Let's make it more simple.
I will have 100 nodes in my property which I don't want to preset with static id.
I don't have a controller, only one NodeMCU with NRF24 which is the "gateway" to Wifi - I use receive on the GateWay and upload the received data from nodes to POST on local MySQL server (I have a computer at home network with MySQL).
I need to track each node and know it's ID. Was that ID assigned automatically when I use AUTO mode?

And, do you have any suggestions on how to approach this?

The most important is that I want it to be seamless with IDs, I don't want to program each node of the 100 with static ID, cause if I make changes, it adds more complexity to update the system.

I found this:
#define AUTO 255 //!< ID 255 is reserved for auto initialization of nodeId.
#define BROADCAST_ADDRESS ((uint8_t)255) //!< broadcasts are addressed to ID 255
#define DISTANCE_INVALID ((uint8_t)255) //!< invalid distance when searching for parent
#define MAX_HOPS ((uint8_t)254) //!< maximal mumber of hops for ping/pong
#define INVALID_HOPS ((uint8_t)255) //!< invalid hops
#define MAX_SUBSEQ_MSGS 5 //!< Maximum number of subsequentially processed messages in FIFO (to prevent transport deadlock if HW issue)
#define CHKUPL_INTERVAL ((uint32_t)10000) //!< Minimum time interval to re-check uplink

in MyTrasport.h

I need to limit my radio system to nodes auto id up to 100.
which var should I change in order to set this?
tnx

Re: Using NRF24 - How can I limit the max auto NodeID number?

#define BROADCAST_ADDRESS ((uint8_t)255) //!< broadcasts are addressed to ID 255
#define DISTANCE_INVALID ((uint8_t)255) //!< invalid distance when searching for parent
#define MAX_HOPS ((uint8_t)254) //!< maximal mumber of hops for ping/pong
#define INVALID_HOPS ((uint8_t)255) //!< invalid hops
#define MAX_SUBSEQ_MSGS 5 //!< Maximum number of subsequentially processed messages in FIFO (to prevent transport deadlock if HW issue)
#define CHKUPL_INTERVAL ((uint32_t)10000) //!< Minimum time interval to re-check uplink

in MyTransport.h

now which one do I change to 100, so my radio system will be limited to nodes 0-100???

Tnx but this doesn't help much.
Setting up manually 100 nodes is not good for me.
I am sure that there is somewhere in the code of configuration, a var with the max node ID, because using NRF24 is limited to 254 nodes... so I need someone who knows around the code to help me out finding how to changes this number...
tnx.

Hi,
I would like to use Auto NodeID however I would like limit the max number of node ID to be 100 so that there is no change I will have a node with an ID greater than 100.
How can this be done?
tnx

Hi. I have an analog sensor that output voltage in a range of frequencies. I would like to creat a circuit to get the range of 0.5kHz to 1.2kHz and sendout const 5V if amplitude was over 3V.
This 5V I will connect to arduino digital input and send it as a tripped msg.
Any ideas?

how changing this will effect the communication of my sensor?

Hi. It doesnt work with mysensors 2.0 compling it. Any chance to covert it to be able to compile with 2.0 version?

Hi,
I use esp8266 wifi gateway with mysensors ver 2.0. I would like it also to recieve message from a sensor node (node 12) and do somthing like blink or switch a relay.
Ive tried to implement void recieve function (like i use in a node sensor) on the gateway and wait for sender to be node 12. But the gatway ignores the recive function and does nothing.
Any ideas?
Tnx

Hi, i am using UI7 and i am newto lua.
I know c.
I would like to have an intrevaled script that will put together an info text and send it to my lcdtext sensor.

1. How do i convert flot number to string and add a text together in lua?
2. I could not find a way to update the S_INFO device on vera using luup? Can u show me how?
   Tnx
   Leeoz

Please let me know when u have somthing...
I will publish also if I'll make it work.

No,
I ment I want to use ESP8266 module to connecto to Mysensors network.
i.e. create a sensor device built from arduino+esp8266+PIR and send send motion detection to my network.
Can this happen (with ESP8266 instead of NRF24)?
tnx

Who will be the hero and publish a tutorial on the use of Nextion with arduino (UNO/Nano) and NRF24...?
I'm realy trying to make them work together but I have a poor knowledge on Hardware and software, so any one?

Tnx

Hi,
Sorry for the dumb question...
Is there a way to cancel the use of ESP8266 on the NodeMcu for Wifi use, And instead to directly use the 2.4GHz (ESP8266) to send and receive RF messages to other devices on my network (i.e. Arduino with nRF24)?
tnx

@mk55.
Hi.
I just upgraded to 2.0 last night.
So i have no idea yet. And i need to make changes to all of my sensors code now.
Please let me know if u find the answer before me.

I have no idea how to do that

Hi,
I'm trying to add RGB device to my network and I get :
GET_LANG(system_error,System error) : Device: 189. Fail to load implementation file D_RGBController1.xml

I look on LUUP File list and don't see D_RGBController1.xml.
Where can I download it and the other one?

tnx

Just for sharing.
I tried to add repeaters to my network but the sensor didn't communicate with the repeaters and only tried to send to Gateway.
I realized that Iv'e fixed parent ID on each sensor because I have a problem with find parent on my sensors (this is why i ended up adding repeaters). So Iv'e changed it back to finding parent mode and the repeater is now communicating with sensors!

