[Solved] Motion sensor - HCSR501

---

Hi all,
i am new at arduino and pimatic. first of all this is some great work that has been achieved already!!

Now my question: how can i set a rule in pimatic for the sensor?

i have connected the motion sensor to arduino nano and with RF i send the data towards my RaspberryPi.
In Pimatic i receive these two lines when motion is detected:

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: received: [ 756, 1944, 4232, 8560 ] 020102010201020101020102010201020102020101020102020101020201020102010102010202010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201010203

And these two lines when motion is not detected for some time (5 sec)

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: received: [ 748, 1948, 4240, 8564 ] 020102010201020101020102010201020102020101020102020101020201020102010201010202010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020102010201020103

used several plugins to get this working but i do not have the knowledges to understand the data comming towards pimatic.

i also use for rf transmission PimaticProbe.h and added an extra rule

PimaticProbe probe = PimaticProbe(senderPin, codeKit);
row to transmit:
probe.transmit(false , zendwaarde, 1, 6); // ([postive/negative], CounterValue, [type], 6)
(zendwaarde is 0 or 1 : detected or non detected)

In pimatic (debug mode) i receive this line:
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: generic: { id: 1005, type: 0, positive: true, value: 0 }

anyone that can help me out and explain how to implement this in pimatic?

Thanks for helping!

seems your rf code is not recognized by pimatic.
which sketch did you use?

try this one from @sweebee https://github.com/sweebee/Arduino-home-automation/tree/master/433Mhz/Attiny/KAKU_PIR

and you could have a loo here from post 21 downwards: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/182/show-your-hardware/21

Hi @hdewinter ,

you need to define a device in your pimatic config.

    {
      "id": "your_device",
      "name": "Your Device",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFGenericSensor",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "motion",
          "type": 1,
          "label": "Motion"
        }
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "generic",
          "options": {
            "id": 1005
          }
        }
      ]
    },

You should then have a device which you can work with in rules etc.

Hi @Oitzu
i have used your code. I have now an device but the status in Pimatic is unknown.

I used for detection:
probe.transmit(true, zendwaarde, 1, 6); // ([postive/negative], CounterValue, [type], 6)
= **zendwaarde **= 1

and for non detection:
probe.transmit(true, zendwaarde, 1, 6); // ([postive/negative], CounterValue, [type], 6)
= **zendwaarde **= 0

In pimatic i only receive information on the detect. In debug mode i receive both

Motion detected:
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: generic: { id: 1005, type: 1, positive: true, value: 1 }

No motion
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: generic: { id: 1005, type: 1, positive: true, value: 0 }

Any idea what it is i am doing wrong here?

regards
Henk

It works!

i added
"decimals": 0,
“baseValue”: 0

i now receive 1 or 0 (on - off)

thanks for the help @Oitzu
