@BearWithBeard I have upgraded the library V.2.3.2 and it compiles now. :)

Thanks for your help!

Nope, I'm still on 2.2.2

Hello,

when compiling the standard example https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/DimmableLEDActuator/DimmableLEDActuator.ino

on the IDE 1.8.12 :

Return this error :

Can someone help?

Greetings from Switzerland!

Let me share with you a small project I did to monitor the radio-activity and temperature (2 sensors).

The device is installed in my garage and one or the temp. probe is installed in the laundry.

It is built around the following Geiger counter module : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Geiger-counter-dosimeter-kit-assembled-w-SBT11A-tube-iR-USB-Arduino-compat/162946293010

Since I have a RFM69 based network, I got the 3.3V module version.

The tube is an SBT-11a detecting the alpha, beta & gamma radiations and the temp sensors are 2 x 1 wire Dallas DS18B20.

Here the output (Domoticz)

The script is really simple. I used the temp sample https://www.mysensors.org/build/temp
and modified it to push the data to the controller when the geiger counter sends the value to the serial port. To get it working, I had to place the geiger counter in RADLOGGER mode using the IR remote control. Then by adjusting the LOG PERIOD parameters I have defined the frequency at which the counter is pushing the data to the serial port, thus triggering the transmission to the controller (every 5 mn here).

    send(msg_rad.set(str_cpm.toInt()));    // Send to gateway wiLL BE TRIGGERED WHEN VALUE IS RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTER.ADJUST THE TIMEFRAME FROM THE COUNTER WITH IR REMOTE CONTROL.

  
  // Fetch temperatures from Dallas sensors
  sensors.requestTemperatures();


  // query conversion time and sleep until conversion completed
  int16_t conversionTime = sensors.millisToWaitForConversion(sensors.getResolution());
  // sleep() call can be replaced by wait() call if node need to process incoming messages (or if node is repeater)
  wait(conversionTime);

  // Read temperatures and send them to controller
  for (int i = 0; i < numSensors && i < MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) {

    // Fetch and round temperature to one decimal
    float temperature = static_cast<float>(static_cast<int>((getControllerConfig().isMetric ? sensors.getTempCByIndex(i) : sensors.getTempFByIndex(i)) * 10.)) / 10.;

    // Only send data if temperature has changed and no error
#if COMPARE_TEMP == 1
    if (lastTemperature[i] != temperature && temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#else
    if (temperature != -127.00 && temperature != 85.00) {
#endif

      // Send in the new temperature
      send(msg.setSensor(i).set(temperature, 1));
      // Save new temperatures for next compare
      lastTemperature[i] = temperature;
    }
  }
  //sleep(SLEEP_TIME);

   }
}

To code is really not optimised but it works at least :)) Feel free to optimise / share :)

There is another possible approach to work with this counter. It is possible to generate an impulse on an output pin at every tube discharge. This is then possible to read these impulses from the arduino then convert them to the right value (CPM, µSv/h...).

Stay safe !

All the best !

Hello,

Here an update of the original sketch with a small modif to add a buzzer for validating the keypress.

It will beep once for short key press and twice for the long one.

The buzzer is connected on D3 and the beep length can be adjusted in the function.

Your feedback and improvement ideas are welcome.

Best regards,

Jef

Hello,

I have a Strange problem appearing since I have started to upgrade my network from 2.1.1 to 2.2.0

I am using a Domoticz v.3.8153 / Raspbian + a serial GW on NRF.
Some of the devices are communicating to the GW through a repeater node equipped with a nrf24l01 PA LNA since they are just too far from the GW.

Not all of the nodes are upgraded to 2.2.0, some are still running 2.1.1

• the battery level reporting disappeared from all of the connected node (but one is still working : a senserblender micro with the original TempHum sketch)

• The repeater node sometime stopped relaying the connection to the GW (on random time ?). Only thing I found is to restart this node)

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot.

Jef
