    • Selling some parts

      Hi!
      Hope it's ok to ask this here, didn't find a buy/sell thread.
      I've got some Arduino Pro mini and NRF24L01 that I don't need. I just can't find the time making any projects with two small children bringing havok in the house 🙂
      I also have a bunch of @sundberg84's EasyPCB for easy assembly of your sensors. It's been a real help for me when I got in to this.

      Anyone interested? I'm in Sweden so it's a whole lot faster to order from me than from China 🙂

      Best regards,
      Hampus

    • RE: MySensors 2.3.1 released

      Im sure this is a stupid question, but anyways. Im running 2.1 on my Ethernet gateway and sensors atm. Havent done any update since I first set it all up.
      Now, if I update the gateway to 2.3, is it necessary to also update all the sensors? I saw on the download page that its recommended, but will the sensors work even if they run on 2.1?

    • RE: Nodes not showing up

      Ok a bit of an update. I removed my "version" part from config...yaml. I then removed the mysensors.pickle file, restarted HA and then restarted my nodes. And voila, the started showing up. So either there was something wrong with the pickle-file or the version data didn't work.

      But I can see now that the gw sends it's version to HA all the time, like a heartbeat. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.

      Now I just need to figure out how to change the names of the sensors in HA to get them more like all my other devices.

    • RE: Nodes not showing up

      There is the "discovery" option in configuration but I thinks that's more for gateways and bigger devices, not individual nodes. Not sure so I'll give it a try and activate it.
      Other than adding the gw to my configuration, I haven't changed anything in my sketches, since that would be more work than I have time for at the moment.

    • Nodes not showing up

      Hi guys!
      I recently switched from Domoticz to HA and I'm having some problems to get my Mysensors stuff working.
      I can see that HA communicates with the ethernet gateway, and that my repeater gets "pinged". It also get some information from a Temp/Hum sensor. But none of this seems to get added to the UI. I can't find them in "states" either.

      What am I doing wrong? Do I need to collect all my nodes and add something in the sketches? That would be a pain 🙂

      @gohan I might just do that. Any seller to recommend?

    • RE: Problem getting BMP180 to show correct readings.

      It seems like the sensor might be broken. Tried it just now with the library from Sparkfun following this guide: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/bmp180-barometric-pressure-sensor-hookup-

      BMP180 Init fail. The sensor is powered but that seems to be about it. Big disappointment.

    • RE: Problem getting BMP180 to show correct readings.

      @mfalkvidd said in Problem getting BMP180 to show correct readings.:

      @royson84 the adafruit description says

      connect the VIN pin to the 5V voltage pin

      and

      Vin: 3 to 5VDC

      so I think any voltage between 3 and 5V will work.

      Ok. Gonna give it a shot tomorrow with a Pro mini and see if that gives any different results.

      @mfalkvidd said in Problem getting BMP180 to show correct readings.:

      @royson84 with that temp and pressure I would guess that you're in Hell 😄 I hope that's no the case.

      How are you powering the BMP180? (where does 3.3V come from?)

      Its now connected to an UNO that is powered from USB on my laptop. It get around 4V when a measure with multimeter. Might that be the problem? Will that destroy the poor little thing?

      Can you test with a different Arduino?

      Might have a Pro mini to give it a shot with.

      Can you test with a different BMP180?

      Nope, only bought one so far.

      Do you get the exact same value for every reading, or do they vary (if you heat the sensor with your hand for example)?
      Do you get the exact same value from the two libraries?

      Same value from both libraries and sketches. And since the temp is 200C, I think I might have a difficult time getting another reading in my hand, but I'll give it a shot 😉

    • Problem getting BMP180 to show correct readings.

      So as the topic says, im having problems getting a working sketch to my BMP180. It shows some really weird readings:

      Temperature = 200.30 *C
      Pressure = 108908 Pa
      Altitude = -613.66 meters
      Pressure at sealevel (calculated) = 108914 Pa
      Real altitude = -599.14 meters

      I've tried the "sensorapi" sketch from "Adafruit BMP085 Unified" and the "BMP085test" från "Adafruit BMP085 Library".

      Its connected like the guide says:
      VIN<->3.3V
      GND<->GND
      SCL<->A5
      SDA<->A4

      My plan is to use this on a node together with a UV sensor and a DHT22.
      Anyone how wants to take a shoot at what im doing wrong? Cause I suspect thats the case.... 😃

      Thanks.

