new devices in Mysensors 1.5

[tbowmo]

Could we get support for the new sensor / variable types, that has been added in Mysensors 1.5?

In particular I'm interested in getting V_RGB, V_RGBW, and V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COLD / V_HVAC_SETPOINT_HEAT to work in domoticz

The two first for LED strips for lightning in my Home theater, and the later for floor heating system, that I'm planing to use mysensors for.

[gizmocuz]

I think the V_RGB and V_RGBW should already work....

i think there is a typo in the 1.5 library, V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COLD does not exists, but V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COOL does

is there a sketch that is using them ?

[tbowmo]

There isn't a sketch for hvac yet, as I'm just preparing it. It's almost a chicken and egg situation

[gizmocuz]

Well... if you can create the chicken, i might be able to support the egg plz send me a PM when your chicken is cooked

[betonishard]

Tested it with 1.5.

Device gets recognized. You can add it as well to your switches section (automatically when you add it)... The lightbulb icon appears...

Receive the error message in the log:
Error: MySensors: Light command received for unknown node_id: 0

Receive an error message when i press the on /off switch (lightbulb icon).
Error sending switch command, check device/hardware


Here is my arduino code:

Code: Select all

// Example sketch showing how to control an RGB Led Strip.
// This example will not remember the last rgb color set after power failure.

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TimerOne.h>
#include "Adafruit_WS2801.h"
#ifdef __AVR_ATtiny85__
 #include <avr/power.h>
#endif

#define node 14  // 
#define strip2 0  // sensor number needed in the custom devices set up
int dataPin = 4;       // 'yellow' wire
int clockPin = 3;      // 'green' wire
Adafruit_WS2801 strip = Adafruit_WS2801(74, dataPin, clockPin);
long RGB_values[3] = {0,0,0};
const float mt = 0.247;
MySensor gw; 

void setup()
{
   Serial.begin(115200); // Not sure why this was included
    // Initialize library and add callback for incoming messages
    gw.begin(incomingMessage, node, true);
    
    // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    gw.sendSketchInfo("RGB Node", "1.0");
    
    // Register the sensor to gw
    gw.present(strip2, S_RGB_LIGHT);
    
// start with 50% CPU usage. up this if the strand flickers or is slow
  
  // Start up the LED counter
  strip.begin();

  // Update the strip, to start they are all 'off'
  strip.show();
    }



void loop()
{
    // Alway process incoming messages whenever possible
    gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
    // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
    if (message.type==V_RGB) {
  // starting to process the hex code
        String hexstring = message.getString(); //here goes the hex color code coming from through MySensors (like FF9A00)
        long number = (long) strtol( &hexstring[0], NULL, 16);
        RGB_values[0] = number >> 16;
        RGB_values[1] = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
        RGB_values[2] = number & 0xFF;

        
        colorWipe(Color(RGB_values[0],RGB_values[1],RGB_values[2]), 30);

        
          }
    }
  
void colorWipe(uint32_t c, uint8_t wait) {
  int i;
  
  for (i=0; i < strip.numPixels(); i++) {
      strip.setPixelColor(i, c);
      strip.show();
      delay(wait);
  }
}

    /* Helper functions */

// Create a 15 bit color value from R,G,B
uint32_t Color(byte r, byte g, byte b)
{
  uint32_t c;
  c = r;
  c <<= 8;
  c |= g;
  c <<= 8;
  c |= b;
  return c;
}

I'm trying to migrate to the 1.5 libraries, but am having an issue compiling (will reinstall)

But, how do you turn on/off this strip ? maybe you also need S_LIGHT ?

Hope to post some positive news here soon, the RGB(W) should create another type of switch in domoticz (like a zwave color device/applamp)

[gizmocuz]

Getting closer:

Light command: 0
read: 0-0-2 s=0,c=1,t=3,pt=0,l=2,sg=0:86
Dim command: 86

The Zipato/Fibaro RGBW/Limitedless/Applamp, have additional commands:
- On
- Off
- Set Level

Is/Will this be supported for S_RGB/S_RGBW too ?

