Homeduino didn´t receive a 433 Mhz signal

shgmongo

Hi,

I have installed pimatic and homeduino with this Link. But I didn´t receive a signal. In the log messages isn´t an error.
The homeduino TX led flashed when I send a signal, but Pimatic didn´t discover a device.

The receiver is working, because I have tested it with pilight.

Has anybody an idea what wrong with my configuration.

Did you enable the “debug” property for the “homeduino” plugin? If not, please do so by setting or adding "debug": true. Following this, you should be able to receive homeduino debug messages in the log. This will also show messages homeduino picked up but which do not match a known device protocol.

Please also let me know which receiver you’re using and make sure you have read the following posts:

@mwittig is it possible to set debug = true as default value to homeduino?
there are many questions on that.

Oh. it is already the case. I wasn’t aware of this.

@shgmongo
which RF device do you want to switch or receive?
the installation procedure from your above link is still actual.

I also have the problem that i see no debug data vom 433 receiver with homeduino plugin.
I have a new pi 3 with a fresh pimatic installation 0.9. The 433 receiver received data with 433Utils without problems. It’s probably a bug in homeduino plugin? Anybody ideas?

@christoph.ch do you have your wiring correct because if correct, 433utils cant be used. It doesnt use the same gpio pins.

@mwittig

I use the cheap one bit with an antenna. For training the receiver the distance between transmitter and receiver is lower than 50 cm.
With this configuration I could receive transmitter datas for pilight. I did the installation exactly as described in the posts.
As I mentioned above, the homeduino TX led flashes when I press a button on my transmitter.

And I don´t get any error in the log messages. Debug is activeted.

@shgmongo just to be sure, your pimatic, homeduino plugin and mobile-frontend are up to date?

I’m running the latest Pimatic 0.9.x version and Homeduino plugin on a Raspberry 3 as well and I have no problems whatsoever with receiving 433mhz signals through the debug scenario as described.

What may be the problem (although I doubt this is it) is that although you did set ‘debug = true’ for the Homeduino plugin, you may have forgotten to set ‘enableReceiving = true’ in the plugin settings OR you forgot to set the correct log level to display. By default, the view on the messages-page does not display the debug messages.

@Gleno0h

How can I make sure that everythig is up to date.

@shgmongo on the gui open the menu and go to updates. Same menu as where you log out.

Dom

Hi!

I had the same problem myself and solved it by adding in the config.json in the homeduino section:

  "enableReceiving": true,
  "debug": true

working config looks like this:

{
      "plugin": "homeduino",
      "driver": "serialport",
      "driverOptions": {
        "serialDevice": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
        "baudrate": 115200
      },
      "receiverPin": 0,
      "transmitterPin": 4,
      "enableReceiving": true,
      "debug": true
    }

christoph.ch

@Dom thx, it works fine

shgmongo

@Gleno0h

I have updated the system and added the lines from Dom to my config. It still doesn´t work and I don´t know why.
How can I try it step by step to see where my problem is.

Gleno0h

@shgmongo well, you stated that with pilight it worked. So the receiver isnt broken.

If everything is updated, make sure you have the correct wiring.

shgmongo

@Gleno0h

I checked the wiring twice. It´s connectet like here.
I got the following error message, when I start pimatic, maybe that´s the reason:
error [pimatic]: 404 - {}

@shgmongo thats a weird error. You do have a config.json in the pimatic-app folder, right? Any more lines with errors?

Since when did you get that error cause i didnt see you talk about any errors…
Can you make a picture of your wiring?

Also post your config.json(use code tag)

shgmongo

@Gleno0h

Maybe the error is the problem. I installed some plugins but I cann´t run any of them, for example the wheater or the sunset. I installed as it is shown in this description

My wiring is:
Transmitter Gnd ->Gnd
Transmitter DATA ->D2
Transmitter VCC -> 5V

@shgmongo
Lets try to get pimatic starting first…
You have a typo. It is weather, not wheather

{
      "plugin": "wheather", <==== change to weather
      "active": true
    },

Does pimatic run now? Please post log from start. Full log please