    • RE: Weird messages sent from ethernet gateway

      Ok so I managed to find some info on the weird message. It seems to be a I_HEARTBEAT_RESPONSE.
      Guess i'll haveto find out to whom its responding..

    • Weird messages sent from ethernet gateway

      Hi guys.
      I just setup a Raspberry Pi3 with Domoticz last night and today I configured my Mysensors ethernet gateway on it. The gateway seems to work, but when I telnet into it it seems to be sending some spooky stuff. It looks like this:
      0_1504027173126_Screenshot_20170829-182140.png

      Anyone knows what that is?
      Another annoying this is that I cant connect to it with the Mysgw android app. Just get "socket closed". Am I supposed to use another port than the 5003 default one?

      Thanks in advance.

    • Clearing old node_ids in Vera Edge

      Hi guys.
      Does anyone know if its possible to clear the memory of a Vera Edge without resetting the whole device?
      I started with MySensors a couple of weeks ago and included some nodes in my Vera a bit too early. Didnt figure it would be a problem. Well, now it kinda is.
      It seems like the Vera remembers or recognizes my nodes even though they have new sketches and i have defined a new MY_NODE_ID. The node still gets the same ID as the first time I added it in Vera. The only problem is that the actual Node is not recreated, only the sensors attached.

      This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't running all my nodes on battery, and the battery status is displayed on the node, and never on the sensors. Thats at least what it looks like. If anyone have another way to display the battery status in the Vera, please tell me. Or if its possible to get the information in ImperiHome without the node showing in Vera, that would suffice as well.

      Thanks in advance for any inputs.

      Heres pictures of one of the PCBs @sundberg84. Not sure why the power isnt reaching the radio in its full capacity. Have i not been careful enough with my soldering?

    • RE: Cant even get my first node working...

      Ok, so it seems that I'm suffering from the ancient sickness of dumb-ass...

      While connecting the radio from the gw, which has a little table on the back explaining all the pins, I realised that when connecting my other radios I forgot the mirror effect and therefore switched some of the connections 😢

      Now, when connected as they should, they work. Haha.

      Also @sundberg84 i measured the voltage and on the PCB I only get about 0.03V on the radio but at the pro mini its 3.3 or thereabouts. Gonna have a look at the connections tonight.

      About debugging the PCB. Do I have to remove the battery jumper when connecting the ftdi? Or do they not interfere if the battery's are off?

    • RE: Cant even get my first node working...

      @sundberg84 I do have a multimeter, but haven't used it in ages so I'm not sure how to honestly. =D

      On the PCB I made all the connections by soldering but I have put that aside for now. Figure I must find out what I'm doing wrong with the radios first. Now when I'm trying to make a new serial gateway I've done so both with some soldering and some duponts.

      Today, as a bit of a last restore, I'm gonna remove my radio from the ethernet gateway, which doesn't give me any failures in debug, and try the same setup with that. If that doesn't work, well..hehe.. Stuff is gonna break 😄

      I really appreciate all your help and suggestions guys!!

      The first and second picture is from a seller called axeprice on ebay. Two different orders with a couple of weeks apart.
      The third picture is from a swedish shop called m.nu, great shop I might add.

    • RE: Cant even get my first node working...

      Im banging my head against the wall here. Uninstalled IDE and reinstalled version 1.6.4 and added Mysensors lib from the menus. Uploaded the GatewaySerial to a new Uno with attached radio+cap. No luck.

      Uninstalled IDE and installed latest version which has Mysensors preinstalled. Same sketch. No luck. Gonna try with yet another radio. But I cant see how the 3 i've already tried could be broken.

      @gohan ok. Im gonna try with different nrfs tonight. I have 13 from 3 different vendors. Reckon at least a couple of them should work..
      I have made 3 sensors with Sundberg84 amazing PCB and they have the same issues, which makes me a bit sceptical.

    • RE: Cant even get my first node working...

      @gohan I made a serial gateway with an Nano+Nrf24L01+ and hooked it up to my computer. Just to bypass the possibility that my regular gateway have radio problems. But even with that simple setup I get "11 !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL" from the Nano. I have tried with 4.7, 47 and 100uF on the radio.

    • RE: Cant even get my first node working...

      Any solution to this? I have the same problem atm. Tried 3 or 4 different nrf24l01+ but with the same failures. I'm suspecting it's related to my sketches or something. Can't wire that many radios wrong, and they are from different vendors. My gateway is an Uno running with an W5100 and latest MySensors dev. Seems to be connecting just fine to both my Vera and when I tried it in Domoticz. The GW debug shows no fails.
