Domoticz

Posted: **Monday 26 October 2015 20:58**

After latest upgrades i have new option in mysensors called "settings".
But i cant send commands to my binary outputs anymore.
I can see temperature, lux sensors even motion sensors but binary outputs not responding.
Before upgrade, domoticz was send for example:

Code: Select all

11;1;1;0;2;1
11;1;1;0;2;0

And now i get only error:

Code: Select all

Error sending switch command, check device/hardware !

Any idea?

Domoticz is now using the ACK option when sending out binary commands (lights/switches)
This was a request for a long time, and have also been tested, see

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=7839

i have also tested this with a mysensors switch sketch (and serial debug logging), it should work....

Posted: **Tuesday 27 October 2015 8:53**

Yeah i'm fixed my sketch and now is working...
I'm glad to see this ACK stuff like an option with checkbox in settings -> hardware tab. It's possible?
Are you planning this for another type of messages? For example HVAC setpoints?

It is also done for setpoints and ir codes, basically all SET commands to a node.
What did you fix in the sketch ? this might help others too

Hi,

First thank you all for all the amazing work. I've just started to use domoticz with mysensors on a test environment.

I'm using latest Beta and my switches stopped working returning "Error sending switch command, check device/hardware !" every time I try to change state.

After this i've uploaded the latest GatewaySerial to my arduino UNO thinking that I would fix this (After seeing something about ACK changes). My switches still had the same error.

I've also tried this new change to sketc relaybuttonactuator example trying to define ACK in the present: present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT, "Bedroom light", 1);

I can switch the light with the button and it changes the state on the web interface but when i try to change on the web interface the error returns.

All my other sensors are reporting correct values.

Can you please help me?

Here is a log.

Are youe node on 1.5 ?

Could you post log from GW?

Code: Select all

repeater started

It`s look like you node is repeater. And mb in this case it does not return ACK.
If i don`t mistake mysensors library does not recommend to use repeater as node, atm.

It looks like it is not domoticz issue. Post this on mysensors forum.

Posted: **Wednesday 28 October 2015 14:52**

Thanks.

I will try to remove the repeater and also change present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT, "Bedroom light", 1) to present(CHILD_ID, S_LIGHT, "Bedroom light", true)

Also will move to mysensors forum if not solved

Ok I've removed the repeater.

Gateway response when i press switch button is

(clicking on button once)

Everything works fine. Light status is also updated on domoticz interface.

Clicking on the interface:

And error on web interface

Thanx for answer Gizmocuz, and sorry for long delay... (job related issue).
I'm using rs485 and serial protocoll without gateway. (I hate radio solutions)
But if this can help, i can upload my code to the github. But i need to learn about.

You can find my battle with code here: https://github.com/SQ9MDD/MDD665

And error on web interface

As i can see node get new status and change the state ?
So the problem is only in domoticz error msg ?

it could happen in two cases
1) Deference between send and read on the GW more than 1200 sec. Could measure the time?

2) Another way it is a bug in domoticz. But I don`t see any.

Hi NewFolk, Thanks for all your replies

Node only changes state the first time, and only when it's on ON state. After error on the interface nothing happens.

So the problem is only in domoticz error msg ?

Yes. the button i have attached to the arduino works fine. Even if I unplug gateway from the raspberry, the button works fine. Only have issues on the web interface.

it could happen in two cases
1) Deference between send and read on the GW more than 1200 sec. Could measure the time?

I didn't measure it but It's almost instantly. I'm also testing the node and gateway on the same room to avoid communication issues.

2) Another way it is a bug in domoticz. But I don`t see any.

I will try to re install domoticz and see of the error goes away

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. I wil post an update as soon as I get the domoticz refreshed

I don`t understand you.

When you press button in Domoticz, did node change state ?
If i don`t mistake it should.
GW send - node read - node send (Change here) - GW read.

Gateway:
1)0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-1-3 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:0
4)0;0;3;0;9;read: 3-1-0 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
3;1;1;1;2;0

Node:
2)read: 0-1-3 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
3)send: 3-3-1-0 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=ok:0
Incoming change for sensor:1, New status: 0

Yes. the button i have attached to the arduino works fine. Even if I unplug gateway from the raspberry, the button works fine. Only have issues on the web interface.

That`s strange, node should not work without GW+controller. Except some info in EEPROM

Try to erase EEPROM.

Your case is really strange.

Yes. it's like this. I restart the node and press on the arduino button to switch the relay. Works great. Sometimes the node status is updated in domoticz when i'm pressing arduino button (still trying to find when and what's happening ) and sometimes it doesn't.

Then i try to do the same with web interface.
First time i do it it changes the relay state but when it's going to update the state on the web interface the error is thrown and no update is made on domoticz. After that i can change state on the arduino button but I can't change state on the web interface (in fact i can, i've just have to press the arduino button to match the same state of the web interface and then when i press the button on web interface same thing as described occurs).

I will try to do that later. Still not able to try it out. I've updated domoticz to latest release a few minutes ago and the error is still present.

I will also try to change the MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_LIGHT); to MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_STATUS);

Build Changes:
"- Implemented: MySensors, renamed V_LIGHT to V_STATUS and V_DIMMER to V_PERCENTAGE to be compliant to the 1.5 API "

Posted: **Thursday 29 October 2015 21:53**

Today i've tried to revert the domoticz to stable version. Everything worked as expected.

If i update to Beta, i cannot switch my relays

I think there might be a bug. Can anyone reproduce this bug?

Arduino mysensors: Latest on githug (1.6) (GatewaySerial.ino without modifications on a arduino uno, node with relaywithactuactor.ino example on mysensors folder)
Domoticz: V2.3493

Posted: **Thursday 29 October 2015 22:12**

Even stranger. If i add the relay to a scene i can switch on and off without any issues.

Lua Script can also change them on or off but it does not change the state on DB (i have to press the button attached on my arduino so that the state change can be acknowledge by domoticz and then the script works again)

No error on the log

These are the responses:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.x.x/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=23&switchcmd=On&level=0&passcode=

Gizmocuz you are great!

EDIT:

One question about, how it works?
I'm changing option, setting ack checkbox off then update and see is still true not false.

Second Edit

I can change UseAck field in database manually (0 or 1), but my old node not working still (cant see why because is in my sister house 300km away).
From gui side i can change ack from false to true but from true to false not.
