Quite popular project after all..

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pokitmeter/pokit-pro/posts/2691302

btw, did anyone here back their previous project the pokit meter?
I would love to hear some comments about how the previous campaign project was handled and general information about the product quality this company produces.

Hi all, just wanted to let you know about this kickstarter project and if you find it interesting and decided to back it please do so via my referral link ;)

@sparky60 yes, 4 inputs and 4 outputs. It should be easy to modify if you need a different amount.

@sparky60
Yes it is possible to run I/O on a Ethernet Gateway without radio unit
Yes it is possible to have multiple Gateways connected to the same Vera, you just add another plugin device and use different IP for it. Remember to also use different MAC address for each GW in the sketch.

Not sure how up to date this example is because I have not updated my devices for a year or 2 but I think you get the idea.
Example 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.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,
 * Contribution by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
 * Contribution by Tomas Hozza <thozza@gmail.com>
 *
 *
 * 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 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/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

@royzone Your code is a bit incomplete because you did not include the entire line but I think that you are comparing some boolean variable to the value "HIGH" and if it is HIGH then you send the value "1" with ack (acknowledgement).

If an experienced coder see that my asumption is incorrect please correct me ;)

@flopp https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9973/mysensors-2-3-1-released

Just add LUA as a Logic Action triggered by a cyclic condition in PLEG
Using Lua just get the value from the temp sensor variable and set the variable on the thermostat:

local PipeTemp = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature", 42)
luup.variable_set("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1","CurrentTemperature",PipeTemp,44)

I have noticed that in the latest Vera firmware if a variable has no value it does not show up in the Advanced -> Variables tab.

Try writing some value manually from Apps -> Develop apps -> test loop code (here is an example):

luup.call_action("urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1", "SendCommand", {radioId="11;3", variableId="VAR_4", value=1}, 24)

24 in the example is the Id of the MySensors plugin Main device.
11;3 in the example is altid of the sensor node device.

After writing and refreshing of browser (Ctrl + F5) you should see the variables under Advanced -> Variables tab

The command should also send the value to your child node.

@gohan said in Which dust sensor do you use and why?:

@korttoma if you have a library that can read the values from the sensor, you can easily add the mysensors code

yeah I know, I just thought that if @NeverDie already made a MySensors sketch I would not have to invent the wheel again.

@NeverDie what lib are you using and how? I2C?

@neverdie

Just received an Plantower PMS5003 allso, do you have a "MySensors" sketch that you could share?

@vladimir there is an example for using rotary encoder on this page:

https://www.mysensors.org/build/dimmer

Yeah, my 6075 device is also still working fine on the 2xAA batteries I put in it a year ago.

@madelle-kamois This has been done before. For some inspiration -> https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/157/diy-blind-control-motor

I found an ESP-07 so I uploaded the ESP8266 WiFi Gateway sketch to it an tested inclusion mode in Vera (MySensors plugin version 1.5) and it seems to work just fine for me. I used esp8266 Community version 2.4.1 in Arduino IDE 1.8.5 and MySensors version 2.2.1 -alpha. I'm really out of ideas why this is not working for you.

@mntlvr I got it from GitHub but it seems like the development version is now 2.3.0-alpha, not sure what has changed since I downloaded it.

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development

@mntlvr sorry I do not have much experience with MySensors Library version 2.2. My 2 Gateways I run at home use 2.0.0 and 2.1.1. And my test GW (SensebenderGW) is running 2.2.1-alpha since there were some issue using RFM69 on the 2.2 version. Maybe you should try the development version also (2.2.1-alpha)? Unfortunately I ho not have any ESP8266 Gateways at the moment but I can see if I have one laying around so that I can test.

@nca78 I have now measured the current consumption of the small bluetooth beacon device (N51822 QFABC0) using your code and the results are encouraging.

With your code I get around 4uA sleep current compared to 800-4000uA with my old code :D

Measurements done with an Micro (nano) ampere meter (double) that has not been calibrated against a reliable meter so do not take the measured values so seriously but more as a comparison.

Device

1.8.4 of the IDE should be just fine, I'm using 1.8.5. But you need to check the AVR Boards definition you are using. 1.6.11 is know to work but newer versions are known to cause reboots in Ethernet GW and this is what seems to be happening for you.

I'm not sure I understand in what situation you get the above. Is it when you try to start inclusion from Vera?
If it is then it seems like your GW is restarting and this is something that happens with some versions of the Arduino AVR Boards definition. Please check that you are using version 1.6.11 from the IDE Boards Manager (I think this is something that I have already mentioned to you in one of your other threads but lets check again).
