My idea is to provide a kit with everything a user needs to build a RooDe. That would include the enclosure, sensors (pre soldered), cables in the correct length and screws/nuts. Pleas vote

Today is finally the day where i write about my lovely project: RooDe.
RooDe is a fairly low price reliable PeopleCounter using the MySensors library for communication. The project started as a university project about 2 years ago. I started with a scientific research about exisiting products, people counting techniques and so forth.
The main goal was to built a low price but reliable people counting system for door ways. I tried a lot of diffierent methods and sensors and ended up with a good combination (two SHARP IR sensors). The system is working very well for me and i use it (passive) nearly every day since then.

After the university project i continued the development, fixed a lot of bugs, made the system even more reliable, modular and cleaner. At the moment i am switching to fairly new sensors, the VL53L0X which are much better for that prupose due to the non analog interface (which caused a lot of problems...). I refactored the whole project and created a new repository on GitHub: https://github.com/Lyr3x/Roode

Features:

• Configurable Setup
  • Different measuring sensors
  • OLED support (displaying the counter and boot up Info)
  • PIR for wakeup after sleep
  • Push-Button support for manual counter change on the hardware itself (not finished yet)
• Calibration system for your own environment
  • Threshold calculation using standard deviation
  • Recalibration via Domoticz
  • Update Counter via Domoticz
• Domoticz setup to control Roode and automate things
• BatteryMode - With a pair of 18650 i used the system for about 3 month.
  • Battery management can be improved though!
• STL files for a 3D printable enclosure (Available via GitHub)

Hardware used:

• Any Atmel 328P AVR (Arduino Pro Mini 5V is working well)
• 2x VL53L0X/VL53L1X
  • The VL53XXX are using I²C and are much more reliable up to 2m/4m
• HC-SR501
• 1x NRF24L01+ incl. Power Adapter
  • Alternative: RFM69 or ESP8266 (ESP8266 for MQTT)
• 1x CP2101 Micro USB TTL Adapter and used as power supply
• 1x 128x32 OLED Display (Optional)

When using ESP8266/ESP32 i recommend the wemos d1 mini boards (available with 8266 and 32) as i build another super small enclosure with a pcb to connect all devices. As the Arduino hardware is super limited the project continues on the ESP platform using MQTT as transmitter

I have a lot more ideas and plans how to improve RooDe and hope some guys will test the system and give me some feedback. I would really appreciate some feedback about the code itself. I think there is a lot to improve.
Feel free to open issues and contribute to the project!

Some of my ideas where i would really appreciate some support:

• Developing one PCB with all the stuff integrated to make the whole system much smaller and less messy -> If anyone with experience wants to help me to achieve this i would very appreciate a message.
• Developing support for the VL53L1X
  • These new sensors support programmable ROI position -> Its possible to define two ROI's to count people with one sensor or we can cover 4 ROI's with two sensors to make it possible to count 2 people entering simultaneously. Need to get two sensors to implement this.
• OTA update mechanism (Not sure if this is a good idea though)

I'll attach some pictures of the development process. Hope you like the idea and implementation Cheers!

Then i calibrate my IR Sensors (Analog pins 7 and which fails because:

43
47
48
56
72
79
95
111
125
New threshold is: 19327

i am just calculating an average... After that the sensor does not detect movement through both sensors which results in not sending anything or i just getting a TNR.

When reading values like IRR:770
IRC:376
wihtout the included library the sensor will send a new state. This is a very strange behavior.

@alowhum @mfalkvidd is totally right. You will get 4 (straight cutted) people parts.

Because the system needs to be mounted in a doorway or sth. like that it is only possible to count one person at a time. For me it is not a real world problem because i never enter a room with a second body next to me, do you?

Regarding foolproofnes: It is more or less. The system itself should be plug and play (due to the self calibration function) and the domoticz part (a how to setup guide is included) isnt that complicated.

If send had the same signature as the mysensors send it will be endless but it dont. Maybe i should rename my own send function.
Should i clear the array by hand after the calibration? I thought this is not needed..

Edit: thanks for the hint with the array. If i init the array with 250 ints the display is working for now.

What is the best way to "clear/remove" an array?

@alowhum Well you are totally right there are many edge cases and situations where people counter cant work realiable. But if you think about your home automation universe, how often these edge cases coming along?
To clarify: Reliable in this context means the system is capable to count one person at a time walking through a doorway or any two walls in range of 4 meters.

These things never were as reliable as they needed to be.

That depends on your expectations. At least two persons walking every day through a Roode setup and of course it happens every week that i need to tune the counter manually via the domoticz app. I tried multiple methods and sensors to count people. In my opinion you dont need a 100% reliable people counter covering every edge case and scenario.

People coming in through the window.

Seriously?

This project is not an industrial standard system, which should used as an alarm system or sth. like that. It's counting people to turn your fan and lights on. But if you entering your rooms through the window put another system behind your window...

People walking out halfway, changing their mind and walking back in

Is covered.

Children that are too short to be counted.

If possible adjust the size. Everything between hip and shoulder works fine.

Summary:
The system is built to use in a private smart home stuff scenario, where you don't enter your room and jump out of the window. If you carry something out of room and you don't do that every day the system will give you a huge benefit in laziness and don't bother you with unreliability.
I don't cover gigantic doorways where crowds entering a room simultane. There are also cats and birds who are not countable too.

No people counter will ever be 100% reliable.
To be hones. No sensor every will be.

I got your points and you are right, but in my opinion you should adjust your expectations within the context. I did not advertised a 100% reliable but a reliable system. But i added some "" to make the title not to confusing

Nothing more to say. Sometimes it can be that simple

@petewill Very happy to hear that you are interested! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I was very productive this weekend and i have some pictures of the new enclosure for you guys. The enclosure is made to use an Arduino Pro Mini (top right), an NRF24L01+ with adapter (top left), OLED Display (top center), PIR, center and two VL53L0X

Hey guys,

i have a question for you: Is there a interest in a DIY-kit? I could provide a whole kit with all the sensors, cables and enclosure. But before i am going to to buy stuff and so on, i ask you guys about your opinion to see if there is an interest.

My idea is to provide a kit with everything a user needs to build a RooDe. That would include the enclosure, sensors (pre soldered), cables in the correct length and screws/nuts.
I'll add a poll in the main post!

Then i calibrate my IR Sensors (Analog pins 7 and which fails because:

1
1
2
11
11
15
15
43
47
48
56
72
79
95
111
125
New threshold is: 19327

i am just calculating an average... After that the sensor does not detect movement through both sensors which results in not sending anything or i just getting a TNR.

When reading values like IRR:770
IRC:376
wihtout the included library the sensor will send a new state. This is a very strange behavior.

I am trying to get an 128x32 OLED (I2C) working with MySensors 2.2.0

When i include the lib (regardless if i'm trying the Adafruit lib, U8g2lib or the shorted lib from https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2360/temperature-humidity-node-with-oled-display/5) my sensor is not working anymore. I dont need to use the lib, including is enough.

I'm using an NRF24L01+ with an Arduino Nano and here are my includes

#define MY_DEBUG       //Comment out in production mode
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24 //use the NRF24L01+ module
#include <MySensors.h>
#include <Arduino.h>      //need to be included, cause the file is moved to a .cpp file
#include <MotionSensor.h> //MotionSensorLib
//Include and Set Up BatteryMeter Library
#include <BatteryMeter.h>
#define USE_OLED
#ifdef USE_OLED
// includes for OLED 128x32 and 128x64 support
#include <SSD1306_text.h>
//SSD1306_text oled;
