cant get setSafeguard to work with NodeManager 1.8dev



  • Hi

    First of all, since this is my first post. Thank you all who have made this possible and so easy for us to use, especially NodeManager.

    I'm currently working on a garage sensor. Everything is working except this safeguard.
    I'm using a relay to open my garage door, but I only need a puls so I want to de-energize the relay as soon as possible. I tried to use;

    // [108] when switching on, turns the output off after the given number of milliseconds. For latching relay controls the pulse width (default: 0)
        void setPulseWidth(int value);
    

    It worked, but with power loss it would send one puls at startup, I tried using EEPROM, but still the same problem.

    So I thought it would be possible to use it as a normal relay and then use setSafeguard to be sure to cut the signal to the relay within a short time. Nothing happens when I try to use setSafeguard.

    Here is my code. If anyone can see where my mistake is, or have another solution how to make a momentary relay with nodeManager. I would be very happy ๐Ÿ™‚

  • It Looks like I can somewhat answer my own question.
    I got Safeguard to work, even if I have set it to 1minute, it doesn't update before next

      // report measures of every attached sensors every 10 minutes
      nodeManager.setReportIntervalMinutes(10);
    

    So it takes 10minutes, even if I have sent it to 1min. Is it supposed to be like this or is it a bug?

    Sorry for the delay first of all, unfortunately I didn't get the notification of this thread ๐Ÿ˜• If you are using a latching relay I'd recommend using SensorLatchingRelay1Pin or SensorLatchingRelay2Pins which should take better all the aspects of a latching relay. Then you can still use the safeguard for closing the door after a given timeframe. And yes you have to set a reporting interval even if not intuitive at all. This is because the safeguard is checked in the loop cycle which is called only if a reporting interval is set. So if you have a safeguard set to 1 minute, the report interval should be 1 minute or less. Thanks!
