@gohan How would I implement that?
I only see options for overall sleep time, none that allow me different sleep time for only when the pin is high.
I'm sorry for all these questions, I feel like an idiot, but I'm so close to getting all the sensors that I need on one board. That I would have no hope of configuring without node manager.
One hurdle left...
@user2684 exactly what I thought about the (change) .
I have a test rig setup at the moment and I have been pulling the pin high and low manually with a jumper wire.
I've held the pin high for up to 30 seconds.
The node sends a high value. Than the sleep msg.
Up to 30 seconds latter I disconnect the high and connect to low but nothing happens, the node just sleeps either till the amount in the timer or if the pin is pulled high again.
I imagine this is the sort of behaviour you would see with a (rising) state
@user2684 I really appreciate the help.
and now I'm able to use all the extra inbuilt features of the code, now that i know how to add them to the sketch.
And I hate to be a pain but I cant seem to get this damn motion sensor to work properly.
I've tried the examples you have given me, I've played around with every possible thing I can think/read.
But for the life of me cant get it to send a (0) for non tripped.
I assume the (CHANGE) interrupt option should be sending a msg on a motion detect ie: (1)
and then when the pin goes low it should send a (0), but it seem that the node has already gone to sleep and the changed state is not being recorded.
What else could I try?
Thanks guys got it running.
after a lot of stuffing around
the problem I'm having now is the controller always say that its tipped (Using home assistant)
It looks to me that the node doesn't send an off trip, only an on.

is this correct? Looks to me that the node sends a (1) when tripped but not a (0) when motion stops.
This makes my controller think that there is constant motion
@user2684 thanks mate.
Ill try that tommorrow.
Really wish I know how to code, but I just don't know where to start.
@user2684 said in NodeManager: plugin for a rapid development of battery-powered sensors:
I have a couple of AM312 sensors around here and they are working ok without any debounce or trigger time, I guess I've been just lucky
The only issue I had has been a lot of false positives when placed outside and the light changing (e.g. the sun shines over them) but I think this is somehow expected.
@mar.conte in your example you are creating a switch object, adjusting its settings but then NOT using it since when yo call register sensor it will create and register a new object
Either you call register sensor and then retrive the object in this way:nodeManager.setSleep(SLEEP,60,MINUTES); sensor_id = nodeManager.registerSensor(SENSOR_MOTION,3); SensorMotion* sensorMotion = ((SensorMotion*)nodeManager.getSensor(sensor_id)); sensorMotion->setDebounce(50); sensorMotion->setTriggerTime(4000);Or you create your own sensor, adjust the settings and register it by passing the object's instance but then you also need to setup the interrupt manually so I'd recommend the option just above. In your example (if this is what you are using) you basically have a standard sensor with neither debounce nor triggertime set
I appreciate the help.
Ive tried adding your code to my sketch but I get this error.

This report would have more information with

Is the error that stops it from compiling, I always get the other errors when compiling but the sensor still works, tested on dht sensor (but this may be the problem)
I'm guessing i'm missing something in the sketch.
I'm really sorry for the pathetic questions.
With this basic sketch:
/*
NodeManager is intended to take care on your behalf of all those common tasks a MySensors node has to accomplish, speeding up the development cycle of your projects.
NodeManager includes the following main components:
- Sleep manager: allows managing automatically the complexity behind battery-powered sensors spending most of their time sleeping
- Power manager: allows powering on your sensors only while the node is awake
- Battery manager: provides common functionalities to read and report the battery level
- Remote configuration: allows configuring remotely the node without the need to have physical access to it
- Built-in personalities: for the most common sensors, provide embedded code so to allow their configuration with a single line
Documentation available on: https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager

I know I'm loosing a lot of communication but, I'm just trying to test at the moment.
Oh and I don't have any sensors connected to this node at the moment, so there is no PIR sending pin high.
the voltage between ground and pin 2 is 0.28v
I'm really struggling with this.
If I run the mysensors example it works as expected.
any help would be much appreciated
@mar.conte thanks for the reply.
I've read that adding the debounce helps, but I just don't know how to add it to the sketch.
I'm arduino/coding illiterate I manage to bluff my way through most things but this one has me stuffed.
Where and how do I add debounce to my sketch?
@user2684 said in NodeManager: plugin for a rapid development of battery-powered sensors:
@mar.conte great to hear it is working now! For anybody else interested in these parameters, setDebounce() will set a debounce interval, e.g. the value of the input is checked after the interval from the wakeup so to avoid false positives, while seTriggerTime() ignore any input after the pir has triggered to avoid the sensor to trigger continuously. Btw, very nice and clean packaging!
Just wanted to say first of, this node manager is great for someone like me who has been playing around with my sensors but really struggling to get past the basic example sketches.
I've been trying to put together a motion sensor using an AM312 PIR.
but I'm having problems like others with the sensor always remaining tripped.
I've read through all the documentation but I'm having troubles figuring out how and where to add the extra sensor parameters.
do these go in the config.h sketch? if so how and where?
or do I change them in the NodeManager.h
sorry for such a basic question but I'm not really good with arduino or coding and have read your instructions over and over but I cant figure out how to add these parameters to my sketch.
Any help would be appreciated.
So who would have thought this home automation stuff would have such a steel learning curve.
I've come from absolutely no coding knowledge to be able to get home assistant some what running, and I'm loving it.
Now I'm trying to add a few sensors around the house.
I've been reading and trying different things for the last 2 days, but cant seam to figure it out.
I've got a arduino r3 loaded with the default Ethernet gateway sketch.
and through the serial monitor it is outputting
0;255;3;0;9;MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA--,VER=2.1.1
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;TSF:WUR:MS=0
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:TSP OK

0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0
0;255;3;0;9;MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED
Which to my untrained eye seems right.
The sensor node is a arduino nano and for the moment has a light sensor connected to it.
with this sketch.

Which I dont see anything wrong with.
So from this point everything seems to be working properly.
Then I move to home assistant, for the life of me I cannot get anything to show.
my config.yaml is:
mysensors:
gateways:
- device: '192.168.2.50'
tcp_port: 5003
and the only out of the ordanry thing in the log is.

Which I've read is normal till home assistant discovers a sensor.
So this leads me to believe my problems have something to do with the persistence..
which I have no knowledge about, I'm having a stab in the dark and amusing that there is something missing out of my sketch files but I just don't know where to look or what to do.
Any help or direction would be much appreciate, I'm ripping my hair out and the misses is going to cut my throat if I spend to many more afternoons swearing at the computer.
