@ncollins okay, give it a try.

@TheoL way to expensive.

@ncollins If this board is suitable for battery use? I don't see how much current it uses.

@TheoL I meant the board of @echi here as I need battery power board and this seems to be working well.

@echi Where could you order this board?

Is there a way to order this board somewhere else. I have ordered now 3 times 2 boards. 2 times 1 board broken and it is very hard to communicate with them and almost never reply.

Hi,

I have moved my gateway from raspberry 3B to 4. But I have problems with receiving/transmitting. It is very unstable, sometimes it works sometimes not.

What I have done so far:

• made sure that the power on the RP. So I have ordered original RP power supply with 5V/3A
• took voltage from the NRF24 from 5 volts instead 3.3 and included a regulator MP1703 to go to 3.3 volts again
• check the wiring and connections
• the NRF has already cap of 4.7 uF on the plus/min
• I have used the 2.4.0-alpha version and recompiled the gateway with #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL (RF24_PA_MAX) (I also tried the other options)

So, anyone else is using RP 4 and maybe can give me some tips? The RP is connected to an SSD drive and use Zigbee and ZWave adapters (on extension cord)

Hopefully, someone can help me because I am frustrated

@electrik Thanks. That will do I think. Now hopefully this will work

Hi,

I have an existing mysensors network with many nodes. I would like to work with hassio (beginner). I have added mysensors and with the mqtt gateway. However, I see that the nodes need un update because of a special way sending the S_TYPE and V_TYPE. This would require a lot of work.

Is there not a different way? Can I not specify all the nodes into the persistent file? Does someone have an example of this file?

I do get now an error for example that node 17 is not recognized.

Thanks and keep safe for the Coronavirus

@bjacobse This one seems to work like this. A bit expensive.. http://rainsensors.com/how-it-works/

@bjacobse I have been looking to something like this but did not find it. I would be indeed a lot better.

Is there not some kind of spray to protect the board?

@technovation I tried this but it didn't work very reliable.

@fotofieber I have no idear.

Hi,

I have a rain sensor like this:

How can I protect this as I am currently every 6-8 weeks need to replace it

Thanks for suggestions!

Hi,

I have a gateway on PI with the latest mysensors (2.3.1). Know I have a MYSBootloader for my slim node board (8 Mhz) which works fine on OTA but serial doesn't. When I try to download the latest one: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24/blob/development/hex/MYSBootloader_8MHz.hex
then Serial works fine but OTA does not work?? My gateway uses MQTT and with the first one, you will see a nice publish of the node. Something like mysensors-out/5/255/4/0/0 010001009005272A0103 but with the latest this is not available and I cannot upload my code using mycontroller.org.

So I assume the latest bootloader is not working on my 8Mhz board. Does anyone have a working version? Serial and OTA which I can try?

Or other suggestions?

Thanks!

Could you check here? I am really getting frustrated by the OpenHAB

https://forum.mysensors.org/post/95623

I spend again a few hours. I really want to get it to work with MQTT as I have my complete system based on it. But Apparently, the binding does not work and also the log does not say much. Only those errors:

No MQTT Support?

@fredswed Hi, I really like MQTT so that is my prefered method. But I can try first on ethernet and then step back. I will try in the weekend since I am now a week away I used the latest version of the binding and also for MQTT.

Hi All,

I am very new to openHAB and I have a lot of problems installing/configuring openHAB 2.3 so that mysensors are working. Does anyone have a guidline how to install this?

It seems that MQTT connect well but I got an error which I do not understand. I am already busy with it for days but I do not get it working. Unfortunatly I am not able to find openHAB 2.2 img so that I can install this on my PI.

Anyone willing to help me?

Error:

2018-12-07 20:23:01.046 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'mysensors:bridge-mqtt:gateway' changed from INITIALIZING to UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR): org/eclipse/smarthome/io/transport/mqtt/MqttActionCallback

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/smarthome/io/transport/mqtt/MqttActionCallback```

I am very new to openHAB but I am really getting crazy with it. I did exactly what was on top of the screen. But I get an error the MYSensors MQTT Gateway was initializing.. and never came out. So I continue too read and I switch to the binding v 2.4.0. But wathever I do I get an error:

mysensors:bridge-mqtt:gateway' changed from INITIALIZING to UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR): org/eclipse/smarthome/io/transport/mqtt/MqttActionCallback

I am not sure where to look and what to change. This is in my demo.things file.

Bridge mysensors:bridge-mqtt:gateway [ brokerName="mosquitto", topicPublish="mygateway1-in", topicSubscribe="mygatewa$
        temperature             temp01  [ nodeId=5, childId=0 ]
}

org.eclipse.smarthome.mqttbroker.cfg:

name=mosquitto
host=192.168.10.4 <- This points to the MySensors gateway PI (different then the openHAB)
secure=false
port=1883
retain=false

Any idears what I can try?

