What is the capacity of this capacitor ?
I have 470 uf 16 volt?
Is that a good one?

No, that's too much.
Put a 1uf to 10uf capacitor. I have 10uf on three nrf24l01+ as most people do working with no probs.

Little off topic: but can't wait for my stuff to arrive. Have a gateway up and running, but received the wrong radio's had the nrf24l01 instead of the plus version. So getting init failed when attached to my nano or pro mini....
But is nice en learning a lot reading this thread

Btw my gateway runs with a 470 uf

I seem to remember some notes on the non + version on the mysensors forum - I think a couple of "DEFINE" statements can be used to get them to work.

Thank you Mararcy,
I'll have a look at it. The new + version is on his way btw.
But why not try to get these working

Hi!


I use the MySensors PulsePower sensor for this:
http://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_power

But what do i have to use for: "#define PULSE_FACTOR 1000 // Nummber of blinks per KWH of your meeter" ?
now i have it set to '10 000'
i use the 'imp/kWh' (and not the 'imp/kvah')

picture:

Spoiler: show

like you can see in the picture there also is marked a "10 000"
but at the bottom of the device (picture) there is: "0.2Wh/imp"
(which results in : 5000 impulses /kwh if im right) so wich one do i have to use?

and have i to modify the value in the domoticz settings under 'settings' --> 'meters/counters' -->'RFXMeter/Counter Dividers:'
'Energy' is now set to "1000". should i change this?

because i have a feeling this isnt working right for now
when turn on the microwave to a "1000W" i see the value of the meter in my domoticz change from "380Watt" to "425Watt" (The 380Watt is because an industrial refrigerator ) but all these values seems to low (well i think so, i don't really know)

do you have suggestions how i should configure my settings? Pulse values?
because even when i modify my 'PULSE_FACTOR' that is now set on '10 000" into "5000" it will still be not correct i think? (it will only double which is still not enough i think? becuase now : Microwave 1000W is from 380 to 425 --> so is 45 watt.. when it would double it would still only be a 90 watt? so there is still factor 10 wrong?

or am i missing something?

thanks!

I'm rather new to my sensors but started building a pulse watermeter. (https://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_water)
It is working and finally sending information to my serial gateway(i.e. Domoticz)

I only run into a few issues (and or questions)

A few times a day I get an unusual reading (like a few cubic in a relative short time.



I presume it's the meter stopping there where the sensors constantly switching between on and off (the digital pin only reports on or off)

Is there a way to work around this issue?

And second regarding the sketch in the beginning the following define is mentioned:
#define SENSOR_INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR-2
And I can't figure out what that means or what it does.

I hope you have some answers.

trying to build the mysensors gateway on a arduino uno...
Get errors..
With the codebenderplugin: And with the ide 1.6.5: Blink i can upload with the codebender...
And blink can i not upload with the ide...Error: Help please...

pffff

I got the gateway....

And i do have 1 motion sensor..
1 probleem the motion stay on motion and there is no motion Is there some setting that i need to change?

Does your motion sensor send an OFF when there is no motion ?
If not, edit the motion sensor and specify an off delay

I try to do that... no succes

I think there is a other problem: Connection reset.....

I just noticed my MySensors stopped working 2 days ago. In the hardware sector of Domoticz Mysensors appears as usual, but it does not show its version (version: ?). When I click on the configured gateway, the two connected sensors do appear (temp + humidity and pressure).

However, the two sensors are no longer updated. I am currently running the latest Domoticz build (4739). I already restarted Domoticz and reconnected the gateway. Unfortunately, no effect. Also tried restarting the Pi

One sensor is directly connected to the Pi running Domoticz, and one is elsewhere. Never had a problem with this..

Any ideas?

I had the same issue
Solved It by using an external power supply for the serial gateway

You could also look at the output of If you are using a RPI or any Linux based system.

Where 0 could also another number depending on the connection of your gateway.
Dat the output give you anything?

cat /dev/ttyUSB1 (which is the right device) shows nothing..

How did you connect de external powersupply to the MySensors Gateway?

Used an external power supply (5volt) connected to a step down converter. Contributed ground to both the ground of the radio as to the aurduino (nano in my case) aurduino is still connect to my pi trough USB.

Tnx.. I ordered a ethernet-module. This will disconnect the gateway from the pi, and allows a dedicated power-supply..

I'm waiting for my ESP to arrive (ESP 12 that is, already have 2 ESP 01 dimmers in my network) to build a wireless gateway

How did you make this dimmers?

@quindor has written a blog about it: http://blog.quindorian.org/2014/12/esp8 ... x.html?m=1

You can also find some discussion on this forum: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 23&p=29800

They work flawlessly https://vimeo.com/156760961

Can somebody help me out a bit?
I want to start using MySensors but i am having a bit of a problem understanding what i have to do.
I have a nano which i want to use as a gateway (not sure if it will be serial or ethernet) and a nano.
There are default sketches which can be used but i do not understand the "define" part.
I think it just adds the files which are mentioned but where should these be located?

You need to add the mysensors library to your arduino environment. The includes refer to this library. It' s all documented on the mysensors.org site.
