For the record, I have successfully built the code for a V2 MySensors ESP8266 gateway. The issue described in the first lines of this thread was caused by using V2.3 or less of the ESP8266 Arduino library, which didn't contain the most recent Wifi class refactoring.
See the following post I made on GitHub
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/625
Looks like the esp8266 wifi library was refactored, and this is breaking the sketch
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/commit/8db4dcea426b2a1b7d1cca6d5bf4c351284f2240
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried, but no luck.
I opened a ticket with Vera to see if they can help. Next thing I might try would be to remove the device definition files and re-upload, but I guess the issue is buried deep down somewhere and this would be like hitting the water with a sword trying to catch a fish.
Hi everyone!
I have been playing around with mySensors and built a few nodes.
Recently, I have built an irrigation controller, with multiplexer rather than shift register and running on an Arduino Nano. After a few tests, I decided to update the device type to use SPRINKLERS. This is when things started going wrong.
So right now, I have removed all the Arduino devices from my Vera, and also cleaned up any reference to "Arduino" from the user data using commands such as
http://vera_ip:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=999
Once I had a clean slate to start from (or so I thought), I uploaded all the device files again. Here is the content
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 27 10:27 va-install.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1685 May 27 10:26 D_Arduino1.json.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 575 May 27 10:26 D_Arduino1.xml.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1152 May 27 10:26 D_ArduinoNode1.json.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 578 May 27 10:26 S_Arduino.xml.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 561 May 27 10:26 S_ArduinoNode.xml.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12156 May 27 10:26 L_Arduino.lua.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 473 May 27 10:26 D_ArduinoNode1.xml.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1892 May 27 10:26 D_ArduinoRelay1.json.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 485 May 27 10:26 D_ArduinoRelay1.xml.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1859 May 27 10:26 I_Arduino1.xml.lzo
Then I tried creating the Arduino device by following the instructions; specify the device file and click create.
Current status shows the adruino device in the user data, but the device doesn't show up on the device list in UI7 and it is not possible to configure it. Here is how it appears in the user data.
<device id="188" name="" device_type="D_Arduino1.xml" room="0" id_parent="0" embedded="0" disabled="0" device_file="" device_json="" impl_file="" manufacturer="" model="" altid="" ip="" mac="" time_created="1464357546">
<states/>
</device>
Solved! Documenting here in case anyone needs it
I created a support request to get some help from Vera Controls on this. They were very responsive and provided the missing step that allowed me to re-create the device in no time.
Here is their answer:
In order to make again the Arduino to work properly with our system, you’ll have to the following steps:
os.execute("rm -rf /etc/cmh-ludl/*Arduino*")
Vera_IP/cgi-bin/cmh/view_upnp_file.sh?file=xxx
For example:
Vera_IP/cgi-bin/cmh/view_upnp_file.sh?file=D_Arduino1.xml.lzo
I would like to thank them for having been so quick to respond and would recommend their product as the back end automation workhorse on any hybrid mySensors/Z-Wave home automation solution as their platform has a lot of potential for expansion through custom plugins.
This looks very interesting!
