      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)

            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:
              3982c926-4b20-419c-addb-6180237ef1c4-image.png

              • 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.
                Example:

                  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

                    global:last-edited-by,

                    @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));,

                      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