Ok, Thanks. Will do!

Solved. Deleted the /etc/mysensor.conf file and started sudo ./bin/mysgw again. This fixed the problem.

Hi,

I have configured the gateway software on the raspberry like:

./configure --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mygateway1-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mygateway1-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1

then

make
sudo ./bin/mysgw

which give:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ ./bin/mysgw

I have a brand new Raspberry. I have updated everything to the last versions

Is this a MQTT problem? It is running and seems oke

@mfalkvidd thanks!! I have looked three times , i guess too tired.

Hi,

I have build the Raspberry PI 3 b+ gateway project as here https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry
unfortunately the radio won't work. I have checked the wires multiple times but I think I did look to often

I used:

./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.10.5

then

make

@mfalkvidd Thanks. I have cleared the eeprom with this and after that install the sketch again. Still DHCP.
This is the sketch:

 * 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.

 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,

 * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
 * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch, only the LEDs that is defined is used.
 * - 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/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.

 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!

I am using MySensors 2.2.0 and Arduino 1.8.5 and download the latest boards from:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

I am not sure what I am missing, maybe it is a simple thing in the sketch, if I comment out the #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 then it works???

@electrik Hi, Yes. I think so. I have create an empty sketch and upload this to the board and after that my original code. But without any improvement.

I have the same problem. I am not able to fix it. It seems that the order of Config and Begin are correct?!? I am also not sure why this changed if are remove the define for the radio. I am using the ethernet gateway.

Great work!

@gohan Disabled my Firewall and Virusscanner and now it seems to work

@gohan Ethernet.

@gohan the problem is that MySContoller does not work. Cannot connect to Gateway. The flash seems succesfull. So I am trying to use MyController.

@gohan Well that's what I do not like. Is there any documentation arround how to start with MYSysController firmware for the first time?

@electrik Acoording the documentation looks like your right.

@gohan Mmh, That I am not using so that might me the case.

@sundberg84 But I have a sleep. So when it is coming awake after a sleep period. It start sending sensor information to the gateway, if this will fail. Does it retry until succeed? Do you have an example sketch with a good example that will not fail if gateway unavailable?

mmh, Most nodes sleep for 10 minutes. Do you think it will retry after this sleep periode for a few times?

Hi,

I had to work on my gateway, software update etc. (took 4 hours, had some issues) and after connecting no sensors connected. After long search I found out that all my batteries where empty from all my nodes? Could that be caused that the gateway was not available?

Hi,

I hope someone can help me to start with FOTA. I have read this page: https://www.mysensors.org/about/fota#the-fota-bootloader. But still I am still not sure how to start.

1. Does a gateway needs to have special firmware?
2. If you flash a 328p with MYSysController firmware for the first time and there is no sketch loaded, how do you get the skets loaded as the node won't advertise itselfs to the gateway??

I know how to flash a 328p but I am not sure how to get the sketch on it the first time and MYSYSController does not work with my gateway so I am now trying MyController.

Can someone put my into the right direction?

Thanks for helping out..

Thanks

Hi All,

This Topic is a little old but hopefully still active. I am using the battery Duracell CR123 because it is small and fits in my case. Would this be an ok choice or does someone has other recommendations?

Thanks for feedback.

Marcel

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I will start buying some bowls Thanks

Found this one to but the shipping costs to the netherlands are extreem high

@dbemowsk said in Case for mini weather station:

It is actually called a radiation shield. Too bad you don't have a 3D printer. I did a design for one that I have posted on thingiverse.

Waauw, this looks really great!

@gohan Ok, Thanks I will. The problem I cannot place it on the North Side.

Hi,

I am searching for a case for my mini weather station, I am measuring temperature, light, humidity, pressure. But my current case with holes in it has not enough air flow and therefor the temperature is to high when the sun is shining. Also the light is not actual correct. Does anybody can recommend a case? I do not have a 3d printer unfortunately.

Thanks for helping.

I have copy the file over the existing files and then I get this error with burning:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.avrdude.path}/bin/avrdude": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.2

Have solved the issue. Removed the cap from the board and directly soldered to the Radio Board. That's was solving the issue.

Found one issue. On the PCB board the was a very small broken wire. I think the postman was not very careful with it. At least I have some better logging but still not there.

How can I solve this one?

@sundberg84
Ok, Thanks I will try the second suggestion. (my booster is still not delivered and hard to get at the moment :()

This is the front part. The connected cable goes to the FTD232 which also is currently the power supply.

!

The red wire on the back plane connects the plus from arduino to the plus for the radio (soldered on the + of cap)

Try to zoom in.

