@Nca78 thanks, I'll try it

@NeverDie did you opened a dispute regarding your false wemos D1 V2 on aliexpress cause I have the same situation with the same seller.
Did you solve the issue ?
Thanks

I currently run Domoticz on an Orange PI PC. This is my main HA computer. I picked it up for about $18 US shipped. It has been running pretty reliably. No problems to speak of since I got it.

I'm interested in Orange Pi but read many complains which scares a little.
Which image are you using ? Direct from their site ?

@NeverDie said:

So, I decided to order some of those instead.

Which one did you order ? Can you provide the link please

I see that Domiticz supports MYS MQTT can someone explain how, please ?
Couldn't find anything on that on Wiki.I thought that Domoticz only supported its mqtt format !

I uploaded the latest version on oshpark

I'm a fan of scargill work. I saw this article a while ago but I didn't use ESP8266 at the time, so I didn't pay attention.
Now after several tests with ESP, I'm more interested in this PCB, but I can't find a link to oshpark in the article.
Can you provide a link please.

@AWI + @mfalkvidd good job.
Maybe you could add MQTT gateway support

I totally zapped this thread. @alexsh1 where did you order this pcb ?

@marekd thanks

@marekd could you give us a link to your walves.

@mfalkvidd thanks.
I'll try next time i'll get repo files

@mfalkvidd I use development version which is still evolving on github. BEFORE upgrading my local files, I would like to know the differences between my local version and the remote repo.

@mfalkvidd thanks. But is fetch only update local repository and not local files ? I wasn't sure

Can somebody gives a way to make a diff between my local version and the online repository.

When I use git diff (or git status), it only gives differences between local files and local repository (stuck at the version/date when I cloned it).
My purpose is to compare my version vs online development branch.

@scalz I'm another one from France and very interessing in pcba version with rfm69 cause sma is not my cut of tea :).
Anyway thank for your work and ideas,

@Daniel-Oliveira check previous hek's answer

@Dave-Dan from what I read, you must first update the GW and then nodes.
In my case, after changing the GW, I couldn't properly control my nodes with domoticz.
Then i upgraded my sensorsand everything went good and smooth

@Cliff-Karlsson you need to manage incoming message from gateway/controller : (function void receive(const MyMessage &message) { ...}) and to chage pin state according message .
See this example.

And why does not the PIR show up in domoticz?

I thing that domoticz needs at least 1 data message to show device

@nicorodri did you install librairies as mentionned here in section "Installing the sensor libraries"

@vga no it's 86.4mm (= (3 10^8 / (868 10^6)) / 4)
In my case soldered part included

@vga said:

I don´t have any antenna connected to the transceiver. Is this a problem?

yes it is

@vga said:

My Gateway is a Arduino Nano 5V model with 3,3V output, which is be used for the transceiver.

As @scalz mentionned you need to adapt level (5V -> 3.3V) on rfm69 inputs : NSS, MOSI and SCK

@vga said:

In the MyConfig.h i only see this:

#ifdef MY_IS_RFM69HW

you have to uncomment this line if you are using a HW model

nothing that checks the line: #define MY_RADIO_RFM69

MY_RADIO_RFM69 is used in MySensor.h to include dedicated files and make several others usefull defines to configure things.

What model do you use ?

For connections , see this

For 2.0beta, sketches :
you have to (see MySensor.h) comment : //#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
and uncomment : #define MY_RADIO_RFM69

All other defines for RFM69 are located in MyConfig.h

If you have issues, post your code

Regards

@Dominic-Bonneau maybe your arduin don't have bootloader and you have to burn it.

@rhuehn now that you have a "wait", your loop is not blocked. Then after the "wait" elapses the loop start again and you send a new PIR state (which is certainly the same than the previous loop).
So you have to memorize the last state and check if the pir state changed in the loop. You send the msg only f state is different.
I hope my explanation is clear

@tbowmo
That what I thought but I'm not familiar with pcb design software.
I'll make a try someday

@tbully said:

It would be great if there was a version of this that had line level converters built in. (For those of us using non 3.3v Arduinos)

Does somebody make a try on this app ?

