I/0 4 interference from Dual Relay

[xsherlock]

hi, I have a simple setup next to the POOL that includes a POE powered Master brick with 4 bricklets.

1)PTC

2)Dual Relay (pool pump, pool lights)

3)Dual Relay (garden light, not used)

4)I/O 4port when I use 2 ports for manual switches for pool pump and pool lights

 

Now the trick is that when I connect my EV charger to the car (10A) that is on the same phase as pool pump. I/O ports will close for a short time as if the button would be pressed. This will start the pool pump and lights.

 

I'm guessing there is some interference from the Dual Relay going into the I/O 4port, but how is that possible? From an OH2 log I can see that i/o 4 putton press takes aboout 200ms, Any ideas how to mitigate such a problem?

How do you detect the button press? Do you use the internal pull-ups from the IO-4 and the button shorts to ground?

 

If that is the case, you might want to add an additional pull-up (perhaps 1k or similar). The internal processor pull-up is specified to be somewhere between 100k and 400k, which might be to little resistance for the interference from the pump?

On I/O 4 I have a button that shorts The pin to board ground. Detection is done by Tinkerforge OpenHAB binding. I do not understand pull-up sugestion. You want me to add a 1Kohm resistor in the button circuit? The interference does happen if the button is  disconected and the I/O4 is simply conneted to the brick without any pin connected.

 

For now I have a rough workaround. Since the interference is shorting the pins for about 200ms. I wrote openhab rule that requires 2 sec button press to enable the pump or lights in Pool. But the problem is still there.
