  What I didn't quite figure out was how it operates independently as a regular light switch. What I find most interesting is that this is 8 years old. There have been some incredible advances in the IoT world in that time. I was about to do a similar thing which morphed into an ESP-12F then added a touch screen. I call it the Universal Light Switch Imagine this: All the switches are identical. Any switch can easily be configured to control up to five devices ... and then changed, on-the-fly, to control a different set of devices. My design is part of a system that would require a controller (eg. Home Assistant), an MQTT broker, and receiving modules in the devices being switched. It's WiFI which assumes an access point. The DIY ULS is under $20 and the off-the-shelf receiving modules are under $10. (About the cost of a non-networked dimmer switch) If one doesn't have the controller and MQTT broker, they can run on an old (5 years?) computer (which is cheaper than an old RasberryPi). This project is a good one! OSD

  Hi all, After 2 years I restarted working my Home sensors and my MySensors projects. I want to create some PCB and decided to start working with KiCAT. I'm using version 5.1 and was able to import libraries and assign 3d shapes to MySensor components. However, the MySensors 3d shapes look to be wrong. Their size is too big when compared with KiCAT standard components. Has anyone of you gone through this issue? Any workaround? Thanks in advance.

  Hi2All! Surprising is here. After about 24hours I refresh HA and suddenly my motion sensor was integrated. There is also second entity > battery : 0 , have to look deeper into that for understanding. Need to change little in the sketch, because don't want every short time 'no movement' so only when there is motion and maybe once a hour indication sensor is alive. Meantime I found 3 other good threats: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/11200/finally-progress-evidence-based-radio-testing-method-and-capacitors https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1664/which-are-the-best-nrf24l01-modules/27 https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9550/build-a-reliable-power-supply-chain Very usefull for me also finally progress because of lacking time in the past. Great jobs are done here! Thanks for this all of you guys or girls!

  If you're here, I'm not going to preach to the choir about HA's arcane ways. This works for me Stop mysgw Using MQTT Explorer, remove from the topics mysensors_out and mysensors_in all vestiges of the node that is to be deleted In Home Assistant (HA) delete the device Settings Devices and Services Under MySensor, click on n Devices Click on the device you want to delete. Click DELETE One can use use Studio Code Server to note that the device has been deleted IMPORTANT! reboot Home Assistant While HA is rebooting, make the changes to the code of your device When you are satisfied with the changes and after HA has completely rebooted, disconnect your device from power. Start mysgw Apply power to your device
