@dbemowsk Any progress I want to do this as well?

@maghac Oh yes by the way the code above works great just added some code for Motion sensor and Now I have a much better light.

@maghac Wow! I guess I haven't been around here for a while.

Thanks

@maghac What board is that?

Never mind part of the code was commented out. I wasn't sure because I just started to use OTA. But it's all good now its working fine. Here it is:

};

byte rowPins[ROWS] = {6, 7, 4, 5}; //connect to the row pinouts of the keypad
byte colPins[COLS] = {8}; //connect to the column pinouts of the keypad

Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );
byte lastState;


void setup() {
  
  sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);
  present(KEYPAD_CHILD_ID, S_SCENE_CONTROLLER);
  keypad.addEventListener(keypadEvent);
}

void loop() {
  char key = keypad.getKey();
}

void keypadEvent(KeypadEvent key) {
  switch (keypad.getState()) {

    case PRESSED:
      lastState = 1;
      break;

    case HOLD:
      lastState = 2;
      break;

    case RELEASED:
      int keyInt = key - '0'; //Quick way to convert Char to Int so it can be sent to controller
      if (lastState == 2) {
        keyInt = keyInt + 4; //If button is held, add 4.  If using more than 4 buttons this number will need to be changed
        send(scene2.set(keyInt));
      } else {
      send(scene.set(keyInt));
      }
      break;
 }
}

@rechin304

Not getting the Hold on buttons working, everything else works. Any ideas why the long press doesn't work?

@hek
Yes I read but was soooo lazy! I just wanted it already done

I just update one of my old sensors it was a simple single relay. My others are way more complicated! I will give this a try.

@petewill Have you updated this code to 2.0 yet? What is different?

The line above
./examples_linux/mysGatewaymsyGateway -h
needs to be corrected to
./examples_linux/mysGateway -h
Thanks for all the hard work! Awesome!

@Lars65
Good times!
Yes I meant "saw" thanks for the good laugh. Did you finish yet?

@Lars65

Put your pants back on! No working Naked!!
I laughed when I say the jeans in the picture. Have fun building!

OTA updates

If I could only make time to get this working also!

Great project!

@qqlapraline

Running a newly upgraded 2.0 Gateway with old Nodes so far so good. I will be updating as I get to them.

@tante-ju
Jumped onto my ESXi server with a windows VM windows setup and the problem you are describing for the mac went away. I have El Cap on my mac with the same type of problems. Don't have an answers but windows worked fine. Wasted a couple of hours trying to fix also.

@Yveaux said:

float temperature = round(gw.getConfig().isMetric ? sensors.getTempCByIndex(i) : sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)));

I will try this Thanks for the help.

Trying to get the DS18B20 to round to a whole number no decimal point. I'm using this and getting the temps down to .1 decimal point.

// Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
		float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((gw.getConfig().isMetric ? sensors.getTempCByIndex(i) : sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;

What do I do next to get a whole number only, I don't like all the minor changes flooding my controller.

complete node code is below.

https://codebender.cc/sketch:238531

@lcarlier try moving your resistor to the same pins but closer to the DS18B20, right now it's not limiting the power to it. The row between the DS18B20 and the wires.

@tekka , Time to try Thanks!

@tekka Cool thanks, can I use Arduino as ISP to program bootloader?

Does the gateway need the OTA firmware (flashed) written to it as well as the Nodes?

Here is my sketch, so far it works but the temps read in decimals and fluctuate so much. How do I make the reads into integers and wait with out holding up motion status and switches? Thanks for the help!

https://codebender.cc/sketch:238531

Also can the 3 previosMillis and 3 MotionDelay be consolidated into 1 of each for all the motions or do each motion need it's own?

A good friend of mine and talented engineer/architect recently purchased a SmartThings hub. Last weekend I ginned up an ESP8266/Node MCU gateway paired with a SenseBender Micro and gave it to him for SmartThings integration experimentation/plug-in development - I'm hopeful that something good will come of it

What else does he need! I just bought a SmartThings Hub

Nice this keeps it simple and usable.

@petewill
You are getting quite good at this Youtube thing, Very enjoyable and inspirational. Thanks again.