FYI

@AWI
Tnx. So what capasitor would u recommand? I see differant values everywhere...

Hi.
Can any one tell me whats the actual amps needed to power the NRF24 (pcb antenna)?
In every where it's says give more power but can u say whats the amps needed?
tnx

Work fine, I have changed the lib myconfig.h file and the lua file.
Removed MySensors plugin device from devices, updated the lua file on Vera.
Reloaded engine, Plugged the arduino serialGateway back again.
and flowed insturcations of Adding SerialGateWay again.
Work fine, however I still have issues with Gateway to recognize devices and reading and sending info to devices
I guess its a matter of power to the NRF24 radio, altough I use capasitor in between the 3.3v and gnd from the Nano, I think it's not enough.

Do I need the remove the mySensors plugin device from devices or just update the lua file?

OK.
tnx. found it... now i'll try...

Hey,
I'm trying to change the baudrate in vera to 57600.

In the arduino lib files (MyConfig.h) I changed it to 57600, and uploaded the Serial Gateway to the Nano I have. Iv'e connected it to VeraEdge and went to change the baudrate on the Apps->Develop apps->Serial Port configuration
After saving, My sesndors plugin device on Vera requsting me to Change the baudrate to 115200, if I do so it doesn't communicate with the gateway (well it make sense, since it works now on 57600).

I went back to 115200 on gateway and it came back to communicate with Vera.

Any ideas?
tnx

Hey,
Yesterday I updated the arduino files on vera from GITHUB and got the "new" UI for mysensors (the one with inclusion in advanced tab)
Now I am trying to add a sensors to my vera.
My arduino device has NODE ID 151, DHT sensor temperature ID=1, humidity ID=2, light sensor ID=3.
For unknown reason the inclution only detect 1 device and shows on dashboard only Arduino Node ID 151 device (with a chip icon)
and no other device.

Any ideas?

one more thing, is there any guide/tutorial on how to use the new interface?

tnx

Re: [SOLVED] 8MHz Gateway : node not receiving any data

Hey,
I'm trying to change the baudrate in vera to 57600.

@martinhjelmare
I will try and publish resualts.
My guess, since gateway send a message to node id, and the device is waiting for a message, if the message was recieved in both devices, then both will process.
2 problems might happen.

1. If one miss the message then Vera still get ack since the second got it.
2. If u brodcast command from one, only Vera receive it, so we need to brodcast duplicate command. To vera and to it self.

....

Hey,
I was wondering, is it possible to duplicate NODE ID on two arduino devices?
Lets say I have Two arduino devices set as light switch device, on one I have switch (button) and on the other there is a relay.

I would like to send a command (let's say lights ON) from Vera and the relay will turn on and also the switch will indicate ON too.
So if I set both devices to have the same NODE ID will both of them receive the command for ON from Vera?

Hi,
Do u know about a bug of S_HEATER?
I'm sending setpoint temperature from arduino to Vera and it's not updated with the setpoint.
However if i send a setpoint to the arduino, I see the new setpoint that was sent from Vera.
Any idea?

Also if I send
gw.send(msgHeater.set("HeatOn"));
it is also not updated on Vera.

@BartE
Ok, I think I got it all. Great tnx a lot

@BartE
Tnx for the respose, great.
Also, if i would like to request value from vera?
So i use the gw.request(VeraDeviceID, V_TEMP,??)

Also for solution 2, on the request from arduino2 code,
gw.request(MYSENSOR_TEMP, V_TEMP, 12);
MYSENSOR_TEMP is what?
And why did u type 12? The sensor id is 11...

I think that in general i dont understad the use of gw.request()

Hey,
I'm using veraEdge with arduino gateway and I have a few temperature sensors on my network.
Ive search the forums and examples but could find a way to do what I want.

Let say I have arduino1 has a DHT sensor and is a S_TEMP device #11 on my network
and arduino2 has LCD and is set to be S_HVAC device #12 on my network

I would like to show on arduino2 LCD the temperature read by arduino1.
Can u please help?

L_Arduino.lua I_Arduino1.xml MyMessage.h

So I fixed it with simple fix.
After reading this:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1337/request-new-sensor-type-thermostatically-controlled-switch/2
Attached are the latest lua+xml+h files with the fix I've made.

R u guys going to update the GitHub files and publish it? or you want to give me some instructions on where to change what and test it?
Let me know if I can be any help (mybe sending you my log or somthing...)
tnx
Leeoz

Sorry, I'm new to Lua and vera stuff so I don't understand what I need to do in order to fix it, or to find the error? I know c++ and c# so I familiar with programming but this is something I never done before.
my vera version: 1.7.1320
is this UI7?

Its already set to NewCurrentSet point.
???

No, how can I access it? And I will send you all the info needed to debug.
BTW when I send the command it say "command fail" under the temperature set point field.

Hey.
Im using vera edge with latest firmware.
Arduino nano with nRF24l01 as my gateway. 1.5 API version. On the other side I have Arduino uno with DHT22 and IR led to turn on and off the AC.
Every thing works ok but sending a new set point to the UNO.
I recive the Off and ColdOn from vera and sending the room temp from the UNO to vera also works (i can see the inside temperature chnages). But when I set new temperature in Vera to be sent to the UNO, i see that the UNO recive nothing (i use the serial to monitor it).
Any known bug? Or mybe I missing somthing in my code (can u direct me to an example of using S_HVAC)?
Tnx
