    • Sensebender Gateway leds

      Hi,

      I want to 'hide' the gateway in a 19" Rack but don't want to lose the visibility of the leds.

      Is there a way to re-route the 4/5 leds onboard to external leds?

      And, while asking, I have a ethernet module attached and would like to show ethernet traffic as well. Any suggestions as to that?

      Thanks in advance and I promise, once done I will post a picture 🙂

      Marcel

      I now have an Udoo x86 as well and I like it.

      Before I start testing myself, did you manage to get the MySensors Gateway to work?

    • Who needs parts to build a Sensebender Micro (or can solder for me)

      I have enough parts and boards lying around for about 40-50 boards (Without the Si7021).

      I have not given up on them but I really am not the guy to solder them myself.

      So, if anyone can do the job for me (at a fee), knows about a company that can do it for me or wants to buy the parts just let me know.

      As said I should have enough for about 40-50 boards (without headers)...

      Cheers,

      Marcel

      It would help if you share your error messages.
      In general I would say, read the messages and (try to) interpret them (google?).

      @Reza sai

      thank you for answer . i want found problem ! so this is related to 24-hour every day RPI is on?

      I don't think that is what I said, I wrote down how I solved it.
      Not saying that it will work for you but it could be worth the try.

    • RE: I have great problem with raspberry and domoticz and mysensors gateway !

      I had the same issue with my raspberry pi and OpenHAB.
      After a couple of weeks it would crash and ultimately corrupt my sd card.

      I solved that issue by:

      1. Reinstall Raspbian;
      2. Reinstall OpenHAB and pay very careful attention for both the application and Raspbian;
      3. Reboot the Raspberry Pi each saturday night at 12:00 (but you can use any day/time ;))

      #3 is a medicine obviously and not the cure.
      I am not even sure it is necessary but it give me confidence...

      Maybe the same procedure helps your case.

    • RE: 💬 MySensors @Eindhoven Maker Fair 2017 2-3 September

      A couple of hours after the fair and I am still impressed with the response we got.
      We all 'hey googled' the h*ll out of the fair and I just hope people remember 'MySensors' better than the dollhouse and 'hey google, scare me' 🙂
      Although... The dollhouse was the best example of what can be done with MySensors and it attracted more people to our booth than anywhere else!

      I loved meeting my fellow team members and it was great fun to meet fellow forum members but even more to educate potential new members (young and old).

      And now back to business...

    • Another Rework oven/station question

      I have been considering to buy a T962 oven for a while now.
      They don't cost too much anymore, can be bought 'locally' and after hacking it they seem to be fairly good.

      Today I saw the T862++ station that seems to a bit more versatile.

      What do you think: Is the T862 a real alternative to the T962 or are they more complimentary?
      Would be a sensible choice or should I stay away from it?

      Or should I stay away from both?

      Apart from my own boards I will also be doing a couple of Sensebender Micro's soon and I am a little bit afraid of the size of the SMD components (or better said the lack of size :))...

    • RE: Sensor IDs, best practices?

      @napo7 said in Sensor IDs, best practices?:

      This way, I can keep AUTO ID feature, the controller always give me new ID when needed, and I can easily replace a failing node with the same board, just changing his ID after uploading his firmware !

      But when your controller/plugin/binding 'remembers' the id's it assigned you will end up with id's assigned without a sensor attached.

      I am thinking of expanding the Sensebender Micro and learn Kicad in the process.

      Unfortunately every attempt to convert from Eagle to Kicad failed.

      Is there a Kicad version available or did any of you manage to convert the project?

    • RE: API, Documentation and examples

      @hek Hi Henrik, that is exactly why I ask.

      When I take the RelayActuator for example I see that the setup/initialise stuff is happening in the before method.

      Or did I find an exception (I have not checked all sketches)?

    • API, Documentation and examples

      While moving my sketches from 1.5 to 2.2 I noticed that most examples do not really follow the same logic.

      I sometimes have a hard time to understand how and why things are done, not only because of the above but also because there seems to be no agreement on conventions.

      I understand why this is but for people with less programmer experience than I have (and mine is 'only' Java, Python, Xojo, SQL etc but not C++) it must be hard to interpret all examples.

