HI there,

Hi everyone,

Firstly when working on my local LAN it works perfectly. However I have a small issue where by when connection from the web via dynamic IP > Router > Port forwarding. I enter the correct address and a connection is made however the browser downloads a file called download.
I cannot seem to find any information on this error, although I'm probably looking in all the wrong places.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just a quick hello to say your Battery based atmega328p sensor (no SMD) and the companion boards are exactly what I was looking for. Ordered 10 of each today and cant wait to get cracking on building them.
Great work btw

@jkandasa

Thanks jkandasa work great. I shall leave you alone to rest up for a while as its 4:30 am over there. I'm sure I'll have more questions at some point in the future, but for now you have been a great help so thank you very much. Take care and have a great day.

As requested this is the alarm i have configured.

@jkandasa
Ok one final nob question if you don't mind?

I have configured the Alarm as suggested but set the active time for 1 min for testing. The alarm triggers as it should but I cant see where the triggering of this alarm turns off the relay. Sorry if this is a silly question but I can't for the life of me see where to configure it.

Many thanks
Glen

@jkandasa
Great idea! Ill do that now. Thanks again for being so helpful.

@jkandasa

Thank you jkandasa,
I was looking at it from completely the wrong direction trying to cover everything with just one alarm. I have reconfigured as you suggested and also added a forward payload which turns on a relay to water plants and turns it off when soil is wet.

Working perfectly thank you so much for your help with this.

Hi and thank you for your help with this.

I'm using the default MySensor sketch, the read function is as follows:-
the serial output shows that when the sensor is wet (not triggered) a 1 is sent and Dry (triggered) a 0 is sent.
I have changed the Dampening to none for now.

void loop()     
{     
  // Read digital soil value
  int soilValue = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SOIL_SENSOR); // 1 = Not triggered, 0 = In soil with water 
  if (soilValue != lastSoilValue) {
    Serial.println(soilValue);
    gw.send(msg.set(soilValue==0?1:0));  // Send the inverse to gw as tripped should be when no water in soil
  
    lastSoilValue = soilValue;
  }

Hi there,

I have tried setting the "Trigger When" option to 1 and 0 but it still seems to be reversed.
Many thanks.

Hi everyone,

Firstly a big thank you to everyone for your great ideas, guides and guidance. This site got my greenhouse project off to a flying start.
I have one question which is probably going to expose my noobness.

I have various sensors running on various test uno boards including multiple temp sensors on one uno and a single soil sensor on another.
All there are reporting to my Ethernet Gateway then to MyController running on a Pi.
Im using the digital output of the sensor and it shows up correctly in MyController. However the alarm is only triggered when the sensor goes from dry to wet not wet to dry. I have read through the sketch and it mentions inverting the send to allow for this. Am I missing something?

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Glen
