Henrik,
Thanks for answer, now it works.
I think the problem is maby the wrong link for the Vera controller files.
When i go to mysensors site, then controller /vera / Git repo, i get the development branch.
The link you gave me now is for UI7 and shows the right icon after uploading the last 10 files to my Vera lite.
Hello Hek,
I dont know what you mean but here a little screenshot from the (serial) gateway plugin.
As you see the icon is gone (normal Z-wave icon) , how to get the mysensors icon back?
I updated my sensors to version1.5, all ok.
I also updated the plugin files for mysensors in my vera lite.
Everything works fine but a little problem , the icon from mysensors (Hek's avatar) is gone.
How to get this icon back in vera?
After testing some more i get better result with this setting:
attachInterrupt(INTERRUPT, onPulse, LOW);
Also this does not work (pinmode3)
Hi Bulldog,
I allready played with that value and increased it to 2 or 3 seconds but that does not change my problem.
I think the problem is that this code sees a pulse and when the pulse is going from zero to high it is 1 count but also when this pulse is going again to zero the count is 2.
I have build an sensor with the watermeterpulsesensor sketch with an arduino nano and the TCRT5000 module sensor.
It works but everytime the value rises with 2 for one rotation of my watermeter. Default /1000 ( 1liter per rotation)
So again when i get with a mirror and make the sensor go high (green led goes on) the value rises with 1 but when i remove the reflector (green led goes off) also the value rises wth one again.
So it looks like the code triggers to the up and down going flank together of one pulse.
Do i have to change something in the code?
Korttoma,
Thanks for your information.
That was the solution!
I had not read the extra info in the controller section that some sensors need additional files to upload to the Vera.
When i try the default sketch from the watermeterpulsesensor on an arduino nano, the complete "mysensors"network "hangs"and does not function anymore.
If i delete the 2 new detected devices in my vera and restart the gateway then the other devices work again.
If i program for example the energymeterpulsesensor in the same nano then these arduino works fine and the right devices are shown in the vera and show there values.
What i also see is that when the devices from the watermeter sketch shows up in the vera, they dont show any information about sketch name, sketch version and parent id. These fields are empty.
Or am i doing something wrong?
Im trying your code and its almost what im looking for.
I have two questions about it:
1 : Is it possible that the battery info has is own child id?
2 : Why dont you implement a light sensor like an LDR?
I think that including LDR/light then you have the ideal multisensor ; light + temp/hum + motion + batt monitoring !
But for now im playing with your code and try to implement light.
Somebody has good result in a working multisensor and wants to share his code?
Hek,
I have a gateway node this is 0 (nano) which talks to a motion sensor with static id 2. This works good but placed further away it misses sometimes data. So i though i make a relaying node, default sketch and set static id to 3. But i think i have to do more because the sensor (2) does not talk to the relaying node (3) but direct to the gateway if possible.
If i dont use a controller and want to test/use a relaying node is it enough then to use the default sketch and only give it a static id like : gw.begin(5);
I ask this because it does not work for me. For example a motion sensor always talks direct to the controller (Or not if to far away)
So is it possible without controller to work and how?
@hek said:
A common multi-sensors-combination is:
Motion + Light (LDR or Photo resistor) + DHT (Temp+Humidity)
I would prefer if the example sleeps Arduino+radio while doing nothing.
+1 for me !
Im already trying, but have to learn a lot :)
Why not a default "multisensor" on the mysensors site at the example page? I see a lot of people like me who are new to arduino and looking for a multisensor sketch. For me the ultimate sensor is like the "roomnode" like a jeenode : Motion + light (LDR) + temp (ds18b20), where motion message is direct and the others once a minute or so.
For others:
As written in another topic : http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/111/can-t-control-actuator#747 i also enabled "newline" in the serial monitor to sent commands, and now it works.
Thanks Hek for help.
So again if i type the command 12;3;1;2;1 in the serial monitor of the gateway, this command also has to show up in the sensor serial monitor ???
I ask this because nothing happens here, but i see a led flashes so it look like something is been sent.
I dont get further with this.
Am i right that i can sent a message from the gateway to a sensor or vice versa without using a controller?
So if i use an gateway and a sensor with for example the motion sensor sketch with fixed id i can sent a message in the serial monitor of the motion sensor node to the gateway??
If i do that nothing happens in the gateway serial monitor and vice versa.
What am i doing wrong?
