Hi,

Did you get anywhere with this? I would like to build a bluetooth sensor myself but since this is an old thread, I am not really sure if the market has been modernized a little with bluetooth devices..

Thanks!

@stress-nero

Well in the end it was not that hard, I did use DHCP at my server to serve an 'static' ip address, included the correct ip address in the mysensors plugin and tada... It did include a lot or lua reloads and reboots...

@stress-nero said in ESP8266 and Start inclusion doesnt work:

I am having the same issue with RPI 3 ethernet gateway, vera says connected but nothing happens when i hit the pair button, also MYScontroller i see sensor and they talking so i think the gateway and sensors are working.

Got mine working, used the 2.1.1 library and now it works... Finally wireless... :)

Hi,

Anybody any idea why my ESP8266 start inclusion button doesnt work? The gateway itself is functioning fine! When I try to press the start button when I would like to add sensors, doesnt do anything, I did not try the hardware way by installing a push button, but it should work right? I did use the latest development branch (2.2.0-beta) but no movement at all, as soon as I revert back to my serial gateway, all is fine (luckely)...

If anybody has a bright idea, please let me know!

Thanks you in advance!

Kind regards

@riochicken said in Imperihome and mysensors distance sensor:

Hi all,

For some reason I cannot see my distance sensor which I created with mysensors help and in combination with my Vera in Imperihome, it's in a seperate 'room' but not showing at all while the other two in the group are showing, anybody any idea how to solve it? Can it be that the sensor is not presented to the vera as a real device? I do see the device in my Vera and it nicely displays the distance... I would like to see this sensor in my imperihome for obvious reasons..

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Richard

Nobody any idea? Is nobody using the distance sensor?

Hi all,

I've build a arduino nano with a RGB LED attached to it, I used the code from one of the projects here to be able to switch the RGB LED to 3 colors RED (pin 1) Blue (pin 2) and Green (pin 3), this is working fine by using my Vera, it sees the three buttons I programmed it in to but I want something more... I would like to have the possibility to whenever I click another color, the other one shuts off, so if it's Red and I click Green, Red turns off and Green pops on. A status would also be nice so you can see in the Vera homescreen which color is activated. Is there anyone that can help me out here with this? My programming skills for Arduino are not that perfect, I normally copy the code and alter what I think is needed but in this case I am a little stuck...

Thanks for reading this topic!

Kind regards

Richard

@gohan

This one also looks original, but for that price I am not really sure...

@gohan

thats whai i thought... but, can we operate it with the mysensors library?

@gohan

So where to find the originals?! If you have a link, please let me know... I will search ebay...

@gohan

I almost ordered the ones from china, is it an issue that it's going to be a clone?

@gohan

We could use the code as presented in one of the earlier post by Hek to see if that might work... but first I need to order the modules.. :)

I used a ESP8266WiFi module with a static IP address and that seems to be working fine, but then again, the car needs to be in the neighborhood... Would be nice to have something like a bluetooth module of some kind to detect a bluetooth device such as my phone... gotta keep on dreaming... :)

@gohan

Good point, I expect a proximity sensor which can tell if a bluetooth device with a certain hardware address is in the neighborhood to execute certain scenes within the home automation system...

Thanks!!

Re: Bluetooth Proximity Sensor

Hi all,

Is there a way (I know there are a couple of posts out there but none of them seem to be the answer) to create a bluetooth proximity sensor? It would be great if anybody can help me out here....

Thanks!

Kind regards

Richard

@MiKa Thanks Mika, but not that what I am looking for, I would like to use it with a mysensor setup if possible..

It might be a very nice idea to use neopixels with this, a little expensive though when using a lot of LED's but still it's possible to dim them just by using code.. I am afraid I am not able to do that and it was just a small thought... :)

@mfalkvidd I have no clue how to decode the examples you gave, normally in vb or powershell I would check if a pin would be active if another color was requested so I could turn off the other color but I am a bit lost with the code....

Hi,

Anybody an idea if there is a way to use an Arduino nano as a kind of proximity thing? My idea is to use it in 1) the car 2) a bag so everytime I (or my car) is in the neighborhood of my vera, the alarm shuts down etc... At the moment there is no way of telling Vera if a device comes back online to do some tasks, except when using ping of course, but that is not that accurate, plus my car has a wifi point as well and my phone stays connected to the car instead of connecting to the home wifi...

Just a thought no idea if it can be programmed in the code itself...

Thanks!

Kind regards
