Mysensors 2.1 on Vera UI7 - unable to create sensor devices

Plugins & Plugin Development Arduino Sensor
1

After moving all my devices from my Vera light UI5 to a Vera Plus with UI7 yesterday I flashed my controller that was working fine on ui5 with the latest mysensors software 2.1.
I created a MySensor plugin device but seem to be unable to enter inclusion mode. A simple light level node is not included.
This is in the log

JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest device: 202 service: urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1 action: StartInclusion <0x7057a520> JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument DeviceNum=202 <0x7057a520> JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument serviceId=urn:upnp-arduino-cc:serviceId:arduino1 <0x7057a520> JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument action=StartInclusion <0x7057a520> luup_log:202: Arduino: Sending: 0;0;3;0;5;1 <0x77270320> <Job ID="19" Name="" Device="202" Created="2017-04-21 22:18:22" Started="2017-04-21 22:18:22" Completed="2017-04-21 22:18:22" Duration="0.1657000" Runtime="0.1329000" Status="Successful" LastNote=""/> <0x77270320> IOPort::Run RecvFailed 131 close 23 <0x6fff7520>

To make sure there was no problem with the gw I built a completely new gw module (uno with 5100 shield) with a diferent IP address and mac address.
Changed ip settings in the vera plugin.
reloaded luup engine.
No errors in lua startup, but still the same problem with inclusion mode.

The debug output from gw seems to be fine:

The goog thing is: Vera IS communicating with the gw.

This is the output after starting inclusion mode from vera gui and powering up a new node (measuring light level).

So the light level node is also talking to the gw!
I assume the problem is on the vera/ plugin side.
The mysensors plugin device on Vera UI7 shows only the plugin version, the line for lib is empty.
I used the latest UI7 branch files for creating the plugin.

Is anyone successfully using a ethernet gw with Mysensors lib 2.1 on Vera UI7?
Any pointers are highly appreciated, thank you.

I couldn’t get it working as well.
With 1.5 under UI7 no problem.

i’m using a 1.5 vera plugin on UI7
with a 2.0 lib gateway (on an rpi)
that is working.

4

@Cor
does 1.5 relate to the mysensors lib version?
@mvader
may I ask which dev branch of the plugin you are using? ui7 I presume.
I wonder if downgrading to 2.0 lib would do the trick

5

my arduino gw was unreliable. so i wanted to move to to a RPI.
i used the 2.0 lib at the time.
I had intended to updated my devices with 2.0 but the 1.5 code seems to be working just fine.
so you know, if aint broke.
thus, since all is well I’ve not moved to the 2.1 code.
my vera plugin says 1.5 and i am on UI7

so yeah maybe try the 2.0 lib and see if that helps, it is working fine for me

comes quite in handy when you have a spare pi lying around :sunglasses:
so I built the pi version of the gateway.
Now I can see both the plugin version and the lib version in the plugin device on Vera.
Alas, there seems to be the same problem with inclusion mode.
Additionally, gw and sensor seem to be unable to communicate.

When I restart the sensor node this is it’s debug output

On the gw side I did the test as suggested, output looked exactly as it should.

When I tried to look at the debug output again I only got

mysgw: accept: Bad file descriptor

I then tried the alternate wiring using the interrupt pin and reconfigured, same result.

yeah looks as you said. i think for faster troubleshooting, you should try posting the mysensors forum. lots of smart ppl over there who can probably fix you up…

will do. thank you!
