    • Geeetechยฎ Voice Recognition Module

      I was looking for new projects, so i was looking for new cool sensors and found the voice recognition module of Geeetech. Because of the price of the sensor, I was wondering anyone already played with this module and integrated it successfully in a home automation system? For me some basic commands would do for example Lamp on, lamp off, Dim lights. I know there are some nice products on the market as Google home, Amazon Echo but as long as you only can buy a US version i wont buy it.

      I already found a page with setting up the sensor: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-a-Serial-Voice-Recognition-Module-Ardui/

      So let me know your thought on this one.

    • RE: Mysensor gateway node is not connecting to Domoticz

      @mfalkvidd Thank you.....if forgot to upload the gateway software. I thought flashing the NodeMCU was enough. And of-coarse i had to update in the gateway software also the router information. That was the step i forgot ๐Ÿ˜ž

    • RE: Mysensors gateway (v2.2.0) keeps rebooting

      @mfalkvidd I never thought of that, but that could indeed be the case. In domoticz there is no data timeout configured. So still cant explain why domoticz is reconnecting.

      @electrik i am not using MQTT with the gateway. I use still the 2.3.0 board.

      @sundberg84 ooh that is not very long ..i hoped for a couple of months....but then I should consider this board as depreciated and build a new one and use this for development. Thanks for your reaction.

    • RE: ๐Ÿ’ฌ Easy/Newbie PCB for MySensors

      @sundberg84 yes i thought so, but i want to make sure. I have some Rev 10 boards and i was working on a node for my bathroom with a DHT11 sensor. I had some problems with it, therefore watching your video. But it looks like the step up booster was not working correctly. Unfortunately removing the booster i damaged the board because with a new booster the arduino won't get power any more. So this board only works without the booster (and reg jumper connected). Any idea how long this setup (with removed led on arduino) will last on batteries?

    • RE: ๐Ÿ’ฌ Easy/Newbie PCB for MySensors

      Hello @sundberg84. I watched your video 9+ 'MySensors Battery Node 2xAA - EasyPCB (Nrf24l01+)and Temp Sensor' . I have two questions about this video:

      • I noticed you connected the tempsensor to the extra prototype part of the board, but i could not see in the video how you connected signal pin of the sensor to the arduino.
      • you added a resistor to D5 Temp/Hum, but you did not add the sensor to the mysX2.4 part of the board. Why is that?

    • Mysensors gateway (v2.2.0) keeps rebooting

      Recently I updated my MySensors gateway (ESP8266) to version 2.2.0. Perhaps i didn't noticed it while i used the older version, but because i updated it I noticed that the gateway is rebooting regularly. Still my sensors are working fine. I am using Domoticz as controler (latest beta)

      Any ideas to narrow down this issue? I already tried several different radio's, but i don't have spare ESP8266 boards lying around

    • RE: ๐Ÿ’ฌ Easy/Newbie PCB for MySensors

      @sundberg84 I just finished my first battery sensor node based on the Easy PCB Rev 9. I have two questions i hope you can help me with:

      The first is about the battery measurement. Because i didn't have a 0.1 uf lying around i used an 0.2 uf capacitor. I am using the following script to measure the battery.

      //=========================
      // BATTERY VOLTAGE DIVIDER SETUP
      // 1M, 470K divider across battery and using internal ADC ref of 1.1V
      // Sense point is bypassed with 0.1 uF cap to reduce noise at that point
      // ((1e6+470e3)/470e3)*1.1 = Vmax = 3.44 Volts
      // 3.44/1023 = Volts per bit = 0.003363075
      #define VBAT_PER_BITS 0.003363075  
      #define VMIN 1.9                                  //  Vmin (radio Min Volt)=1.9V (564v)
      #define VMAX 3.0                                  //  Vmax = (2xAA bat)=3.0V (892v)
      int batteryPcnt = 0;                              // Calc value for battery %
      int batLoop = 0;                                  // Loop to help calc average
      int batArray[3];                                  // Array to store value for average calc.
      int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;                       // select the input pin for the battery sense point
      //=========================   
      
      
         // Calculate the battery in %
         float Vbat  = sensorValue * VBAT_PER_BITS;
         int batteryPcnt = static_cast<int>(((Vbat-VMIN)/(VMAX-VMIN))*100.);
         Serial.print("Battery percent: "); Serial.print(batteryPcnt); Serial.println(" %");  
      

      Do i need to change anything in the formula? Because i getting reading around the 130%

      Requesting temperature...DONE
      Temperatuur : 26.62 Degrees C
      11935 TSF:MSG:SEND,25-25-0-0,s=5,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:26.6
      Battery percent: 131 %
      Battery Voltage: 3.35 V
      Sleep...
      12945 MCO:SLP:MS=900000,SMS=0,I1=0,M1=1,I2=254,M2=1
      12955 TSF:TDI:TSL
      
      

      If i use the following method:

      //----
         // 1M, 470K divider across battery and using internal ADC ref of 1.1V
         // Sense point is bypassed with 0.1 uF cap to reduce noise at that point
         // ((1e6+470e3)/470e3)*1.1 = Vmax = 3.44 Volts
         // 3.44/1023 = Volts per bit = 0.003363075
         float batteryV  = sensorValue * 0.003363075;
         int batteryPcntNEW = sensorValue / 10;
      
         Serial.print("Battery percent: ");
         Serial.print(batteryPcntNEW);
         Serial.println(" %");
      //----
      

      I am getting: (this is expected, because batteries are new)

      Battery percent: 99 %
      Sleep...
      12945 MCO:SLP:MS=900000,SMS=0,I1=0,M1=1,I2=254,M2=1
      12955 TSF:TDI:TSL
      
      

      My second question is about casing: any tips on which case to use which fit your board and a battery pack? and is as small as possible? Do you perhaps have links of your favourite (Chinese) sellers?

      @mfalkvidd

      Is it so simple?

      You only have to add : #define MY_RF24_CHANNEL 86 (before the MySensors.h) in both the sensor sketch as the gateway sketch?

    • Problems with expanding my MySensors network

      I have a couple of sensor nodes in my house on the ground floor. Now i would like to expand the network in my house so i am trying to get my first sensors up an running on the first floor, but with no luck. It seems that the radio (NRF24) cant get trough my concrete floor (the floor is solid concrete and around 40 cm thick with a lot of iron for reinforcement). I don't have problems with walls, not even when signal has to travel to multiple rooms before reaching the gateway.

      My first thought were "ooh lets build another ethernet/Esp8266 gateway and place this one on the first floor". But after i build this and trying to get this up and running i read that you can only have one gateway ๐Ÿ˜ž

      I already tried to extend the antenna of the radio, but with no luck. I don't have a power outlet near my stairs, for placing a repeater node. (and a long cable is not WAF proof)

      So i was wondering anyone have a tip, for solving this problem. Thanks in advance!
