Hey.

If i need change nrf tx power in arduino sketch. This is right ?
#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW

It is possible ?

@Richard-van-der-Plas what is this: HASS ?

I do not was time for this but want to try.

This is really stupid. RFM69 radio need powered separately ?

This is working with latest mysensors library ?

@gohan said in Moisture sensing + relay. Please help with software.:

I think you forgot to close a parenthesis in the receive function. If you like a more helping programming interface, you can install visual studio and the extension Visual Micro that are much better than Arduino IDE and help you also visually with parenthesis and auto completion of functions and variables names.

I use linux. Ubuntu. For linux what software ?

I try but without luck.

My skill in programming is low. I make something for last 2.x library but some errors. Moisture sensors A0-A5 and if possible add relays from relay sketch.

I want to add same harware these two components.

@gohan
Please help with small errors. https://pastebin.com/VRXyT8Ut I try for library 2.x

@gohan said in Office plant monitoring:

but I'd suggest to stick to the new version

I try but idonotknow.

Can i use old libraries and gateway version 2.1 ?

@gohan I make something this. Please look if all is right. My software writer skill is low. Some small errors.

Please somebody help me add to skech one relay for water pump. I use this in Domoticz. I do not want build other hardware for this.It is possible ?

Hei.

How to connect arduino to electricity meter pulse out. Not to led.

@joshmosh said in Office plant monitoring:

mfalkvidd

Where i find mfalkvidd's sketch ?

What sketch you use ? I cant get yesterday this working. GW is last 2.1, serial monitor printing fine and all is ok but i do not see this sensor in Domoticz

This pa level is in line 437 #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_MAX ? For serial gateway.

Can i use signal power MAX in mysensors 2.0 library with this wifi module for nrf ? Or nrf need extra power supply ?

I do not understand. My boiler is 3KW. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AtuQgBKT8NIPhi4F_I3mPVYW0S9P

Small question. I want to try this but some errors. Library is installed with library manager. Ubuntu 16.04 and last Arduino ide.
First try IDE not find library and i change in line 29 #include <MySensor.h> to #include <MySensors.h> add only s
and then this error.

motion_dht22_led_dimmer:44: error: 'MySensor' does not name a type

Thank you. I try.

Please look right connection diagram. Not nrf24l01+. and you see how to connect. If you do not see you van watch with glasses.

@AWI said:

@Fat-Fly I would suggest the Actuator to drive solar panels. But it seems like you already found it a while ago...

reply

Yes. I find. I want to test this mpu9250 but some errors.

I want to drive solar panels. It is possible ?

I make esp8266+nrf24l01+ gateway with library 1.5. If sensor node send data j look from serial monitor, data + version mismatch. This gateway connected right ?

Yes. Network is same.

I try with these nodes what was connected over serial gateway. I add esp gateway with same channel and and nothing. I try tomorrow again.

It is possible to add and work wit these. Serial gateway and esp8266 gateway with nrf24l01+. Channels is not need to be same ?

If you sensors working ok than you need to go domoticz hardware-> devices. Marked with green arrow is new node. You need to press to green arrow and....... you see what you want.
Sorry my english. Maybe you understand.

Small question. How to connect this gw to Domoticz ? Over lan and in Domoticz ?

I need measure resistance. If i use 3,3v and 1M photo resistor what size is resistor for measure day light. I want to turn solar panels.

With 100k resistor like this ?

Hi.
Can i use photoresistor instead of lm393 ?

I want drive this tracker with Domoticz. Weather and more options is add
simply. Or 4 ldr-s is separately one by one Arduinos.

Time lapse

How to drive this ?

Can somebody help me add to sketch 4 ldr-s, photoresistors. I want to build solar tracker with domoticz.

Good morning people.
Can somebody help add to this moisture sensing sketch relay ?

Solar tracker first test. – 00:21

Beer from you.

2.0 is compatible connect nrf directly to raspberry? I do not know and not read this. Maybe i sleep this moment when somebody writing from this.

Okay. With mysensors 2.0 not working nrf directly. Use 1.5 library.

Connect arduino with nrf to comp. Not raspberry. And check serial monitor.

Connect gateway to comp usb and check what happening with arduino ide serial monitor.

Try with 10µF capacitor. 470 is too big .

I connect nrf socket + pin to Nano 5V pin. Working perfect.

How to add energy pulse meter sketch temperature sensor ds18b20 for nrf24l01 node.?This for serial gateway. And this is possible to add relay too ? I want make one node for energy meter, ds18b20 and relay.