For instance, the sketch can remember the last set RGB/W color
when an V_LIGHT=0 "Off" command is received, it will send #000000 (or cut the power somehow)
when an V_LIGHT=1 "On" command is received, it will use the last set color
when an "V_DIMMER" command is received, it will take the last set color, and dim this (0-100%)

current state in domoticz:
- you will have to add the switch, and press edit to set the color, it will for now always set the level to 100%, for instance, when picking green, it will send #00FF00

This is my test sketch:

Code: Select all

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

#define CHILD_ID_STRIP 0 // sensor number needed in the custom devices set up
MySensor gw;

void setup()
{
   Serial.begin(115200); // Not sure why this was included
    // Initialize library and add callback for incoming messages
    gw.begin(incomingMessage);
   
    // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    gw.sendSketchInfo("RGB Test Node", "1.0");
   
    // Register the sensor to gw
    gw.present(CHILD_ID_STRIP, S_RGB_LIGHT);

    Serial.println("Sketch started...");
}

void loop()
{
    // Alway process incoming messages whenever possible
    gw.process();
}

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
    // We only expect one type of message from controller. But we better check anyway.
    if (message.type==V_RGB) {
        // starting to process the hex code
        String hexstring = message.getString(); //here goes the hex color code coming from through MySensors (like FF9A00)
        Serial.print("RGB command: ");
        Serial.println(hexstring);
    }
    else if (message.type==V_DIMMER) {
        String dimlevel = message.getString(); //0-100%
        Serial.print("Dim command: ");
        Serial.println(dimlevel);
    }
    else if (message.type==V_LIGHT) {
        String lstatus = message.getString(); //1=On, 0=Off
        Serial.print("Light command: ");
        Serial.println(lstatus);
    }
}

Changes are in beta version #2689

[gizmocuz]

Hi,

Thanks for your hard work..
Could we continue using v_light and v_dimmer ?

V_STATUS 2 Binary status. 0=off 1=on
V_LIGHT 2 Deprecated. Alias for V_STATUS.
V_PERCENTAGE 3 Percentage value. 0-100 (%)
V_DIMMER 3 Deprecated. Alias for V_PERCENTAGE. Dimmer value. 0-100 (%)

Ps: serial.begin is included in mysensors, it's useless to put this in sketch

how do you mean deprecated ? V_LIGHT/V_DIMMER are basic sets?

[gizmocuz]

I know what it means, but where did you read that V_LIGHT/V_DIMMER are deprecated?

[gizmocuz]

Okey, so its just a rename

I changed it in the domoticz code

but to your original question, is it working now ?

[gizmocuz]

Okey, you have to upgrade to the latest beta

I also had compile errors, and I figured out I now have to use the latest Arduino IDE

I uninstalled the previous IDE, and removed the folder
then I installed the latest IDE
then I downloaded the 1.5 library, and copied this to the libraries folder of the ardiono ide, and skipped all existing files

then I could build everything again

Plz let me know if all is working well now

[gizmocuz]

sweat, did you implement the on/off, level and write/read the last state in the eprom ?
Maybe you could propose an update to the original mysensors sketch

[gizmocuz]

its because I miss-use the light type AC, which has 16 level (0-15)
would have been better if I miss-used the zwave dimmer type that supports 0-100
but as most kaku devices has 16 levels, would this not be OK?

[gizmocuz]

Correct, see some posts up regarding the level

[gizmocuz]

it does, just tested with the below sketch (you will get a node 254 (FE), make sure accept new hardware is enabled in the settings

[gizmocuz]

the present should already create a device, you do not have to force a send

[gizmocuz]

Thanks for reporting, will be fixed in the next update (very soon)

[gizmocuz]

Please try beta #2760

Hi,

I tried to use a RGBW mysensor with domoticz. It correclty shows up and I can send off/on commands. What I can't do at the moment is change the color. No event seems to reach the sensor (or in this case actor) node when change the color and I can't pick an RGBW value in the web frontend (only RGB). I am using the newest update from the beta channel (2.2826). Any ideas?

[LastSamurai]

Has anyone already used this?
