Ad=s far I understand, we're speaking about radio ACK, which just confirm the right reception on the message, what could be sent. Then, that's gateway that can understand message contents. If senders returns NACK, it just means that no radio ACK has been received from the other end within timeout (set to 1500 ms with MySensors' setup, running @ 250 kb/s, with 15 retries). That's exactly what happens when sending message and receiver off. In the current issue, as you're on a repeater, you're in a good position to be in a position of receiving a message, and sending immediately another one (we can also have the same thing if implementing signature), were timing issues may happen.

SOLVED please see first post

@helvetian Thanks. I am using Domoticz as Controller. After you first start-up of node you will get a Light device, change this device to Dimmer, then in Setup-Hardware-MySensorsSetup, select Node then select Child for SleepTime and disable Ack.

@flopp electrokit is in Malmö and should be open today. Order pickup and you will have the parts later today.

@Yveaux Thanks, i will have a look at it

Hello, I have followed your build and are about to to a similar reverse engineering of a weather station but my winddirection look different and Ineed some input on how I can fix it. On my there are 8 IR leds on the perimiter and 4 IR sensitiv transistors in the middle. The outer leds are wired 2 and 2 with all the odds having common GND and all the even have common GND. So i have problem on how to turn the led on 1 by 1. Any inputs?

@bjacobse

SOLVED I added delay(1000); here resend((lastCounterMsg.set(hwRainVolume,2)),10); delay(1000); }

@Yveaux Thanks. I used alcohol to put the silicone back. I have add that information in the post

@Yveaux I don't know because the battery was old when I started to use it. Home made pcb. Report every 30 minutes. No cap on battery. Take a look at this graph. This may be a new battery, don't remember. Has been running since 1/4 2016

@Reza: I tried to reproduce the errors shown by your log. Part of the errors could be reproduced. So if you are leaving range of stable connections, node will try to get an new parent (within range). So broadcasting for new parent is "normal". As long as there is no valid connection node will reject sending messages because "Transport Not Ready". So this is "normal", too. Leaving range resulted in one or two NACK, then connection died quietly. I never got this amount of NACK you got. I could not reproduce !TSF:MSG:LEN:0!=8 or something similar. This means the message has been crippled (possibly). Reviewing logs and testing on my configuration revealed no clue to defective Chips (in regard to NRF24L01). Chips could be fake though, but at least software functions seem to be ok. Fake NRF modules are reported to have very varying (worse) connection distances, sometimes down to a few (possibly only one) meter(s). Maybe -- may be not. There are two major differences between our setups. I am currently not working with ACKs, I will test this tomorrow. Second - I got no actual relays connected (only LEDs). You reported transmission break down simultaneously to pressing switches at higher rate. Are you supplying DC for relays from Arduino or from separate DC-supply? Have you made any arrangement preventing inductive spikes (ferrite rings, self-induction recuperation diode etc) ? If you simply unhook your relays and try again - you get better results? (since your non-inductive sensors work well). If this will turnout true - you may give Solid-State-Relais a try.

@nikgru extensive teardown of the lamp (German, but you know how to translate) : https://m.heise.de/make/artikel/Ikea-Tradfri-Das-steckt-im-Smart-Home-aus-dem-Moebelhaus-3597295.html?wt_ref=http%3A%2F%2Fhackaday.com%2Fblog%2F&wt_t=1486396685063

I think I found it. if (interval<10000L) { // Sometimes we get interrupt on RISING return; } It seems to be that my interrupt is to quick. above code is default if I change to if (interval<35000L) { // Sometimes we get interrupt on RISING return; } it will calculate Watt as I think it should be. I will let it run for a week and see if kWh is OK now.

@mfalkvidd

@korttoma You were right

I think I have very old MySensor library, 1 year at least. Thank you you can close this

I couldn't just lay down in the sofa so I started to test and now I got a code that seems to work. I have tested it for a few days and it seems to count correct. I made some changes so it will send data every minute and it will send Watt-value even if it is the same value since last time. I am using VAR2 for second energy meter since I don't know how to config Incomingmessage and seperate VAR1 from different Child_IDs. I change corrupted interrupts from 10000L to 40000L otherwise it reported interrupts twice. /** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters.

