@OldSurferDude
The complete wipe seems to have worked. I also changed the version on HA's integration to 2.3 to match the MySensors library I use on the sketches.
Thanks for the workaround.

Dbagioni

My set up is via a Serial gateway. MySensors nodes/gateway are running V2.3, but my HA only is listing version as 1.4, not sure if that could be part of my issue. Im going to try shutting down the gateway, uninstalling the intergration and then going form there. Presently Im only seeing traffic from one sensor.

Dbagioni

Ive been running HA for about a year now. Around July(ish) I noticed Mysensors just suddenly seemed to only work with nodes that were registered prior. None of my new sensors or switches are discovered and many of my sensors have gone dead. Any thoughts or fixes?

Im new to HA. Ive just transitioned from another platform to HA. Im running my HA on a Ubuntu 20.04 server, and installled the HA via Docker.
When I search I can find me serial gateway on /dev/ttyUSB0, but when I enter the info into the HA integration I get "invalid serial port". Can anyone give me a clue as to how to get this running?

@vores8 just down loaded it and installed. Showing up online with my serial gateway. Gonna let it run but looks like it’s working now. Nice work, and thank you.

The code I posted is the raw code for the zero-cross dimmer. When I had tried to merge the "dimmer with rotary encoder" sketch and the zero-cross code I had wired it up with the ZC pin as 2 and the PWM pin on 3. Encoder was wired: SW pin on 4, CLK pin on 5 and CE pin on 6. 7/8/A2 were used for status LED's.

I was running it with an older NANO with the 328.

Has anyone found a safe and reliable dimmer code to with with an AC dimmer? I have been racking my brains and cant find a good working code. I'm using commercially made pwm/zero cross dimmers from RobotDYN(see picture). I can get a 12 volt version working but have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Disclaimer - Im a hardware guy not a code guy.

My end goal would be to get it working with the rotary encoder. This is the RAW pwm/zero crossing code.

#include "hw_timer.h"
#include <Time.h>
#include <TimeLib.h>
#include <TimeAlarms.h>

//Pin Setups
const int zcPin = 12; //zero-cross detection pin D6
const int pwmPin = 13;  //pwm pin - fires the triac D7

//Dimmer Settings including fades.
byte fade = 1;
byte state = 1;
byte tarBrightness = 255; //"target" brightness - going to have go convert this to a precentage for OH
byte curBrightness = 0; //current brightness level
byte zcState = 0; // 0 = ready; 1 = processing;

char lvl[50];

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200); //Sets the data rate in bits per second (baud) for serial data transmission.

  //Dimmer pins -set up the pwm and zero cross pins
  pinMode(zcPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(pwmPin, OUTPUT);
  attachInterrupt(zcPin, zcDetectISR, RISING);    // Attach an Interupt to Pin 2 (interupt 0) for Zero Cross Detection
  hw_timer_init(NMI_SOURCE, 0);
  hw_timer_set_func(dimTimerISR);

 } // END SETUP

void dimTimerISR() {
  if (fade == 1) {
    if (curBrightness > tarBrightness || (state == 0 && curBrightness > 0)) {
      --curBrightness;
    }
    else if (curBrightness < tarBrightness && state == 1 && curBrightness < 255) {
      ++curBrightness;
    }
  }
  else {
    if (state == 1) {
      curBrightness = tarBrightness;
    }
    else {
      curBrightness = 0;
    }
  }

  if (curBrightness == 0) {
    state = 0;
    digitalWrite(pwmPin, 0);
  }
  else if (curBrightness == 255) {
    state = 1;
    digitalWrite(pwmPin, 1);
  }
  else {
    digitalWrite(pwmPin, 1);
  }

  zcState = 0;
}

void zcDetectISR() {
  if (zcState == 0) {
    zcState = 1;

    if (curBrightness < 255 && curBrightness > 0) {
      digitalWrite(pwmPin, 0);

      int dimDelay = 30 * (255 - curBrightness) + 400;//400
      hw_timer_arm(dimDelay);
    }
  }
}

Can anyone help?

Morning all.
Ive just had to completely rebuild my openhab and mysensors set up. Im running OH 2.4 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, with the MySensors 2.4 bindings. Gateway compiles and runs fine....butttt I acidentaly configured --my-leds-blinking-inverse. How do i unconfigure it.

