Frustrated Newbie - Help with Nodes and Sensors
-
First of all, I like to thank jKandasa and the rest of the gang for the terrific work you are doing here. May all your toil not be in vane.
I have recently stumbled upon your work while trying to venture into the world of IoT and MySensors. I have created a MySensors Gateway using an Arduino Nano on a PCB it runs fine. I have also made another project (Water sprinkler with 8 valves) I saw on Mysensors forum to server as a node or sensor. To tie them all up, I have downloaded and installed the latest version of MyContrller on Windows. All went well, and when I run Mycontroller I can see it show that my Gateway is properly connected. but that's where my problems begin.
I have been unable to get the nodes and sensors to connect to the MyController. I have tried to Auto fetch nodes and sensors without any luck. I looked in the logfile and cant seem to understand what to look out for - it only says the hand shake disconnected intermittently. How do I proceed? I am so frustrated at the moment.

Hi Emenike,
Welcome to the forum!,
Lets start at the beginning...
The gateway and the sensors need to connect on the mysensors layer first... the mycontroller software works on to of that... so back to basic.- you say your gateway works fine... I assume you use a com port to grab the data, if you look at that serial port and monitor the traffic from your mysensors network what data do you see?.. (try i.e. putty to catch the data from your com port)
So you need to confirm first if the mysensors stuff is working before you start digging into the logs of mycontroller.....

@tag Thanks Tag,
I hooked up the MySensors Gateway - I can say its working well cos it says0;255;3;0;9;0 MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNGA---,VER=2.3.0 0;255;3;0;9;4 TSM:INIT 0;255;3;0;9;6 TSF:WUR:MS=0 0;255;3;0;9;14 TSM:INIT:TSP OK 0;255;3;0;9;17 TSM:INIT:GW MODE 0;255;3;0;9;20 TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0 0;255;3;0;9;23 MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED 0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete. 0;255;0;0;18;2.3.0 0;255;3;0;9;28 MCO:BGN:STP 0;255;3;0;9;34 MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1but I have also downloaded Putty and I will check COM 5 to see if I can pull out any meaningful data. But does this serial feedback say it all? can you make any sense of the above feedback?

@emenike Can you post your gateway configuration page screenshot? (
Resources >> Gateways >> Select your gateway >> Actions >> Edit, take a screenshot).
Also post MyController version details? (Status >> About) -
-

