@Dalhoj I know it's not much of a help that I've been trying to do pretty much the same thing and using the same statements you are and countering the same problems, I'm not a programmer or from a programming background but I try and understand as much as possible about what's going on but I just can't seem to get my head around it..
Kind regards.

just one of the build
sensor node with smoke detection, mess light level, humidty and temp
en also the posibl to remotly test the smoke detector

and spare for motion detector and trip

Great idea, like the way you've doubled the function of the smoke detector by utilising the space.

@rvendrame thanks I think I get what you mean I'll give that a go still not sure if I'm On the right path.

Having a bit of problem receiving Data from another node am I missing something here or do I need to add something to the transmitting node. Just can't think where to go from here. HELP! Please.
Andy.

@FotoFieber Thank you for your response much appreciated I'm not much of a coder but I can feel my way through if I have examples to work from and this will help a bit .
Thank you Andy.

andyuno

Is there someone who can tell me where I'm going wrong, here I can't seem to get the data from another node, Am I missing something here or do I have to put something in on my transmitting node, not sure where to go from here. HELP! Please.
Thanks Andy

Using through-hole & pants is fine for components i.e. NRF24l01. I found Eagle to have most of what I needed within the library but you can download more libraries by doing a search for Eagle libraries.

andyuno

Is there a way of displaying radio information with in Vera, from each node i.e. signal strength and ID.

andyuno

This is my first printed circuit, refined a little, might actually get this one done.

If you upload your design to https://oshpark.com they will quote you for free boards and it will give you a good representation of what you're bored will look like how cool is that.

andyuno

@sansespere.. Nice work, I don't think I would've got most of that, now that should give me something to work from thanks.

andyuno

I downloaded the Eagle free version, and watch all three videos. And i actually produce a usable circuit board.I found it's quite easy and quite straightforward and think that most people on this site will be able to actually produce a circuit board. The Software is quite intuitive and easy to use.

@sansespere said:

Awesome - pushing from the sensor at the same time it sends to the gateway has got it working. Will have to create what will almost be a stripped down version of a gateway to process all incoming messages and assign the contents to the correct variables for the screen : )

Thanks for the advice!

Hey Great idea been trying something similar myself sometime but getting nowhere any chance of you sharing some of your code, that might help me get started. What size LCD are you thinking of of using, or are you just going to use a small LCD menu driven with a couple buttons.

andyuno

@andyuno that didn't take me long I'm getting good…at this:)

andyuno

okay I'v work that one out I've got it working, all I need to do now is go from Fahrenheit to Celsius

andyuno

I am using the same senses DHT22 and having the same problem, no temperature Reading humidity seems to be working fine just doesn't make any sense.

andyuno

I think this is a good basis to start. A standard set of multi-senses based on temperature, humidity, light and movement which I think would be useful in all applications

andyuno

I change this line to

Ethernet.begin(mac);

my roots issued an IP address

andyuno

Thanks, been doing some more testing it seems as though my movement sensor interacts with the relays which wasn't my intention, and I have no control over them within Vera.

andyuno

Well this is my first attempt of merging some senses the code compiled with no errors, and they recognised by Vera, but I get no readings or activations as if they're dead

I think I've overlooked something in order not for this to work

andyuno

@henno
Thanks for the pointer I'll give that a go

andyuno

I know nothing of programming, I am comparing all the sensor sketch with each other and trying to work it out from there.
My first one will be Motion sensor and four relay unit.

andyuno

Any help on implementing multiple sensors and readings on one Arduino would be appreciated.

andyuno

Great news I've managed to solve this problem myself,

andyuno

Do you mean it doesn't connect to your wired ethernet network?
Did you configure the IP address in the sketch to the subnet of your LAN, and can you ping the gateway from another computer?

Thank you for your reply yes I did mean it doesn't connect to my wired ethernet network, I also change the IP address.

andyuno

Hi I wonder if anyone could help I read in the instructions that you should be able to use an Arduino uno and wiznet Shield in order to create a gateway, I've downloaded the ethernet gateway program which uploads fine but will not connect to my network, my network doesn't see it at all, tested all the hardware and all the hardware is working fine can anyone help
Thanks Andy.
