After update some GPIO Presence Contacts doesn´t work anymore

---

Hello,

i´ve just update pimatic to v0.9.
Work fine so far but after the update the GPIOPresence Contacts 2 and 3 doesn´t have a funktion anymore…

I need the Contact to control my lights in the house. (If there are on or out) I have set a Relais parallel to the light and switch the 3,3V over the relais.

All other Contacts work. Oly Contact 2 and 3 have no funktion.

I have check the gpios with gpio-readall and the attribute of all are IN and all GPIO´s are wirde with a Pull-Down Resistance.

Have anyone an Idea?

Thank you

@Masterplayer
Did you also update homeduino plugin?

there has been a bug in homeduino
maybe your contact sensor is also affected.

check here https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/2160/contactsensor-doesn-t-change-state

you should update to homeduino 0.9.9 and try again.

Ok, i have updated my homeduino, but i doesn´t use a Contact-Sensor as RF for Homeduino.

My Contact is a wired “Eltako”-contact in my cabinet and there i go from my pi (3,3V) over the contact to my GPIO-Pins. All wired!

Or understand i something wrong?

@Masterplayer we are talking about magnetic door contacts to detect if a door is open or closed.

Later i will try and remove the contact true parameter to see if it works.

sorry! got that wrong!! i totally overread the information that your contact sensors are hardwired to the pi.

which pins exactly do you use on the pi?

no problem.
i use the pins 2- 23.

Other Problem, i have updated pimatic and after that, when i press a button nothing happens.
I have 4 15relais module over 433MHZ and a homeduino with the transmitter. today in the mornig all was ok and after the update nothing happens whenn i press a button (I controll my blinds and lights with the rf-relais).

What happens???

In the Plugins i have debug=yes for the homeduino-plugin

I only make the updates. Now nothing happens anymore, no blind, no light…

Here a detail from my plan.

which version of homeduino plugin are you on?

I´m on 0.9.9 for about 10hours

ok, new situation.
after I removed the contacts back from the pins, and have carried out a restart including Arduino restart does the post again. Can it be due to the pins? What am I doing wrong, and how do you do the query of states with the GPIO?

I have a converter installed with whom I convert 12V to 3.3V and give this parallel from GPIO via the relay contacts on the GPIO with a “pull-down” resistor to ground.

In addition, I get in the daemon.log following error messages:

Error 1

Error 2

Zu Deutsch:

ok, neue Situation.
nachdem ich die Kontakte wieder von den Pins abgenommen habe, und einen restart inklusive Arduino restart durchgeführt habe funktioniert das senden wieder. Kann es an den Pins liegen? Was mache ich da falsch, bzw. wie macht Ihr das abfragen von Zuständen mit den GPIO?

Ich habe einen Converter eingebaut mit dem ich 12V auf 3,3V konvertiere und gebe diese über die Relaiskontakte auf die GPIO mit einem"Pull-Down" Widerstand parallel vom GPIO zum Ground.

Außerdem bekomme ich in der daemon.log folgende Fehlermeldungen:

No one with an Solution or a idea???

@Masterplayer I can try to reproduce the issue. However, I only have a two-relay module with opto-isolators to test with. So, I won’t have exactly the same hardware setup.Your problem description sounds to me like it could be a hardware-related problem. I suppose you’re using the GPIO Pins of the Raspi to drive the relays, right? Please double-check the GPIO pins work as expected using some tool other than pimatic, e.g., using a shell script - see http://luketopia.net/2013/07/28/raspberry-pi-gpio-via-the-shell/

There is also an article describe the advantages of opto-isolated Relays which help to avoid issues with electro-magnetical interference - https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/RelayIsolation.

@mwittig thanks. I use the GPIO to check the status of the Relais. I will post some Photos. Perhaps it explains that better.
i also think i have crushed my first pi some months ago. But i don´t konw why!?

and, @mwittig can you say something to the errors i get in my daemon.log. I have posted the errors above?

regarding your error log the issue is already known and protocolled here
https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/issues/955

how many devices and rules do you use?

I have:

147 Devices
220 variables
135 Rules (4 deactivate)

I haven´t count them till now… and i don´t know if i have counted correctly…

But I think this is another problem than my currently problem with the GPIO´s.
At the moment all seems to work correctly except those GPIO´s…
