Anyway to stop the Arduino from doing anything when the radio fails? I am using an actuator and the problem is if radio fails whatever command was sent to the actuator will continue. This is a problem as I have set a value for it to stop, if it doesn't stop it will break my window or the actuator. But when the radio fails it stops running the code, is there a way to stop the Arduino or just send a stop command to my relay when the radio fails?

@moskovskiy82

Looking for an answer on this too? Did you happen to figure this out?

@Anduril

Yea thats what I thought, and I see it. Ill check this out thanks

Well, in that case, it seems you are missing the receiving part of the code. This is directly from the example for the actuator and it works for me... It goes at the end of the code after the void loop.

// process incoming message
void receive(const MyMessage &message) {

  if (message.type == V_LIGHT) {
    if (message.sensor < noRelays) {          // check if message is valid for relays..... previous line  [[[ if (message.sensor <=noRelays){ ]]]
      Relays[message.sensor].relayState = message.getBool();
      digitalWrite(Relays[message.sensor].relayPin, Relays[message.sensor].relayState ? RELAY_ON : RELAY_OFF); // and set relays accordingly
      saveState( message.sensor, Relays[message.sensor].relayState ); // save sensor state in EEPROM (location == sensor number)
      Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:");
      Serial.print(message.sensor);
      Serial.print(", New status: ");
      Serial.print(message.getBool());
      if(message.getBool() == 0)
        Serial.println(" = OFF");
      else(Serial.println(" = ON"));
    }
  }
}

I have bounce2... Ill try redownloading it

@mfalkvidd

I get this error "'class Bounce' has no member named 'fell'"

@Anduril

Because I am controlling an actuator with the ability for manual controls with a button. I want 1 button when held down to open it and another button when held down to close. With debounce I have to click it to open, click it again to turn of relay, then click the other button to retract, and then click to turn of relay.

@Ericb2745

I think you are missing in your arduino code the process for sending the relay information to OpenHAB. Try using this:

send(msg.set(state?false:true), true); // Send new state and request ack back

Also I can't see the entire item file but you may be missing or incorrectly settting your MQTT binding. This is mine for reference:

Switch  OpenWindow 			"Extend Actuator"							<rollershutter> 	(gH)								{mqtt=">[mymosquitto:mysensors-in/5/0/1/0/2:command:ON:1],>[mymosquitto:mysensors-in/5/0/1/0/2:command:OFF:0]"}

I am trying to figure out how to have multiple relays (2 in my case) with a button to trip the relays but without the debounce. I want the relay to only be active while the switch is being pushed. Could anyone help me with this?

Ok I got it working, not sure what I did But I changed my items and followed a few other guides but in all its working now.
