Can't refresh sensors

8 years 1 month ago #3132 by Adamyno
I'm using ENC28J60, EasyIoT V0.9 Win
When I made a Dallas 18B20 Temerature sensor and arduino, it works.
Only the one thing: I had to name the parameter: Sensor.Temperature, otherwise it doesn't works.

Now, I try to add a DHT22 sensor. Arduino sends data to server, but It seems to the server does not receive the packages.

Serial output is:
"Lan connected
POST Humidity data to URL: /Api/EasyIoT/Control/Module/Virtual/N20S0/ControlLevel/38.00

Connection closed

"

So that is good with Dallas Sensor:





Serial output:
"Connecting.
Lan connected
POST data to URL: /Api/EasyIoT/Control/Module/Virtual/N6S0/ControlLevel/24.50

Connection closed

"

What could be the problem with DHT? :unsure:

What do you see when you connect to the arduino serial..... Do this to make sure that the DHT is reading Values....

You should see:

Temperature: (then some value)
Humidity: (then some value).

If DHT is not working these will be blank.

You can "force" you code to make sure its reading the DHT sensor by adding the following:

In your void loop

do {
delay(2000);
t = dht.readTemperature();
h = dht.readHumidity();
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.println(t);
Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.println(h);
if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
return;
}
} while (t == 85.0 || t == (-127.0));

The 2000 delay at the beginning is more for the cheaper DHT11 sensor as the sensor needs time to stabalise before the read....but leaving it in for the DHT22 wont hurt.

Yes, DHT works. I will see with Wireshark, what happening on the network. I think, my ethernet module is not reliable becouse when I leave it with Dallas temperature sensor, after some minutes or hours it doesnt works. Tomorrow I will have a Raspberry Pi, maybe it will be more reliable the server also. ( that doesn't run any other programs like my win ). So.. lets see what happens :)

I found something. The source code has many strings, what uses more RAM. I use F("String") method to transmit static strings to Flash. Before I had 72% used of RAM, after now it is only 63%, so the remaining is free for variables. It is true for Dallas Temp sensor.

With DHT22 I used the same procedure, and the used RAM is 62%. Now it works, but after some minutes the ethernet POST messaging stops. I don't know why. I think that may be due to memory fragmentation. I will try with an Arduino Mega,
I am curious what will happen.

I know what was the problem.
Now I use Uno and Ethernet Shield. I have more more free RAM and it works correctly. The problem is the UIPEthernet library or the ENC28J60 module. In the future I will detect that. Problem solved, but I don't know what is the problem with ENC28J60. There are another librarie(s), I will try.

I see a lot of people on the internet have the same problem with ENC28J60 freezing or stop working over time....
What you can try is to get it to disconnect from the network while it is not updating.... something like ethernet,stop()
I have this on my ESP8266 but that is more to save power.....
When you want to post temp and humidity just call lanconnect again and then drop the connection afterwards with ethernet.stop()

You can also try this library:
