Hello,

Here an update of the original sketch with a small modif to add a buzzer for validating the keypress.

It will beep once for short key press and twice for the long one.

The buzzer is connected on D3 and the beep length can be adjusted in the function.

Let me share with you a small project I did to monitor the radio-activity and temperature (2 sensors).

The device is installed in my garage and one or the temp. probe is installed in the laundry.

It is built around the following Geiger counter module : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Geiger-counter-dosimeter-kit-assembled-w-SBT11A-tube-iR-USB-Arduino-compat/162946293010

Since I have a RFM69 based network, I got the 3.3V module version.

The tube is an SBT-11a detecting the alpha, beta & gamma radiations and the temp sensors are 2 x 1 wire Dallas DS18B20.

Here the output (Domoticz)

The script is really simple. I used the temp sample https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp
and modified it to push the data to the controller when the geiger counter sends the value to the serial port. To get it working, I had to place the geiger counter in RADLOGGER mode using the IR remote control. Then by adjusting the LOG PERIOD parameters I have defined the frequency at which the counter is pushing the data to the serial port, thus triggering the transmission to the controller (every 5 mn here).

      send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature, 1));
      // Save new temperatures for next compare
      lastTemperature[i] = temperature;
    }
  }
  //sleep(SLEEP_TIME);

   }
}

To code is really not optimised but it works at least :)) Feel free to optimise / share

There is another possible approach to work with this counter. It is possible to generate an impulse on an output pin at every tube discharge. This is then possible to read these impulses from the arduino then convert them to the right value (CPM, µSv/h...).

Stay safe !

All the best !

Hello,

I have a Strange problem appearing since I have started to upgrade my network from 2.1.1 to 2.2.0

I am using a Domoticz v.3.8153 / Raspbian + a serial GW on NRF.
Some of the devices are communicating to the GW through a repeater node equipped with a nrf24l01 PA LNA since they are just too far from the GW.

Not all of the nodes are upgraded to 2.2.0, some are still running 2.1.1

• the battery level reporting disappeared from all of the connected node (but one is still working : a senserblender micro with the original TempHum sketch)

• The repeater node sometime stopped relaying the connection to the GW (on random time ?). Only thing I found is to restart this node)

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot.

Jef
