@TimO i powerd the gateway with a NAS server its usb port the pi its usb port more then enough power and with a wall socket adapter used for phones and a powered usb hub i also use for external hds and all gave me the same result nojoy

rob

@TimO Yeah it worked for months with a bunch of sensors like 10 temp/hum sensors relays weatherstation etc with the 2.0 binding and the hue binding etc bunch of rules had the whole house automated with alarm and whatnot and stable but then the misses managed to destroy the pi/openhab server (im still making her pay tho :D) i got the capicitators on the nrf etc all by the book made them all myself and programmed them all myself. got a new pi installed openhab 2.1 and the 2.1 binding but i just cant get them to talk to openhab again (was running 2.0 before) i reinstalled raspbian and openhab like a gazillion times now made al the opgrades incl java and the feature binding install etc.. im cleuless now

i just build a ethernet gateway and tried that its connected but doesnt show me the sensors like the serial gateway did in the logs it gives a different warning and i noticed that the cache only shows the node 5 i added manually not the other sensors the log showed...

@doctor64 thank you for your response !! i have my node id coded in the sensors and everything worked perfect im still thinking i made a misstake somewhere in installing openhab and mysensors the other bindings work perfect, i have it all setup in a 19inch cabinet and thats still in the same place.

rob

@doctor64 the node 5 i manually added to openhab its a relay but isnt found with discovery (i have like 30 nodes a bunch of hue lights etc etc) everthing worked ok but my pi/openhab was taken down by the wife so had to rebuild from scratch and now the log shows the sensors but openhab wil not show me them

rob

@TimO Thank you for your quick reaction (and good work !!) inbox folder is empty. and here is a copy paste of the log file

rob

Hello i installed openhab 2.1 and the openhab jar 2.1 file in addons directory the gateway (serial) is up and running, in the log i see the senors !! but the autodiscovery stops the second i start it and wont show anny sensors but i do see them in the log if i replace the 2.1 jar with the 2.0 jar the autodiscovery runs but doesnt show anny sensors. i had it all working but decided to start from scratch again.

Im doing something wrong but cant figure it out.

rob

no this node is not batterpowerd, hence the millis etc for the wait period still need to clean up the sketch and still remove some of the stuff left behind from al that copy and pasting

rob

Yeah thats on my todo list to , the weather station i got al the sensors now to hook them up and write the sketches then agian i got a verryyyyy long todo list

rob

Thank you for your quick response !

Ill have a go changing all you said, the 6 seconds interval was for testing purposes so i didnt have to wait for the output.

Ill have a looksee at the examples you mentioned.

my next step is to hook up the 1000 meters of cat6e cable i put everywhere, to hook up all the door/window buttons and sensors/arduinos and making rules to get them all to work with all the philips hue lights and whatnot.

this was my first multi sketch with a lot of copy paste and trial and error

rob

Hello i have a question and need some help since im new to arduino . ive tried to build my first multi sensor sketch and it works only i need to add one more (smoke sensor) and i need someone to look at it and tell me how to clean it up better. im a quick learner and need some pointers.
The sketch is working i get all the readings in my openhab2 server running on a pi the ethernet gateway is runnning on the mysensors binding. we are rebuilding our entire home and making it a selfsuccient smart home. were 1 year into the build and getting there

here is the sketch for my wifes greenhous i got a dht sensor (had troubles with the 2320sensors) a soil sensor with a 2 relay module and a door/window button. they talk over a nrf network wich runs ok allready got a bunch of sensor nodes up and running.

im trying to use the millis count to keep it al working the help i need is cleaning the sketch up. can someone please give me pointers on what i can do to clean it up or where i may have made misstakes.

Regards and sorry for the bad english

Robert