@krizzziz
I have seen in some commercial wall switches thermal cutoff/fuses they are usually to the top of the offending (heat producing components) not necessarily directly touching. I have definitely added them to mine for peace of mind. Like this one:

http://i.imgur.com/rqOawGmm.jpg

Just make sure you heat sink when soldering them into place and check them after installation.

Relay Pins not updating when switched locally any one know why this is in Vera UI5. I lose the On and Off status. The NODE is sending this :

35;2;1;0;2;1761607681
35;2;1;0;2;1761607680

So there is a problem with my code somewhere. I have another node that does this. Why?

The code is in the first post above.

Also where is there an example of a scene controller with regular buttons? Not using a library with a keypad.

@Dirk_H said:

message.sensor == 1

This was what I needed! Thanks

Now I have 3 Motion 2 switches, Now try to smash a DHT on here and fix the Vera reporting of changes made locally.
I updated the code above.

Can the motion sensor be used on other pins beside Pin 3 for the interrupt to work? I want to add 3 Motion sensors to 1 node.

Is there another way to write the code to use 3 Motion sensors?

Thanks

I need some help with this code, I can not find how to use 2 relays. I think I did it wrong here they are controlled in sync not separate. Also my motion is not working at all, is it the pin location for the interrupt? After this works I want 1 more Motion attached.

https://codebender.cc/sketch:178705

I Love this codebender.cc it is awesome!

Is it possible to run multiple motion detectors like I have here? It compiles but will it work? I will build and test but I want to know if it looks legit. I'm trying to run a Dallas temp sensor also where do I put the reading and sleep code in the loop? or separate?

I'll end up putting in one of these I figure, just haven't quite figured out what size smoothing capacitor I will need.

Add a cap .1uf input side of the 5V regulator and a 47-220uf on the regulated 5V . High freq and a low freq ripple.

That should do the trick same thing I was planning on doing. I bought the Ring Doorbell but still want to be notified of the actual ring into HA.

I'm trying to make a Relay with a Switch and Motion. Here is my sketch it works from the controler fine (Vera). The problem if I make changes at the switch the controller does not update. Also I can not get the motion to work. I put the motion inside of a void section. I also tried the motion code inside of the loop also. Any help?

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong just not sure what and were. Thanks for the help.

@Fred-LaR WOW!
You just perked up my intrest got to try this one!

@TD22057 This was the route I was heading with adding the doorbell to my HA, but @petewill is awesome in doing this with the video. Me and my daughter where just trying to decide what would be the best way to hack the bell. We added a Ring.com Doorbell (trial period) and trying to decide if we like it or not. The notifications are 2 way so that is nice with video and audio. But they do not have an API. I think I will try to sniff out the Motion detection or use it from my notifications to tie into my HA.

@bjornhallberg said:

Maybe we could find some sort of small fuse holder instead?

I know its probably not the best thing to do but I have just soldered on leads, bare wire. I just tin the metal first and scuff it a little. I have done the same thing to batteries with no ill effect.The key is get in and off quickly!

@bjornhallberg said:

was out of stock on Ebay. As was the 0.2A version. Someone is stocking up

oops! You wanted some?

just kidding, let me check I have a line on parts I will see if they have some.

@scalz
I'm following this post closely I like the idea, I have some motors controlled via RF but I don't like the controllers or the reliability. I will see how to retrofit them with your controller after you have tested and did all the hard work! I believe I can just Hijack the motor wires and use the relays and the boards for all the logic. I like what you have setup but I will have to see your sketch first.

I have some old Hunter Douglass motorized shutters that use IR remote I hacked them with an reed relay on a node that acts as a push button. Just like pushing the button on the motor. Unfortunately the new shutters I got don't have a manual push button or I would do the same.

@Yveaux
I believe those are for the serial connection that usually are pointing up, or back for programing? It looks like they are just rendered as down in the 3D image? But I am curious how the clearance for the components on the other side (HLK) is when they are soldered, does it need some space off the board?

Another stellar video @petewill ! Thanks! Now time to 3D print a box and add batteries for your night stand.

