    • RE: NRF serial to usb for gateway?

      @Dreded thanks for the link. i wish it had a spot for an external antenna but i suppose it would be good enough to get it out of the way.

    • RE: NRF serial to usb for gateway?

      @mfalkvidd @Nca78 I already have the Rpi 3 as a gateway, I also have a serial gateway (arduino) not in use.
      my goal is/was to combine tasks. i have several intel nuc type PC's that have free resources. so i wanted to eliminate the uni-tasker and move it onto an existing pc.
      at $9 cost is not a factor.
      is the gateway code ARM only? or would it compile on x86?
      if it's going to be a huge under taking, i won't mess with it. i have to many other projects at the moment.
      i just didn't know if it would be an easy conversion.

    • NRF serial to usb for gateway?

      currently i'm using an RPI3 for mysensor gateway, i would like to move the gateway off the pi and to a small linux pc that i have. but it has no gpio ports for the NRF module.
      does anyone know if i could use something like this instead?

    • RE: sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard

      @peerv in my situation, if i click on any of my child devices, like temp, lux, humidity, etc. i can see the battery level. so i have to create a new sensor, in this case i'm creating computer_room_15_0, and i pull the value from child 1, i could pull it from 2,3 or 4, but i chose 1. and the value that i'm pulling is an attribute of child 1 called battery_level
      now that i have created that sensor. i can place it where ever i want.
      so the newly created sensor computer_room_15_0 is my entity_id that can go in a card or whatever.
      before you do that, i would trouble shoot in the following way.

      1. pick a child device and open it, ensure you can see the battery level.
      2. create a new sensor based on the template above (restart after)
      3. go into the the states dev tool page and ensure it's there and has the correct value.
      4. if yes, then open the standard states based screen see if it shows up at the top in the circle.
      5. if yes, put that entity in your lovelace ui as you see fit, if no, go back and figure out where it's not working.
        you can also tail the log file and you restart and look for any error messages that may offer a clue to why.
        here is my states screen for the battery sensor.

      @peerv said in sendBatteryLevel not showing up in HA dasboard:

      @mfalkvidd
      Thanks, yes your solution could work. Also a voltage divider with a seperate child-id could work.

      But my point is that the Arduino battery_level value is already available in the mysensors.json in Home Assistant.

      "type": 17,
              "sketch_name": "N60Breed",
              "sketch_version": "1.0",
              "battery_level": 91,
              "protocol_version": "2.3.1",
              "heartbeat": 0
      

      I just don't know how to get the battery_level value presented in the HA UI.

      you have to use a template.
      under the sensors section

      • platform: template
        sensors:
        computer_room_15_0:
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        entity_id: sensor.computer_room_15_1
        icon_template: mdi:battery
        value_template: >-
        {%- if states.sensor.computer_room_15_1 != None -%}
        {{states.sensor.computer_room_15_1.attributes.battery_level}}
        {%- else -%}
        0
        {%- endif -%}

    • queuing and sending messages

      I have several battery powered nodes. I want to be able to issue commands (reboot, firmware update, etc) and when they wake up to transmit via motion or timed sending of data. they receive and execute whatever command i have sent. so far i can't get this to work. if i send a reboot command from the controller during the OTA wait period. the node receives the request and reboots.. if the OTA period is over, then the node never follows the command. even after waking up. it still never executes said command.
      so it seems the gateway is not queuing up the command or it's not sending when the node wakes up.

      what is the correct approach to implement this and how can i troubleshoot if the GW is receiving, queuing and sending commands for a sleeping node?
      running lib 2.2.0
      and the gw is 2.2.0 on a RPI3

      Thanks!

      @tbowmo said in 💬 Sensebender Micro:

      @mvader

      Is it the default dualoptiboot bootloader? Then the bootloader itself does not support OTA FW. You need to put a sketch on it, that supports OTA. (Default sensebender micro sketches doesn't)

      yes it's the default bootloader. yes i have OTA added to the sketch. it works if i reset the device via manual reset. but what i'd like to do is send the reboot command from myscontroller. but it seems to do nothing ever. does the bootloader support reboot? or is that something i also have to add to the sketch?

      situation: i have about 15 sensors all over the house. if i update, i'd like to be able to assign the firmware, and then issue the reboot command. so upon reboot, they take the assigned firmware. what i don't want to do is have to go to each one and manually press the reset button to get it to take the firmware. i'm sure it's healthier to run up and down 3 flights of stairs. but i'm lazy 🙂

      1st patch is still working good for me. have had no issues since applying it.

      question. is it normal/correct for the gateway to ping or spam? every 10 seconds i see the gateway announce it's version.
      its not doing the full restart or anything.. just giving the 2.2.0 every 10 seconds.

