@sundberg84

yes , but this solution needs buying of sensor which costs about 25-30 € , this what I write , take a look on it needs only resistors and wires (plus arduino and radio of course)

@gohan

Yes this is true but these requires of buying sensors for about 30€ for example AS3935 , I think that one , which I mentioned is cheap because it only needs 2x 10 kOhm and 3,3 mOhm resistors . Only problem which I had is bring that code works with mysensors.

Hi ,

I found this simple setup for lightning detection

[https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/runtimeprojects/a-lightning-detector-for-arduino-9f679c](link url)

is there some way to implement it with mysensors to see it for example in domoticz ?

@gohan said in Sonoff relay using MySensors ESP8266 wifi or mqtt gateway:

is it reachable via IP or is it totally unresponsive?

I had same problem too.. When is longer not turned on, Sonoff disconnects from wifi , that ip is not in client list, in my case I only turn sonoff on throught black button on the top and than it is okay about day-two.

After electricity plugged off , it stops working / not connecting to wifi router, but on manual click it turns on and of , it is problem because I don't use haas config ? I dont know where can I place them, can you help me ? thanks

@mfalkvidd

And what about 433 mhz way like RFlink as usb gateway ? Will it drain less ?

@mfalkvidd

Thanks for reply and interest, but question is : Do I need use Solid state relay or classic relay or how can I switch light on/off ? Thanks

Hi ,

I want to help make led strip remote powered trought 3x AAA batteries , which can I turn on/off remotely without relay (it consumes lot of power). I think when it works on 5V battery(3xAA) it may be powered trought arduino , or any ideas ?

Led strip here

Tried LAN sketch after adding new hardware in domoticz this error occurs

2017-04-06 06:28:07.230 MQTT: Connecting to 192.168.2.209:5003
2017-04-06 06:28:07.335 Error: MQTT: disconnected, restarting (rc=2)

after that Sonoff blik twice. What may be wrong ?

Edit:

Understand now , it is added as classic mysensor LAN gateway , now working fine ! I tried to do it complicated way , but it was easy

@Efflon said in Sonoff relay using MySensors ESP8266 wifi or mqtt gateway:

@warmaniac the sonoff works just like any sensor except its configured as a gateway since that is what is needed for esp8266+mysensors . Mqtt or ethernet/wifi is just a matter of taste and your setup, skip mqtt if you don't have anything else using it.

I want to use standalone Sonoff (one device) than I must install broker (Mosquito) on my raspberry where is Domoticz running ? And how can I add than that device or how can this setup looks like.

@Efflon

Can I ask please ? I don't know if I understand correctly principle of working Sonoff under mysensors , I uploaded sketch from here to Sonoff , Sonoff is connected to my WiFi network , now I need to make MQTT gateway connected trought LAN or WiFi to the raspberry where is running Domoticz ? I had nodeMCU will it work ? Thanks much

updated my sketch with new values for SCT-013-00 result is now

@fredok

I had SCT-013-000 , not SCT-013-030 maybe this is the problem of measuring .

@gohan

Because with test sketch from that site I get actual consumption 0,5 kWh but from mysensors sketch I get much higher values look

1,7 kWh per one hour is too much , I had only TV and fridge in power on mode, I had total consumption per last year about 2140 kWh , which is about 6 kWh per day.

@fredok

Okay understand now, and what about calibration for wiring I followig this site

https://learn.openenergymonitor.org/electricity-monitoring/ct-sensors/how-to-build-an-arduino-energy-monitor-measuring-current-only?redirected=true

And they calibrate

 emon1.current(1, 111.1); 

And yours calibration

  emon1.current(PIN_ANALOG_I1, 30.0);

Is some difference after this calibrations in measuring ?

@fredok

Thank you very much! Only one question left, with multimeter I measured my voltage 241.0 V could I update it in sketch or ?

@fredok

sketch works better now , not spamming

but I dont understand current values

@fredok

I modyfied your sketch (deleting unwanted code like dallas and light sensor) it works but i think I done something wrong, because it spams my gateway , now it looks like this

It is possible to compile it with old mysensors library ? It will work with gateway which has a newest version ?

@fredok

hi , do you have please updated sketch for newest version of domoticz ? This old cause problems when I compiling it.

Thanks

@AWI

Thanks , I take a read after I finish in work. But I decided to use ds18b20 sealed version plus standalone humidity sensor , maybe it will be better Then I post some experiences. Maybe you can take a look on my photos too , I like landscapes photos , but sometimes I shooting weddings too www.pinak-art.com

@AWI

I understand but it's mysterious thing , because indoor it works ok , but when I put it outside , readings are not correct , maybe it is not for outdoor usage

@AWI

I had this one, is it OK ? I power it directly from 2xAA batteries, and can operate 1,71 to 3,7 volts as I saw in datasheet .Then you said that is problem of using because it has self heating problem ?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/152306676745

@gogopotato

I had 5 pcs of DHT 11 and 3 pcs of DHT22 and there are seriously piece of sh.. humidity readings was very bad only temperature okay , than if you want to measure only temperature best way is buy waterproof ds18b20 , https://www.ebay.com/itm/112029570094

@gogopotato

I had problem that BME is inaccurate outside , I'm using BME180 and BME 280 both works great inside readings are almost same , but when I put it outside temperature is much higher than real, I compare it with ds18b20 or with my standalone weather station + local weather station , it was almost same but BME is higher about 2 degrees

@bgunnarb

nevermind... but still finding the best way how to wire it and power it. Readings are inaccurate

@gogopotato

Can you please paste your sketch? I found some here but I think is outdated, readings not working properly . Thanks !

