Nothing. Or no change at least. The shots above are still the only messages that I am getting, apart from the ESP8266 rebooting by itself occasionaly, and the sensor node tends to repeat itself as new readings come in

OK.. i think after looking a bit more they are talking.. however there are a few issues and they are not understanding each other or somehitng. I remember reading before that there is a way to flash the device back to stock/wipe the EEPROM. DOes anyone know the link to that?

Hello all,

I just had all of my parts arrive and are builing my contoller and first sensor (DHT11 on MEGA clone). After flashing both (using the development build), they both seem to be working according to the serial monitor, but i cannot seem to make them talk to each other!

Can anyone help me out? I am using the examples on both the gateway and node.

Here is the output from the gateway after pressing reset:

Tanks for that. I have it all working now! And also thanks for the quick reply!

Hello again Hek,

Just one more question... how? I have crated a serial gateway following this http://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_gateway#wiring-things-up
and then added the relavent parts from here http://www.mysensors.org/build/humidity

but am not getting anything showing up in my controller (MyContoller.org). am I on the right path, or going in the wrong direction?

haha.. time to give it a shot! thanks

@hek said:

Not right now. Working on it.

hello Hek.. any news or timeframe on having a sensor on the gateway?

Thanks!

pwatt01

Thanks for that advice. I reckon ill get started with some hacking and see how far I get! Thanks!

Hello All,

I have a DSC PC2550 (8 zone and 2 fire) alarm system that came with my house. I was thinking that I would like to hook it up so I can access it from home via mysensors to OPENHAB (or another controller...)

I was thinking that I have 3 options

rip out all the existing control boards and replace with Arduino Mega. Use the existing sensors (motion and fire alarm) as basic sensors (open or closed), stepped down to 5v high to not destroy the arduino. Then using this as an example to send the info back to openhab. Then setting rules in open hab to arm/disarm, activate siren & strobe etc. Reverse engineer keypad to work as is but with the new 'contollor'
It seems that there has been some work done in using an arduino to interface with DSC systems. Does anyone think this might be easier.. It seems you need more hardware (DSC IT-100), which according to the specsheet is not compatible with
Reverse engineer the keypad and create a 2nd 'keypad' using an arduino and mysensors and/or openHAB that can control the system as needed, keeping the existing controllors as is.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