      On question I have at the moment is the following:

      I see that there a some methods I can use:

      // Before radio initialization
      void preHwInit();
      
      // Before node initialization
      void before();
      
      // While node initialization
      void presentation();
      
      // Setup?
      void setup();
      
      // Running
      void loop();
      
      // Receive messages
      void receive( const MyMessage &message );
      

      What I would like to understand is the difference between presentation and setup because both are used.

      @Corvl Hi, I did not have many sensors until now but I am ready to add stuff ( I finally have some time again 🙂 ).
      Because of that I decided to re-evaluate my sensors and to upgrade in the process.

      You probably guessed it but this is what I would do.

      If you are not planning to add (many) sensors and everything works well I would stay with 1.5.

      If either or both of the above conditions == false I would move to 2.2.1 (current version).

    • RE: openHAB 2.0 binding

      @azuntik You should know what you are creating 😉

      In PaperUI you first create a thing for the gateway (I assume that worked for you).
      Next OpenHAB should find all attached things for you, no need to create them manually. Just confirm what OpenHAB found.
      Based on available properties you create an Item.

      @TimO A restart does not change things.

      Maybe it is a phantom link, as mentioned by you, because I did delete the first thing and item I created.

    • RE: Sensor and Children

      @TimO Hmm, why hardcode?

      I give the sensor a name and version (which is not yet used by the binding if I am correct).
      I define the children which have ids and types.
      So, the binding can recognise the parent (name, version) and the child (id, type).

      I am not yet familiar with the internals of OpenHAB and a binding (maybe I should learn that first 🙂 ) but I assume (or should I say hope) that you can 'glue' them together on the fly...

    • RE: Sensor and Children

      @TimO The zwave binding sees a multi sensor (temp, humid, lux, movement) as one thing. This makes that they show up as one thing in paper ui as well. Makes management a lot easier (although I must admit that the amount of items is much much more).

    • RE: openHAB 2

      @TimO Maybe not completely.

      I have OpenHAB 2 installed on a Raspberry Pi 3.

      I am using a Raspberry Pi Ethernet Gateway.
      At first connected on the controller Raspberry but that seems to be unreliable.
      Will debug that later.
      I am now using a Pi B and that works.

      While moving to MySensors 2.1.1 and debugging my sensors I am using the Gateway in debug mode (manual start).

      Yesterday I closed the Gateway down, started it up again this morning but the OpenHab/the binding did not see the Gateway until I restarted OpenHAB.

      That is not really nice because I need to know that, if one or more components go down and up again, everything will be working again.

      Any idea how this can happen or what to do about it?

      Funny but how do I solve this.
      It can't be an issue with the firewall because it allows all traffic on the internal network.

    • RE: openHAB 2

      The openHAB user has rights for tty and dialout so that should be ok.

      I had connection errors with the ethernet gateway as well but that was before I changed the user rights so that could have caused that.

      The binding caused a couple of crashes so I need to fix that first but I will let you know how things go.

    • openHAB 2

      I have not touched my Domotica stuff for a (too) long time but a couple of weeks ago I decided to move from Indigo to openHAB.

      Platform (for now) is the Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian.

      I am pretty happy with how things proceed (one step at a time).

      I started with my z-wave sensors and I now want to restart my MySensors project.

      I added one of my NRF24+ components to the raspi and followed the instructions to call the gateway application.

      The application is running without errors (see below for the config file I used).

      Next step was adding the gateway to openHAB (a Thing) using the port '/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway'.

      The port is there, checked it, and I have none of the leds blinking.

      I downloaded the latest binding from GitHub and use the latest nightly build of openHAB (updated this morning).

      In the below log entries you see that the Thing keeps retrying and throws an error while rebooting the system.

      This is proof that the port really shows (although in another colour but I assume that this has to do with the fact that it is a symbolic link).

      Any idea what is going on?

      Alternatively I could use another Raspberry to serve as an ethernet gateway next to serving as a backup server but the current setup is more appealing to me...

    • RE: Best IDE to use for MySensors projects

      I've (very) recently moved from Eclipse to IntelliJ for my Java and PyCharm for my Python development.
      I am really happy and have a subscription for the whole IDE ecosystem from JetBrains.