Yesterday I have received Rev 9 of Newbie PCB board. I am a newbie and I purchased this board to make building easier. I have soldered a radio and Arduino Pro Mini 3.3 V to it and the radio module with a 47uF cap. The power is supplied using the FTD232 board. Because the radio module is not powered using the 3.3V of arduino I wired this using a separate wire. I also connected a DTH 11 with the resistor on the board (4K7). I used a test sketch to read the DTH 11 and this is working well.

When I load the MySensors sketch I get a radio failure. I have no Idea what this is? Bad wiring, not correct power?? Anyone can help me started?

Hi @Nca78,

Thank you for your clear explanation. I will order some boards of Easy PCB and I hope your boards will arrive soon and then I will order those as well. This sound very nice.

OK. But I don't see how this would help? I still need to connect by wiring my Arduino? Or can I directly solder it to it?

@gohan said:

There are voltage regulators based on ams1117 for nrf24l01 available on gearbest, I bought a couple of them and they work. They are probably not the most compact solution, but for less than 2$ each they are quite handy. BTW, how much range did you get from your nodes?

I am not sure what you mean? I am searching for a board.

@gohan said:

ams1117

Thank,s, I think they are just to large to fit in my boxes (I have already 10 boxes). The room is 5 x 9 cm and with the battery holder I am afraid it won't fit. I see that the board is 5 x 5 cm but the radio module is beyond that.

Hi,

I need to create around 6 nodes (Arduino Pro Mini + nRF24L01) but I would like to make this as small as possible and I am tired to solder all the wires from Arduino Pro Mini ro the nrf24L01 board (with all the mistakes).

So I read something about the jmodule.
https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/jmodule

How do you get such a board? How does this work, I have no experience with this files and I really don't know how to start? Is there a site where you could order those board with uploading the files?

Or are there better alternatives?

I hope someone can help me to get me started...

Thanks in advance.

@bjacobse

Thanks!! Yes this was the trick! Wrong Speed!

Happy New Year!!

Yes, I have the 4k7 resister from VCC to data pin. The voltage is 3.3.

Hi,

I tried for 2 days now to build this project https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp. Unfortunatly I am not able to get this temperature read out with a Arduino Pro Mini. When I use a Nano it works. !?!

What could be wrong here? I tried 2 different Arduino Pro Mini boards but both don't work.

What could be different between the Arduino Pro Mini and Nano?

@mfalkvidd

Thanks! Some study to do

@tekka

That was indeed the trick This is really awesome.

Final question. The Node register know with the GW if I am correct. And when I change a port how fast is this send to the gateway?

I would like to connect a doorbell and use an interrupt when someone is pressing on the doorbell.

My Sensor code:

/**
   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.

I already have this in my code. This is the code for my Node:

#define CLOSE 0


// Enable and select radio type attached

and it still gives this message? Can this be an error in the Gateway?

Hi,

I am a starter. I build my gateway and this seems to work! No error messages and when I attach a local sensor and I can see this information on the controller (Homey). But when I create a sensor device I get and error in the logging which I do not understand. I spend the whole day but I cannot find the issue. Tried different nrf24l01 radio modules but no change.

See logging below. What could be wrong?

Hi,

Unfortunately my client sensor is not connecting to the gateway (at leas I guess). I have both debuging enabled but I am not sure what to expect and if the failure is in the gateway or client. Gateway output:

The client gives an error. But is this because the client has a failure or the gateway. How can I check and what do I need to expect.

Does the client send a few times a broadcast?? but this fail for some reason?

Would be glad with all the help

Br,

@mfalkvidd, when you download the library 2.0 and you extract this. There is a folder documentation which is almost empty. But in the meantime I found also a link api on the download location with more info.

The sketch did work! Great! Based on this example I can going forward.

Thanks! I will try this!

By the way the documentation in the zip file is more or less empty?

Hi,

Ok. Thanks for all your help. I need to solder the pins first before I can attach my sensor. A dummy would be indeed helpful. But I will attach the sensor tomorrow after I have solder the header pins.

Hi,

That seems to work :). Would it be possible to simulate a sensor? (To start easy :)) Ooh, and could you also tell me where I can find the documentation of the MySensors library (which function I can use)?

Hi @mfalkvidd,

Thank you. I have installed the software, can connect to internet. But in the output of serial window I see:

0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;!TSM:RADIO:FAIL
0;255;3;0;9;!TSM:FAILURE
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:PDT

I can also not access http://<ip>:5003 (not sure if this is possible).

So, without additional code I can try to add it to homey (my controller)?

HI,

I am brand-new to this forum and sorry if I ask stupid questions. I have a Wemos D1 mini without radio. I would like show the sensor data (DS 18B20) on a website served by the Wemos. Or connect it with Homey (mysensors app).

Would that be possible? When I use the code and I would like to comment out the radio part, it won't compile. Is this not possible or do I need to do something else?

Does somebody has maybe an example?

Thanks,

Marcel
