Added ACK to one of my senors, node sending values correctly, but ACK failing.

I've bumped up the CAP on the gateway to 330uF and no change :(

I also dropped bandwidth to 250Kbps and power to low, no change either.

I did another test, I sent all presentation of sensors to request ACK and this below is the output.
Although there is only two fails, I think I'm going to have to setup dedicated power for each and try again... unless there is another way?

I upgraded the Cap on the gateway to a 47uF and no change...

This is the serial monitor of the Node, as you can see, it's successfully transmitting data:

This is the serial output of the gateway, where I let it read for a while then send command via serial (101;4;1;0;3;0):

( arduino and radio)

Hi,

I'm powering the gateway from raspberry pi 2 and has a 10uF Cap.
The node is powered from Arduino Nano and has a 22uF Cap.

I have tried giving each radio module a separate power supply but that didn't help.

What is interesting though, is that the module sends sensor values for 4 sensors and with ACK, the gateway (Arduino) replies successfully. The failure only comes when I try send from parse information from serial input.

I think I'm going to try put bigger capacitors on each and see what happens... just not sure how big I can go :)

Hi Everyone,

I tried adding the following code to my gateway, to see if it will send the value to the sensor to set it, but it fails with:
0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-101-101 s=2,c=1,t=2,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:1

Added to loop():

  if (!sentSensorValue)
  {
	  delay(2500);
	  MyMessage message;
	  message.setDestination(101);
	  message.setSensor(2);
	  message.setType(2);
	  message.set(1);

	  gw.send(message);
	  sentSensorValue = true;
  }

Hi Hek,

I don't want to add a sensor to the gateway, I want to send a command to a node with the sensor.

J

jgporteous

Ok, so if I take a step back and exclude OpenHab.

Surly I should be able to send data from gateway to a node?
I can send from node to gateway, and ACK is returned successfully.

So, If I use a serial interface and send a string, like I did above, should that work with API 1.5?

msg.setDestination

Here is a silly question, do I need on msg variable per sensor on my arduino node - Currently I only have one, and do a msg.preset for each?

These are the rules I have (only applicable to this problem):

//switch function
val org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.Functions$Function4 switchOperation = [
    org.openhab.core.library.items.SwitchItem relayItem, 
    org.openhab.core.library.items.StringItem arduinoItem, 
    String arduinoDevMap,
    Integer subType|
    
    logInfo("Function: switchOperation ","Starting for " + relayItem.name)
    
    var Integer state = 0
    if (relayItem.state != null)
    {   if (relayItem.state == ON) {
        state = 1
    }
    else {
        state = 0
    }
    
    logInfo("Function: switchOperation ",arduinoDevMap + "1;1;" + subType + ";" + state )
    
    }
 
    arduinoItem.sendCommand(arduinoDevMap + "1;0;" + subType + ";" + state + "\n")
]

// Mappings
var HashMap<String, String> sensorToItemsMap = newLinkedHashMap(
    "101;0;"            -> "Balcony_Temperature_Soil"
    ,"Balcony_Temperature_Soil"       -> "101;0;"
    ,"101;1;"            -> "Balcony_Temperature_Air"
    ,"Balcony_Temperature_Air"       -> "101;1;"
    ,"101;2;"            -> "Balcony_Humidity_Air"
    ,"Balcony_Humidity_Air"       -> "101;2;"
    ,"101;3;"            -> "Balcony_Light_Lux"
    ,"Balcony_Light_Lux"       -> "101;3;"
    ,"101;4;"            -> "Balcony_Water_Relay"
    ,"Balcony_Water_Relay"      -> "101;4;"
)

  

rule "Balcony_Water_Relay Switch Rule"
    when
        Item Balcony_Water_Relay changed
    then
    logInfo("Water Relay","Changing state of Water Relay")
        switchOperation.apply(Balcony_Water_Relay, Arduino, sensorToItemsMap.get("Balcony_Water_Relay"), V_LIGHT)
        	
               
end

let me look that up and try :)

Hi Hek,

If you look at this: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/SerialGateway/SerialGateway.ino

Line 117 to 123 takes a message and sends it. This is what I'm trying to do, so my code is the same already. :)
I'm just not sure why it's not working.

J

jgporteous

Thanks Hek, I will have a look at that.

What is the logic behind not being able to send from the gateway?
I'm trying to send a value to a node, to turn on a relay.

The rule fails, and when I try manually send via a serial monitor (or any listed above) it also fails.

J

jgporteous

I tried adding the below code to the gateway in setup() to see if it would send...

Serial.println("Sending Value for Relay... ON");
gw.send(msg.setSensor(4).set(1));
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Sending Value for Relay... OFF");
gw.send(msg.setSensor(4).set(1));
delay(1000);

and I get this response:

Sending Value for Relay... ON
0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-0-0 s=4,c=1,t=2,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:1
Sending Value for Relay... OFF
0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-0-0 s=4,c=1,t=2,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=fail:1

Still looking for any ideas on this problem...

Hi everyone,
I have a strange on for you...

I've setup a Serial Gateway using NRF24l0+ modules.

When I request ACK for a node/sensor, I can see it's sent.
0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-101-101 s=4,c=0,t=2,pt=0,l=11,sg=0,st=ok:Water Re

But when I have a rule for example:
arduinoItem.sendCommand(arduinoDevMap + "1;0;" + subType + ";" + state + "\n")

It fails. So I decided to past my command in a serial monitor connected to the gateways' arduino node.
When I past 101;4;1;0;2;1 it also fails: 0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-101-101 s=4,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:1

I've traced the code to the function: RF24::write where it fails.

I've tried enabling FAILURE_HANDLING in the RF24_config file but that doesn't help.

All other operations are working as expected:

Sensor values sent to gateway
ACK response sent back to node

Any ideas?