    • RE: constant PIR false alerts

      @TheoL glad to hear it's not just me having problems 🙂 (better in numbers i guess)
      how are you powering this? are you using the 3v method or the default 5?
      I was afraid since i'm using the 3v that was the problem. but i have 8 (9 now) that work perfectly with 3v method
      i have them on sensbender boards with temp, humidity, PIR and LDR
      my "test" node has been powered for months without issue on AA
      it seems to be luck the draw with these.
      i had several of them, work fine if the time out pot was turned to 0, but then you have constant trip and resets. not what i want.
      the odd thing was, if you adjust even slightly higher for a longer timeout, the PIR would not respond at all.

      and then as i mentioned the other type, where it trip's with in a few seconds after being un-tripped.
      watching myscontroller, i have 2 others doing this, and 8 new PIR's left.. i'm just going to hope i have 2 good working ones out of the 8 i have left..
      the good news is they are not expensive.. so if i have to buy another 10 to get 2 good i will. they seem to be great once you get them going.

    • RE: constant PIR false alerts

      And the winner appears to be flaky sensor.
      I replaced for a 3rd time and it seems to be working correctly now.

      for me these PIR's fall in to 1 of 3 categories.

      1. works correctly
      2. only works when time out is turned all the way down to 0 (so it constantly sets and resets, any amount higher and it doesn't trip at all)
      3. hardware timeout works, but sensor trips right after it's un-set

      I guess i'm glad i bought these in bulk.. i will replace the other 3 or 4 that are not working as they should.

      I put new batteries in and that didn't help.
      I do have at least 8 others working fine on AA some that have been in service for 6-8 months on the same set and are fine.
      so i'm not sure it's a voltage thing, unless this specific PIR was overly sensitive.
      looks like it happens 5 seconds after it's reset, it trips again.
      I already replace this PIR once, i'm going to try a 2nd time and see if it's just a flaky PIR

      I am using the 3v alternative hook up method.
      several of my sensors constantly TRIP even when no motion. even if i put them in a dark room and close the door.
      they trip and after the hardware timeout, they reset and then trip again.
      i have probably 8 or 9 that work fine. and then 4 or 5 that do this constant tripping.
      is this just a result of cheap ebay hardware. or is there something else i'm missing?

      I would like to do the same on my side... But I don't know too much about radio protocols.

      Thanks!

      Yes, i have my gateway in the basement. and then i built a mysensors 433mhz repeater (arduino + NRF radio + 433 transmitter / mysensors) this one is USB powered, stays on full time, it is on the 1st floor.. I control about 7 of the etek city outlets with it. I have to say though, most of my outlets are on the 2nd floor (which is why i put the transmitter on the 1st floor and not in the basement) even with an 433 external antenna, they fail to respond 10-15% of the time, with my z wave devices, they never fail to turn on/off no matter where they are, and with my sensors devices, i can always see/talk no matter where they are..
      based on that, if i had to do it again, i would either zwave those or mysensor those devices (which i will probably move to down the road).
      during the holidays, i controlled another 5-7 etek outlets on the 1st floor, to control holiday lights, tree lights.. etc. all of those were on the 1st floor and generally worked fine.

      What baudrate are you using? It seems like it's to much off, for the ftdi to decode it correctly. Have you tried to lower it to, let's say 9600 baud? And does it still do this?

      Serial.begin(115200);
      I have not tried 9600, but i've done 5 today all the same code.. no problems.
      i have 4 others deployed from when i first bought these (when they came out) same code for them as well..
      could be a bum board..idk. when i fired it up, i could see it in the controller software though. so it does seem to work. it just gives me that in the serial monitor.. strange for sure 🙂 I'll let you know how 9600 works out.

    • RE: MYSBootloader 1.4 testing

      @tekka I was able to get a nano setup with radio and sketch.
      make sure it works (saw it on the controller)
      i then burned the new bootloader and re-uploaded the sketch.
      that worked.
      i was able to then also see it back in the controller.
      however i was not able to upload an OTA
      every time i reboot the device it goes into an infinite loop.
      only way to stop it is to pull the power.
      but if you don't reboot, just let it power up, it works fine.
      only upon a reboot, or a re-id does it go into this loop.
      however, it did this before. so i don't think it's related to the new bootloader
      but until i can resolve that, i don't know that i can send OTA's (but i'm close)
      it did work in the past. it seems it worked in 1.4 libs, but when i moved everything over, it started.
      but still strange, i know i've done OTA with 1.5 lib.
      hard to say.
      have a look at the logs see what you think.

      hook up a blue and it works.
      anyone know what gives with the yellow?