@mortommy

YES !!! That's it !!! But it is fatal error , because i use step up booster and when battery goes down , It caused that arduino start / shutdown quickly , it spams my Gateway I must disconnect it .

@bgunnarb

Im looking on PINout of DHT22 you mean pull down resistor from PIN2 to the ground ?

@bgunnarb said in DHT22 - humidity problem:

The capacitor you should use on the Vcc line to the radio, as close to the radio as possible. At least 4.7 uF but anything higher is good. I normally use 10 uF or 22 uF which I have a large supply of.

Yep, on radio I had 10 uF capacitor , radio is OK , but humidity is balancing between real values and stable lower values , I comparing it with standalone meteo station I bought . I try it today and write if it helps. Thanks !

@bgunnarb

Do you know please which capacity should I use for 3.3V battery powering ?

Hi,

I want to ask if somebody had same problem with humidity on DHT22 or DHT11 is same .I'm using it on Arduino UNO and Arduino mini PRO , it was same when I powering it with battery or trought FTDI USB cable , tried from 3.3V , 5V .Temperature was all time ok , look please the screens at the botom . Had 10 pcs DHT11 , 5 pcs DHT22 all was same .

@AWI

if I understand correctly you mean like this ?

void loop() 
{
  debouncer.update();
  // Get the update value
  int value = debouncer.read();

  if (value != oldValue) {
     // Send in the new value
     send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0));
     oldValue = value;
  }
sleep(200);
sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(BUTTON_PIN)-2, CHANGE, 0);
}

Wouldn't be delay(200) doing same function ?

@mortommy

Thanks for you reply !
Apologize me, if I mistaken , but ceramic capacitors in values 100 uF was only SMD? That can't I solder yet.

I don't know if this is correct sketch but now working on interrupts , take a look please

@LastSamurai

I tryied , many times and changes in sketch but im failed, not waking up on interrupts , im not programmer maybe if I know better C langauge. Im using DIGITAL PIN 3 for magnetic sensor input.

@sundberg84

I had barometer BMP180 powered on 2xAA 1,5V , in usage from 1.March 2017 , Start battery power was 85% (not new batteries, before used) and now after 14 days of usage is 84 % , Im very satisfied. Using only without LEDs ,with power regulator on arduino.

@sundberg84

Yep I understand , but I ordered 10 pcs of step up boosters, all gives output voltage 3,7 -3,8V . without regulator is problem ,I think.

@sundberg84

BOTH led was removed , as I said , this HW specs Im using on multiple sensors with sleep function and i dont have any problems with battery. Thanks for recommendation of using modified sketch from motion sensor. Im not expecting to remove voltage regulator because im powering my arduino with stepup booster which can be higher than 3.3 volts .

I'm not having problem with my hardware with other sensors which sleeps every 2 minutes. Same hardware lasts on 1 % battery for 2 weeks , it is good result for me . I only want to know if is better sketch for battery powered door sensor which is based on interrupts wake up from sleep. It will be much better for battery.

Hi there,

I want to ask if somebody had already done a sketch for 2AA 1,5V battery powered arduino with nrf24l01 wireless radio based on interrupt pin detection ? I have done couple of hours searching and trying but I'm not very successful with it. The default sketch on this web https://www.mysensors.org/build/binary drains my batteries powered by power booster after 24 hours to 0,8 volts

In advance, I really appreciate your support in this matter

@boozz

Could you please send me what you mean ?
Something like this ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Zener-Diode-DIP-1-2W-0-5W-2-4V-8-2V-14-Values-Choice-Free-P-P-/262770408086?var=&hash=item3d2e563a96mHD19Qu_1sjnfaWnrsCUbPQ

Will not be generating additional energy consumption?

yep , it works well without step up booster , but when I added it, voltage is too high for radio

@pansen

PIN Configuration :

SOT-89-3

If I understand correctly, It was measured under load , arduino mini pro 3.3V with nrf24l01+ as door sensor.

@pansen
on the chip is written
LA 3.3
17B3S

I measured it on VCC of radio , radio isn't working, alredy tried to add 100 uF capacitor after booster V out , but it not working.

Hi ,

I ordered 5 pcs step up boosters from different sellers on ebay.com

like here http://www.ebay.com/itm/222350595744?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

and the problem is my output voltage which is from 3,75 - 3,83 Volts, tried many types of new batteries 2xAA input voltage was about 3,10 - 3,20 Volts . How can I solve it to have stable about 3.3 Volts .

Thanks much.
