Hi all

I am struggling how to set up whitelisting in both direction. I have enabled soft signing and whitelisting in myconfig.h and set a serial number randomly made up.

Now on the node I am copying the whitelist with the serial.gw serial, but what I want to achieve is to also sign reverse.

Could somebody point me to some code I would need to use?. I understand that I will have to recompile the gateway node each time I add a sensor.

Cannot copy any code atm as not in front of my dev machine. But when required, please let me know and I shall add it.

Kind regards

Steve

Hey, have any of you used these puppies before?

https://www.microduino.cc/ They have a core set as well as the radio.

Hi all

Quick Q: I currently have about 5 sensors in my house. Now, the current (5th) sensor seems to be working fine, but it sits at the furthest location from my gateway. I was wondering, can I combine both the repeater and sensor functionality? This sensor serves as a tempHum gateway and would be great if it could also act as a repeater.

Kind regards
Steve

@fets I am good Thank for the support

Hi, I am waiting for the relay to stop and next try to use V_UP or V_DOWN. When I use gw.wait, it works fine and I can interrupt the motion by using V_STOP.

Hey Hek,

there is currently nothing connected to them. How come the wait works but the sleep doesn't? Does it mean it does no longer wake up?

Kind regards

Hek I just updated the first post a bit (had some issues there I noticed)

this is the node log

send: 250-250-0-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,st=ok:1.5
send: 250-250-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=1,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:0

send: 250-250-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=6,sg=0,st=ok:Blinds
send: 250-250-0-0 s=255,c=3,t=12,pt=0,l=3,sg=0,st=ok:1.0
send: 250-250-0-0 s=250,c=0,t=5,pt=0,l=6,sg=0,st=ok:Blinds
Node ready to receive messages...
read: 0-0-250 s=250,c=0,t=5,pt=0,l=6,sg=0:Blinds
Blinds

UPDATE: I am a bit further. I can now send one command to the sensor, yet after that it fails. The relay will be enable, but another command fails.

0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-250-250 s=10,c=1,t=30,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:
0;0;3;0;9;read: 1-3-0 s=0,c=1,t=0.0
0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-250-250 s=10,c=1,t=29,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=fail:

As you can see the V_CLOSE works, but the next command fails when I use gw.sleep. When I reset the sensor or use gw.wait they work again.

I copied the latest sketch below

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#define UP_PIN  3 
#define DOWN_PIN  4
#define CHILD_ID 250 

MySensor gw;
void setup()  
{   
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, false);
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Blinds", "1.0");
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_COVER,"Blinds",true);
  pinMode(UP_PIN, OUTPUT);   
  pinMode(DOWN_PIN, OUTPUT);   
  digitalWrite(UP_PIN, 0);
  digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN, 0);
  Serial.println( "Node ready to receive messages..." );
}

void loop() 
{
  gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  Serial.println(message.data);
  if (message.type==V_UP) {
    Serial.println("opening up covers");
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,1);
     gw.wait(15000);
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,0);
   } 
   else if (message.type==V_DOWN) {
     Serial.println("closing up covers");
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,1);
     gw.wait(15000);
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,0);
   } 
   else if (message.type==V_STOP) {
     Serial.println("stopping covers");
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,0);
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,0);
   }
}

Hi all

I am trying to make a controller for my blinds using a 2 channel relay. I am using MySensors 1.5 and arduino 1.6.5b as dev env.

I am using the following sketch

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>

#define UP_PIN  3 
#define DOWN_PIN  4
#define CHILD_ID 250 

MySensor gw;
void setup()  
{   
  gw.begin(incomingMessage, AUTO, false);
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Blinds", "1.0");
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_COVER,"Blinds",true);
  pinMode(UP_PIN, OUTPUT);   
  pinMode(DOWN_PIN, OUTPUT);   
  digitalWrite(UP_PIN, 0);
  digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN, 0);
  Serial.println( "Node ready to receive messages..." );
}

void loop() 
{
  gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
  Serial.println(message.data);
  if (message.type==V_UP) {
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,1);
     gw.sleep(15000);
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,0);
     Serial.println("opening up covers");
   } 
   else if (message.type==V_DOWN) {
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,1);
     gw.sleep(15000);
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,0);
     Serial.println("closing up covers");
   } 
   else if (message.type==V_STOP) {
     digitalWrite(UP_PIN,0);
     digitalWrite(DOWN_PIN,0);
     Serial.println("stopping covers");
   }
}

In the gateway I get

0;0;3;0;9;read: 250-250-0 s=255,c=0,t=17,pt=0,l=3,sg=0:1.5
250;255;0;0;17;1.5

0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-250-250 s=250,c=0,t=5,pt=0,l=6,sg=0,st=ok:Blinds

250;250;0;0;5;Blinds

I can see the blinds coming up in Domoticz and I can even send data to it (vtype 30,29 and 31) yet nothing is receiving the incoming message (The controller is still connected to my laptop so I can monitor them)

Any clues why this goes wrong?

Kind regards

Hi all,

I was wondering, I want to be able to adress my blinds using mysensors. Using the relay, radio etc works fine, yet I am still wondering on this power supply. So using the above component I basically prevent fire by using the thermal fuse and an overload by using a regular fuse, the varistor and the HLK.

Now, I am using a Nano (I have still 15 of those) which appear to be using 230mA, the radio itself and a relay. The relay (from the spec sheet) uses 180mA. This should be ok to be used with the HLK shown above. Now, my main concern is, how do you make a all sit together nicely? Is there a PCB type of board you are using? Any pointers welcome

Kind regards

Steve

Hey,

can this be a power issue? When I connect it to the USB port it works fine, when I use my convertor from 220v to 5vdc , it gives me this error...

Hi all

I try to connect a repeater to my arduino but I get the following output...
000;t;0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-4-4 s=255,c=3,t=6,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:M
to be honest, I do not have a clue why this occurs. When I plug it in with the serial gateway connected directly to my testing laptop it seems to do as expected, yet the moment I move it around I see this error
Any ideas?

Kind regards

Steve

Hi all,

I am trying to migrate my manual up/down sensor for my blinds with a mysensors solution. I would use this PCB (solder off the USB/connectors :http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/1PCS-DIY-Kit-5V-800mA-Regulated-Power-Supply-AC-DC-220V-to-5V-Power-Convert-/331476522266?hash=item4d2d8a551a ) with an Arduino nano , nrf and the following relay:
http://www.dx.com/nl/p/arduino-2-channel-5v-relay-module-expansion-board-137160
Does anybody see an issue with this? Safety? Programming etc?

Kind regards

Steve

I rebooted the sensor and now it does store the sensorID. (Could this have been as I was on 1.6.5-R5 and now on 1.7.7 or the IDE?)

HI all,

I am using domoticz in combination with mysensors. It appears that when I reboot the whole system (gateway + sensors) or sometimes even just the sensors, they are rerecognised by the system. I read that the ID should be stored in the EEPROM, but it appears this does not happen. Anything I can test?

Kind regards

Steve
