When I toggle the switch in HomeAssistant, I do get a V_STATUS update message in receive() and see it print through in the logs.

So, the toggle itself causes a status message, but I cannot figure out a way to actually poll the status.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been going crazy trying to figure this one out.

I have a sketch hooked up to HomeAssistant. The basic sketch just toggles a switch back and forth. The actual sending of the updates works -- as the sketch toggles the switch, I see the switch moving back and forth in the HA UI.

However, when I try to request the V_STATUS of the switch, I see the message going out through the gateway and onto the MQTT, but I never get anything back. receive() never gets called with a status message.

I'm currently on the development version of MySensors, but I had the same issue on 2.0. I just switched to development an hour ago to see if that would solve the problem, but alas, it didn't.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

My Sketch

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG 

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

#define RELAY_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin number for relay 
#define CHILD_ID 2   // Id of the sensor child
#define RELAY_ON 0
#define RELAY_OFF 1

bool state;

MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_STATUS);

void setup()  
{  

  // Make sure relays are off when starting up
  digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, RELAY_OFF);
  // Then set relay pins in output mode
  pinMode(RELAY_PIN, OUTPUT);   
}

void presentation()  {
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo("Relay & Button", "1.0");

  // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
  present(CHILD_ID, S_BINARY);


}


int flip = 0;
void loop() 
{
  send(msg.set(flip),false);
  flip=flip?0:1;
  wait(5000);
  request(CHILD_ID,V_STATUS);
  wait(2000,C_SET,V_STATUS);
  
} 

void receive(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
  Serial.println("Got a message");
  if (message.isAck()) {
     Serial.println("This is an ack from gateway");
  }

  if (message.type == V_STATUS) {
    Serial.println("Got V_STATUS back:");
    Serial.println(message.getBool());
     Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
     Serial.print(message.sensor);
     
     // Change relay state
     state = message.getBool();
     digitalWrite(RELAY_PIN, state?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF);


   } 
}