I maybe found the solution. Download the version you had from here https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/releases then copy Library folder from file to your Arduino installation. I should be great if you can add a text on the page https://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#installing-the-sensor-libraries that the user is recommended to make a copy before you updating library

I have some posts here for same problem https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4079/my-best-nrf24l01-pa-lna-node-gateway-repeater-so-far/9

@Yveaux Thanks. seems to be same kind of board but it is a Shield for UNO, nice. 3 pieces for the shield is USD 19, I can afford that myself

I am using IDE 1.6.8

@flopp fixed! Thanks for noticing.

Hi, I started building this great idea of solar powered soil moisture sensor. Not integrated yet in a solar light as above, but still on my desk. I tested the sensor in salted water and I get a report of 78% moisture : based on your experience, is it normal ? Then I pushed the sensor in a very humid plant pot and read 71%. I would have expected mroe differenc ecompared to salted water. So, would you advise to caliber ? I guess I could modify the calculation formula in the script.. Precisely, is it possible with Mysensor technology and Domoticz to push to a sensor a new setting (for instance to caliber using Domoticz each different sensor) ? And another question.. Is it possible to ask Domoticz to show the result of moisure reading in the Weather or Measures category rather than in the Temperature menu ? br, Ricorico94

@flopp same experience here, The sketch provided by Mysensors.org does not switch on/off the LED used to detect the dust particle (code below with corrections). I tested that sensor (Sharp_GP2Y1010AU) with smoke and because it does not have a fan (like the nova fitness SD011) or does not create a draft with a resistor (like the Shinyei PPD42NS) the fumes can go around completely undetected. When i tested the sharp and Shinyei in parallel the later seemed a lot more reliable. I also modified the code for the sharp sensor to get the arduino to loop thru multiple readings before sending a smoothed result back to the gateway. Code below with lots of debugging. /** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters.

@flylowgofast I measured how much the NRF draw, it was ~0,8mA. After change I was not able to measure the current because it was to low. I didn't reset he arduino during this test and change. I will recharge the battery and start over again. Thanks everyone

@Lawrence-Helm Ultra sonic is a distance sensor

@martinhjelmare Yes, that can be the reason. Thanks everyone

Yes, I have seen that. If I restart Domoticz and restart Node it receives Temp and Baro, create 2 new items named Temp and Baro. But after this I never get any new values not for TempHumbaro or the 2 new items, Temp and Baro. But if it starts to work after x hours maybe I can live with that.

thanks everyone. Maybe it is better to use 2 AA and a ATMEGA328P and skip the Pro-Mini. All my stuff is made for 1.8-3.6V. Maybe it will last for 2 years or something.

@Nca78 Agree. But I liked the idea of a simple text search, where you enter for example 'MOSFET' and it lights up all bins with mosfets ... It is now in my list 'projects to investigate after finishing all ongoing'

@AWI Thank again. I found one 662K at home. Now it draws ~19uA with everything connected: arduino pro mini(clone), NRF, si7021 and bmp180(without 662k) This is good enough.

@sundberg84 Message in Domoticz Log. sensor is on one arduino nano and gateway on Arduino Mega, so I think the answer is: MySensors network. I started with MySensors one week ago, so I dont understand all these names, yet

Look this Controller, MySensors adapter for him,

@rvendrame said: Once I had similar problems, a 4.7nF cap and gw.wait(100) after each transmit did the trick for me... Hope it helps somehow. I also got to this solution when experienced the same 'st:fail' issue. The arduino's delay wont help, because it wont receive anything from radio during the delay. As i got mutch less or no error with ack = false, I thing its linked to receiving some ACK packets. I have no deeper information or debugging possibilities at the moment.

@barduino @flopp sorry guys i fixed this last week but forgot to tell anyone. it shou;d be on my github

@bjacobse said: @flopp This is the correct way, to sleep and use interrupt for this so you are using interrupt http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/417/gw-sleep-and-milis Thanks