@emenike Thanks for the screenshot, Looks like you have configured everything properly. Are you using custom baud rate
38400? the default one is115200.Can you try with 1.4 SNAPSHOT version? It has some fixes for serial issues.
Also, I see gateway status 4 days ago? How did you connect COM5(for debugging via putty) without disabling it in MyController? make sure your COM port should be available only for one consumer. If you want to access your COM port from another service, first disable the gateway in MyController, then use it in your service like putty, latter close all the consumers and enable it in MyController. When you plug out your Arduino board hardly from the computer without disabling it in MyControllerr, COM port name may change.
-
Great! thx for the log, now the cool kids from mysensors build a log parser so you can see in human readable form what is happening check it here: www.mysensors.org/build/parser
from the log it seems that the gateways is starting up correctly,
-
@jkandasa Wow what can I say... I changed baud rate to 38400 because I saw that baud rate in the mysensors log... I have reverted to 115200 but the gateway no longer starts up right. Before I download and install the 1.4 SNAPSHOT version, can you please answer the following questions for me please....
I thought both MySensors Serial Gateway and MyController have to be on the same COM port to talk to each other. so I set them up for COM5. but from your comment I guess I am wrong, so I have changed the MyController Gateway to COM8 and left the Serial Gateway at COM5, I have reloaded and reloaded but problem now Is that I can not get the MyController Gateway to start up. See Screen shot.
Question now is, what am I doing wrong? Does this certificate error matter at this point? Please be patient with me.
-
@tag Thanks Tag, I looked in to the Phaser - sure this will help me some day, but for now, everything still looks hazy. apart from the fact that the phaser puts everything in a table, I can still hardly make sense of each column and what syntax and numbers mean. Is there a place one can read that up?
-
@emenike I guess I confused you more
MyController and MySensors gateway should be on the same port.
Can you post your Arduino node gateway sketch? -
@jkandasa okay, so should l revert and put both on the same port and baud rate?
-
@jkandasa Here is the sketch for the sprinkler project that Should serve as sensor (node)
/* MySprinkler for MySensors Arduino Multi-Zone Sprinkler Control May 31, 2015 *** Version 2.0 *** Upgraded to http://MySensors.org version 1.4.1 *** Expanded for up to 16 Valves *** Setup for active low relay board or comment out #define ACTIVE_LOW to switch to active high *** Switch to bitshift method vs byte arrays *** Changed RUN_ALL_ZONES Vera device to 0 (was highest valve) *** Added optional LCD display featuring remaining time, date last ran & current time *** Features 'raindrop' and 'clock' icons which indicate sensor is updating valve data and clock respectively *** Added single pushbutton menu to manually select which program to run (All Zones or a Single Zone) *** Added option of naming your Zones programmatically or with Vera (V_VAR3 used to store names) Utilizing your Vera home automation controller and the MySensors.org gateway you can control up to a sixteen zone irrigation system with only three digital pins. This sketch will create NUMBER_OF_VALVES + 1 devices on your Vera controller This sketch features the following: * Allows you to cycle through All zones (RUN_ALL_ZONES) or individual zone (RUN_SINGLE_ZONE) control. * Use the 0th controller to activate RUN_ALL_ZONES (each zone in numeric sequence 1 to n) using Variable1 as the "ON" time in minutes in each of the vera devices created. * Use the individual zone controller to activate a single zone. This feature uses Variable2 as the "ON" time for each individual device/zone. * Connect according to pinout below and uses Shift Registers as to allow the MySensors standard radio configuration and still leave available digital pins * Turning on any zone will stop the current process and begin that particular process. * Turning off any zone will stop the current process and turn off all zones. * To push your new time intervals for your zones, simply change the variable on your Vera and your arduino will call to Vera once a minute and update accordingly.

Populate data accordingly with whole minutes for the RUN_ALL_ZONES routine (Variable1) and the RUN_SINGLE_ZONE routines (Variable 2). The values entered for times may be zero and you may use the defaulet zone names by leaving Variable3 blank. * Once you have entered values for each zone and each variable, save the settings by pressing the red save button on your Vera. * Restart your arduino; verify the settings are loaded into your arduino with the serial monitor; the array will be printed on the serial monitor. * Your arduino should slow-flash, indicating that it is in ready mode. * There are multiple debug serial prints that can be monitored to assure that it is operating properly. * ***THIS SHOULD NO LONGER BE NEEDED*** The standard MySensors library now works. https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads for the I2C library, or use yours Contributed by Jim (BulldogLowell@gmail.com) with much contribution from Pete (pete.will@mysensors.org) and is released to the public domain Open LCD Code Contributted by Eme Eleonu (emenike@eleonu.com http://tantibloblow.blogspot.com) Command cheat sheet: ASCII / DEC / HEX '|' / 124 / 0x7C - Put into setting mode Ctrl+c / 3 / 0x03 - Change width to 20 Ctrl+d / 4 / 0x04 - Change width to 16 Ctrl+e / 5 / 0x05 - Change lines to 4 Ctrl+f / 6 / 0x06 - Change lines to 2 Ctrl+g / 7 / 0x07 - Change lines to 1 Ctrl+h / 8 / 0x08 - Software reset of the system Ctrl+i / 9 / 0x09 - Enable/disable splash screen Ctrl+j / 10 / 0x0A - Save currently displayed text as splash Ctrl+k / 11 / 0x0B - Change baud to 2400bps Ctrl+l / 12 / 0x0C - Change baud to 4800bps Ctrl+m / 13 / 0x0D - Change baud to 9600bps Ctrl+n / 14 / 0x0E - Change baud to 14400bps Ctrl+o / 15 / 0x0F - Change baud to 19200bps Ctrl+p / 16 / 0x10 - Change baud to 38400bps Ctrl+q / 17 / 0x11 - Change baud to 57600bps Ctrl+r / 18 / 0x12 - Change baud to 115200bps Ctrl+s / 19 / 0x13 - Change baud to 230400bps Ctrl+t / 20 / 0x14 - Change baud to 460800bps Ctrl+u / 21 / 0x15 - Change baud to 921600bps Ctrl+v / 22 / 0x16 - Change baud to 1000000bps Ctrl+w / 23 / 0x17 - Change baud to 1200bps Ctrl+x / 24 / 0x18 - Change the contrast.

