Ikea Molgan Hack with Wemos D1 mini or NodeMCU (WIFI, ESP8266)

[ehome]

Re: Ikea Molgan Hack

Hi all,

I really like the idea of the referenced topic: Building a multi motion sensor with ArduinoPro mini + NRF radio.

But instead of using an ArduinoPro mini and NRF I would like to use an ESP8266 board like the Wemos D1 mini or NodeMCU board together with the build in motion sensor from the ikea molgan device.

But unfortunately I'm not able to get this combination to work.
Problem: The PIR sensor of the ikea molgan device stays forever high (+3v) as soon as I connect my Wemos or NodeMcu board.

Steps that I have done:

1. Removed R17 to disable all LEDs at once
2. Removed the light sensor (CDS)
3. Soldered a wire to the right pin of R17, which will signal the motion state.
4. Connected two wires to (+) and (-) from my 5V/3A power supply
5. Connected the same (+) and (-) in parallel to my ESPBoard (VIN) (GND)
6. Connected the PIR signal wire with the an digital input pin on my ESPBoard

Scenario1: (PIR and ESP connected with power supply)
PIR state is always high

Scenario2: (PIR and ESP connected with power supply and PIR signal cable to ESP)
PIR state is always high

Scenario3: (only PIR is connected with power supply, without any ESPBoard)
PIR state toggles like expected: motion = 3V high / no motion = 0V low

Do you have any ideas what could be the problem here?

[gohan]

Could be some interference from the wifi chip. Try to move the pir sensor 30/40cm away from the wemos and see if it works better. But why choosing an esp8266 solution for a pir sensor? Esp8266 is quite power hungry when it is transmitting and I suspect a pir sensor will be triggering quite often as people move around

[ehome]

@gohan thanks for your reply.
Interesting idea. Moved the ESPBoard 90-100cm away from the PIR but still the same problem.

Power consumption will be not a big deal because I don't want to use it with an battery. I will power all my sensors with an small USB power supply.

The future plan is to integrate all my main sensors into this housing. Temperature, Humidity, Light and Motion. So in future this sensor will not just act like an PIR. And my sketch including the mysensors library is very big so that I had stability problems with ArduinoUNO, Pro mini, etc... because of insufficient memory.

I found out:
If I use a separate power supply for my ESPBoard then everything is working like expected. But to have two power supplies for every sensor is not very handy... Any ideas why it is not possible to power the ikea PIR and the ESPBoard from the same power supply? The specs from my power supply (5V/3A) are definitly good enough for both.

[gohan]

The classic Arduino pir sensor gets triggered by very small power fluctuations. Look for Am612 sensors instead

[ehome]

I do still have huge problems with PIR motion detector modules together with ESP8266 boards. (NodeMCU or Wemos D1)

Problem:
Sometimes the PIR do have false triggers or the state of the PIR output pin is always high.

This as been tested with an HC-SR501 and AM312.
Tried different voltages 3V/5V and power supplies.

Everything is working as expexted if I'm using the same PIR with my ArduinoUno board.

Any ideas how I could get this to work?

My target goal is:
I like to have a multi-sensor with the following minimum set of sensors:

• Temperatur

• Humidity

• Light

• Motion

• Sensor values via MQTT to my home automation central like openhab.

• Board with more memory and ram like the ESP8266 boards

[gohan]

Am312 shouldn't have false readings, quite some people used them. Can you try to run them on batteries an see if anything changes? Also keep pir sensor away from antenna

[ehome]

Thanks for your reply.
I did some further tests. And I think it defenitly has something to do with the WIFI from the ESP8266 modules. (intereference problems?)

I wrote a small sketch with much less WIFI activity. But as soon as the module sends the sensor data via WIFI to my home automation central then the PIR starts with false readings.

Keeping the PIR away from the antenna could be a workaround but I really like to have all components in one small wall or ceiling mounted case.

I also did a lot of research but was not really able to find a working solution for this.
I'm wondering if no one else here also had this problem in the past? Maybe because the most people here don't use the ESP8266 modules? But I really need the space and speed from these modules.

I'm also not so happy with the angle from 100° of the AM312 PIR.
There are any other PIR solutions on the market? Or any other sensor (not to expensive) to get a working motion detection. (human motion)

[gohan]

There is am612 sensor if you want to build your own. I also saw quite some people start using the xiaomi sensors.

[Yveaux]

@ehome said in Ikea Molgan Hack with Wemos D1 mini or NodeMCU (WIFI, ESP8266):

But as soon as the module sends the sensor data via WIFI to my home automation central then the PIR starts with false readings

Could still be related to power, as @gohan suggested, as power draw will increase significantly when wifi is transmitting.
Try powering directly from batteries first.

[electrik]

Maybe this helps

http://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=671&start=20

There are more people with these issues, read through the entire post.

[ehome]

@electrik thanks for your reply. I also already found and read this post.
And I already placed an order for the different required parts. They should arrive in the next 1-2 days.

[gohan]

What did you ordered?

[ehome]

@gohan Some people in the post (see link above) suggested to use some capacitors for the BISS0001 chip or between the power supply to act as rc filter.
So I've ordered different types of capacitors, resistors and some other electronic parts.

Few minutes ago I found some left overs of some 220nF ceramic capacitors.
It was a little bit tricky to solder because of the very, very small SMD size 0402. But was able to put it between PIN12 and PIN13 of the BISS0001 chip.

The first test run for one hour looks really good. Had no false triggers and also no triggers while WIFI is active for data transmission.
Negative: First impression is that also the sensitivity of the sensor is decreased by this capacitor.

Will make further tests an post the updates here.

[ehome]

After some further tests over several hours I still had some false triggers.
But it is much better than without the capacitors.
The next step I did is that I put a peace of aluminium foil between my PIR PCB and ESP8266 board.

This combination capacitor + aluminium foil is now running since 2 hours without any false triggers.

Its really annoying that such simple requirement (motion detection) makes so huge problems

Is there any other with similar specs and cheap micro controller that you could suggest?

I also thought about using an IR array like GRID-EYE for motion detection. But these electronic parts are quite expensive.

I would be happy over any suggestion for an replacement either the micro controller board or motion sensor.

[gohan]

Could you please post your code? I'd like to see why it is using so much memory

[ehome]

@gohan
If I am uploading the sketch below then I get the warning from the ArduinoIDE that only few ressources are left / its complaining about stability problems that my occur. (also with debugging disabled)

And if I run this on a ArduinoUNO or Micro then after a few hours the board doesn't respond anymore. I have to power off and on (or reset) to get it working again.

 * DESCRIPTION
 * The W5100 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker.
 * The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
 * nRF24L01+  ESP8266
 * VCC        VCC
 * CE         GPIO4
 * CSN/CS     GPIO15
 * SCK        GPIO14
 * MISO       GPIO12
 * MOSI       GPIO13
 *
 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