@Dwalt
Yes I plan on monitoring pressure rises. I assumed the accuracy would not be perfect, I'm not concerned with perfection just changes. After I set a baseline then the automation begins. Currently I use a spreadsheet to keep track of when the filter is cleaned (reading the mechanical gauge PSI) and that is missed sometimes manual entering data is not my forte. Then after checking the gauge to see increase in pressure I know it's time to clean the filter. If I wrote the data into the spreadsheet then I know how long till it needs it again, well sort of. The automation part will be sending alerts when necessary action is required not some spreadsheet Voodoo even though adding the data automatically to the spreadsheet will be nice. I already have the rest of the pool automated Lights, Pumps(5), Pump speeds, Valves for Solar, Waterfalls, spill overs, water fill lines, and the list continues. I even have some temp sensors and hysteresis for gas heater and solar heating. All this currently runs on an Arduino with a serial connection via XBee into my Mac with XTension Home Automation Software from http://machomeautomation.com. I have been rallying James over there to add XTension as controller for MySensors and I think he is almost ready to do it!
psiRead = map(psiRead, 102, 921, 0, 100);
I think I get how this works so I will be trying to implement this. what would be the advantage to the code above and this way?
On sending this just as a number I think you are smart about that, for now it goes to Vera but hopefully soon XTension.

@ceech Thanks yet again!

@ceech can't look at the files right now is this a dimmer switch that is transformerless?

Ok Time to build a sensor to measure my pool filter pressure. This is what I will be using.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RCPDPRQ

Connect Pressure Transducer to filter with a little plumbing.

Now time to make the board and set the code. I need a little help with the code I have some sample code I found online here.

void loop() {

float sensorVoltage = analogRead(0);   // read the sensor voltage
int psi = ((sensorVoltage-95)/204)*50; //change to *25 for 100PSI Transducer I think
Serial.println (psi);

delay (1000);
} 

I think the Transducer I have is 25 psi per 1V.

But how to send Serial.println (psi);
into MySensors I need the help that, type of unit? Same as the barometer?

Thanks in advance for any help!

@hek Yes I tried those but it's probably the driver install it was acting a little finicky so it was quicker to flip over to the VM.

Built Mine works great the only problem I had was uploading the code from a Mac OSX Mavericks so I opened a Win7 VM I keep for these type of problems and all is good. Thanks! @Yveaux

My Gateway has shrunk...

Can this be built with esp8266-03? I got a couple of those sitting here waiting to get used? It looks like I can swap Pin 4 for Pin 16 (or 18 in this picture) Is there something I'm missing?

@timropp Also remember if your gateway is using a long range antenna make sure it has enough power I have had that problem also. You may get some inclusion but not others.

@Yveaux said:

@DrJeff said:

@Yveaux No you did not scare me away

A, damn ! Maybe next project then?

The problem lies mainly in the vast amount of ESP variants and how to wire them to be able to download and to connect the radio.

Sorry it was supposed to be "No you didn't scare", me auto correct!
I'm going to build this for sure!

@Yveaux No you did not scare me away but I'm in loss of time to do this. I look forward to setting my esp gateway up in a week or so.

On the serial monitor output I see motion being changed. But I can not see the change being made on the vera.

As seen after Ready to receive messages... that is the motion sensor working but in Vera it shows no difference here is the code used it is a mix of @hek RGB code mixed with a motion sensor. The idea of the motion sensor is just to report if there is motion. It is a presence sensor for the room if I want it to turn on the the LED it will be scripted separate from the arduino code.

Any Ideas of where I'm going wrong?

Ok Solved my gateway is an Ethernet gateway and for debugging I was using USB to power the radio was too underpowered to function properly. Now Inclusion is working!

@korttoma Thanks,
was trying to get a RGB light working but thought maybe it was the plugin I guess not, I will keep searching.

How is the plugin updated I installed the old files on top of the existing. Do I need to delete the files first? I still see the plugin as version 1.4 and the Lib Version as 1.5.
Or am I doing this all wrong?

@Yveaux said:

diff of the files should help a lot: https://www.diffchecker.com/eeo5ahzn).

Thanks for the heads up on this service Diff checker I didn't know of this site I will be using it! Thanks

@ceech Yes I like the idea of course the board would be housed inside of a box, my idea is to incorporate the box with a daughter board with 2 push buttons on and off like Zwave switches use. Yes please send me, if you are worried I will use safely I was taught to work on all power 120v - 480v as if it is live so that you remain alive!

So basically it is like any other consumer Zwave switch or X10 just box it up (3D printer on stand by) with 2 micro buttons with a rocker face and I want 10. But sorry I digressed from the OP in my excitement.