@mfalkvidd since your first answer I was wondering what could you do at home with 5 GW !!!
Thanks for clearifying things up

@LastSamurai said:

Yeah I get that. The current color picker isn't really the best. I just didn't like having 4 different sliders for one led strip.

I think there is a new rgb and rgbw color picker in beta version.

thanks both of you

@sundberg84 said:

There is a manufacturer of firealarms which are good and cheap using 433mhz,

Care to give a link ?

@Cliff-Karlsson you can check on the gateway serial output

@sundberg84 congratulations, one more great hardware contribution.
I like it as all the others.
Keep going, your hard work is appreciate

@Fabien thanks, good news.

@Fabien I can't see the antenna on your pictures, where is it ?
Could you tell me the actual height please (RFM69W version) ?
If I correctly read the thread, I understand that the dimension are 47x48, is it right for RFM69 version ?

@Anticimex congrats for your design.
I would like to order version 1.1. Did you manage to check hardware ?

@Francois I have the same issue and my gateway freeze even with node sending temperature.
I read something about 2 capacitors : one chemical 4.7uF and a non polarized around 10nF, I'll try it soon.
I don't have 10uF or higher as @drock1985 mentioned to test. Do you ?

@Francois Did you connect 4.7uF capacitor to RFM69 ?

@cranky congrats for your work.
Do you you have in your luggage a flow to "turn SerialGateway into EthernetGateway" ?

Congrats @hek this is great help for those whom aren't not familiar with hardware design

Do you use 4.7uF capacitor ?

void begin(void (*_msgCallback)(const MyMessage &), uint8_t nodeId, boolean repeaterMode,uint8_t parentNodeId);

you must set the 2nd parameter to the value you want (i.e 10).

@karl261 My issue seems solve using capacitors on my rfm69 radios.

@mfalkvidd congrats

@cranky thanks I noticed the new subforum and already follow it

Sorry, I don't understand why it doen'twork. This is beyond my capabilities.
May be you should erase all directories name serial and node-serial in /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/node_modules and your local node_modules in case of conflits with previous attempts

I think your issue comes from your nodejs version.
I'm now running v4.2.4.
Check node-red-serial , Install section.
Maybe this will solve your issue

Did you check logs at node-red startup for errors, or try to run with -v flag

@mfalkvidd sorry my misunderstanding.
For serial, I think it was : npm install node-red-node-serialport

Thanks for MQTT domoticz, I thought it was an input for domoticz

@mfalkvidd : sudo apt-get install socat
Then to execute, command line : socat PTY,link=/dev/ttyS80,mode=666,group=dialout,raw PTY,link=/dev/ttyUSB20,mode=666,group=dialout,raw &
Then on node-red, I configure serial com (to and from domoticz) using /dev/ttyS80.

On Domoticz, the serial gateway is configure using port /dev/ttyUSB20

That's all folks

How do you "I have been able to configure Domoticz to send all events to Domoticz/out" ?

@mfalkvidd if you are on linux and able to run node-red here what you can do (thanks @tbowmo)

@jlaraujo said:

0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-1-1 s=35,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:

st=fail means that the message was not received. So this is a hardware issue

@bisschopsr I think you can use hw_writeConfigBlock/hw_readConfigBlock with the "right" address

@Luke-Corkill I think you can setDestination on MyMessage object before sending it :
msg.setDestination(id_destination_node);
Then send message
gw.send (msg) ;

@FotoFieber keep going. Each time you post a new release I get it, even if i'm not using it :).
But it really gives ideas on what we can do with node-red.
Anyway thanks for your work and haring

@bp_968 I have the same issue with my node with 2 contacts which gives the status of my garage door (fully opened, or closed).
I'm using a serial gateway and in the console I can see incoming message from my node but no log in domoticz.
I upgraded domoticz but still the same issue.
My node is multisensor ( S_TEMP + S_HUM + 2 * S_LIGHT + 2 * S_LOCK + 2 * S_DOOR), I wonder if that matters .....

