No, HC2 is connecting to the MySensor Gateway. Fibaro have locked down the ability to create a socket listener and is only available if you create a plugin which has been disabled for public users to upload.
The code in HC2 is implemented as a Virtual Device that is creating an outbound tcp connection to the MySensors Ethernet Gateway.
No i think i took the one you could download from the ordinary pages. What is the differences, im pretty new in the arduino world:)
Im using an Ethernet Gateway as described here on MySensors.org with an arduino nano and W5100 ethernet module.
Will add a celcius character so it looks nicer, thanks.
Decimals solved in labels by adding "\"" before and after value
fibaro:call(nodeDevice,"setProperty", "ui.lblSensorStatus.value", "\"" .. value .. "\"")
Restriction #2 Its not possible from a MySensor/Virtual Device to register an event to be listed in the Events Panel.
But you could have some history with fibaro:debug instead or other external source if needed.

Restriction #1 You cannot add a MySensor sensor as a main source for light,temp, humidity or thermostat on a room.
This will not be added to the next coming releases but has been passed to the developeras at fibaro to be able to add Virtual Devices as default devices to room..

Now also working with temperature sensor
Seems to be some conversion issues when writing decimals to label values, it adds way to many decimals even if i try to convert it to just two decimals..
//Mathias
On of the sensor is the distance sensor that looks like Wall-e.
I havent started to test with battery yet but what i read it doesnt sound like you can power a simple sensor for so long with batteries?

Hi,
Im a little confused what is best to use when building sensors if i should use 3.3v with stepup if needed or 5v arduinos with stepdown to 3.3 for the radio?
Are there any general good guidelines on what to use?
Also if i have some sensors i want to use and there arent anything printed on them if they require 3.3v or 5v are there any way to measure that or do i need to search the web for what it needs?
//Mathias
I just got some got some basic functionality on a HC2 Controller Gateway for MySensors.
In my first attempt to make this an fully functional MySensor controller it have the following functionality:
Register new Ardino Nodes/Relays with a new free radio ID
Autocreate new virtual Device for Door Sensors
Update Icon, Status and Last Update on Door sensors when changed
Autocreate new virtual device for Light Sensors (Relay)
Update Icon, Status and Last Update on Light/Relay sensors when changed
Turn On/Off Light/relay sensor from virtual device
Some teasers on the virtual devices:
Thanks to hek for his support and time on all my questions on the MySensors API.
Next step: Order more hardware for more sensors to test with:)
//Mathias
WHOO Everything seems to be working now:)
//Mathias
I get this from my sensor:
sensor started, id 255
req node id
send: 255-255-255-0 s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,st=fail:
Does the st=fail mean that it doesnt send it or its just a part of the message sent so i can start troubleshoot the gateway?
//Mathias
That seems to work fine and i have also received some radios to build my first sensor but im stuck and im not really sure how to troubleshoot it.
I have my ethernet gateway can can connect to with myscontroller and putty to test to send commands.
And i have also built a simple door sensor but i cannot see any communication. How could i start to trouble shoot if it is the gateways radio or something with the sensor or both?
//Mathias
Hi,
I just built my first ethernetgateway on a Arduino Nano and W5100 ethernet and i have not yet got more components to build any sensors:(
Are there any way to verify that the gateways ethernet and radio is working without having a sensor?
I plugged in the ethernet cable and im able to ping the ip address configured for it, are there any other useful tests that can be done or i have to wait until i can connect a sensor to it?
