@berkseo do you have a 3d Model of the Sensor? I could support with designing a housing if you want!

@berkseo cool thanks for your update, really impressive which detail you are aiming to achieve!
I'm planning to get some as soon as possible already gathering the parts. Any chance you upload the PCB?

@berkseo it looks very good! Is testing running good?
Any hickups ?

@berkseo ah thanks. If you need somebody to test. I would be happy to do so.

@berkseo on the second restart the temperature shows 46°C that's why in wondered of this is caused by testing. As during "normal" using this should not be an issue

@berkseo awesome! Great work!
One question: the high temperature is a result of testing? So with a long enough sleep time the temp will be accurate?

@berkseo thanks!

@berkseo any chance you can provide a brief feedback?
What is your status on the software side?

Looking good! Please keep up the awesome work.

Sounds good to me! Thanks a lot for your effort!

@scalz just found this project. It looks amazing!
Is there anything we can do to support the progress?

@tbowmo i have some left over. If you are interested just shoot me a pm
Thanks

Hi Guys,

I am having troubles with the Version 015 ( i have checked that DI00 is routed to PIN2).

My definition for the radio looks like this:

// Enable and select radio type attached 
#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
#define MY_IS_RFM69HW
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ

but i still get a error:
!TSM:FPAR:FAIL

Adding a capacitor did nit help either. Does someone have a similar Issue?

Thanks

@mtiutiu
got that too

@mtiutiu
already got the Si7021, will get a MAX44009 and give it a go, I will check back when i started going!

@mtiutiu
is there anything we can do to help you?
I would be really interested :simple_smile:

Hi all,

I am working on a I Button reader (Key Holder for homestatus use). I have everything working but one detail...
I have 2 seperat OneWire conections (will be 4 in future), each is connected to one reader. Getting the ID of each button works fine but on the first reader I get the ID (8 byte long) and random numbers attached to the end when I send it.
On the second reader there is also a number attached but it stays the same.

• is there a way to shorten the send value (V_VAR1) to valid digits?

thanks in advance

oh yes, this is the sketch I am using:

    send(ReadMsg_2.set(addr_2,HEX)); 
     addr_2_last = 0;

  }

  delay(del);
  return;
  }

edit:
for clarification:
this is the 8 byte code:
"0102E47F1600003F"
but V_VARxxx is something like:
"0102E47F1600003F0000017CD2861800"
so first 16 digits are correct then random

Hi Guys,

thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
I was missing some defines:

#define MY_IS_RFM69HW
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ

now everything looks fine. The node is already discovered in FHEM and working!

thanks again!

@gohan:

• recheked wiring checked, it is ok (now... DI00 was missing), still the same troubles

• thea are roughly 40cm apart (Desk)

• i am using the nrf2rfm69 adapter board, so capacitor is really close

• downgrading to 2.0 gets this result:

• changing channels and wpoerlevel works in MySensors.h? As I am just starting with the RFM i did not come across that yet. I also stumbled over the "Connecting the Radio" howto, where is mentioned that some lines need to be added to MySensors.h. Is this needed? if yes where to add them?

@maman I know that the NRF is the easier one, and I do have several nodes using it. The range issue of the fake modules is bugging me. therefore is would like to give the RFM a go

thanks for your support !

Hi all,

as the fake NRFs are kind of annoing with ther varying ranges i decied to give the RFMs a try.
Therefore i gut a sensberger gateway with following sketch:

/**
 * 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.

 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment MY_DEFAULT_xxx_LED_PIN in the sketch below
 * - 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/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

a capacitor is already in place on the node.
Am i looking into a Gateway or node issue here? any suggestions?

thanks in advance

@tekka thanks! that did the trick!

So I think i have a maybe already solved issue, but I can not get int working...
In Arduino IDE 1.8.1 this is the error during compiling:

"Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\samd\1.6.12\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:48:17: fatal error: sam.h: No such file or directory"

• I have the MySensors SAMD boards installed, so Sensbender Gateway is availabe

• Arduino SAMD boards are also installed

• I have installed the "M0" boards

• Running windows 10 so no need for the inf file, is this correct?

what am I missing?

thanks in advance!

@mfalkvidd:
also with S_INFO amd V_TEXT the gateway only receives a "1"...

I just searched and played a little more and i got i working now:

The issue seemed to be the string, now with a char it works...

now i only need to get reset the reader every now an then to recognice if a tag is removed. The reader only updates when a tag enters the reading adistance but not when it leaves it.

thanks!

I am using FHEM as controller.

Log of the gateway:

102;1;1;0;24;1

so it receives a "1" correct?
Can Mysesnors handle strings?

so this is the debug:
I also just figurer out, that i can only see the tag code when i use 9600 baud, thats why the first line is messed up. When i use 115200 baud the tag ID does not show up...

can it be the case the the format of the tag ID is not correct?