@ceech said:

Yes, it shouldn't be touched

Nice! just label board !LIVE!

Not safe due to no fuse? Do share, making your own boards with solder mask?

Can you integrate this into my Toto washlet so that it can turbo wash if I have been there to long!

Luv it!

@Oitzu
I seem to get all this working outside of MYSensors but I have very limited cut and paste ability in code. So what I was wondering do you have the sketch for controlling the dimmer and just firing the triac integrated with MYSensors yet?

@Oitzu said:

my badly soldered dimmer.

No way that is just like mine! It's Perfect!

Just Kidding I need to get my dimmers working properly also. You got the zerocross working right? 220v 110v? share sketch? will yours work locally with gateway off?

@BulldogLowell Thanks I will give it a try!

In the sample code for the actuator and relay how hard is it to make the code work even if the gateway is off. That is the button/switch is still controlling the load locally. Optimally I want the code to handle a switch that is just toggling the relay even if the remote controller has changed the status of the light. The Idea is that locally the switch will still just function like a normal switch if the gateway is lost, or down.

@petewill Thanks for another Video and also the variation to the smoke detector setup I have 3 smoke detectors laying around (from the store) and I was trying to figure out how to tap them for there signal. (working on hardwired ones, I already have the wireless unit done Thanks to @ServiceXp). The use of the Interconnect was on my mind but too many projects and tooooo busy at work so thanks! I also love the use of the pulse signal to get the Co2 separate brilliant.

@hek Cool I figured you would come up with a practicle use for that LED ring!

@Andy-Pep said:

yes its going to be a learning curve ..but after finding mysensors my mind has woken up

Got to love Sites like this one that challenge your brain and you have fun with physical items to show what you have been doing!

@rvendrame I'm right with you on all of this have been trying to do this for a couple months with no time right now. Actually it has been longer I was originally building all this for another system using XBees and then found it better to use esp8266 then said better yet use Mysensors so here we are! Transformer less is key at least I think so! Only problem no off the self builds.

I'm seriously thinking it skipping all of these and build a transformerless circuit directly to the board like a true in wall switch, Pete do you want to share this project. I've been playing with this for a little while but haven't had time to put it all together. I can point you to all the places but a board will need to be designed for the switch, that's almost where I'm at!

@blacey The excitement is brewing! Can't wait

@blacey I got my checkbook ready put me down for 2!

@GuyP Yes we always got to deal with real life! On the board I assume the red lines are wires due to the single sided board?

@GuyP Cool thanks, Time to etch some boards, have you used this method/setup for other nodes? Just trying to get some ideas

@GuyP Can you post the pdf images of the boards, I want to etch some I like the use of 328P chip, The only problem the png file is scaled wrong too large.

@hek said:

This is where the project started: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16170.0.html

WOW your vision stayed the same! Cool

Nice! What is your print time? What printer do you have?

Mark me down for 1!

@rvendrame Do share your circuit I would love to compare. I found the inmojo circuit to work well. My only missing piece is I want to power the circuit with s tranformerless power supply.

@rvendrame said:

3 dimmers (using timers). If you implement timers, you can use any pin. (and it also works with AC-Triacs --- Be careful!!!) .

What is the caution for? Just that I'm working with 120V or is there something I'm Missing here? Will it go up in flames based on the timer circuit?

I love the way you did this I was trying to do the A/C dimmer (asked in another thread), The hardware was pretty simple but the code was sooooo hard to figure out I will give this a shot! I will also use this with my LED dimmer you have fixed two of my problems with, wait three you got IR in here also! Yippe!

You Rock! @rvendrame

@tbowmo Time for a Shower, Can you say body sprays!

This is based on the main page of the builds dimmable LED but I want to use 3 Dimmers for RGB LED strip. All on full brightness equalls white! But the code is giving me some trouble this is what I have so far but only 1 Dimmer and Motion show up in my Vera, the 2 other dimmers are not showing or working any help would be nice.

I would also like to add a Rotary encoder to this but I think I'm tapped out on the PWM pins to make it work. Any Ideas? Another thought would be to use a separate board/pro mini and dim it remotely?

@BulldogLowell Sorry For not giving the credit where it is due! Major Props @BulldogLowell !

@Sparkman I like the sensors, I just built some and was dbating the way to make smaller, what kind of battery life do those moisture sensors have?

