@elcheekytico said in Leonardo/RFM69HW ethernet gateway not working:

@mfalkvidd I wasn't sure on how to do that. I saw that setup for NRF radios, but couldn't figure it how to apply that with RFM radios and what defines to use and such.

@mfalkvidd I just found the API docs for soft SPI. I'll give that a try tonight or in the next couple days.

Ok, Really dumb, I had MY_RFM69_IRQ_PIN connected to the radio's RESET instead of DI00. I was grasping at straws and went to re-do my antenna because they were about 3mm too short when I noticed the mis-wiring. Once I fixed that swapped 3.3v and Ground and troubleshot that for a minute before I realized it. Before trying to fix the antenna I thought maybe since I didn't have a sensor defined the battery level data wasn't enough.The node is now talking to the controller with the MockMySensors sketch.

Thanks for your help guys.

@bgunnarb said in Node unable to find parent:

@ElCheekytico
I cannot find that you set your NODE_ID in the beginning of the sensor sketch.
Since OpenHAB does not hand out node-id as far as I know (I do not use the MySensors binding in OpenHAB since I connect over mqtt) you have to set NODE_ID manually.

Note: The GW does not assign node id either.

In your sensor sketch, start by adding

#define MY_NODE_ID   5

for example and see if you are able to connect.

@bgunnarb I found that OpenHAB does assign node ID's even though the controller feature table somewhere on this site says it does not.

I cleared eeprom and went back to my battery sketch and all is well.

@user2684 Thanks for the confirmation. Now I'm just not sure if I have enough IO pins without wiring directly from pro mini.

@sundberg84 how many IO pins are actually available on easypcb rev10 without wiring directly from pro mini? I'm using D3 for PIR, A4/A5 for oled i2c, and D5 for DHT22. I think A0 is for battery voltage and D2 for RFM69. Maybe D6 and A1?

@user2684 The MCP1702 appears to be a voltage regulator. Are you running a higher input voltage? I am running a pro mini on the easyPCB powered by 2xAA. All the DHT22, PIR, and SSD1306 are all powered at 3.3v. My idea was to use a 2n2222a with base to D6 and E to ground and C negative of sensors. Based on a forum post or issue on your github I saw that we can pass in -1 for the ground pin of the PowerManager constructor and of course 6 would be the power pin. Does this sound like it will work?

@sundberg84 said in Nodemanage + EasyPCB Sleep:

@ElCheekytico sorry - I do not know the software and how this works, but if you power a display and other sensors through VCC it will still consume power. One option (if the do not use to high current) is to power them through a digital pin and set this pin to high or low before sleep to make them shut down completley., Not sure if this is possible with a display since it maybe takes quite much current (???).

I wondered about that as well. My thinking has been going down the path of using a transistor and triggering it from the IO pin.

@user2684 @sundberg84

I am currently using Nodemanager 1.8dev, MySensors 2.3.1. I have built a battery sensor using EasyPCB rev10 with SSD1306, DHT22, and motion sensor. By all accounts it appears to go to sleep according to debug logging, but at least the display does not turn off which leads me to believe the DHT and motion sensor are also consuming power. I have them wired to the 3.3v and GND rows on the EasyPCB. Below is my current sketch.

Do i need to uncomment the below and set to an available IO pin

//PowerManager power(5,6);

and connect the each sensor's VCC to said IO pin?

I have a motion sensor, DHT22, and DisplaySSD1306 connected. I am experiencing the same issue. The values are read from the sensors and sent to the controller. However, the display shows lines for battery, DHT22 temp and humidity, and motion, but they are showing 0 for values.

@sundberg84 said in Node unable to find parent:

@elcheekytico - hmm, I can not seems to parse your node log - but anyways, it seems like no reply is the major error code here so it seems like its an issue with the radio communication.

How is your hardware setup. How do you power the node and gateway?
How did you build the gateway? Is this one starting up correctly?
I see you define alot of things in the gatewat sketch... seems a bit strange, but maybe thats right. Im not defining that much: https://github.com/sundberg84/HomeAutomation/blob/master/Sketches MySensors RFM69 radio/RFM69gw/Rfm69gw/Rfm69gw.ino

#define MY_RFM69_CS_PIN 6

I dont think EasyPCB RFM Edition is wired to D6 - do you use this for the gateway or only the node?

@sundberg84 The node, Pro Mini 3.3v, is powered by battery, but i guess still by USB while debugging. The gateway has been powered by USB while debugging and a known good power supply. The gateway is Leonardo with Ethernet shield. The gateway is the only one with RFM pin defines

@bgunnarb I had a test setup with ESP8266 as gateway and node before and didn't remember specifying a node ID as I though OpenHAB would handle it. I found some documentation that said otherwise. That being said, I adding a node id, but still no luck.

I am trying to setup my first EasyPCB node and I am unable to get them online. Both Gateway and Node logs look OK to me other than the obvious failures. Gateway is configured in OpenHAB.