      I did note this in the yellow description. but not sure if that was what my issue is.

      BUONO NANO used C8051F321 as the USB to RS-232 bridge, the FW and driver is same as the USB2SERIAL LIGHT, so after you connect the NANO to USB , you will see “Arduino USB2SERIAL LIGHT” show on the PC.
      The LITE version canceled USB2SERIAL part, to reduce price, some time (like wireless data collection) do not need USB2SERIAL bridge, it’s designed for those application.
      Also BUONO UNO LITE and NANO LITE are good to working with INHAOS RF UART module LC-1000R(321283689088) and LC-1000RU(321283700876).

After 30 wakeup-and-read without a transmit, force a transmit. If you change your FORCE_TRANSMIT_INTERVAL to 2, it will transmit every 30 minutes if the readings do not change more than 0.5.

      @mvader If your interval between readings is 15 minutes and the force transmit interval is 30, your actual interval is 15minutes * 30 = 7.5hours. Also, see this thread for sleep time accuracy. 15 minutes of sleep can last 16-17 minutes...

      really.. hmm
      so if you look at the default comment
      when MEASURE_INTERVAL is 60000 and FORCE_TRANSMIT_INTERVAL is 30, we force a transmission every 30 minutes.
      That says measure for temp/hum every 1 minute - send if greater than .5 (defined later in the sketch)
      regardless of what goes on send stats every 30 minutes

      can you help me understand why those 2 number would be multiplied together? one shouldn't have anything to do with the other.

      I'm having trouble with the transmission times.

      // How many milli seconds between each measurement 900000 is 15 minutes
      #define MEASURE_INTERVAL 900000
      
      // How many milli seconds should we wait for OTA? 3000 is 3 seconds
      #define OTA_WAIT_PERIOD 3000
      
      // FORCE_TRANSMIT_INTERVAL, this number of times of wakeup, the sensor is forced to report all values to the controller
      #define FORCE_TRANSMIT_INTERVAL 30 
      
      // When MEASURE_INTERVAL is 60000 and FORCE_TRANSMIT_INTERVAL is 30, we force a transmission every 30 minutes.
      // Between the forced transmissions a tranmission will only occur if the measured value differs from the previous measurement
      

      I would expect a wake up and measure every 15 minutes. transmit if greater than .5 and go back to sleep
      also i would expect a forced transmission every 30 minutes.
      but that doesn't seem to be happening.
      here are my last few transmit times

      I don't see a static 30 minute transmit.

      You have to set timezone with the help of raspi-config https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-2-first-time-configuration/changing-timezone

      I believe your rpi still with UTC. If you run date command from your raspberry PI what is the output?

      i must have had a browser cache issue or something, the next day i came back and it said EDT. so it appears my system clock was indeed set to UTC.

      One comment on something you said above.

      " I hope if we give it as configurable option may leads confusion."

      I think that given the audience here, there isn't much that would confuse people.
      If you were dealing with people who didn't know anything about electronics, or computers, maybe, but to be honest i can't see how it would confuse anyone, much less anyone here..
      just my thoughts..

      now to circle around to the firmware issue.
      the nodes that use dual-optiboot, are mostly the sensebender micro boards.
      these are typically battery powered devices that sleep most of the time.
      with the library 1.5, you have an OTA enabled setting and when the device boots, it listens for a defined amount of time for an OTA upgrade signal.
      I've tested this with MYScontroller and it works.
      when i reboot the device, the firmware upgrade takes off.

      I rebooted the device manually and nothing was sent, so it seems like something may still not be working correctly.
      with your implementation.

      for the firmware upload
      i see this in the logs
      [ST_FIRMWARE_CONFIG_RESPONSE], [NodeId:3, SensorId:255, PayLoad: 01000200A8066891]
      but nothing further..
      i'm not sure how to tell if it's working or not.
      other than to wait?
      should i continue to refresh logs and look for payload/packet updates?

      @jkandasa nice release. this is working well.
      for others who run into this.
      i couldn't get mine to start. i looked at the logs and read that i should stop - rm db file - start
      and that worked.

    • RE: Sensebender Micro not work

      things to check / do

      1. verify radio is good
      2. verify radio is connected correctly
      3. if header soldered in, verify nothing is touching / solder work is clean/good
      4. upgrade to arduino 1.6.5
      5. verify mysensors is library v1.5
      6. if you set up a gateway recently, verify you turned softspi back off and didn't leave it on.

      your issue likely lies in one of those areas.

      sorry if this has been asked before.
      but I have a nano with mySbootloader installed and when i look at it in the serial monitor its just all gibberish.
      i tried different speeds, but still the same.
      is it not possible if you have that bootloader installed? or do i need to do something else.?
      thx

    • RE: Extra info page or wiki.

