Error: MySensors: De time-outperiode van de semafoor is verlopen

[djdehaan]

Hi there,

I have an Arduino (ESP8266 NodeMCU) running MySensor 2.0.0, with 3 Children, all boolean:

Code: Select all

MyMessage Msg_HEART(Sensor_HEART, V_STATUS);
MyMessage Msg_BELL(Sensor_BELL, V_STATUS);
MyMessage Msg_ALARM(Sensor_ALARM, V_STATUS);

void presentation()
{
  sendSketchInfo(PROJECT,VERSION);
  present(Sensor_HEART, S_BINARY);
  present(Sensor_BELL, S_BINARY);
  present(Sensor_ALARM, S_BINARY);
}

etc.
The Arduino is perfectly recognized in Domoticz, and 3 devices show up. 1 of the 3 has a problem: the updates are not coming through; updates from the other two do come through. Now I see the following message in the log:

2016-08-22 20:19:22.709 Error: MySensors: De time-outperiode van de semafoor is verlopen
Translated: the time-out period of the "semafoor" has expired

I have no clue what a Semafoor is in Domotica/Arduino/Windows...
I also cannot find anything relevant about this message and what actually is the problem.
Anyone?

I run Domoticz on Windows 10.

Regards, DJ

Did anyone see this error message before?

After doing some googling for the dutch warning, i see it has something todo with the network.
Maybe you are using mysensors with an ethernet gateway ? Maybe the gateway disconnects ?

[djdehaan]

Yes, I do connect via ethernet. Lowering the request-frequency of the node did prevent this error to show up. That is sort of a solution, but not very satisfactory.

[gizmocuz]

what do you mean 'request frequency' ? Also did you try with myscontroller ?

Thanks, that is a good suggestion.
