Weather Station with Scene Activator!!!

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)

@korttoma said:

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)

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.

@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?

[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

@BulldogLowell I finally am getting somewhere with my project, however after some time working with it I have found that I would rather send data from other Arduino sensors to the LCD project directly rather than send it to Vera and then run a piece of Luup code every 15 minutes to then populate the variables the screen uses. I have looked all over the forums and cannot seem to find the right bit on information on MySensors 1.4 and how to send data from one node to the other, any assistance would be great.

@cleight

I've got a vera-centric build, so I haven't messed with this in a while, but there are send( ) and request( ) functions in the API... have you explored that yet?

I would have the remote sensor repeat every so often (e.g. one minute) and add the that node's specifics to the incoming message callback function for the display device.

We should have an example of Node-to-Node communication in the examples...

@BulldogLowell I agree I think it would benefit the community to have a node to node example on the site.