Second led issue. The red error led is always lit, no blink, just steady burn. It is wired as noted in the guide.

Should i reneter the options and then remake the gate way? Im not sure how to go about this I was using arduinos before and there you just deleted the options from the sketch and reloaded it.

Thanks for the advice in advance

Hello again

I am having an issue with message signing. I have begun to expand my mysensors devices to include some actuators and sensors I want to secure. I have tried to get this to work, but keep hitting a wall.

Here;s my set up for my testing. My mega Ethernet gateway with software backed signing enabled, and my Uno set up as a mock relay actuator with software backed signing enabled. If I set up MY_SIGNING_SIMPLE_PASSWD "blahblahblah", everything works great. As soon as thats disabled...nothing wants to talk to each other.

How I have programmed the devices. On the gateway I ran the personalizer sketch and generated the HMAC and AES keys. I copied that info into the proper sections, disabled generate keys and enabled personalize soft. I then ran the personalizer on both the gateway and the node and received a "Succes" message.

This is my gateway sketch.

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_DEFAULT_xxx_LED_PIN in the sketch below
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

All are grounded with 330 Ohm resistors.

And here is my Sketch. One thing I had done when I was just getting lots of shutdowns and errors was to wipe the board - I uploaded blink and left it alone for a minute and then reloaded the gateway with the updated libraries and (knocking on wood) it seems to be stable.

@scalz It was the big chip on the board heating up. I had thought that too so I swapped the mega out last night(had to wait until Amazon delivered it). It got warm (100ish Degrees) but not as hot as the other one did. But I tried to power the gateway as I had originally and the problems started right up again. So Im going with the issue was power related. Im going to keep the fan because a little extra cooling isn't going to hurt anything.

Dbagioni

All
A little while ago I had upgraded to MySensors 2.3.0 with horrible results....my 18 node network went kablooey. I couldn't get anything stable to save my own life. I was getting 30-90 minutes of runtime on the gateway before it was shutting down and going off line. I of course did this at the exact same time I was rebuilding my gateway, transitioning to the Mega 2560 from thr UNO 328 due to memory and lag issues. To top it all off I am running an NRF24 LNA/PNA radio at MAX because of distance and placement issues.

Initial gateway

What I have found was needed to stabilize the gateway.....POWER POWER POWER! It became the Achilles heel of my project. I was initially feeding into the radio then sending power to the Mega via its VCC input (this was ok for the UNO). Voltage going over was good, current wasn't and the gateway would shutdown no matter what the radio power settings were of which radio chip I used. So I switched to a 12v 2.5A power supply and wyed it one connection to the radio board (which has its own voltage regulator) and the other to the Mega's DC jack. Second issue I noted was heat - the Mega runs hotter than the UNO did. I had 130 degrees Fahrenheit on the processor chip. I solved that with a heat sink I had from a raspberry pi and adding a small fan fed from the Mega's 5v pin placed at the back of the Mega. Since that, chip is a cool 80 degrees. I suspect since Im using the Ethernet shield that played a big role in the Mega heating up and the fan really helped.

Gateway Attempt 3

The Fan is seen to the immediate left of the LAN jack.
The toggle switch serves 2 functions...when pushed to the right it resets the gateway, to the left enables inclusion mode. The three LEDs are TX/RX/ERR.

Hope this helps folks. I will add my wiring and code when I get a chance.

Heres the gateway mounted in my Ubuntu box, which runs my home media server and OpenHab.

Happy Building and THANK YOU to everyone who has posted ideas and code snipets that made this possible.

Dbagioni

I hadn't seen that, as it appears it was posted after I had written my post.
I had changed the CE/CSN pins based on the tutorial written on the Site and numerous other posters had states they had to make those changes to get the Mega and W5100 Shiled to work.

I will give this a try and see what happens.

Thanks you for the point in this directions.....Y'All rock

Dbagioni

Wow thats quite the project.....Im a pretty new guy here also. I tried something similar with my nano(and then uno) gateway and adding some sensors to it....I eventually abandoned it because it was just causing a log jam of data through the gateway and controller(I use OpenHAB), also if the sensor malfunctioned it took down the gateway on several occassions

My reccommendation is to set up a controller and gateway as standalone devices and then tie sensors and actuators in from there. Ive also found that it makes troubleshooting issues because the system is more modular.