Hello everybody,

i am trying to establish a node with a RFID reader to recognice which Resident is at home. Therefore I have a ID-3LA including antenna.
The reader works fin with this sketch:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial rfid = SoftwareSerial(5, 6);
String msg;

void setup()  
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  rfid.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Ready");
}

void loop(){
  msg = "";
  
  while(rfid.available()>0) {
    msg += char(rfid.read());
    delay(1);
  }
  
  if(msg.length() >= 13) {
     msg=msg.substring(1,13);
     tone(4, 262, 100);
     Serial.println(msg);
  }
}

this code results on the serial Monitor with 9600 baud in something like:

Ready
0100B058FD14

which is excactly what i want (for now).

But Iam strugeling implementing it into MySensors, that is what i came up with:

/**
 * ID-3LA       Arduino
 * -----      -------
 * GND   ->   GND
 * VCC   ->   +3.3V
 * D0   ->   D5
 * D1   ->   D6
 * FORM -> GND
 */

// Enable debug prints to serial monitor
#define MY_DEBUG 

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

#define MY_NODE_ID 102 

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>  
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial rfid = SoftwareSerial(5, 6);
String key;

#define CHILD_ID 1   // Id of the sensor child

MyMessage KeyMsg(CHILD_ID, V_VAR1);

void setup()  
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  rfid.begin(9600);
  //Serial.println("Ready");
}

void presentation()  {
  sendSketchInfo("RFID Reader", "1.0");
  present(CHILD_ID, S_CUSTOM);
}

void loop(){
  key = "";
  
  while(rfid.available()>0) {
    key += char(rfid.read());
    delay(1);
  }
  
  if(key.length() >= 13) {
     key=key.substring(1,13);
     Serial.println(key);
     send(KeyMsg.set(key)); 
     
     
  }
} 

but i do not get any readings... as i still consider myself as a started i have very little clou where to beginn finding the wrong/missing parts. It would be great to get some indications or tips.

thanks in advance!

@fleshfear: ok got it also working. Thanks. mine works with 3.3V and 5V

@fleshfear great! I will try it as soon as i can!

@fleshfear sorry that i can not help, but i just ran into the very same issue... any solutions yet or at least reasons for the

Couldn't find PN53x board

@Mercury69 I would also love to have a look at your scetch!

ok found the answer
the latest Time.h is only pointing to TimeLib.h so if I am calling TimeLib.h (instead of Time.h) directly it compiles

@AWI as did got get my modifcations 100% running I was pumped to see your latest update, but for reasons i do not understand i get an error while compiling:

error: 'hour' was not declared in this scope

same is the case for setTime, minute etc...

i already tried some stuff with the time.h but it seems nothing has an impact, not even deleting the whole library (which should end in a "libraby not found" error, but only shows the errors described above)
any idea what to look for?

thanks

@mfalkvidd : ok thanks i think i got it now.
As i only want to send the temperature and humidity once every x seconds/minutes, but the IR must be always ready for receiving/sending i can not use sleep (otherwise the sensor only sends when the nod is awake.

I have now used

wait

which does the trick : So temp and hum only every minute but IR signals whenever i want. Is "wait" the right tool here or a band aid?

thanks!

ah ok, so it is generating traffic which is not needed. Is there a way of smart-sleeping without the hearteat? normal sleep does not work with the recieving part of the sketch...

Hi

i have combined IR Sending with a SI7021 temperature & humidity sensor.
As i am still new to Mysensors and Arduino i have tweaked to send the temp & humidity once every minute but accept IR orders every 250ms which works fine. My sketch looks like this:

// Enable debug prints
#define MY_DEBUG

// Enable and select radio type attached
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
//#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

#define MY_NODE_ID 112

#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>
#include <IRLib.h>
#include "Adafruit_Si7021.h"

#include <Wire.h>


#define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
#define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
#define CHILD_ID_IR  2  // childId

int counter = 0;

Adafruit_Si7021 sensor = Adafruit_Si7021();
IRsend irsend;

MyMessage msgIR(CHILD_ID_IR, V_VAR1);
MyMessage msgT(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
MyMessage msgH(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);

void presentation()  {
  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  sendSketchInfo("IR Sender & Temp Hum", "1.0");

  // Register a sensors to  Use binary light for test purposes.
  present(CHILD_ID_IR, S_LIGHT);
  present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
  present(CHILD_ID_TEMP,S_TEMP);

  delay(500); // Allow time for radio if power useed as reset
   sensor.begin();
}

void loop() 
{
smartSleep(250); // adjust sleeping time here 250ms in this case 
   ServerUpdate();
   counter ++;
}



void receive(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, 0x10C8E11E, 32); // acer Beamer Power
     } else {
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x10C8E11E, 32); // acer Beamer Power
      wait(1000); // Pause zwische zwei mal ausschalten
      irsend.send(NEC, 0x10C8E11E, 32); // acer Beamer Power
     }
  }
}
void ServerUpdate() // used to read sensor data and send it to controller
{
  double T, H;
  T=sensor.readTemperature();
  H=sensor.readHumidity();
  if (counter >= 240){ // 240*250ms = 1minute
      send(msgT.set(T,1));
      send(msgH.set(H,1));
      counter = 0;
  
