    • RE: Help with PIR and Water Sensor or Nano - Water Sensor won't trigger

      Got it working with this sleep function properly:

        // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion or water sensor. Send update every two minute. 
        gw.sleep(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, DIGITAL_INPUT_WATER_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);

    • RE: Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      Hey guys! Thanks so very much for all the great comments. I haven't replied in a few days as I wanted to go back to the drawing board..... I didn't like that sketch, the sleep functions, etc etc.... It didn't also make sense clearly based on everyone's feedback ( Sorry I am just getting started with IDE... ) So, based on that, I've come up with the following, and if you could comment, modify where I messed up, it would be greatly appreciated. This sketch seems to work, and keep state on power LOSS. There's a relay for the garage door ( trigger, PIN 4 ), a reed switch to detect if the door is open or closed ( PIN 2 ), a DHT for Temp / Humidity ( PIN 7 ), and a PIR ( PIN 3 ) for motion activated events. Below is the sketch, and would really appreciate any great feedback.

      Thanks again!

    • RE: Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      Hello @Boots33

      The Reed switch should NOT have any effect on the relay. ( It shouldn't anyways, it only senses open / closed

      From my understanding here:

      https://home-assistant.io/components/mysensors/

      It needs to be done in the loop function:

      Present the sensor’s S_TYPE.
      Send at least one initial value per V_TYPE. In version 2.0 of MySensors this has to be done in the loop function. See below for an example in 2.0 of how to make sure the initial value has been received by the controller.

      Below is an example from that page:

    • RE: Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      Hey @Boots33 Thanks very much for the reply. I apologize I should have elaborated further.

      My home automation platform is Home Assistant. I am using a few mysensors around the house for temp, motion etc, and the purpose of this very sensor / sketch is to be used as a garage door opener. I am using an Uno, with the following PINS:

      PIR - PIN 3
      DHT - PIN 7
      Relay - PIN 4
      Reed switch - PIN 2

      The PIR and the DHT are just fun addon sensors that might trigger an action based on motion or temp.

      The Reed switch can tell when the garage door is open or closed based on contact, and the relay's purpose is to provide a momentary "press" of the garage door wall control, ( I have it wired into the opener and relay ).

      It currently works great, but on loss of power at the house ( The arduino is plugged in ), the relay trips on reload, causing the garage door to open / close, and well, if we are away from the house, this is obviously not good. 😉

      I just tried implementing your change you recommended, and unfortunately on reboot, the relay still triggers. Ideally, if I could have the relay not trigger on reboot, then I would consider it safe. I'm sure it's possible, I just can't figure out how to not have it reset / trigger on AC power fail. The interface appears as follows:

      0_1488935309554_upload-d5417f76-6875-4689-bc03-2fa7f45d760c

      I did make the modification, but the results are the same, so I won't re paste the code block.

      Thanks very much for the help @Boots33 if there are any other code mods I could make, I really would appreciate it.

      Thanks!

    • RE: Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      @Boots33 Thanks very much for the reply, and I know this is late in my response so I apologize about that....

      So this sketch does the following. A Replay that momentarily interrupts the garage door button to simulate a press of the control button, has a PIR and a DHT for motion and temp / hum, and also has a reed switch that can determine if the door is open or closed. I've been playing none stop with the sketch, and have tweaked it to the best of my ability, but STILL on power loss, the relay always clicks... therefore opening or closing the door...... Based on these changes, is there any way I can clean this up ( I'm at a loss unfortunately ) so that on power loss the relay remains as it was "state"? I've tried a few combinations without any luck to this point. My revised sketch is below, and I really appreciate any help.

      Thanks

    • RE: Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      @hek Thanks for the reply, but I'm not 100% sure as I am still somewhat new to mysensors and arduino. Is there any chance you could possibly show an example using the above sketch I pasted previously?

      Thanks!

    • Prevent Relay from triggering on power loss or broker reboot

      Hey guys:

      I'm currently using a relay to control a garage door opener, but when the MQTT broker reboots, or the Arduino reboots, the relay's click on and off, of course opening / closing the garage door. Is there a way to have the relay's remember state and NOT click on and off in case of power or broker restart? I am not much of a coder, and combled this together, so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

    • RE: Mysensors 2.0 + Relay, DHT, and PIR - No Relay

      Hello @Nuubi Yes I believe that is exactly why the Relay goes unresponsive. If I remove that sleep block, the PIR floods the gateway, and I am not sure how to get around it? Is there any possible recommendations you could make to the code so that the DHT, PIR AND Relay all work without the PIR flooding the gateway?

      Thanks very much!

         } 
      }
      
      

      Can anyone help with where I have gone wrong? Board, NRF, etc all work with the default relay sketch, but when I am combining, I am not having any luck with the relay, everything else appears fine based on serial output:

    • RE: 3 in 1 incl battery monitor

      Hey @carlierd Just curious if you are still using a DHT22 with your sketch? Have you modified the code much from the above? I am looking at implementing something similiar ( identical actually ) and was wondering if much has changed for you over the last few months?

      Thanks!

    • RE: Help with PIR and Water Sensor or Nano - Water Sensor won't trigger

      Got it working with this sleep function properly:

        // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion or water sensor. Send update every two minute. 
        gw.sleep(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, DIGITAL_INPUT_WATER_SENSOR - 2, CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
