mysensors-node shutter device

---

does anyone knows how to send shutter device UP,DOWN,STOP to a mysensors node?

is use the following in my sketch:

  if (message.type == V_UP) {
    Serial.println("opening up covers");

   } 
   else if (message.type == V_DOWN) {
     Serial.println("closing up covers");

   } 
   else if (message.type == V_STOP) {
     Serial.println("stopping covers");

   }

And this roule
if position of dummy-shutter is up then send custom “V_UP” nodeid: “10” sensorid: “0” cmdcode: “1”

This is my node-Output:

read: 0-0-10 s=0,c=1,t=32,pt=0,l=4,sg=0:1
send: 10-10-0-0 s=0,c=1,t=32,pt=0,l=4,sg=0,st=ok:1

no one has a idea?

the rule and code look ok. Are you sure about your node id and sensor id?

Yes node id is correct

I know, the rule doesn’t know V_UP etc.

it only knows:

switch customvalue
            when "V_VAR1"
              type_value = V_VAR1
            when "V_VAR2"
              type_value = V_VAR2
            when "V_VAR3"
              type_value = V_VAR3
            when "V_VAR4"
              type_value = V_VAR4
            when "V_VAR5"
              type_value = V_VAR5
            else
              type_value = V_IR_SEND

You can change this in the mysensors.coffee

when "V_UP"
 type_value = V_UP
when "V_DOWN"
 type_value = V_DOWN
 etc

H,

I am trying to add a roller shutter node as well.
I was trying to add a new node type to the MySensors plugin, i added a device in the device config and added a class that extends env.devices.ShutterController class.
and in the config.json i added a device:
{
“id”: “roller-shutter”,
“name”: “Roller Shutter”,
“class”: “MySensorsRollerShutter”,
“nodeid”: 1,
“sensorid”: 1
}

when i start the pimatic app and the MySensors plugin is compiled i get the following error:
Could not initialize the plugin “mysensors”: configDef must be an object

And that is it i am stuck, can anyone help me in directing me to the source of the error?

Thank,
Dpressle

I am also trying to use the switch node and cannot get it to work (it does work with same hardware and MYSController sending the same code as the plugin says it sends)

My settings are:
“id”: “switch”,
“name”: “Switch”,
“class”: “MySensorsSwitch”,
“nodeid”: 1,
“sensorid”: 1

in the message windows i can see:
debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-1-1 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:0
debug [pimatic-mysensors]: -> Sending 1;1;1;1;2;0

I have no idea what is wrong, did any one made it work?

debug [pimatic-mysensors]: <- I_LOG_MESSAGE 0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-1-1 s=1,c=1,t=2,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,st=fail:0
debug [pimatic-mysensors]: -> Sending 1;1;1;1;2;0

st=fail means the message wasn’t delivered for some reason to the sensor. check here for tips:
http://www.mysensors.org/build/debug

Thanks for the answer, i found my problem, i had no reception for the node where i was working . when i moved the unit closer to the gateway it started to work, that was the only change from the successful test i did.

I now was able to add new sensor type “Shutter” controller that can control roller shutter nodes, the shutter nodes have 3 buttons UP, DOWN and STOP that can control the roller shutters.
the config looks like this:
{
“id”: “roller-shutter”,
“name”: “Roller Shutter”,
“class”: “MySensorsShutter”,
“nodeid”: 2,
“sensorid”: 1
}

from the tests so far its working fine, if any one wants the sketch and or the MySensorsShutter class to add to the MySensors plugin let me know.

Any comments are welcome.

well, if it isn’t too much work to do, i would say go ahead. So all users who are searching for this or a similar solution will be informed accordingly. thx
also feel free to issue a pull requst at the mysensors plugin with your changings.
https://github.com/DheerajKhajuria/pimatic-mysensors

@dpressle please create a pull request. I’m working on auto discovery for pimatic-mysensors (pimatic 0.9) and then i can already add the shutter device to the discovery

@leader21 another problem is that @Dheeraj isn’t very active on the plugin. last version/npm update was 4 months ago.

@Dheeraj if you read this; if you don’t have much time to maintain the plugin, maybe you can add more ‘maintainers’ to the repository?

@sweebee thx for your efforts !
@Dheeraj i would suggest to add at least @sweetpi and @mwittig as co maintainer to the repository and maybe @sweebee (if he wants to) since he’s very active and knows a lot about mysensors. would be nice and very appreciated

@leader21 no problem i will post my sketch here
@sweebee sure i will pull it

@sweebee the development branch does not compile on my machine:
[pimatic] Could not initialize the plugin “mysensors”: Cannot find module ‘serialport’

do you still want me to pull my chnages to development untested???

@dpressle is serialport in pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-mysensors/node_modules/serialport?

Or post the code here so i can test it an implement.

@leader21 sketch for mysensors roller shutters can be found at:
RollerShutter Sketch

It was build for 220V shutters which has a 2 way motor that has 3 wires going into it - neutral and 2 lines for up and down.
i am using 2 relays one normally open to stop/start the motor and other to change the direction, the unit also have 3 buttons up/down/stop.

Please note i did only initial tests and this is still under development so no responsibility from my side here use at your own risk…

If any one want more explanation and picture from the hardware or have any code related questions or suggestion please dont hesitate to raise them here.

At the moment there is no percentage support i am working on this.

Enjoy

@sweebee you were right… i forgot to compile it. it work now, i will issue a pull request, Thanks.

Something weird happened? You created a pull request at my branch and reverted some things in the master from djeerh.

You have to create a pull request at the djeerej branch. Have to emit that it could be weird because he didn’t update everything, we need an updated version of the plugin and that develop further. I’ll try to contact him directly so sweetpi, mwittig or me can become maintainers of the plugin. Looks like djeereh doesn’t have much time.

@sweebee Done
