Today I finally finished my second RGB LED lighting in the room. Next is the LED illumination of the perimeter of the bed. Under the bed, I want to place a motion sensor so that it reacts when I get out of bed at night.

Finally, I can join this discussion!
Today I drew a scheme of my first device! This is a system to protect against water leakage. I also posted it in the "hardware" section. Link.

@hard-shovel thank you very much! Now everything works!
I will give here a full sketch. I'm sure it will be useful to many.

@zboblamont @bjacobse
I plan to make the leakage sensors waterproof, with outwardly exposed contacts made of stainless steel. I plan to lift the contacts 1-2mm from the floor so that when washing floors, when the floor is just a little wet sensor did not work. I really like the sensors from Xiaomi.
alt text

I ordered for the sample here are such cases from China:

1 - 31х10mm

2 - 61х20mm

I have not yet verified this code on the device, since I do not have all the necessary components. But it compiled without errors, and that makes me happy already!

I have only the fear that the function of warming the water will not work correctly, since the kettle has two LEDs that display the status:
LED_WARMPOWER - Warming is on, but the heating is not involved yet
LED_WARMACT - Warming is on and the heater is running.

I would be grateful if you could help me fix this. Perhaps you will notice other errors in the code, please tell me about them.

@mfalkvidd thank you very much for your help!

The other day I finished the first version of the PCB for my system of protection against water leakage. It will have two automatic ball valves, six leakage sensors with wire breakage monitoring and in the future I plan to connect it to the Mysensors.

Here is a prototype collected with the help of Arduino Pro Mini. Arduino Uno is just nearby, but not connected. Do not pay any attention to him.

vladimir

@hard-shovel thanks for the answer!
The encoder started working as it should! There was only a problem with the switch in OpenHAB. It does not switch when you press a button on the device. The feeling that OpenHAB does not get the status of this switch. The device works well.
In this video, I clearly demonstrated the problem: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4fee/HiVX5ZSxh

Maybe you know what the problem is? I made all the changes you wrote to me in the previous message. Here is the updated device code:

@gohan Frankly, I'm not particularly aware of this topic. I want to measure the usual dust in the air. I apologize if my words seem stupid to you. I want to understand which concentration of dust particles should be measured for the living space, what is the ultimate norm of these particles in the air and what sensor is suitable for this.

@mfalkvidd It looks like the whole problem is that I'm trying to do this in the Mac OS. Very strange, but even the debugging mode does not display real-time information.

The project of today is not yet connected with Mysensors.
This is a light relay with an IR receiver for the spotlight illuminating the backyard of my friends' house.
In the dark, the relay can be switched off from the remote control (to block the activation of the relay). If the remote is far away from you, then the lock can be removed with the searchlight switch by restarting it.
To understand if the relay is locked, there is a red LED on the case.

@lastsamurai Hello!
Did you manage to implement this node?

vladimir

@mfalkvidd The fact of the matter is that I could not figure it out. Here are the problems that I now faced:

In OpenHAB2, on the Mac OS, debugging information is not displayed when starting start_debug.sh
I still could not understand why in OpenHAB2, there is no MQTT gateway in the list:

@yveaux Excuse me. I promise not to do it again!

vladimir

@mfalkvidd Thank you! Everything worked!

vladimir

@crankycoder This was my first and so far the only idea. To my regret, it did not work. Such a trick turned out only with a switch.

vladimir

@crankycoder Many thanks for the idea! I think this is the right direction for solving my question.
