  @Mishka Very nice work indeed. One question though: I don't see an antenna of any kind built into the PCB. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, or is there none? I do see a connection for an off-board near field antenna, but off-hand I don't see where the antenna is for 2.4Ghz RF. Oh, I see it now. You're using a chip antenna. Got it. Well, now that you've been using it for a while, how is the Raybeacon working out for you?

  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.

  Hello, I'm trying to get the battery level percentage reported but only get battery voltage.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

  @CyborgAndy Glad to hear, that you have published all your fixes and upgrades to GitHub! So we have a current source code base to continue development or for debugging. Thank you for the gateway connection fix! I just upgrade my OH instance from 3.2 to 3.3 and successfully tested your snapshot. Have a nice weekend!

  @vomaxa If you look at my post at the top of this thread (second posting) then all that still really applies. You need to list your requirements and then research until you find a compromise you believe to be the right one for your needs. I also added a creality ender 5 plus a couple of years ago. This has a bigger build volume and is very upgradeable with new control boards from creality and third party vendors as well as having many common components to other printers in the range. Whatever you decide it is a leraning curve and more frustrating than the promotional videos would have you believe. Still it is rewarding to make things that previously you couldn't at home.....
