Hi all,

First of all, great controller. i've been using for a week, and it is great!!

I define my self as a complete noobs, and so, i'm here asking for your assistance, if you please.
I've got the MySensors gateway in a raspberry pi. It has Mycontroller in the same pi as well. its configured as ethernet, and listening in 0.0.0.0:5003. All the nodes appearing, wich means, working great.
Sadly, i've got a power down in my house, for an instant, but the raspberry pi rebooted.
First issue, i'cant put MYcontroller to start at boot. Following all the steps, i got:

I dont know else what to do. I've used root login to put the file in the etc/init.d folder, done everything in the tutorial, but i am still getting that error. What can i do?

Also, and this is issue number 2 i've found that the gateway, after a few hours, had a status DOWN. and even after checking everything, that did not changed.. So i've formated the SD card, and installed everything again. Now, it is active and working, but i am not sure why that happened.

Can i ask please for your assistance on those matters?

Thanks in advance!!
Andre

hi @niccodemi that did the trick.

I've made a quick comparison and i guess the issue was that i've defined my button without a proper array.

this also has a change i think is important. i had a push button, and i wanted a toggle

Just made a change. i want relay on to be 1 (high) and off to be 0 (low).
This way, it starts every time at 0

many thanks!!

@mfalkvidd the example is provided here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/master/examples/RelayWithButtonActuator/RelayWithButtonActuator.ino

what you are mentioning is the example where you can put multiple relays, but without any button actuator.

Thanks

@mfalkvidd this is the example

Hi all,

i've been trying for the last few hours to convert a multirelaywithbutton actuator to 2.0 with no sucess...

the most i get is a "random" id of the relays in domoticz, and the buttons dont work properly..

As so, i've founded an example in 2.0 but to a single relay.
the sketch i've found in examples is:

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

Can anyone help geting this so i can have:
4 relays
4 buttons
domoticz also controling each one?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @thm ,

can you share your working code? i'cant help you with the update but you could help me, because i cant get my gateway working.

many thanks in advance

Well, the behaviour is odd. it blinks but nothing shows in the serial monitor. Also, domoticz dont find it..
i will try other things

thanks anyway

Hi scalz,

Thanks for your reply.

I've tested that, and the sketch did compile. However, did not worked.

I've tested all the connections. everything is ok. simple does not work.

Someone have a code that works, so that i can use?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,

First of all, great community here! learned a lot!!

Althougt i'm a really rookie in all of this.

I've built som temperature nodes, with ds18b20 + nrf24l01 + arduino pro mini.
built a serial gateway and everything worked fine in domoticz.

now, i want to do some other trial, and its a fail over a fail.
i've a arduino nano+enc28j60+nrf24l01.
ive used the connection diagram avail here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway
I've used also the code avail in the link above. changed the ip, mac addr, loaded to the arduino, and got the error 0;0;3;0;9;radio init fail.
Uncomment the softspi in myconfig.h, like i've saw in the forum. i was so thriled this would work, and i've got the error my sketch was too big. (just uncommented softspi).

in this point, i'm asking, if someone can help me.

Many thanks in advance
