.921) 243741523 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-97 (di 01-09 09:58:49.926) 243741529 THA:RCV:MSG=1F1F000A21171642 (di 01-09 09:58:49.978) 243741533 THA:RCV:MSG LEN=8 (di 01-09 09:58:49.978) 243741538 TSF:MSG:READ,31-31-0,s=22,c=1,t=23,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:66 (di 01-09 09:58:49.978) 243741545 GWT:TPS:TOPIC=ms-rfm-from/31/22/1/0/23,MSG SENT (di 01-09 09:58:49.978) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:49.978) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:59.817) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:59.817) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:59.881) 243751420 THA:DATA:AVAIL (di 01-09 09:58:59.881) 243751473 RFM69:SAC:SEND ACK,TO=31,RSSI=-71 (di 01-09 09:58:59.881) 243751478 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-100 (di 01-09 09:58:59.881) 243751485 THA:RCV:MSG=1F1F000A21171643 (di 01-09 09:58:59.909) 243751488 THA:RCV:MSG LEN=8 (di 01-09 09:58:59.909) 243751493 TSF:MSG:READ,31-31-0,s=22,c=1,t=23,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:67 (di 01-09 09:58:59.909) 243751500 GWT:TPS:TOPIC=ms-rfm-from/31/22/1/0/23,MSG SENT (di 01-09 09:58:59.909) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:58:59.909) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:09.771) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:09.771) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:09.771) 243761374 THA:DATA:AVAIL (di 01-09 09:59:09.860) 243761427 RFM69:SAC:SEND ACK,TO=31,RSSI=-70 (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) 243761432 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-101 (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) 243761439 THA:RCV:MSG=1F1F000A21171644 (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) 243761442 THA:RCV:MSG LEN=8 (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) 243761447 TSF:MSG:READ,31-31-0,s=22,c=1,t=23,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:68 (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) 243761454 GWT:TPS:TOPIC=ms-rfm-from/31/22/1/0/23,MSG SENT (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:09.907) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.447) MQTTP topic (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) ms-rfm-to/31/2/2/0/3<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763051 GWT:IMQ:TOPIC=ms-rfm-to/31/2/2/0/3, MSG RECEIVED (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763059 THA:SND:MSG=00001F120203023132 (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763065 RFM69:SWR:SEND,TO=31,SEQ=65,RETRY=0 (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763072 RFM69:CSMA:RSSI=-98 (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) IC<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) IH<CR> (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763088 RFM69:SWR:ACK,FROM=31,SEQ=66,RSSI=-96 (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763092 THA:SND:MSG LEN=9,RES=1 (di 01-09 09:59:11.578) 243763097 TSF:MSG:SEND,0-0-31-31,s=2,c=2,t=3,pt=0,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:12 After this, nothing happens anymore.

@nzbaxterman You are welcome - It's a bit difficult to imagine the setup you want, but here a bit more to try and help. All sensors in the barn will need to communicate with 'something' in the barn. Due to all metal walls you may get reflections that will affect signals so moving antennas 20mm at a time to try and find the 'sweet spot' will probably help. Outdoors a 200m run will need a 500mW Nrf24l01+ or you could use lora radios. With the nrf it would be cheap and good to use a yagi (directional) antenna just for this link. You will want a yagi mounted at the barn and at the water tank pointing directly at each other. A helping hand an some walkie talkies would make this reasonably easy! Mount antennas a high up as you can and avoid any obstacles in the path between antennas (including trees). Let us know how it turns out!