      @j-jk I agree. i think we could use a wiki.
      for example. when i first started, all the examples used a pro mini.
      what if i wanted to use an uno, or nano, or some clone, sensebender?
      these all have different hookups. stuff like that would be great for a wiki.
      if you are using an uno, here is how you hook it up
      nano
      nano v2/v3 etc etc.

      things like the sensebender, they list the pinouts, but not for the ISP.
      if you know what you are looking for, you can figure out pin 1, but i had to go and then look online for the pinouts of an ISP header to find a reset pin.
      this could easily be put into a wiki and would be very helpful.

      the 501 motion sensor, i was informed through the forums, i could use an alternative pin for 3v and make it work that way.
      that could go in a wiki.
      how to do OTA
      how to burn a bootloader
      how to transform a nano into a ASP bootloader burner. etc etc
      i'm sure allot of into could be placed in a wiki that would be very helpful to many.

      I'd love to implement some voice recognition in my setup at the new house, but ideally I would prefer a mic or pickup in each room feeding back to my server which runs 24/7 already. So for me, I would be interested in finding what kinds of mic setups would pick up voice at around 5-6 metre range. I'm worried that might also come with a large price tag too... 😂

      I'm in the same boat.
      I've been looking at voxcommando and that seems to be the ticket.
      but i have not yet looked into how i can mic up the whole house.

    • LDR measurement help

      I'm using an LDR and when i put my finger over it (complete darkness)
      i get this odd "wave like" reading over and over.
      you can see that happen and then when i take my finger off, the value starts to climb steadily but with no "wave like"
      readings going on.

      so my question is what is going on and how do i resolve it?

      I know this is a bit off topic, but i also know there are some very smart folks who frequent here.
      I have 150 acres of land that is very hilly and fairly thick woods.
      I have several cameras located throughout the property. we swap out the SD card's weekly to check the pictures taken.
      i was thinking if i could come up with a way to have those sent back to the house wirelessly.
      we can use 1 watt cobra/uniden handheld radio's to communicate all over the property. but i know my wi-fi signal dies a few hundred feet from the house.
      so if something like this works to get voice around the property.
      what can i use to get data working around the property?

    • RE: Windows GUI/Controller for MySensors

      looking for some help with OTA and a sensebender board.
      if i manually reset the board, then it will take the OTA and that works fine.
      however, that's the only way i can get it to work.
      it doesn't respond to a reboot command (I assume this is because it's sleeping)
      and even if i select the battery/sleeping option, when a transmission does come in, it doesn't reset or start an OTA.
      the only way so far is to physically PF the device and then the OTA works.
      what am i missing?
      thanks!

      EDIT: so this does seems to work.. i spent all morning trying to come up with hack-y ways to get this to work.
      using the default sensebender sketch the OTA wait time is set to 300 milli seconds. which is like .3 seconds.
      i changed that 3000 (3 seconds) set the FW and waited for the next transmission..boom off it went (the OTA).
      so for anyone running into this issue. try this solution.
      I cant imagine 3 seconds vs .3 seconds is going to make a huge difference in battery life.

      quite a few post. so apologies if this has been asked before.
      I'm trying to upload a sketch(hex) to one of my nano's
      it's going but froze at 70%
      i had to reboot the gateway.
      this time it got to 87% and seems froze again.
      any thoughts/suggestions on why the gateway is freezing up?

      edit: i can't seem to get a sketch to upload. it gets to some random % and then the gateway freezes.
      a push of the gateway reset button seems to start it over. but then freezes at random.

      edit 2: must have been a distance thing.. i put the bridge right next to the gateway and the code uploaded quickly without freezing.
      however, i still am curious as to why the gateway fails to respond/freezes if the firmware is not able to be uploaded.

      I thought this may have been a fluke or something. but tonight i tried to OTA a mysensors sensebender board and ran into the same issue basically.
      i get to some random point 60 or 70 % and then it just stops.
      i moved my sensor right next to the gateway and reset it.
      took off again.. but then stopped at a certain point.
      and i see "firmware 130" a few times but nothing else about firmware.
      the board and gateway continue to function, the sensor sends back temp and humidity etc. but nothing else about firmware. on the left in the gui, it says FW updating. but that never changes.
      i won't post the entire debug log, but just the last part of it so you can see what i'm talking about