Just my advice,, Wish you lots of luck and hope its as good and experience for you as its been for me.

Hello all

I am in the process of moving my gateway over to an Arduino Mega 2560 R3.....presently it is running on an UNO R3 but that is my template device and I kinda want it back for that. Im using a W5100 Ethernet Shield, found here

My base gateway code comes from this post.

And my wiring is; (power is just off the Mega for testing only)
NRF - MEGA
Vcc - 3.3V
Gnd - Gnd
CE - 49 with change made in code
CSN - 53 with change made in code
SCK - 52
MOSI - 51
MISO - 50

Any ideas? If I load any other gateway sketch it fires up without a problem.

Thanks a bunch.

Im at a total loss.

Any attempt to place it in the #include decleration results in this error.

Hello all.

Im a little confused here, what can I say Im a hardware, oscilloscope, soldering iron kinda guy so code is still a bit confusing to me. Im trying to set up the security personalizer ino and keep hitting a small wall.

The code calls for the following; #include "sha204_library.h" #include "sha204_lib_return_codes.h"

Except in all my searching Im only finding 'sha204_library.h', all of the branches and files I can get say "sha204_lib_return_codes.h is included".
Does this mean I only need to include the main sha204_library and not include the 'return_codes' portion separately? If I use the main library the code compiles without issues, if I'm trying to include the 'return_codes' portion it gets flagged.
Id appreciate any thoughts.

Hello Everyone

Im trying to get a dual sleep code going. My project is a monitor for my detached shed. It will be powered by either a 12 or 9 volt battery and the radio will have to be the higher powered NRF24 LNA/PNA (Its a good 200 yards from the house).
I've managed to get the node base code working fine....reports the doors open/closed, sends back temp/humidity/battery percent.......but only when the door are opened or closed, which as you can imagine I don't sped a ton of time in the shed so its not that often.

What I want to do is have the sensor wake under 2 conditions.....1 every hour or two to send temp/humidity and battery data back, and 2 when the doors are opened or closed (the kids have a habit of leaving the door open after getting their bikes).

I could use a little help.

    oldBatteryPcnt = batteryPcnt;
  }
    // Sleep until something happens with the sensor
  sleep(SENSOR1_PIN-2, CHANGE, SENSOR2_PIN-2, CHANGE, 0); 
}

Ive tried adding the SLEEP_TIME into the sleep line, but when I put in in the door monitor becomes unresponsive.

Ok I have made some progress. I have a gateway showing up as online and it is discovering nodes...but after a while it all goes 'offline' and Im stuck rebooting the entire box.

The UNO is registering with Ubuntu, it shows up as /dev/ttyACM0 (Arduino/Genuino Uno).

The initial error message (I lost the copy of it) basically said it was "unable to open the serial port /dev/ttyACM0"

What I did to get the gateway to come online.

I added the following item in Openhab2.
String UnoGateway { serial="/dev/ttyACM0@115200" }

Then I added the following to the /etc/defaults/openhab2 file.

#########################
## JAVA OPTIONS
## Additional options for the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.
## These will be appended to the execution of the openHAB Java runtime in front of a$
##
## A couple of independent examples:
##   EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyAMA0"
##   EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyS0:/dev/ttyS2:/$
##   EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Djna.library.path=/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ -Duser.timezone=E$

EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyACM0"

I also added that line to the karaf runtime file.

But I have no idea now why it keeps going offline.

Greetings All.
I have hit a wall here. I am setting up openhab2 on my Ubuntu box. Im running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, with Openhab 2 stable release installed.

I can get every other thing configured and running smoothly EXCEPT for this serial gateway.

My gateway is an Arduino Uno, flashed with the lastest stable MySensors library and serial gateway sketch. When its connected to the box via USB it comes up as /dev/ttyAMC0, and Im able to see it running via serial monitors. But when I go into openhab to add it the gateway still shows up as offline. I've already added openhab to 'dialout' and 'tty' groups and made the java exceptions changes and enabled the serial transport via karaf console as noted in the installation instructions.

The only thing the logs are producing is a generic "unable to connect to serial port tty/ACM0 message.

Im at a total loss here as Im a hardware guy, not really a software guy.
