@mfalkvidd Thanks! Just give me a couple of days and I will try to make a new tutorial for mysensors+openhab.

I think you are right. I have misinterpreted +-3 as +-3% of the value. It seems that is +-3 absolute %RH.

Thanks a lot.

@mfalkvidd said in Ethernet MQTT Gateway Slow to connect:

@guillermo-schimmel wouldn't it be a bit surprising if there is a delay that is only active on your system?

Sure. I'm not meaning that. Sometimes not being an english speaker is tough.

I mean that some combination of settings that I may have done (wrongly?) perhaps generated that delay.

@mfalkvidd that's really great. I'll try. Thank you very much.

@fredswed As far as I know, there isn't a better way. A thing is indeed a phisycal object, and a node groups several of them.

Can I ask you which kind of connection/gateway are you using? I'm strugling with the mqtt gateway and the binding.

Thanks

The combination openhab (2.3)+mqtt (mosquitto)+mqtt gateway+mysensor nodes works perfect end to end.

The rollershutter node, with a small addition to report position works perfect just as-is.

I wouldn't try to do the comms other way than nrf24 (perhaps nrf5x in the future). It's cheap and easy.

If you have some specific question I will be glad to help you. I'm convinced OpenHAB is the best home automation controller, but sometimes can be a little difficult to start things up.

@guillermo-schimmel Well, solved.

Good brands not means good quality.

Replaced my Cisco switch for a unbranded one:

Thank you guys a lot for your time.

It is indeed a little more complex than other solutions, but on the long run I like it because it is so powerfull and stable.

That is another advantadge of MQTT also. You can kind of isolate your devices from the controller. So if I in the future I get tired of openhab, or -hope not- they abandon the development, I could just integrate all the devices over mqtt.

But whatever works its the best solution! Good luck with domoticz!

P.S. if you want to take a look, here is my vacuum cleaner interface, I'm sure it works perfectly for domoticz

@jimmy-loyens said in openHAB 2.2 binding:

Hello, I just started to use the mysensors binding 2.2 (moving from serial gateway to ethernet gateway to accomadate MYSController) and I have some (maybe stupid) questions I cant find the answers to (I have been poking around the forum though).

First off, I have a whole bunch of the same type nodes: child0=battery/child1=humidity/child2=temperature/child3=lightintensity/child4-9 are digital inputs for doors and windows. Are such nodes supported by the binding, and how to configure them? I can find temperature, humidity and lightlevel nodes in the list (paperUI) but how can i combine these?

Second, can the nodes be automaticly discovered by the binding? In my case i have to add them all manually.

Yes they can. Use the openhab-mysensors-2.4.0-snapshot binding and they will appear.

Third, what are the var1-5 channels for? (is this the answer to my first question?)

Good question. I wonder that myself. When you know it please tell me.

Fourth, what is the difference between the two variable1 channels? in the channel name one says "var1" the other one says "custom"?

Fifth, is there a comprehencive tutorial out there on how to configure the nodes? (I have looked but cant seem to find one)

No there isn't. I think it would be a great idea to write something.

Sixed, when i add any sensor manualy i get a status for it of "UNINITIALIZED - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR ". The node ID/child ID is online sending data though.

I resolved a lot of those messages by restarting the complete OpenHAB. Not cool, but works.

am i using the latest stable version of the binding? I downloaded it a few weeks ago from eclipse market.

Use this:

Any help would be appreciated

Absolutely great work! Just discovering the extent of the work done with mysensors. Amazing. Thanks

@badmannen are you sure that your arduino doesn't have a bootloader? why are you trying to modify it?

If it doesn't have a bootloader, or if you want to play with FOTA, then what you are doing it's ok, that is the way I did it.

@badmannen

1st: In order to upload soft using a cable, you don't need to modify the bootloader. Any bootloader will work.

if and only if you want to experiment with FOTA (uploading firmware via wireless), then:

2nd: if you want to use FOTA and you choose MYSBOOTLOADER, then please check the fuses and lock bits, I dont remember them all. But it seems ok, have a try and let us know!

@badmannen 76 is the default. I uploaded different versions for all the channel numbers.

Have in mind that they all have to match (gateway and all the nodes).

If they don't match they aren't going to see each other.

@waspie it's not so much pain. I have it working fine. Setup could be simpler, but it works.

The main advantage, at least for me, is unifying all over mqtt. I have mysensors, but also some server monitoring scripts, a vacuum cleaner control, etc.

It's really nice to have a single layer of abstraction between openhab and everything else.

You have to present a node and it will appear as a thing. The rest can be empty.

I'm talking about mysensors-binding over mqtt, which is what I'm using.

I think you are right. I have misinterpreted +-3 as +-3% of the value. It seems that is +-3 absolute %RH.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys

I just assembled two very simple nodes based on the BME280.

Same Standard sketch on both (we should add one in the main site, there is not an example), battery powered.

They both work fine, but look at this:

Pressure looks fine:

But temperature and humidity are out of declared Bosch specs:

Any recommendation? Could it be a case of fake sensors? They weren't exactly cheap.

Thanks

@mahonroy It is a very interesting experiment indeed.

I just connected the batteries to the arduino, no boosting. But I have space for 2 AAs. With coin things surely are harder.

I can't help you now but will keep watching your results. Good luck!

@mahonroy Why so extreme? What is your power budget? I'm using a standard sketch for the same sensor and the power consumption is negligible.

I even added a 2 second (2000ms) powered on delay in order to mycontroller.org to detect the parent EUI.