      With that comes CLion which also has an Arduino Plugin.
      I have not tried using it yet but it looks good.
      And CLion also works with PlatformIO (http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/clion.html)

    • RE: How does MySensors work?
      1. Depends on the controller
      2. When no data is received the sensor is too far away
      3. You can build your own controller, you are the best to judge if that is the way you want to go
      4. Text or encrypted text
      5. Probably when you use the Raspberry otherwise no.

      All this stuff is discussed on the forum and on the main website so imho it is best to invest some time to read and look around.

    • RE: Gateway with LCD

      @BulldogLowell I can't comment on the FlashForge. I am a true beginner without any knowledge other than my own experience with the FABtotum. If I were you I would work my way through these pages: https://www.3dhubs.com/best-3d-printer-guide...

      About my Factotums: The first one I bought was from a disappointed user without much patience. I was really lucky since it cost me 150 Euro incl. shipment.
      The second one was the one I pre-ordered.

      The reason I have them is because they can do 3D printing, 2.5/3D Milling and 3D scanning. The quality of the print is ok but I don't have the knowledge (and/or patience) yet to improve. I am about to take my first steps into Milling now that my 2nd printer is there (pcb's yeah). Scanning does not work much yet and should become better over time.

      The FAB is a really new product from a really new company. They do their best, the printer is of decent quality but I am also sure that a v2.0 will be much better.
      Having said that: I am truly happy and the first printer already did about two hundred hours of printing over a couple of weekends.
      And for this money there is no comparable machine yet 🙂

    • RE: Multiple gateways on one controller. Is it possible?

      I think (not sure though) there are 2 things to consider:

      1. It depends on the controller and/or how the plugin was created.
      2. The 2 gateways should really be located so sensors really can only 'talk' to one gateway.

      Concerning 1. I created the Indigo plugin. Indigo does not support having more than one instance of the same plugin. That means that the plugin should support having more than one gateway. Currently it does not have that support but there are no technical reasons why it could not be done (although it would involve a lot of extra work).

      I have seen that the Sensebender makes use of the ATSHA204A.

      Because I like the idea of using that chip I searched for a source for these puppies.

      Unfortunately they are either very expensive or I have to order a lot (too many).

      Obviously I checked out AliExpress but when you look at the description I would be surprised if many of them are original or even a good product.

      Can anyone think (or know) of the best source for these and/or do I have to accept that they are expensive?

      I am creating my final cases for the Gateway and a few Repeaters.

      Instead of leds to show what is happening I would like to use an lcd.

      I was thinking of 'replacing' the three status leds from the sample sketch with symbols on the lcd. But the minimum would be to show when it is operational and show when there is an error.

      I know how to deal with the hardware side of things.
      What I need is a couple of pointers/suggestions what I would need to do to intercept status messages and relay them to the display.

    • RE: Minimal design thoughts

      This NRF24 module and even cheaper ones (also mini 10 pcs 6 USD) could be an addition/alternative for minimal radio design.

    • RE: Sourcing electronic components (SMD) from Ebay/AliExpress

      From my own experience you can get good stuff from AliExpress but beware.
      When you look closely on how for instance make and model are described you will find out that the real cheap ones don't mention a make or the model is 'custom' (or whatever they make of it).
      That is the point were I skip the seller.

      I have seen this quite a lot with the ATmega...

    • RE: Strange behaviour - Check Wires and Version Mismatch

      @hek Even stranger, the sensor did register itself with a repeater (parent id = 1) but that was it.

      What procedure do you suggest to find out what is really going on?

    • RE: Custom board with ATmega328 and crystal (or not)

      @royaraya16 said:

      In my opinion there's no need to use the crystal, you can use de 8MHz internal clock.

      I have not yet read the article by why is it then that all Arduino boards (that I know of) make use of a crystal?

    • RE: How does a sensor 'deal' with another repeater

      @Yveaux OK, I think that this is not how it goes.

      I moved a sensor from repeater 1 to repeater 2 without seeing it show up anymore.
      After removing the parent and the distance values from the eprom (what does the distance vaue say btw) the sensor showed up again using the new repeater.
