Field Label SensorID and spaghetti

[JeeLet]

the updated tutorial sheet

• an example for the relay is put in picture,
  but it's the same for the door sensor.
  so in red and pink the elements to add.
  in green it's the MySensors sketch that puts them together by itself

• the important part so that the name is not changed

" jkandasa@ you like to use custom name, you should include a label "

ignore_name: true

well the continuation

@jeelet No need to update both name and labels.name, you can use either.

• if you use name, you should add labels.ignore_name: 'true'
• otherwise you can use the labels.name directly

In the Widgets the options arrive at a speed too fast for my little brain, I can follow, but it's superhuman

Here is a picture of the new options: texte du lien

two questions:
what value to write in the

• Timestamp Key (what is it?)
  and the
• Payload

in the SendPayload
the name "true" can be changed ?

• it's how to have a state, a return of state of a button which changes of color.
  Red : default
  Orange : On
  Blue : Off

is there someone who can help you with the Documentation ?
how to set up MyController !

Nice work

(for information, next week I will be absent)

[JeeLet]

my last words may be confusing

the picture idea texte du lien

a button that takes several color states
(an idea of how difficult it is, it's up to you, and there are surely more important things to do)

yes as you are in Widgets it is the right time to do it?

@jeelet

Timestamp Key (what is it?)

Timestamp Key used to display Last Seen in the panel.

Example:

• in field, it can be current.timstamp
• in node, it can be lastSeen

in the SendPayload
the name "true" can be changed ?

Yes, you can send anything you want and your node should support for that value
for buttons use Toggle Switch or Button Switch, gives better intraction

it's how to have a state, a return of state of a button which changes of color.
Red : default
Orange : On
Blue : Off

You can not change the button color in off state. it is applicable only for on state and for now it is linked with UI framework, so supports only four types

is there someone who can help you with the Documentation ?

for now I do not see much contribution from the world. I believe we will get it soon.

(for information, next week I will be absent)

enjoy your time

In MyController, MySensors plugin supports acknowledgement, hence state can not change if there is no acknowledgement received.

In MyController, you can set retry count to reattempt to send the payload again.

hello jkandasa

The Relay Controls with MyC work well.
switch ON/OFF button perfect

I have added to my sketch the function to turn off the relays when the arduino is restarted.
"digitalWrite(PIN_RELAY_1, RELAY_OFF);"

and add also

"send(msg.set(CHILD_ID_RELAY_1==HIGH ? 1 : 0), true);"
to return the information to MyController

But in my widget the status remains ON, while the Relay is OFF

it's an error in my sketch and I have misconfigured my widget ?

Thanks

[jkandasa]

@jeelet in your sketch add wait(300); after send(...)
and seems some error in your msg.set command,

I do not know your sketch, This may not be right solution, hope it should work
send(msg.set(digitalRead(PIN_RELAY_1)==HIGH ? 1 : 0));,

[JeeLet]

yes yes I saw my mistake after posting

Setup ()
send(msg.set(CHILD_ID_RELAY_1?false:true), true);
or
send(msg.set(digitalRead(PIN_RELAY_1)==HIGH ? 1 : 0));

the 2 possibilities work

at reboot of the Arduino it is functional .
the status of my relay changes well
thanks
sorry for the inconvenience

[jkandasa]

@jeelet no problem, good to know that it works for you
