It might be with the sensor itself? My readins are very unrealiable:
Its a DHT11

Also - I tried to reboot Vera and now I got "MySensors plugin : Cannot send command - communications error" ....
Hello all,
So I got my ethernet GW going , as well as my first testing sensor and I run on VeraPlus gateway.
The sensor is working and the gateway is ethernet GW is recieving data:
It is a bit unstable - sometimes I get: "Failed reading humidity from DHT" but most of the time it works ok. I do not have a resistor on the PCB for the DHT though.
On vera the recognition of the sensor went fine, I got a node and 2 readings - temp and humidity. My problem really is that although I can see the values being recieved by the GW via serial monitor - Vera does not show it - it's just blank:
Any ideas?
Gents (and Ladies) my plugin as depicted does not have an inclusion start/stop button as referenced for other Vera models. Do I start the inclusion process in the same fashion as for other Z-wave devices using Vera inclusion?
One observation: Having the GW next to my Vera, it seems some of my Z-wave devices that I had placed further away, now can't connect - strange, it seems like the range has decreased but I have to test it properly.
Wow , ok with the approach from Peter/BartE it showed up.
Now I guess I have to configure it:
For the Used by device: setting, select the Arduino Gateway Plugin [] from the menu of available devices.
Set baud rate to 115200.
Set the parity to none with 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
I don't see Arduino GW plugin - but I see MySensors Plugin (if this is right then I suggest to update the Vera setup page).
So it's configured and I see :
I will try to plug in some sensor to test it out but I must say that if the power goes out and Its stuck then I have a problem. Would you say that the Ethernet GW has the same issue? Has anyone tested it?
BTW. Thanks guys - you rock!
Yes, this occurred to me as well so I changed for other USB mini cable. No change. too bad I don't have more Nano's lying around to test it - but this one was used for testing of the NRF transciever some 2 years back. I just connected it to PC , loaded the new sketch and connected to Vera.
Hello Hek,
I believe the FTDI is genuine, have a look - it's a bit blurry
For the import of the vera files I used Vera-UI7 branch - imported actually all that was in except the CONTRIBUTING.md, .project and .gitattributes.
Dear friends,
Having purchased the new Vera plus I waned to start attaching my custom sensors into the controllers.
The checklist first:
Mysensors plugin - seemed all ok, uploaded all jsons and xml definition files, created the device, powercycled - gateway showed up, although with an error.
Connected the serial gateway - checked wiring, used V3 board, uploaded the code, and as seen below the pwr and red light are on (all the time).
App - went into serial port configuration and no luck - device not there. Powercycled several times - no luck.
Plugin version 1.5 - attaching variables (UI7) - dashboard shows the below all the time:
Parameters:
6.Variables:
This is all I could think of - browsed the forum and sam a lot of possible topics but in all cases the device got recognized somehow but did not work - mine is not showing up. I have a IP GW module en route but till then I wanted to try the serial one first.
I would really appreciate your feedback and experience with this. Anything I can do?
Thanks!