@karl261 Do you have any news ?
Which raspberry pi are you using ? PI 2 ?

I experienced the same issue with domoticz on raspberry pi2 + serial gateway with RFM69 radio.
I really don't think that the issue is the controller. It seems that the radio is stuck cause when I debug my node after reset, all outgoing messages are marked with st=fail meaning that radios can't reach each other.
I don't know if it's my chinese arduino nano or raspberry pi 2 usb power or my radio module.
Investigation in progress. Something a reboot is not enough, I have to disconnect usb cable in order to make it work again.

@johnr did you see that : instructables article and associated github

@pjr

To convert a hex string to elementary colors, you have to do, something like that :

1- convert your string to unsigned 32 bit integer

   unsigned long value = strtol( hexstring, NULL, 16);

2- assuming your integer is coded : 0xrrggbbww

   uint8_t redval = (value >> 24) & 0xFF ;
   uint8_t greenval = (value >> 16) & 0xFF ;
   uint8_t blueval = (value >> 8) & 0xFF ;
   uint8_t whiteval = value & 0xFF ;

@Steve-Caster so is everything good or do you have another question/issue ?

@Steve-Caster how many time do you have between the V_DOWN and V_UP. Is it lower than 15s ?

@Cliff-Karlsson yep, that's what I did

@shabba levels shifters needed, unless with pro mini 3.3v

@Cliff-Karlsson glad it works now.
You should now try to use a different power source for node and see if it's stil working. Next start to move your node.
Regarding domoticz outputs, these are not errors but' just logs from raspberry motherboard sensors.

@Cliff-Karlsson First time I used RFM69 I didn't adapt level and the RFM69 initialization couldn't complete : meaning I didn't have the message "Gateway startup complete"
As soon as I used I used resistors to adapt levels, the initialization was fully completed.
So I think that your connections are good.
I think (from memory) that I created MyTransporRFM69 almost the same way as your (I use RFM69HW) :
MyTransportRFM69 transport(RFM69_FREQUENCY, RFM69_NETWORKID, RF69_SPI_CS, RF69_IRQ_PIN, true, RF69_IRQ_NUM);

What about your node sketch ? Do you do the same ?

@Cliff-Karlsson,
question 2 : I think you misplaced the connection to RFM69 :
Here is how to connect arduino and RFM69.
Is it what you did ? (I bet you switched 4.7k ans 10k )

@Cliff-Karlsson, sorry for my late answer.
you made a mistake on the line added in the serialgateway, it should be :
MyTransportRFM69 transport (RFM69_FREQUENCY, RFM69_NETWORKID, RF69_SPI_CS, RF69_IRQ_PIN, true, RF69_IRQ_NUM) ;

glad you found your issue

both, here is the documentation

You only need to create a MyTransportRFM69 instead of MyTransportNRF24. This is the constructor : MyTransportRFM69 (RFM69_FREQUENCY, RFM69_NETWORKID, RF69_SPI_CS, RF69_IRQ_PIN, isRFM69HW, RF69_IRQ_NUM);
if you use a RFM99H, you have to set the 5th parameter (isRFMHW) to true.

1/4 wavelength = (3 10^8 / (868 10^6)) / 4 =>about 8.64 cm

I meant serial monitor.
i think that if st=OK means that your serial gateway RF24 receive the message sent by the node.
Does the controller log says anything : incoming message, ... ?

what does the node output says when your gateway is not receiving ?
Is the status "fail" ?
What controller do you use ?

@Cliff-Karlsson said:
Do I need a external antenna? The two RFM's is only like 1m apart.