Okay. I solder wire from nrf socket power directly to arduino nano mini usb connector power wire.

I need solder power wire to Nano mini usb connector directly? I use for power meter Arduino Nano.

I try. I bought these from China friends 20 pcs.

This ? Power from adapter, not from arduino.

How to connect this module to use max power ? In config i know but voltage from external adapter ?

Okay. But why for this mpu9250? These ldr's not working correctly if cloudy. Turn with sun coordinates is possible but i do not find cheap system. Raspberry PI and with arduino + mpu9250 or 6250 + linear actuators.

How to this sensor knows where is the sun?

MPU 6250 works too. But how to drive linear actuators and how to set and from where get coordinates? Oh. Too many questions.

Can to drive with mpu9250 solar panels ? Solar tracker by sun position coordinates ?

Thanks from answers.

It is possible to send data from modbus electricity meter to Domoticz over nrf24l01 or by other way ?

Yes. I read too. NRF working directly with mysenosrs 1.5x. 2.0 not supported today.

Maybe in scketch needed change measure time? Maybe need use function round ?

I want to try electrodes from stainless steel.

My sensors is not good yes. I do not understand what is soil moisture % really. My pepper was overwatering. Very wet and moisture was 80% only.

From temp varies moisture level and from fertilizer too. At the bottom of the bucket was more. Yesterday i install moisture sensor to the greenhouse. Level was 60-70%. This is normal if i check with finger. :). Today i try drive relays and water pump.

Yesterday my sensor reported moisture 80% but soil was very wet. Thoughts.

Why not mastered it self ?

Great. Nothing to say. But i need build this. 10 pcs first time. I live in farm or how to right say in english. With rubber boots from the land ?

Yes. I use gpio for ds18b20 and relays.

I build moisture sensors from stainless wire. If this in pot at a depth of 1 inch domoticz reported 83% of moistre level.Real plant was dry and needed watering. I put moisture level on the soil

and sensor reported moisture level 43%. I test and put moisture sensor to the soil at depth 1 inch

Sensor reported moisture level 96%.

@Fay Candiliari good morning.
I copied this scketch to my comp and delete all mysensors libraries and install development. After this all in ok.

No. This error if i here try. I install locally development library and all is ok on Arduino Ide. I cant try here at the moment.

Arduino ide 1.6.9. Mysensors library 1.5. I have raspberry pi serial gateway. Arduino Pro mini 5v 328

One question. This sketch measure moisture every 60000 ms, 10 min.It is possible to measure every 30 min ? Battery power lost is minimal.
If this fork in water domoticz reported 88% of moisture. How to change value?

Today morning i can say : working. I bought arduinos 3,3v 10 pcs from Aliexpress. Yesterday i change this to 5V pro mini and this sensor get work. I take picture from this Arduino. Maybe 5volts not 3,3. Voltage stabilizer on the arduino is S201 ?

I'll change this china moisture fork with something stainless steel

Okay. I search

I upload sketch from here and pro mini not connect to gateway. GW from this pro mini away maybe 50 cm.

I so not disable soft spi if i install gw. After i try.

I in home and try this at the moment.

@mfalkvidd : Maybe change sleeping time to 60 min and STABILIZATION_TIME 1000 to 500 ms or smaller ? This place is pure lost energy. Why not to try without stablization time ?

I correct this and try again after work. Yesterday i do not find time.

@mfalkvidd said:

@Fat-Fly replace

const int SENSOR_ANALOG_PINS[] = { 0 };

with

const int SENSOR_ANALOG_PINS[] = { A0 };

Connect like this, except use D8 instead of A1 (the connection displayed is for a newer version of the sketch, which supports alternating polarity)

Then this error is okay but arduino ide not find DigitalIO.h.
/home/insippo/sketchbook/libraries/MySensors/utility/RF24.h:20:23: fatal error: DigitalIO.h: No such file or directory
#include <DigitalIO.h>

I do not understand why arduino ide not find this.

I copy mysensors library to comp and trying set nrf_gw power to max and these errors. Then verify sketch and arduino ide says this error in myconfig.h line 21 and 22

Line 21 and 22

#ifndef MyConfig_h
#define MyConfig_h

Why ?

Yesterday this not working. KW reader is too away from gateway.My house is lenght is 22m. Electricity meter is one end of house and gateway is center house. can i use repeater on something other. I use for this nrf with antenna.
