    • RE: Magic mirror

      Same here. It's easy. I use it mostly for the battery status. It's the only red value on my mirror, at least, when they're almost drained.

    • RE: Sensebender Micro

      In Domoticz I also see sensors hemidity and sensors temperature with the type LaCrosse TX3. Does anyone know what they are?

      My two have arrived, up and running in Domoticz as WTGR800 temp + hum.

      Does it need a FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter to upload sketches?

    • RE: IR distance sensor usage?

      I did some quick coding, combining it with a temperature sensor. It did work for a couple of hours, after that my 9V battery was drained so far that I didn't get any data send from the sensors anymore. Quite likely the IR sensor uses a lot of power while it keeps transmitting IR. Anyhow, my quick and dirty code is:

      // Example sketch showing how to send in OneWire temperature readings
      #include <MySensor.h>
      #include <SPI.h>
      #include <DallasTemperature.h>
      #include <OneWire.h>
      #include <DistanceGP2Y0A21YK.h>

      #define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3 // Pin where dallase sensor is connected
      #define MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20 16
      #define CHILD_ID_DISTANCE 25
      DistanceGP2Y0A21YK Dist;
      unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 500; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
      OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
      DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
      MySensor gw;
      float lastTemperature[MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20];
      int numSensors=0;
      boolean receivedConfig = false;
      boolean metric = true;
      int distance;
      int lastDistance=0;
      int loopCounter=0;
      int loopsBetweenTemp = 60;

      // Initialize temperature message
      MyMessage msg(0,V_TEMP);
      MyMessage msgdist(CHILD_ID_DISTANCE,V_DISTANCE);

      void setup()
      {
      // Startup OneWire
      sensors.begin();
      Dist.begin(0);

      // Startup and initialize MySensors library. Set callback for incoming messages.
      gw.begin();

      // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
      gw.sendSketchInfo("Temperature and Distance Sensor", "1.0");
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_DISTANCE,S_DISTANCE);
      // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors
      numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount();

      // Present all sensors to controller
      for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
      gw.present(i, S_TEMP);
      }
      }

      void loop()
      {
      // Process incoming messages (like config from server)
      gw.process();

      distance = Dist.getDistanceCentimeter();
      if (distance != lastDistance) {
      lastDistance = distance;
      gw.send(msgdist.set(distance));
      }

      if (loopCounter == 0) {
      // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
      sensors.requestTemperatures();

      // Read temperatures and send them to controller 
      for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {
      
        // Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
        float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((gw.getConfig().isMetric?sensors.getTempCByIndex(i):sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;
      
        // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
        if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00) {
      
          // Send in the new temperature
          gw.send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature,1));
          lastTemperature[i]=temperature;
        }
      }
      

      }
      if (++loopCounter >= loopsBetweenTemp) loopCounter = 0;
      gw.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
      }

      Thanks. I'll have a look and surely will post my version.

    • IR distance sensor usage?

      Hi all,

      I'm pretty new to mysensors, although I read a lot. I bought an IR distance sensor, the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F GP2Y0A21 10~80cm Infrared Proximity Distance Sensor, but I don't know how to connect it? Anyone any idea? Maybe also an example sketch?
      Thanks,

      Evert
