With help from raptorjr in creating the Ethernet part, I've put it together in a combined Serial/Ethernet gateway for MySensors v2.0
Supported Devices:
S_DOOR *
S_MOTION
S_LIGHT / S_BINARY
S_TEMP
S_HUM
S_UV
S_POWER *
S_DISTANCE *
S_LIGHT_LEVEL
S_LOCK *
S_IR *
S_WATER *
S_RGB_LIGHT *
S_GAS *
I_BATTERY_LEVEL *
I_ID_REQUEST
I_INCLUSION_MODE *
* Not tested
This list will be added to as I create support for new devices, if you want a certain device supported please let me know in this thread.
Settings
Device Type (Serial, Ethernet): Default Serial
Ethernet IP address: default 127.0.0.1
Ethernet Port: default 5003
Serial COM Port: default /dev/ttyUSB0
Serial Baud rate: default 115200
Inclusion Mode always on (True/False): Set this to false if you dan't want to add newly found devices to HomeGenie. (default True) Inclusion mode can also be activated from the Gateway (not tested)
Group Subdevices with ID < 10 (True/False): If you want to group multiple sensors within one HomeGenie widget (for example temp/humidity) set this to true and give the Child Sensors an Id below 10. All Child Sensors with an Id of 10 or higher will automatically get a separate HG widget (default True)
If you have an Actuator on a MySensor Node (eg. Switch, Light etc.) it must have it's own widget or HomeGenie cannot send commands to it, there are three options:
- Have the Actuator on its own MySensor Node
- Set 'Group Subdevices with ID < 10' to False
- Set 'Group Subdevices with ID < 10' to True and give the Actuator a ChildId of 10 or higher.
Any Improvements/Remarks greatly appreciated.

I've also created a few custom Sensor types for HomeGenie, to get these to display properly you'll have to edit the homegenie.generic.sensor widget (until hopefully the next version of HG, a pull request has been submitted) you can do this as follows:
- Configure -> Widgets
- open the homegenie.generic.sensor widget
- Click on the Javascript tab
- Scroll down to line 154 and change it to the following:
From this:
if (!ctx.isUnknown) {to this:
if (!ctx.isUnknown || parameter.Name.indexOf("Sensor.") >= 0 ) {- Actions -> Save
You can test it by clicking the Run/Preview button and binding to an existing module.
-
I really didn't do much, but thank you for mentioning me =)
But I will be using and testing it a lot, so I really appreciate all the work you have done. And also the work on new sensors.

Hi mvdarend,
I prepare the update from my serial gateway from 1.4 to 2.0 (to try your app).
Perhaps you already done on your side ... Did you use the sample code "SerialGateway" ?
(the code seams very light than 1.4 ...)
Bye
-

Yes, I started with the Sample code from serial gateway.
(the code seams very light than 1.4 ...)
The 1.4 version written by Haitch is heavily commented and also written in Python which makes the source file larger than my version. (I'm not too good at commenting my code as well as he did)
-
Hi,
I successfully update my serial gateway and my devices still communicate with the gateway (node still in v 1.4), youou !
Now i try again your app, it said "Connected" so that sound good.
But none of my 2 devices appears (teleingo and RGBW) in the module list "HomeAutomation.MySensors" ...
I start again this device to be discover again but no more chance .. Perhaps because not really in your list of compatibility ...
Bye
-
You say the nodes are still running MySensors v1.4? How are you Presenting these nodes? RGB and RGBW didn't exist until version v1.5.4 (and I have no idea what teleingo is)
-
You say the nodes are still running MySensors v1.4?
Yes that right but with my other homeautomation system (dedicated to MySensors), my two devices work still fine.
How are you Presenting these nodes?
What do you means ? I can probably send the log which can permit to see that...
RGB and RGBW didn't exist until version v1.5.4 (and I have no idea what teleingo is)
On my other system, I can use the RGBW by setting value to each color between 0 to 100. So perhaps not recognized as a really RGBW => I will try to update the node too.
Teleinfo (not teleingo) is a French system that permit to plug a mode to the electricity counter to have the electric consumption.
-
In your node sketch you should have a 'Presentation' line that looks like this:
gw.present(Sensor_Id, Sensor_Type);
In version 2.0 you would have S_RGB_LIGHT or S_RGBW_LIGHT for Sensor type, but your node version is 1.4 and RGB and RGBW didn't exist then. I'm curious as to how you're presenting the RGB node (and also the teleinfo node)
But I have to say that I won't be able to support this APP very well in the future, I have decided to use another Home automation system and no longer have HG running.

