Homeduino How to sense a Button wich is hard wired

---

Hello m8s,
I found out homeduino would give me enough Inputs to sense all the Buttons, but how do i Add Several Homeduinos like 4 via Ethernet and get the Information Across to Pimatic?

I dont clearly understand how it would work if i have a homeduino with IP thisandthat with a Button connected to DigitalInput 1.

If the Button is pressed how does Pimatic get notified that it has been pressed?

Is this possible? and how.

All exaples i found here so far have homeduino connected via USB. This is not what i need. I Need at least 4 homeduinos to sense all my buttons.

Can anyone help here?

Hi @sevensins,

I think this is not what homeduino is made for. As far as I know it’s only possible to use it as USB device at you pimatic RPi. Mainly for 433 Mhz rf-communication, but was added with the possibility to use all pins of the arduino for switches,DHT,…
If you want to have several Arduinos scattered around your house I recommend using MySensors. It uses wireless transmission of data through 2.4 Ghz modules (new alternative options added, but not familiar with these). On the socalled ‘nodes’ you can have any kind of sensors, switches,… which send their data to your gateway (your RPi with 2.4 Ghz module).
Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask

Hi Anduril,
thanks so far but what i want is clearly like the following. Have an ATMEGA 2560 Connected to the Network. The ATMEGA contains the hoemduino Sketch.

Hardwarewise its equipped with an eth-shield and the homedunoshield wich you can buy @ stall.biz. Now what i want is somehow get the info across to pimatic if one pushes a button connected to the homeduno digital IOs. As far as i understadn there are several ways the homeduino speaks to other components.

I plan touse either snmp traps http post get things or RPC Connection through Socket.Io or CCU.Io to get a Logfile or files wich i can then read from within Pimatic to react to variables in rules.

The Question was just if someone alrady did so.

Maybe not So i ll try and fiddle

sorry, its only possible to run one homeduino instance on one pi.
you could use a second pi with a separate homeduino installation and connect that pi to your web. a standalone homeduino is actually not available.
you can try to develop that, would be an interesting feature !