@petewill Time to change my current 16 valve arduino sprinklers to a little smarter version like yours! I love this community.
You have been coming on with some awesome videos and contributions!

@FotoFieber I got a circuit working, But I don't know how to write the code to dim, and work remotely. I used BT137 Triacs instead of TIC206 because of availability. The main issue I had with a 110V/60Hz was the resistor pulling the zerocross Pin high, It would not work but when I removed the resistor all functional?! The schematic I used it was from Inmojo here it is http://bit.ly/1C1xCOS
It works well the only adjustments needed is how low and how high you dim the circuit. Now the code part is what I need. I will give the above code a spin, It looks like the dimmer mirror code from @petewill.

@ServiceXp You're so smart I didn't even think about the alarms being interconnected, thanks for saving my extra radios, Arduinos, and wasted time much appreciated. The only thing I might do is change the radio to the hardwired alarm.

Ok all is Good! I just used the octocoupler minus the perf board,also as a side note I changed the resistor you showed to a 4.7K to keep the current of the speaker from being drowned out, I also added a power header.

and here is the Modded One!

Thanks again @ServiceXp for all the hard work you did to get us this mod. Now 9 more to go! But I will wait and test this one out for a couple of months or maybe I should just build 5 more for now. Any Ideas on how to make this run on external power until power is lost?

@ServiceXp One last question I think, are you picking up the speaker on the center wire it is @ 4V7 and drops down to -3 or so. where did you find 3V3 speaker connection?
Thanks Almost done!

@ServiceXp Cool I just tested it and was ready build my first unit. I will post after I do it tonight! Have you tried to sniff the Jumpers for signals(like the CO2 or Smoke)? You said you are using the built in battery low detection are you talking about the warning that the batteries need to be replaced locally or remote? Oh Nevermind it will alarm so you will know remote and audible siren and voice local.

The 3V3 off the board proves to be clean enough? I read somewhere that that might be a problem.

Thanks

@ServiceXp Are you grabbing the 4V8 and inputting to 3V3 arduino RAW pin? Or are you grabbing the power off J3 Pin1 and 2 at 3V3? Did you make your Arduino less Power hungry i.e. remove LEDs, Regulator, and such? How is the battery life so far? Sorry lots of questions I want to build this for my whole house like 10 of them! But gotta start from some where. I'm thinking most of them are A/C powered in my house so a 5V power supply with a regulator for the detector would work also. Please Let me know how yours is working so far.
Thanks! Great Job!

@BulldogLowell Thanks your determining way is the best way to check a Pro mini with no USB! You can just use the programming cable connected to RAW and check the VCC it will be slightly less like 4V7 or 3V2 but close enough.

@henno That is too funny I was at a hotel and they had LEDs under the cabinets with motion sensors to light the floor. So when I came home I knew I saw some guy doing something similar to a mirror that I'm gonna steal for under my bed to walk at night without bumping my toes! Thanks Pete!

I want to build a sensor with 3 dimmers controlled via 2 switches each for a total of 6 switches (one up and another down) is this possible also? I also want to have temp and humidity on there via DHT11, almost forgot Motion sensor with HRC-501 too. I setup a sketch with Motion and Dimmer without switches for 1 dimmer and it worked! I truely need some direction on how to do this. How I got to this point was to hodgepodge together two example scripts and it worked. I'm sure there is a example on the forum somewhere but I can not find so any help would be great. I'm still trying to understand the child thing on the sensors, when I add a relay and dimmer I lose the dimming function I think because the relay uses the light name?
I love these sensors they integrate better than I expected. I have been looking at these for about 1-2years or even longer! Thinking I was gonna add them but thought that the way I was doing it before was easy enough and robust enough. I was using XBees and I like the distance possible with these radios, what sparked my interest was I was seriously trying to get ESP8266 to do what I wanted and I ended up back here so the fun begins!

@quocanhcgd Can you share the A/C dimmer design? I'm trying to do the same. Found many examples but building a circuit with a triac and zerocrossing.
Thanks,
Jeff

I was just looking at this board on OSHpark last night and was wondering who did it, kudos I might have to do some surface mount soldering, time to build my pickup tool. Your project and another I uploaded to OSHpark required surface mount and I was holding off til now!
Thanks,
Jeff
