There's been a lot of complaints about Vera over the last few years. It looks like there's been a buy out or a buy in and as a result it's getting some much needed attention.

Great work. I'm going to build this for my back yard!
I think this is the same thing as you were trying to accomplish.
Sleep for 6 minutes or when interrupted. I have a reed switch on pin 2
pinMode(REED_SWITCH, INPUT); // set the reed switch digital pin as input
//digitalWrite(REED_SWITCH, HIGH);
pinMode(REED_SWITCH, INPUT_PULLUP);
sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(REED_SWITCH), CHANGE, 360000); //3600000 hour
@frits Thank you for catching that. I was just reworking and now it's sending proper values. 
Sending as V_TEXT did not have the effect needed.
void sendToReceiver(boolean reed_tripped)
{
char percent;
Serial.print(" Light Status ");
Serial.println(reed_tripped);
switch (reed_tripped) {
case 0:
percent = "0";
Serial.print(" Select case is ");
Serial.println("0");
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent).setType(V_TEXT));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.set(percent, 0));
break;
case 1:
percent = "30";
Serial.print(" Select case is ");
Serial.println("30");
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent).setType(V_TEXT));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.set(percent, 0));
break;
}
}
and the results
3201 TSF:MSG:SEND,8-8-0-5,s=0,c=1,t=47,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:4
Payload still shows as P_INT16 and payload is 4 but in fact should be 30
This should be simple. I don't understand what's going wrong.
I tried this. Here's the results. They are close but payload looks corrupted.
char buf[MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE+1];
strcpy ( buf, percent );
void sendToReceiver(boolean reed_tripped)
{
char percent;
Serial.print(" Light Status ");
Serial.println(reed_tripped);
switch (reed_tripped) {
case 0:
percent = "0";
Serial.print(" Select case is ");
Serial.println("0");
char buf[MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE+1];
strcpy ( buf, percent );
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(buf).setType(V_TEXT));
break;
case 1:
percent = "30";
Serial.print(" Select case is ");
Serial.println("30");
char buf2[MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE+1];
strcpy ( buf, percent );
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(buf2).setType(V_TEXT));
break;
}
My results have had their molecules mixed during transport. I expected "30" but received :⸮
4870 TSF:MSG:SEND,8-8-0-5,s=0,c=1,t=47,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:⸮
Any further advice?
I'm sending a message from node to node but when the message gets there it's the wrong type.
I need to send as P_STRING but it's showing as P_INT16
This is my send
void sendToReceiver(boolean reed_tripped)
{
char percent;
Serial.print(" Light Status ");
Serial.println(reed_tripped);
switch (reed_tripped) {
case 0:
percent = "0";
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent).setType(V_PERCENTAGE));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.set(percent, 0));
break;
case 1:
percent = "30";
send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent).setType(V_PERCENTAGE));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.setDestination(5).setSensor(0).set(percent));
//send(msgDimmer_to_5.set(percent, 0));
break;
}
}
and the message
2836 !TSF:MSG:SEND,8-8-5-5,s=0,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=NACK:4
2842 !TSF:RTE:N2N FAIL
2846 TSF:MSG:SEND,8-8-0-5,s=0,c=1,t=3,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:4
2854 MCO:SLP:MS=360000,SMS=0,I1=0,M1=1,I2=255,M2=255
2861 TSF:TDI:TSL
What the heck am I doing wrong?