       
   // unmark for debuging
    //  Serial.print("T = \t"); Serial.print(T, 1); Serial.print(" degC\t");
    //  Serial.print("H = \t"); Serial.print(H, 1); Serial.println(" %\t");
  }
}

It works like it should but in debugging mode I see that it seems to send a lot of messages like this:

TSP:MSG:SEND 112-112-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=22,pt=5,l=4,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:251177

TSP:MSG:SEND 112-112-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=22,pt=5,l=4,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:258473

so i guess it is spaming my setup, or does it?
It would be greate to understand why these messages are sent and how to avoid this.

and once every minute:

TSP:MSG:SEND 112-112-0-0 s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:23.1
TSP:MSG:SEND 112-112-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=1,pt=7,l=5,sg=0,ft=0,st=ok:59.2

which is fine

It would be greate to understand why these messages are sent and how to avoid this.

thanks in advance

@carmelo42 yes

ups... C5 is also not there on my board,it shoud be parallel to C4!

@carmelo42: maybe this helps, all Cs and the R assembled!

thank you :thumbsup:

Hi,

thank you both, i will be testing soon!

thanks again!

Hi,

i am still kind of a beginner in programming...

how does the:

 * This sketch is extensible to support more than one MOSFET/PWM dimmer per circuit.
 * http://www.mysensors.org/build/dimmer

work?

i have tried starting with adding a "_1" LED_PIN and other stuff:

#define LED_PIN 3      // Arduino pin attached to MOSFET Gate pin
#define LED_PIN_1 6      // Arduino pin attached to MOSFET Gate pin
#define FADE_DELAY 35  // Delay in ms for each percentage fade up/down (10ms = 1s full-range dim)

static int currentLevel = 0;  // Current dim level...
static int currentLevel_1 = 0;  // Current dim level...
MyMessage dimmerMsg(0, V_DIMMER);
MyMessage dimmerMsg1(1, V_DIMMER);
MyMessage lightMsg(0, V_LIGHT);
MyMessage lightMsg1(1, V_LIGHT);

/***
 * Dimmable LED initialization method
 */
void setup()  
{ 
  // Pull the gateway's current dim level - restore light level upon sendor node power-up
  request( 0, V_DIMMER );
  request( 1, V_DIMMER );
}

void presentation() {
  // Register the LED Dimmable Light with the gateway
  present( 0, S_DIMMER );
  present( 1, S_DIMMER );
  
  sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);
}

, but this does not seem right, as i can not differentiat between for the input

thanks in advance

@AWI thanks alot, i will have a look

hopefully nothing serios... either way all the best

@AWI:

would you mind sharing the sketches?

did anybody already upgraded the 12 Input pulse counter to 2.0? just asking :bowtie:

Hi Guys,

i do have right now a problem with me NodeMcu NRF Gateway,
it was working for some time ok but after one reboot (yes it did work before) i did not come back up this is the code i am using:

/**
 * 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
 * VCC        VCC
 * CE         GPIO4          
 * CSN/CS     GPIO15
 * SCK        GPIO14
 * MISO       GPIO12
 * MOSI       GPIO13
 * GND        GND
 *            
 * 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.

I already tried using older ESP Versions in the Board Manager but this resulted in a error during compiling
I also did a eeprom clean with the Mysensors: ClearEepromConfig.ino
A normal blinking scetch does work on the NodeMcu

Any ideas?

thanks

@activemind
do you already have a BOM? and is there chance to help you out? I would be willing to assemble one or two of the boards :bowtie:

i just found you project, looks pretty cool!
did you manege to get it running?

Hi all,

as many of you already did your own design, I also started working on that, as any other solution only covered 75% of my whishes .
Therefore i established my own :bowtie: , but as I am a beginner in Hardwaredesign I would like to ask for your opinion to do as little mistakes as possible.

What i wanted:

• arduino Pro mini (china)

• 2 LED Dimmer circuits

• 1Wire for SHt7021 and light sensor

• DS18b20 connection

• PIR connection

• small form factor (no mounting holes needed yet)

thats what i came up with (KiCad files):
0_1459080161874_Mysensor_1.pdf
0_1459080236009_Mysensors_01.kicad_pcb
0_1459080257370_Mysensors_01.sch

It would be great to get some feedback about layout and the schematics!

thanks in advance!