@emenike Thank you for the sketch, Yes, you should keep both MySensors and MyController(Gateway) on the same port. Regards baud rate, I want to see your gateway sketch. Can you share your gateway sketch?

@jkandasa My Gateway is the no same as the tutorial on MySensors… I didn't change anything. Or should I?
/** * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes. * * Created by Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@mysensors.org> * Copyright (C) 2013-2015 Sensnology AB * Full contributor list: https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/graphs/contributors * * Documentation: http://www.mysensors.org * Support Forum: http://forum.mysensors.org * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. * ******************************* * * DESCRIPTION * The ArduinoGateway prints data received from sensors on the serial link. * The gateway accepts input on serial which will be sent out on radio network. * * The GW code is designed for Arduino Nano 328p / 16MHz * * Wire connections (OPTIONAL): * - Inclusion button should be connected between digital pin 3 and GND * - RX/TX/ERR leds need to be connected between +5V (anode) and digital pin 6/5/4 with resistor 270-330R in a series * * LEDs (OPTIONAL): * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message received. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation received * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or receive crc error * */ #include <SPI.h> // Enable debug prints to serial monitor #define MY_DEBUG // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 //#define MY_RADIO_NRF5_ESB //#define MY_RADIO_RFM69 //#define MY_RADIO_RFM95 // Set LOW transmit power level as default, if you have an amplified NRF-module and // power your radio separately with a good regulator you can turn up PA level. #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_LOW // Enable serial gateway #define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL // Define a lower baud rate for Arduinos running on 8 MHz (Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V & SenseBender) #if F_CPU == 8000000L //#define MY_BAUD_RATE 38400 #define MY_BAUD_RATE 115200 #endif // Enable inclusion mode #define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_FEATURE // Enable Inclusion mode button on gateway //#define MY_INCLUSION_BUTTON_FEATURE // Inverses behavior of inclusion button (if using external pullup) //#define MY_INCLUSION_BUTTON_EXTERNAL_PULLUP // Set inclusion mode duration (in seconds) #define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_DURATION 60 // Digital pin used for inclusion mode button //#define MY_INCLUSION_MODE_BUTTON_PIN 3 // Set blinking period #define MY_DEFAULT_LED_BLINK_PERIOD 300 // Inverses the behavior of leds //#define MY_WITH_LEDS_BLINKING_INVERSE // Flash leds on rx/tx/err // Uncomment to override default HW configurations //#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 4 // Error led pin //#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN 6 // Receive led pin //#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN 5 // the PCB, on board LED #include <MySensors.h> void setup() { // Setup locally attached sensors } void presentation() { // Present locally attached sensors } void loop() { // Send locally attached sensor data here } -
@jkandasa Okay I have reverted to Com 5 for both MySensors Gateway and Com5 for Mycontroller. I restarted the controller and I was able to connect successfully. Phew!
That's done, you still didn't say if the certificate error has a role to play. I have connected the sprinkler package to an external power and I am running Putty on the side to listen to Com5 No cheese...

@emenike Now your sketch configuration and MyController gateway configuration looks similar.
The only thing, you should not open COM5 in any service(putty, etc.,) when you enabled in MyController.Follows these steps,
- Disable Gateway in MyController
- Close your putty and other services, which is listening to the serial port
- Disconnect your hardware(MySensors gateway) from the computer
- Reconnect your hardware again to the computer
- make sure your MySensors gateway is available in COM5
- Enable your gateway in MyController
- Now you should see the nodes in your MyController, if not try to run discover on MyController's discover page.
you still didn't say if the certificate error has a role to play
Certificate error is completely different than this issue. Some tutorial, You may not worry about this.

@jkandasa Wow! That really helped, I was able to not only connect to the MyController Gateway, but two Nodes discovered and Nine sensors discovered. Thanks @jkandasa you never know how hard I tried. all along, connecting and disconnecting Arduino and Putty intermittently without knowing that I was disturbing the line. see what it now looks like.
So can I continue troubleshooting my problems with this tread or should I create a new one?
