hi,

i just started setting up a nodeMCU as homeduino device for my pimatic installtion (running on raspberry pi) and can not get it to work. Before, I had used an arduino mega 2560 (clone) with the same receiver and transmitter hardware, which did work. So maybe somebody can help me out here? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

version: ESPimaticRF v0.0.3
config:
mode: homeduino
receiver pin: 0
transmitter pin: 2 [not using a transmitter atm while testing, but leaving this empty does not solve my problem]
receive action: send to pimatic
transmit action: both
UDP repeat: 1 [was initially on 1, did not change the value]
wifi credentials according to my wifi setup

on pimatic:
plugin homeduino version: homeduino 0.9.11 (loaded, activated)
driver: serialport
serialDevice: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0
[did an ls /dev/serial/by-id on my raspberry pi, this was the only device found]
baudrate: 115200
enable receiving: yes
receiver pin: 0
transmitter pin: 2
enable DSTSensors: no / not activated
dstSearchAddressPin: default / not activated (12)
connectionTimeout: default / not activated (300000)
debug: yes
apikey: otwirsuhlskfjs47rts (example) [i guess this will only be set in the following nodes because i did not have to enter an apikey in the ESPimaticRF homeduino device]

wires:
node 3V -> 433 receiver VCC
node G -> 433 receiver GND
node D0 -> 433 receiver DATA [there are two DATA pins but afaik either one is fit for use]
node microusb -> raspberry pi usb (device see above)

log in pimatic (debug, info, warn, error)

warn [pimatic-homeduino]: Couldn't connect (Serialport not open.), retrying... 2017-05-31 11:00:02
info [pimatic-homeduino]: Connected to homeduino device. 10:50:42

when i restart the nodeMCU i get this input:

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: data: "Receiving **op** pin 0"

11:10:46 debug [pimatic-homeduino]: data: "<myWIFI>
11:10:46 debug [pimatic-homeduino]: data: "~ld
�Connecting to :"

however, pushing buttons on my remote does nothing. no input is registered (according to messages tab in pimatic), device is not triggered.

how is this possible? i have already tried changing receiver pin: 0 to receiver pin: D0, but that does not help either.

i am expecting a new receiver and sender module in the mail today, however, those are 5V, not 3.3V, so i am not sure if i will use them on this module (for now, it is set up as a homeduino device, however, once i receive my additional nodes and receivers/transmitters, i will move my pimatic pi to another room and leave this particular nodeMCU there as a node rather than a homeduino device).

i will cross-post this in the homeduino forums and link to this page. thanks in advance for your support =)

Hi,

I have an odd bug:

When I restart / start pimatic. Sending with the pimaticrf (only one in homeduino mode) works fine. But it doesn't receive any rf messages, no error, simply no receiving.

However, when I restart pimaticrf via the http webinterface, with pimatic running, receiving AND sending is working again!

Anyone with the same problem? It started a while back (about 3 month maybe?) I am using lastest pimaticrf and latest pimatic version. I already changed the gpio pin, the receiver and cables.

Just wanted to share this odd error, maybe there is an easy fix for this. Since I didn't get any error messages with debug enabled, I cannot share any log files..

Hello,
got:

exit status 1
'send_udp' was not declared in this scope

So can´t compile it !

Hello,
after having trouble moving from older homeduino (arduino) now to ESPimaticRF, the problems are back.

23:22:13error [pimatic-homeduino]: [TimeoutError: operation timed out]
23:22:13error [pimatic-homeduino]: TimeoutError: operation timed out
at afterTimeout (/home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/bluebird/js/main/timers.js:11:15)
at null.timeoutTimeout (/home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-homeduino/node_modules/homeduino/node_modules/bluebird/js/main/timers.js:53:9)
at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:92:15)
23:22:13error [pimatic-homeduino]: Couldn't connect to homeduino device: operation timed out.

Still i can receive RF-signals frome node ! At the moment i still don´t know what i can do now because homeduino itself can be reached without any problems.
I have an idea why:
I have another USB to Serial device and this could conflict with the homeduino itself

in /dev/serial/by-id/
The homeduino device is NOT listend ! But it is attached on ttyUSB3 !

Here the list of all devices.

Strange that both devices got exactly the SAME ID !?
Any ideas?
