Widget - Sensor custom buttons

skywatch

It looks like this is sending a string to the node.

If I want to send hex codes, would this be the most suitable way to do it and what should I add to the node to receive this?

For example I could send 0xDB12DA34 as a string and be able to send as a hex code from the node?

Would this work at the node to get the data?

 receive(const MyMessage &message){        
   if (message.type == V_IR_SEND)
   {
    String code = message.getString()
     irsend.sendNEC(code, 32);
   }

Thanks

What I posted will not work, so here is the new code in full.....It compiles, but that doesn't mean it will do what I expect!

My aim is to remove most of the hex code #define statements and have those hex values sent in the button payload of mysensors custom button JSON setup.
This will save memory on the arduino.

I have this working now, but how do I deal with buttons that repeat the code (volume)?

jkandasa

@skywatch You have to release and click again and again. Also, handle the logic in your Arduino sketch.

skywatch

@jkandasa I have thought about that, but it is sooo tedious without a servant to do it for one! - So I will try programming the arduino node to automatically repeat the signal on seeing the command for the first time, then, when volume is as you like it I can send second command that will stop the loop counting up or down. I guess the same would apply to lighting controls that require a button to be held down to dim or brighten lights via IR?

@skywatch

I guess the same would apply to lighting controls that require a button to be held down to dim or brighten lights via IR?

This one may not be performed from the MyController side. Again this should be handled by Arduino sketch. I do not get any idea to implement this one with MyController

skywatch

@jkandasa

I do not get any idea to implement this one with MyController

I have an idea - what about a option to select whether or not to 'repeat' the command on button push (tick box) and then with a variable to define how often the 'message' should be sent per second.

This needs to be achieved with a way to detect a button push and button release.

But not something to take your time away from more important things

jkandasa

@skywatch Kindly create a request on GitHub page, I will work on this when I get time.

Thank you!

skywatch

@jkandasa Thanks - But I am the only one with use for this and it is better for your time to be spent on new MyController instead! I can manage with it how it is for a long time

jkandasa

@skywatch Thank you!

Just an update to show that you guys are awesome.... Here is an image of the current setup...

And in case anyone else is stuck with this type of thing, here is the final fully working code.

I managed to get most of the ir code #define statements off the arduino and instead store them in the button code on the pi, which saves memory on the arduino for future expansion.

And here is the JSON code for the buttons, the hex codes will need to be changed to whatever you need...

@skywatch Awesome!! great sharing. Thank you so much!

skywatch

@jkandasa I've just added the JSON settings for the amp, it was missing in the first post....Opps!

Thank you for making it all possible!
