Will there be support for the new line of Ezlo/Vera hubs?

https://getvera.com/collections/hubs

This is old but maybe?

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. :)

@mfalkvidd

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.

@frits

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

2861 TSF:TDI:TSL

What the heck am I doing wrong?

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.

http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,102841.0/topicseen.html

Sorry if this isn't exactly related but I figure it's a good place to update people. If not just delete it.

@japio

Where did this all end up?

I run a Vera also. I would go with An esp8266 for gateway. Look at the capacitor added to the radio.

@neo-mod said in [SOLVED] MySensors and DHT22 - difficoulties in getting started:

@r-nox Thank you R-Nox! I finally figured it out, and I wrote my conclusions here. I hope it may be useful for other users. :)

I'm glad you got it working. I too had the hardest time finding the right library. That's why I responded. You're write up should help other in the future too. Thank you.

Look here perhaps.

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4326/can-t-compile-humidity-sketch-2-0-what-dht-library-do-i-need/18

Using the code below I seem to be having trouble getting the control to show in the UI. When I include the device only the arduino node shows up.
Where have I gone wrong?

Great work. I'm going to build this for my back yard!

When you include a sensor it creates an Arduino node and the sensor itself. Make sure to delete them both.

Here's the clear eeprom sketch if you need it.

https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/ClearEepromConfig/ClearEepromConfig.ino

There you have it!

If you have used this same sensors as a test in the past you may need to clear the eeprom data also.

Just a guess...
