4 spaces in front of every line will be displayed as code. Please update your post. And I could not play the videos either.

@korttoma

all fixed. I had to take the text into another editor

here is the lua

 local temp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 60)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_1", value=temp}, 85)

 luup.sleep(750)

 local humid = luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1","CurrentLevel", 63)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_2", value=humid}, 85)

 luup.sleep(750)

 local low = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 61)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_3", value=low}, 85)

 luup.sleep(750)

 local high = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 62)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_4", value=high}, 85)

 luup.sleep(750)

 local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:Weather1","Condition", 59)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_5", value=conditions}, 85)

 luup.sleep(750)

Nice job on the sketch Jim, I especially liked the idea with "#define DEBUG". There were allso some other ideas I will be stealing some day when I find time to update my sketch.

So I guess you did not use the function by @RexBeckett then? I could not get it to work either. I'll try your suggestion with the delays.

BulldogLowell

@korttoma

Thanks for your help and time, you made it a lot easier! I'm trying to write the code for an audience rather than myself so I'm focused more on what I'm putting into the sketch versus just 'getting it to work.' I'm going to get that led dimming next!

I messed around with the function but lost patience with it,,. I'll get my lua book out and tackle that one rainy day. Meanwhile, I have been using these delays without any issues (no Vera re-starts) and can probably work on shortening the delay times now that I have my Ethernet gateway working so well!!!

best network performance ever for me since I started with MySensors :)

I keep looking at your scene controller (and the one Henrik did) and I guess I just have to pick one to make!!

korttoma

It was all my pleasure Jim, it is nice to have someone to exchange ideas with. I take it you mean the dimming of the backlight right? Let me know if you need some details.

I have also put together a Ethernet GW some time ago but newer got around to take it in to use. And then there was all this about the SPI issue so I guess I need to take it on again at some point. A bit unclear if it will work with the Ethernet board I have anyway.

BulldogLowell

@korttoma

yeah, I meant dimming the LED backlight, a nice touch to your project.

your ethernet board uses the same Wiznet chipset, so you may want to try what was posted on the other thread. I got frustrated with my Serial gateway losing its communication with Vera.

Hello, I am building this same thing and have used the sketch and luup code above thanks to @BulldogLowell & @korttoma!

I am having issues though pulling a variable to send to the lcd screen via luup. I put this device under the Light Variable 4 code is at the bottom of the Lua below. This device is another mysensor that is visible in Vera so I am not sure what is wrong, any help someone could provide would be great.

Luup code:

local temp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 7)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_1", value=temp}, 103)
luup.sleep(750)
local humid = luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1","CurrentLevel", 10)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_2", value=humid}, 103)
luup.sleep(750)
local low = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 61)
    luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_3", value=low}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)
local high = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 62)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_4", value=high}, 103)
luup.sleep(750)
local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:Weather1","Condition", 6)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_5", value=conditions}, 103)
luup.sleep(750)  
local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:Weather1","Forecast.1.Condition", 59)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_2", value=conditions}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)
  local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 98)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_4", value=HTTemp}, 103)
  luup.sleep(750)

luup.sleep(750)

it looks like you are making a call for the variable "conditions" and passing "HTTemp" in the two last commands. here:

local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 98) -- you get "conditions"

luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_4", value=HTTemp}, 103) -- you set "HTTemp"

luup.sleep(750)

that could be it...

cleight

@BulldogLowell I was under the impression that the value could be named what ever you want, is that not the case? changing the value to temp should fix the issue you think?

BulldogLowell

@cleight said:

changing the value to temp should fix the issue you think?

now I am confused.

You are (it seems to me) retreiving a value from device 98, no?

You are then writing that to device 103, at VAR_4... yes?

please clarify for me.

