    Hi, I started building this great idea of solar powered soil moisture sensor. Not integrated yet in a solar light as above, but still on my desk. I tested the sensor in salted water and I get a report of 78% moisture : based on your experience, is it normal ? Then I pushed the sensor in a very humid plant pot and read 71%. I would have expected mroe differenc ecompared to salted water. So, would you advise to caliber ? I guess I could modify the calculation formula in the script.. Precisely, is it possible with Mysensor technology and Domoticz to push to a sensor a new setting (for instance to caliber using Domoticz each different sensor) ? And another question.. Is it possible to ask Domoticz to show the result of moisure reading in the Weather or Measures category rather than in the Temperature menu ? br, Ricorico94

    ... this approach seems that work ! #define ACKDELAY 40 //seems 40 millis is a good value bool nodeACK = false; void SendData(byte sensor, byte destination, bool value, bool ack) { msg.setSensor(sensor); msg.setDestination(destination); for(byte i=0; i<=ATTEMPTS; i++){ if(send(msg.set(value),ack)){ Serial.println("Gateway ACK"); // wait(ACKDELAY); if(nodeACK == true){ Serial.println("Node ACK"); nodeACK = false; break;}else{ Serial.println("Node NACK"); } }else{ Serial.println("Gateway NACK"); } wait(ACKDELAY); } } ... in combination with this void receive(const MyMessage &message) { if (message.isAck()){ nodeACK=true; digitalWrite(LED_PINS[message.sensor], message.getBool()? LED_ON:LED_OFF); Serial.println(F("ACK recieved LED Status Changed")); } ... but probably is not the most elegand way! ... because if during the send/ack back message duty cycle, an ack from an other sensor received, a conflict may occure! i do not feel safe! (i also have a feeling that i did that post in the wrong topic! :confused: )

    Esp8266 can still be used as gateway with on board sensors, just in case...

    @TriXwooD RFLink MySensors support is limited, receive mysensors messages only if I am correct. You can ask Stuntteam from RFLink active on domoticz forum for example: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=19435 (seeing double replies, soory, time is wrong on this machine and that screwing up temp files, caches and ceritificates :-)

    I was thinking to have it powered with battery and solar charger but lot can go wrong with this setup, may be best to have it powered via proper power supply, i have ordered sensor and i will build this once i get that delivered and report back, i was thinking to calculate co2 footprint as well for gas usage. @dpcr said in Gas Meter Reading Using a Magnetometer: @pihome I power mine with an adapter as well. This node sends too much information to be battery powered. I was researching solar because the sensor sits outside on the south side of our home but never followed up on it. Maybe for another day.

    @mbj said in Rain sensor: @jumping Unfortunately I had no time to look at anything last week and i will not be able to do it the next cople of weeks because of travelling but I promise it will come. I assume that you also have seen the code for a rain sensor at the Mysensors forum but if not take a look there in the meantime. I know this is a different solution but might be of interest anyhow. No problem :-) thanks

    Just wanted to throw this out there as I was revisiting this post today. This could pretty easily be modified to have a digital display with buttons to adjust temperature, and a 5A solid state relay. This would allow you to completely replace the mechanical thermostat. My thermostat replacement was nearly $40 after shipping, and it's rated at 5A so those 5A relays should work just fine. This would be a cheaper replacement for the mechanical thermostat and would give you better temperature control. Maybe better temp control isn't needed if you're just using for a freezer, but if you're a home brewer and trying to keep fermenters at a constant temperature, this would be very useful. You could even add PID code to it.

    Hi And thanks for the reply, I do have the PT1000 as well as those sensors. The only thing is I am trying to find a use for the PT1000. I have already placed one in my deep freeze and one out door but have several more that I just want to use. It's not the cost as most of the projects on this are cheap, it's the challenge of getting it done. Thanks again, I

    @majic Are you able create the wifi network in all your house? ( wifi bridges on each floor etc? ) If yes, then buy some Sonoff units, flash ESPEasy to them, connect Dallas temperature sensor, plug in to the electricity outlet in each flat and instal Domoticz in your computer. You can see graph data on your computer then.

    ok, some news here: first of all I fixed my issue with the gateway disabling the debug as suggested here. I had anyway some messages lost. Looking at the mqtt broker I couldn't see any message telling me the gw was rebooting and not only messages from gw to sensor were lost also between sensor and gw. I tried to remove the decoupling capacitor and is everything working. thank you