I never tested without antenna. I used simple wire the length dependinf of your frequency?
Did you look at your arduino serial outpout ?
If there is nothing, it may that because RFM69 init failed

@Cliff-Karlsson seems correct.
Personnaly I use 3 * 2 resistors (10k and 4.7k) for NS, MOSI and SCK rfm69hw inputs.
Don't forget to change MyTransportRF69 contructor to use high power RFM69

I had to get domoticz beta version to get scene/group available, can't remember what version I had previously.
Anyway group is exactly what I wanted ....

@Meister_Petz, you could simply write :

String OutStr = String(sRead1) + "-" + String(sRead2) + "-" + String(sRead3);
gw.send(msg.set(OutStr.c_str()));

thanks for your explanation @tbowmo.
Your domoticz server and node-red aren't on the same machine ?

@tbowmo congrats that's almost what I had in mind but haven't nodered knowledge and time to dig in.
If I understand clearly, your serail gateway is not directly connected you domoticz but to node-red ?
I didn't know socat, seems powerfull, how did you configure it with serial gateway ?
What do mysensors node do actually ?

I create a group/scene in scene section (popup windows appears) but nothing is displayed. This is strange

I saw the "scene" menu but when I add a scene or group , nothing is displayed and if I try to create another with the same name, an error is displayed about an alreday existing scene. I don't know why ...
Any idea ?

hello,
I'm not familiar with controllers and I just starting to interface mysensors to domoticz (very easily by the way) and there is a missing feature or at least I could'nt find it : is it possible to combine several actuators in one command (widget)
For example, I have several window shutters and I would like to be able to open/close them all using one button on domoticz.
Is there a simple way to achieve it ?

@b0rmann it's a compilation error, you must add the following lines before #include <MySensor.h> :

#include <MyTransportNRF24.h>
#include <MyHwATMega328.h>

@Cliff-Karlsson I think that :

• H version stands for High power.
• C version is pin compatible with RFM12.

RFM69 uses SPI so the connections are :

Arduino RFM69
10 <-------------------> NSS
11 <-------------------> MOSI
12 <-------------------> MISO
13 <-------------------> SCK
DI00 <-------------------> 2
GND <-------------------> GND
3.3V
ANA : antenna

NSS, MOSI and SCK are inputs so you need to adapt level if you use 5V arduino

@den2k I tried also pidome and had the same error on dashboard using firefox or chrome.
But it seemed that microsoft edge hadn't

@rene_2k2 what sketch do you use on your node ?
I'm now able to read incoming messages, I had to change mysensor.sleep(xxx) call in loop function by mysensor.wait(xxx).
I hope it helps.

@rene_2k2 from what I read, the id resquest is manage by the controller not by the serial gateway and I think that MYSController doesn't support this feature. So you have to use a static id (this is what I do).
I experience the same issue with my rfm69 (tested yesteray night for the first time) so I planed to take a closer look this evening but as I see that I'm not alone, may be i'll try to check what nagelc said or take a closer look to the forum.
The suprise is that my gateway receive succesfully message from node but not the other way

Do we have to use such a divider when using NRF2L01 with pro-mini 5V ?

Hello, I have identical issues with 2 pro mini 3.3V clone ordered on ebay (ordered 5 and 2 are not OK)

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

I check with another 3.3V pro mini and have the same errors.

I am running Arduino IDE 1.6.5 on ubuntu.
I also ordered some pro mini 5V which are perfectly programmed by the UNO.

So I attemped to burn the arduino bootloader (3.3V, 8MHz) and I also have an error :

Error while burning bootloader.
avrdude: verifying ...
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x7800
         0x00 != 0x0c
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

avrdude done.  Thank you.

So I am totally stuck and don't know what else to do.
Can somebody enlight me

Good catch NeverDie

ditto

@Adreas Henriksson
I think that if you use String, you should call c_str() method to get char *.
Your have then to change the line with : gw.send(msg.set(readString.c_str()));
Hope this works.

@TimO yes I think it works with manual bindins (several discussions mention it) but I meant using paper ui as you do here

@NeverDie are you sure RFM69 pin pitch matches these adapters ?

Hi @TimO, any chance you add support to MySensors MQTT to your great work in progress ?