RGBW present like this (mysensor 1.5 instead 1.4):
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 4-4-0 s=255,c=3,t=11,pt=0,l=4,sg=0:RGBW
4;255;3;0;11;RGBWAnd teleinfo like this (mysensor 1.5.4 instead 1.4):
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 1-1-0 s=1,c=1,t=25,pt=0,l=4,sg=0:BASE
1;1;1;0;25;BASE
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 1-1-0 s=3,c=1,t=26,pt=0,l=4,sg=0:TH..
1;3;1;0;26;TH..
But I have to say that I won't be able to support this APP very well in the future, I have decided to use another Home automation system and no longer have HG running.
So your test on HomeAssistant convince you ?
-
I'm not great at interpreting MySensor messages, but it looks like what you've posted above does not contain a Presentation message.
Here is a breakup of what a message is made up of, it's for version 2.0 but it should be backwards compatible.
https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 (https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20)
As you can see the third value is MessageType, for a message to be a 'Presentation message' the third value must be '0'. In your examples, the values are '3' (Internal) and '1' (Set). The MySensor App that I wrote will ignore these messages as no corresponding module has been created.
Do you have the actual Arduino sketches you wrote?
Sidenote: The MQTT version of MySensors that cptJack created didn't support 'Presentation', this was a limitation of the MQTT gateway itself, in his code a new module was created if an unknown node sent a value.
So your test on HomeAssistant convince you ?
Yes, I'm fully running on HA now. A lot of things in HomeAssistant are not as good as HomeGenie, but it does what I need and it has a slightly better WAF.

Hi mvdarend,
I successfully add the teleinfo node (detected as "sensor"), but RGW is identify as "4" -> Nothing in your code :
4;3;0;0;4;
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 4-4-0 s=5,c=0,t=4,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
4;5;0;0;4;
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 4-4-0 s=6,c=0,t=4,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
4;6;0;0;4;
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:MSG:READ 4-4-0 s=9,c=0,t=4,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
4;9;0;0;4;So i add in your code the case "4" :
case 4: // ???
hgType = "Dimmer";
hgWidget = "homegenie/generic/dimmer";
parameterValue = "S_DIMMER";
break;
i try with RGB too :
case 4: // ???
hgType = "Dimmer";
hgWidget = "homegenie/generic/colorlight";
parameterValue = "S_RGB_LIGHT";
break;
But it doesn't work fine, I have now device in HomeGenie but I can't command my rgbw...Did you have any idea ? Perhaps, i need to have a review of my RGB sketch ...
Bye
-
Your first option was correct, 4 is for S_DIMMER. Because it is an actuator you can best uncheck 'Group Subdevices with ID < 10' which will then make a separate module/widgte for each dimmer you are presenting.
I hadn't fully built in support for dimmers (as I didn't have one at the time) but a start has been made, at line 350 you'll see the following:
var module = Modules.InDomain(_HG_DOMAIN).WithAddress(reqs[1]).Get();
Once HG has got the module it tries to determine what it it, and the follwing line should fire if the module is a dimmer:
else if (reqs[2] == "Control.Level")
{
subType = 3; // V_PERCENTAGE, V_DIMMER
setValue = reqs[3].ToString();
}
It's possible that the value set in setValue is not correct. (For example, HG might be sending 0.5 while the MySensor node expects the value 50) Set a debug line there to see what you're getting from HG, eg:
else if (reqs[2] == "Control.Level")
{
Program.Notify("Control.Level from HG", reqs[3].ToString()); Pause(1);
subType = 3; // V_PERCENTAGE, V_DIMMER
setValue = reqs[3].ToString();
}
That should point you in the right direction.
-
You point me in the good direction :) Thanks a lot !
I succeed switch on/off my several color, by doing this modifications :
--> Add my type :
case 4: // V_DIMMER, V_PERCENTAGE
hgSubType = "Status.Level"; // status.percentage?
break;
--> Update severals value by * 100 :
setValue = "100"; /////{setValue = "100";}setValue = (100 * Convert.ToInt32(reqs[3])).ToString();
--> Changing the send of the command to use serial instead network :
TcpClient.SendMessage(theCommand);Replace by
SerialPort.SendMessage(theCommand);
--> Changing the send of the command to use serial instead network :
Replace this :
subType = 2; //V_STATUS, V_LIGHTby this :
subType = 3; //V_DIMMER
########################################
The ToDo to this program :
- Status update of the level in HG
- Manage set command by serial or network gateway
- Manage SubType more global
-
Changing the send of the command to use serial instead network :
Oops, you've found a bug... It should have looked at the DeviceType variable before senidng, something like this:
// send the message
switch(DeviceType){
case "ethernet":
TcpClient.SendMessage(theCommand);
break;
case "serial":
SerialPort.SendMessage(theCommand);
break;
}
If you (or anyone else) would like to take ownership of the code, please be my guest. I can no longer test any changes so I have no idea if it will work or not.

