Many thanks. I can wait till it is published for newbies. Just wanted to know if it was possible.

Hi all,

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi All,

I am not really sure if I have misunderstood, but I think I read somewhere that it is possible to do the above with a single Arduino.

I have created an IR sensor with two individual Arduino's one acting as the Gateway and one acting as the IR Sensor node.

As this is all I want at the moment - would it be possible to integrate this functionality into one Arduino.

Questions:
Is this possible?

I am using 1.5 at the moment from the forum. Can this be used or do I need to move up to 2.0?

I am not a natural programmer. Could any one point me to an "easy" sketch so I can understand how to combine the two sketches - possibly some thing easy like a simple button LED example.

For info. I am using an Uno for my project.

Best wishes.

I thought I would close this. Just as well that my Google skills are better than my programming skills.

This sketch helped me out and resolved my issues.

Thank you. I thought that might be the case. Hence my second original question

I can see that some of the code has been commented out. Do I need to uncomment some of this (or all of it) in order for it to decode the IR button. I notice that some of it has // and some of it has /.../ Not really sure if I am supposed to uncomment all of it or just some.

// Dumps out the decode_results structure.
// Call this after IRrecv::decode()
// void * to work around compiler issue
//void dump(void *v) {
//  decode_results *results = (decode_results *)v
/*void dump(decode_results *results) {
  int count = results->rawlen;
  if (results->decode_type == UNKNOWN) {
    Serial.print("Unknown encoding: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == NEC) {
    Serial.print("Decoded NEC: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == SONY) {
    Serial.print("Decoded SONY: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == RC5) {
    Serial.print("Decoded RC5: ");
  } 
  else if (results->decode_type == RC6) {
    Serial.print("Decoded RC6: ");
  }
  else if (results->decode_type == PANASONIC) {	
    Serial.print("Decoded PANASONIC - Address: ");
    Serial.print(results->panasonicAddress,HEX);
    Serial.print(" Value: ");
  }
  else if (results->decode_type == JVC) {
     Serial.print("Decoded JVC: ");
  }
  Serial.print(results->value, HEX);
  Serial.print(" (");
  Serial.print(results->bits, DEC);
  Serial.println(" bits)");
  Serial.print("Raw (");
  Serial.print(count, DEC);
  Serial.print("): ");

  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    if ((i % 2) == 1) {
      Serial.print(results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
    } 
    else {
      Serial.print(-(int)results->rawbuf[i]*USECPERTICK, DEC);
    }
    Serial.print(" ");
  }
  Serial.println("");
}
*/

Can you advise what I should uncomment?
I presume once I have got the correct code from the serial monitor and running above. I can then enter it here

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
  if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
     int incomingRelayStatus = message.getInt();
     if (incomingRelayStatus == 1) {
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x1EE17887, 32); // Vol up yamaha ysp-900
     } else {
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x1EE1F807, 32); // Vol down yamaha ysp-900
     }
     // Start receiving ir again...
    irrecv.enableIRIn(); 
  }
}

This will then allow Domoticz to create the device switch.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Best wishes.

Yes - The gateway is shown under Hardware. I am using it with other nodes Temp sensors.

I can also see the IR sensor in the Domoticz log

I just can't find a device I can add.

Thank you. I don't think it is broken. If I press a key on the remote I can see some output in the serial monitor. I just don't see any device in domoticz.

Hi All,

I may have misunderstood the use case here.
Following the build http://www.mysensors.org/build/ir

I have connected only an IR Receive Sensor to Power 5V Grnd & Pin 8.
IR Transmitter is not connected

What I am trying to achieve is to press a button on a remote and then have domoticz act upon it through a script.

The Sensor serial monitor appears to be telling me that it is communicating with the Gateway, at least I don't see "Fail" anywhere. I can also see reference to IRSensor in the Domoticz log. So far so good.

A couple of questions
However I don't appear to see any device in the Domoticz list that I can add. Have I missed a step?

I can see that some of the code has been commented out. Do I need to uncomment some of this (or all of it) in order for it to decode the IR button. I notice that some of it has // and some of it has /.../ Not really sure if I am supposed to uncomment all of it or just some.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

@sundberg84

Thank you. That makes sense.

For the moment I'll use the timer in Domoticz as a quick fix. My programming skills are 0 at the moment. However I will google to see if I can figure your way out.

Best wishes.

Hi All,

New to both Domoticz and MySensors.
I have set up a node using http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2001/how-to-make-a-simple-cheap-scene-controller-with-video
All appears to working well.
I can see the new node in Domoticz logs and when I press each key I can see an entry.

2016-01-31 19:17:41.201 New sensors allowed for 5 minutes...
2016-01-31 19:17:50.916 MySensors: Node: 14, Sketch Name: Scene Controller
2016-01-31 19:17:50.948 MySensors: Node: 14, Sketch Version: 1.0
2016-01-31 19:17:58.917 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)

2016-01-31 19:18:12.338 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)

I then add them as devices and change the names Scene1, Scene2, etc.

However from then onwards nothing happens when I press the keypad. I don't see any activity in the log.

I suspect that Lighting 2 AC On, Level: 100 % are not the correct parameters for what I am using as I would not have thought that an Off/On switch was appropriate for a press switch.

However I have tried some other types of switches, tried changing from On/Off to "Push On" but I don't appears to making any progress.

Can any one help guide me?

What I am trying to do is - Once Domoticz registers the appropriate switch being pressed I will have it call a script.

Best wishes.

James.