(reference the snippet of code in my last post)

cleight

@BulldogLowell Thanks for pointing that out, I actually need to write VAR4 to device 105. I have made the necessary changes but still isn't working.

 local temp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-   org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 7)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1",  "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_1", value=temp}, 103)
luup.sleep(750)
local humid = luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1","CurrentLevel", 10)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_2", value=humid}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)
 local low = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 8)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_3", value=low}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)
 local high = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 9)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_4", value=high}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)
 local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:Weather1","Condition", 6)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_5", value=conditions}, 103)
 luup.sleep(750)  
 local conditions = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:Weather1","Forecast.1.Condition", 6)
 luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_2", value=conditions}, 105)
  luup.sleep(750)
  local temp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 98)
  luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_4", value=HTTemp}, 105)
  luup.sleep(750)

korttoma

You are stil not giving HTtemp any value!

cleight

@korttoma Can you elaborate on HTTemp not getting any value? I am not following what HTTemp should be either changed to or how to give it value.

Here is a snippet of the debug window:
Indoor Temp:20F
Hot Tub:0Fsend: 11-11-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=1,pt=0,l=0,st=ok:
read: 0-0-11 s=255,c=3,t=1,pt=0,l=10:1423665003
Time value received:
1423665003

korttoma

Try replacing the last section with this:

local HTTemp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 98)
luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;4", variableId="VAR_4", value=HTTemp}, 105)
luup.sleep(750)

I tried this luup code and get the same results, at this point I have to believe it is an issue in my sketch as I have pushed a known working device to 105, VAR_4 and it isn't working either.

BulldogLowell

@cleight

check your return with the equivalent http command in this format in your browser:

http://ip_address:3480/data_request?id=variableget&DeviceNum=98&serviceId=urn:upnp-micasaverde-com:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1&Variable=CurrentTemperature

just replace ip_address with your vera's IP address...

look here

cleight

@BulldogLowell Thanks for this information this helped me to get the variables I needed to pull the alarm status, I also fixed the above issue with not being able to pull the Temperature from the device I was trying to. Once I tweak my code and adjust the display the way I like I will post the final sketch and a video.

One more thing how easy would it be to have semi-static data, like the temp or time in one corner of the screen while it is cycling through all the screens?

BulldogLowell

@cleight

like this?

link text

cleight

@BulldogLowell yes like that example, I posted on you other thread a week or so ago. I will see if I can put my current sketch and parts of that one together to get it how I want.

BulldogLowell

@cleight

I have it all in here, if you are patient enough to get through all this...

look at the centerString() function to help you center your weather conditions... you can ignore cleanString() cuz MySensors handles spaces in the strings... my Ethernet version needs to handle spaces differently.

look at updateLCD() and its called functions.

let me know if you have questions... I'm going to post this project later, though not strictly a MySensors implementation. ;)

/*
 Vera Auxilliary Controller a.k.a. Arduino/Vera Ethernet Device
 
 December, 2014
 
 Version .98
 
 This sketch features the following:
 
 * With the device's own website it allows you to send the device a message along with a visual or sound indicator
 * Control LCD backlight brightness
 * Control led (relay) 
 * Control your alarm state or lights or execute scenes...
 * Control attached Relay
 * Processes and displays "Vital" data from Vera like the Weather, Alarm State
 * Reliably runs on an UNO but very expandable if you want to use a Mega instead
 * Displays Indoor Temp and Humidity using DHT sensor
 * Displays unread email count
 
 INSTRUCTIONS:
 
HARDWARE:
 * Enter your Vera's IP address where indicated
 * Attach a 20x4 LCD display using I2C, remove the jumper from the backlight led and connect it to DIMMER_PIN (pwm pin)
 * Connect DHT11 to Vcc, ground and DHT_SENSOR_PIN
 * Connect optional Pushbuttons to your ACTION pins
 * That's IT!!!
 Software:
 * Scroll down this sketch and enter your preferences of mac and IP addresses, pinouts, etc.
 * There are multiple debug serial prints that can be monitored to assure that it is operating properly.  to enable DEBUG printing, uncomment accordingly
 * https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads for the I2C library, or use yours
 * Add virtual switches to your Vera by following instructions here:http://faq.mios.com/content/2/40/en/how-to-create-virtual-device.html
