Thx for the link.
For more info about the solution in this video perfectly explained:

He uses a NDP6020 for Mosfet. The datasheet says:
Vgs(th) (Max) @ id: 1V @250uA
Gate Charge (Qg) @ Vgs:35nC @ 5V
Is 1V the max i can connect to the Gate? That can't be true!?
@kimot
Do you have a common P-Channel Mosfet in mind which works for this project? I am struggling finding the right one.
Hmm... it worked for a while with the 10K resistor but now not any more.
I guess i have to change the Mosfet to a P-Channel version.
Thanks. I understand that my MOSFET is not the best choice. But that's the only one i have here right now.
The 10K resistor solved my problem. Works great. Thanks for the tip.
Hi,
Aim:
When a door contact reed switch is triggered it should turn ON the Wemos D1, send some data to IFTTT and turn itself OFF after that.
Function:
So the Wemos D1 is OFF all the time (to save battery) till the reed switch (SW) turns on the Wemos D1. When the Wemos is ON it triggers the MOSFET by setting GPIO5 to HIGH and keeps itself alive (even without the reed switch) until GIOP5 is set to LOW which turns off the Wemos.
Problems:
But i get strange behavior. In general it works. But after the GPIO is set to LOW the hole thing still draws 0,03Amps. And sometimes it draws 0.1Amps and i have no idea why.
Did i use the right parts? Should i add a resistor somewhere?
Here is my code (which only explains the function) and some schematics.
int SWITCH = 5;
void setup() {
pinMode(SWITCH, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SWITCH, HIGH); // Trigger the MOSFET to stay ON
// Do stuff.... for example send data to IFTT with the ESP8266_To_IFTTT
digitalWrite(SWITCH, LOW); // Turn off the Wemos D1
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
yield(); // do nothing
}
Hey,
yes. I think that has to do with this error i am getting since i updated Domoticz:

I don't know which sensor is involved with that Error.
How do i debug that if i don't know my node-ID's? ;)
Thanks for your reply.
I was dealing with it for 3 hours now. Grml. But as usual i figured it out right after this post. The trigger pin was connected to the wrong Arduino pin (4 instead of 6). Of course i didin't check it, because it still worked with connected serial converter. How strange.
So i guess this post can be deleted due to waste of space.
Cheeers

Hallo,
Hardware:
i have an Arduino pro mini 5V connected to a HC-SR04 sensor and using the standard mysensors code unchanged. It runs on a 3,7V battery with a stepUp Buck converter to 5V (LM2596) which i use in many projects. The data is sent via NRF24L01+ which has it's own converter.
It works flawless when the USB to Serial adapter (FT232BL) is connected. Every 5 seconds a reading.
But when i let the sensor "run by itself" i can see that the sensor gets registered in Domoticz, but Domoticz does not receive any data. When i plug in the serial converter. Domoticz gets all the data as it should be.
I also unplugged the power wires from the serial converter to see if it is a power issue. But same result.
I do actually get a reading sometimes. Maybe every 2 minutes or so instead of every 5 seconds. But even that has the wrong values (always 0cm)
Drives me crazy. What is that?
Thx for thinking with me
ED
Sorry guys. Not at home lately. I will report if and what solved my problem when i am back.
@gohan
I also have that info from the domoticz forum and i tried it. Tailing the new log file... still no more details. I give up...
Maaaybe... when i have motivation again i will try to read about @sunberg84 solution. But i am just not a linux expert.
Grml... never like it to live with an unsolved problem. But thx for the effort everyone.
Here is the link to the domoticz forum about the logging problem
That's another question i have since a while now:
How can i change the domoticz log to more debugging details? Hard to find that information. I can't find any values in the standard-log.
Thanks for replies.
Yes it can handle out of range. My weather sensor works just fine with 120% :-)
Where would you start digging for the reason? A log file I can check?
Hi,
i was on the way building a relay node with battery status report. The Node sends the data as you can see from the serial monitor:
Incoming change for sensor:1, New status: 1
TSP:MSG:READ 0-0-5 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
Incoming change for sensor:1, New status: 0
Battery voltage: 4137 mV
Battery percent: 104 %
TSP:MSG:SEND 5-5-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=0,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:104
TSP:SANCHK:OK
But it does not show in Domoticz:

@TimO
I use Nano Neo as Hardware with Armbian Linux and OpenHabian on top. The bundle:list showed me mysensors.
I don't find any Things. Where do i have to put this info: /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0?? In which config file?
Now i get an error with karaf saying "connection refused" when i try:
ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost
Yesterday it worked... the karaf thing make it even more difficult.
EDIT: I just found out that i have to make a demo.things file with the code for the serial gateway.... And for sure that was not the last file which needs manual editing. I go back to Domoticz. Till OpenHab becomes same easy.
Hi,
just a quick question:
OpenHab2 can be used without touching any code right?
I use mysensors serial gateway. Tried to set it up all day yesterday from skratch. Also with OpenHabian. But no success.
So it seems i still have to edit files and folders manually in order to get it running right?
I got Domoticz working after short time. Was expecting OpenHab2 makes it even more easy :/
Yeahaa. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!
Some small changes with temp4 and works like a charm. If you don't accept my offer. Then the transfer goes to mysensors community :)
Here the working code IF someone need it or i loose mine ;)

I understand what you mean. Thanks for your answer.
But i still have trouble to write your solution into code. If it's not too much work for you. Can you help me out?
If that solves the problem. Please send me your paypal email.
Hi,
after two days testing and trying i give up. BUT i am a programming noob. So i am sure the error is in the code easy to spot for others.
Situation:
Arduino Pro Mini has fife DS18B20 sensors attached. Sending data via serial gateway to domoticz which runs on NanoPi (Raspberry compatible). When i use the mysensors temp sketch all works well without problems.
But i can't use the "standard sketch" because the mysensors code is not assigning DeviceAdreses manually which i need for this project.

Problem:
Domoticz adds more and more temp sensors in the Device List. Randomly i would say. Sometimes fife new devices within 10 minutes. Sometimes none for one hour.
What is causing that?
I get this compiling warning from Arduino IDE which i don't know how to solve. Is that the problem?
C:\Users\ed\Documents\Arduino\Wind-Test\Wind-Test-incl-temp\Wind-Test-incl-temp.ino: In function 'void loop()':

What i tried on hardware side:

Any ideas, hints or even solutions?
15USD for solution. Totally worth it :)
Cheers
ED
Thanks for still coping with me. Tried playing with your suggestions but no success as well.
But i found the problem.
SOLUTION:
I just gave the wind-sensor-node a different NODE_ID manually and now it updates the direction value.
Seems there was some problems with old data when i used this arduino as a temp sensor.