I don't know what the standard for dimmer values are, if all/most dimmers use 0-1 or 0-100? But otherwise maybe better to change your sketch to handle the conversion?
So that more users can use your updated program, and not everyone need to change the values for their usage.
-
raptorjr, my MySensors script do something like this :
255 * gw.loadState(RED) / 100But it's a generic sketch ...
I do the change in the following script but if in your case : "switch", it doesn't work. I can manage the 2 case.
Can you test with this new one please?

I don't have a dimmer, sorry if I was unclear. Just thought that since you seem to know a little about programming, and mvdarend is leaving HG, it would be nice if your changes was generic so everyone could use the things you added.
But as I said, don't know what ranges that are most common, 0-1 or 0-99?
I will use the MySensors gateway a lot, but at the moment I'm about to move, so all fun electronic projects have been put on hold for a while. But I hope that when the time comes that I can help to debug and test the gateway, and maybe come up with suggestions and add code also.

@nolio
I'm no expert, but when you use f.ex. setValue = "100" for Control.On and Control.Toggle, it feels like your hardcoding things to work with your dimmer? And it wont work with normal light switches or relays? Maybe better to adjust your sketch? 0 and 1 seems more logical for On/Off than 0/100.
I don't know if you are interested in getting a working MySensors gateway or if you just are modifying things to work in your environment? Last option is fine. I'm just looking for someone with the right knowledge to take over after mvdarend =) I'm not at that level yet, but would like to be in the future. But in the meantime we need someone with other MySensor nodes and some developer skills that could help and improve the gateway.
I only have one node with temp, relay and waterflow sensor. So that is the only things I can test at the moment.

I think my method is the good way and no one seams test that ... But perhaps, i do a mistake. So if someone test and comeback with a problem, i can correct that.

I am interest for the both ;) but i am ok with you : First (work for everybody). I already post some HG program on other point in this target :)

Ok that's a good point to know. On my side
- 2 working node : RGBW + TeleInfo
- Node to implement : Motion / Gas / InfraRed (for now IR with LIRC on raspberry pi seams easier to manager)

If you look at the MySensors protocol https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20 (https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_20) they use 0/1 for On/Off for V_STATUS, V_LIGHT. And if this should be some kind of official MySensor gateway for HG maybe it would be smart and try to follow the protocol? Maybe less problem in the future if more user would like to test MySensors and HG.

I add the compatibility to the 2 set command :
- V_STATUS / 2 / Binary status. 0=off 1=on / S_LIGHT, S_DIMMER, S_SPRINKLER, S_HVAC, S_HEATER
- V_PERCENTAGE / 3 / / Percentage value. 0-100 (%) / S_DIMMER
by this type of code :
if (module.IsOfDeviceType("Switch")) {setValue = "1";} //V_STATUS, V_LIGHT
if (module.IsOfDeviceType("Dimmer")) {setValue = "100";} //V_DIMMER
So it's more adaptable :)
Program pull request on github : https://github.com/genielabs/homegenie-packages

Yes, would be nice with this included as a package.
But there is another place where SendMessage is used (line 296) that only use TcpClient and not the SerialPort. Suggest that the switch for Tcp or Serial Send message is moved to it's own function so it is easier to use anywhere in the code and no need to do the switch statement every time.

Funny, I think about that too :)