The footprint should show how the board, component looks in reality, correct?
then the Mysensors one is different: (it is rotated 180, the programming pins are not shown)

EDIT: I just double checked, you are right, pins are corresponding only 27-29 is additional, never-mind, thanks for your making me look again!

Hi all,
I am just getting started working with KiCad, adding the MySensors libraries is working fine, also footprints are good!
The only thing i am still looking for is a comprehensive Arduino lib including footprints for some china Arduinos, especially for this one:

Any idea where I could get the missing footprint and library?

thanks
Jeti

Cool thanks! What MOSFETs do you use?
Thanks again for you effort!!!

@LastSamurai: I would also be really interested in the BOM!

@Nicola-Reina said:

Anybody wanting 10 kits at a bargain price. I am sellling them at bargain price due to lack of time to play with them.
If you are in Rome I can hand it over directly . If you are at EU maker faire this week end even better see you there.
Otherwise I ship them too

KR

Still got the 10Kits?

was not that much work
this is the modified master-sketch from AWI i am starting to use. The changes i made:
-deletion of LCD and rotray part
-deletion of accumulation part
-modified meterType to meter800, meter1000 and meter2000 this reflects meters with 800imp/khw;1000imp/kwh;2000imp/kwh

I am using this with only one meter (2000imp/kwh) for now and works pretty nicly second different meter type is on the way.

As I am a beginner please be gentle with comments

@m26872: Ithink you are right, that would have helped too, or just deleting the device and getting it autoincluded again help too
thanks

@AWI: nevermind I will start workin on it
Thanks again for the great work!

@AWI thanks again!
I am using your sketches with only one S0 Meter (the 2000pulse/kwh one).
*One thing i just found out, that as long as the master arduino is connected to the serial port of my pc it is running fine but when its not, it does not send.I have checked the voltage at the radio and it is the same... I also do not have any display or rotary encoder, as I do the visualisation with FHEM.
Do you know why this is the case? * -> Voltage was to low... but the secon question remains:

Any idea to use differen pulses/kwh S0 meters? for example one 2000pulse/kwh and one 800 pulse/kwh.
thanks in advance!

Hi all,
the todays update of the Mysensors modul in FHEM caused my switches and dimmer to not work anymore:
error: "switch1 not defined: no mapping for reading switch1"
and the same with the dimmer:
"dimmer1 not defined: no mapping for reading dimmer1"

did this also happen to some of you?

thanks

@AWI
thanks! as i do not have display (yet) i just did the calculations in the "sendPowerUpdate" -> now it works perfect
I just double check with a powermeter to see if everything is ok.

Hi, great work

as my S0 meter uses 2000imp/kwh and my reading seem to be twice as high as they should be i guess your meters do 1000imp/kwh?
As i am still working on my programming skills i could not figure out where to change this
can you give me a hint which 1000 to change out with my 2000?

thanks!

@maglo18: is the sketch in the first post your latest version? I would also like to do a very similar build and would like to get the best base

thanks!

found it, it was a not stable 3.3V for the radio... added a cap now everything works!

just tried cleared the sensors eeprom, did not show any difference.
As the "find parent" is the only line in the serial consol, do you think it can be related to the gateway?

Hi all,

i just built a motion, lux and dimmer sensor. The sketch is working perfeclty on a UNO+breadboard but does not seem to work on a pro mini+hardwired, i check the wiring already twice...
The error i get in serial consol is:

" find parent"

what could be the trigger for this?
thanks

that was tip out of my post
Did not help with the "radio init fail"
Any other area to look at?

the "check wires" error shows when the radio is not wired up correctly. Are you certain that everything is wired up correctly?

But i also have the same "radio init fail" in a relay sensor which worked befor flawless.
I just tried this tip:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/728/radio-setup-give-check-wires/30
out of this thread:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1728/uno-ethernet-shield-radio-init-fail-solved
This did not do change anything. Did you already try this?

sorry for digging up this older thread but I do have a very similar problem:
Ijust build a Ethernet gateway with the W5100 module and the gateway starts then works for a while and will freeze after generating a reading like this:

0;0;3;0;9;read: 103-103-0 s=2,c=1,t=38,pt=7,l=5:17806714000000.000000

103 is a temperature sensor which works totally fine on a serial gateway.
I can not reproduce this error but it happens within minutes of a fresh start.

I still can ping the gateway, the power source is a PC USB port (for now) the radio has no Capacitor on 3,3V

any clue where to start debugging (I am fairly new to arduino/MySensors)

thanks

thanks!
is the reason for this saving of battery live? -> less sending?

Hi,

is it correct, that the standard humidity sketch is only sending new values when there is a change?

In my case, as the temp and humidity is constant, there can be hours without new reading ( Iam using DHT11)

It would be great to get a short feedback if this is "how it should be" in the standard configuration?

Does anybody has a sketch where every time all the data is send?

thanks
