    • RE: 4 doors sensors and 4 move sensors on the same node

      If the door switches act like normal reed switchen then it is correct that you can put one wire to ground and the other one on an input of the arduino.
      Internally you can set the pullup resistor on the pin and check when the signal goes to low, to detect that the door is closed. If the door opens and the reed switch is open, you will get a high signal from the input pin.
      But you can also connect one pin of the sensor to 5V and the check if the output pin of the sensor goes to high when the door is closed.

      For the movement sensors you have to check the signals. There should be at least 3 pins for each sensor, power, ground and the signal itself.

    • RE: MySensors 2.0.0 Released

      Is there an overview about what was changed since the latest 1.x version?

      Edit:
      Sorry, did not see the link.

    • RE: [SOLVED] Only TX led is blinking, ERR and RX led are alway on

      How are the leds connected to the arduino? Are the LEDs connected to ground or 5V?

    • RFM69 - Which module to use?

      Hello,

      I want to switch my NRF24L01+ modules with RFM69 modules.

      Which version of the RFM69 should I use? I have seen there are 3 different frequency versions and some versions with H, C and W?

      I want to have a better range. I currently use the NRF24L01 modules on battery nodes to transmit humidy and temperature every 5 minutes. So no big data.

      Regards
      Stefan

    • RE: debug battery powered node

      Why not just connect the rx and tx pins and ground?

      This is how I debug my battery based sensors and run them from the battery. You even dont need the rx pin if you don't want to send commands to the node.

    • RE: RFM69 and nRF24L01+

      It is not possible to mix the two type of radios, but you can install a second gateway with a RFM69 module, if the controller supports multiple gateways.

    • RE: 💬 MySWeMosGWShield - WeMos Mini MySensors Gateway Shield

      I did also receive all parts today and did solder an NRF24L01+PA+LNA WiFi Gateway. Everything runs fine from the beginning. Thanks.

    • RE: Upgrade to 2.1.0

      If you upgrade from version 2.0 to 2.1 you can just compile the sketch without any modification.

    • RE: ESP8266 - new WiFi settings

      Okay I have now tried the following sketch:

      /*
       *  This sketch sends data via HTTP GET requests to data.sparkfun.com service.
       *
       *  You need to get streamId and privateKey at data.sparkfun.com and paste them
       *  below. Or just customize this script to talk to other HTTP servers.

      const char* ssid     = "your-ssid";
      const char* password = "your-password";
      
      const char* host = "data.sparkfun.com";
      const char* streamId   = "....................";
      const char* privateKey = "....................";
      
      void setup() {
        Serial.begin(115200);
        delay(10);
      
        // We start by connecting to a WiFi network
      
        Serial.println();
        Serial.println();
        Serial.print("Connecting to ");
        Serial.println(ssid);
        
        WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
        
        while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
          delay(500);
          Serial.print(".");
        }
      
        Serial.println("");
        Serial.println("WiFi connected");  
        Serial.println("IP address: ");
        Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
      }
      
      int value = 0;
      
      void loop() {
        delay(5000);
        ++value;
      
        Serial.print("connecting to ");
        Serial.println(host);
        
        // Use WiFiClient class to create TCP connections
        WiFiClient client;
        const int httpPort = 80;
        if (!client.connect(host, httpPort)) {
          Serial.println("connection failed");
          return;
        }
        
        // We now create a URI for the request
        String url = "/input/";
        url += streamId;
        url += "?private_key=";
        url += privateKey;
        url += "&value=";
        url += value;
        
        Serial.print("Requesting URL: ");
        Serial.println(url);
        
        // This will send the request to the server
        client.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
                     "Host: " + host + "\r\n" + 
                     "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
        unsigned long timeout = millis();
        while (client.available() == 0) {
          if (millis() - timeout > 5000) {
            Serial.println(">>> Client Timeout !");
            client.stop();
            return;
          }
        }
        
        // Read all the lines of the reply from server and print them to Serial
        while(client.available()){
          String line = client.readStringUntil('\r');
          Serial.print(line);
        }
        
        Serial.println();
        Serial.println("closing connection");
      }
      

      the output looks like expected:

      Connecting to your-ssid
      

      But uploading the following MySensors sample sketch does not update the WiFi settings:

       * 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. Each
       * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
       * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

       * REVISION HISTORY
       * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
       * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex, 
       * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
       * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
       * 
       * DESCRIPTION
       * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link. 
       * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
       *
       * VERA CONFIGURATION:
       * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin. 
       * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
       *
       * LED purposes:
       * - To use the feature, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
       * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
       * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
       * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error  
       * 
       * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.
       * nRF24L01+  ESP8266

       * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
       * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
       * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
       * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
       * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
       * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
       * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
       * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
       * 
        * Inclusion mode button:
       * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
       * 
       * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!
       *
       * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

    • RE: ESP8266 - new WiFi settings

      I found some kind of "solution"

      I did now reset the configuration of the ESP8266 with:

       ESP.eraseConfig();
       ESP.reset();
      

      And now it accepts the new WiFi configuration with each upload of a sketch.

      I hope this helps other people that have the same problem.
