My Project

@vorowski I'm experimenting with AWS IoT. Will post update if it works.

Finally finished! Here is the post: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4691/low-voltage-whole-house-power-supply

@TheoL I don't really use scenes, as most of what I do with Vera is using PLEG. But yes, that is a good idea. Look for updates that will include alarm setting and my garage door states. I just haven't gotten that far yet!

Nice project. Even though some items are in a language I do not understand, the sketch provided me with a better understanding of the MySensors work. Thank you for making the connection of what I know and what I was having trouble understanding.

@BartE (dutch site.. Even better) thanks for the link. I am looking for the safest way, seeing the this will not be in a quick access location. I want to put it away and only return for update/upgrades. But I will also look into an opto-coupler. Thanks for the tip.:+1:

Wooo, cool to see it live!

Welcome to the MySensors commuinty @chuckyancey ! Which part list are you referring to? The recommended size of the capacitor is 4.7 uF to 470 uF. The exact capacity usually doesn't matter. The capacitor needs to handle the same voltage as the radio, so at least 3.3V. 6V is the most common I think (that's what I use)

Hello, Some pictures of my scene controller inspired by this post ! I modified the original sketch to have two functions: keyboard for my alarm (from key 1 to 9) and scene controller (from key 10 to 16). Thanks @awi for the idea and the original sketch !

To refine your code: Try to use arduino IDEs "Tab"-Function. Add few tabs to organise your code. e.g. Tab "Network" with functions like init_rf() and just call this function from your setup() or before() method. Same with your actual sensors. Consider making an extra tab to put all the relevant functions there. I try to keep my "Main" tab as clean as possible. As I understand your code right your rf95 receiver acts as a gateway to mysensors MyMessage msg(NODE_ID, V_FLOW); // Set's up mesaaging protocol to reciever, lets it know what variables are used MyMessage vmsg(NODE_ID,V_VOLUME); // V_FLOW means that the data being sent is a flowrate, etc. All your Sensor-Nodes who send to your receiver-serial-gateway should have different IDs and your gateway should use these IDs to send the sensor date to your controller. So NODE_ID should be a variable depending on "from which node" you got your sensor date. Have a look at "MyMessage.h" // Setters for building message "on the fly" MyMessage& setType(uint8_t type); MyMessage& setSensor(uint8_t sensor); MyMessage& setDestination(uint8_t destination); You can change the message Sensor (your actual sensor no the gateway) dynamically on your gateway depending on the payload you get and from which sensor.

@petewill @mfalkvidd After looking I have the 168.. I already have some more ordered that are the 328 though. I should have looked closer when I ordered the first batch. Thanks for the help! I figured it was probably something simple I had overlooked on my end.

Thanks. I did not know for sure if this was still the case in 2.0.0. wait(sleepTimer); added at the bottom of loop() function. now lets rewrite the sketch with your library.

Again right.. but the class definition is in the BL_Control.h file (line 47) The reason not to put the logic is that i yust want some sceleton for this kind of physical controller now i don' t have to include write and reads in the class and i can re-use it maybe for a PB dimmer. That off the declaration with the pinmodes is a habbit from the plain C period and assembler adventures with the AVR. There i set my outputs to a safe state before setting the DDR(x) register. As far as i assume the DDR is only relevant when you read the input (or want to do a logic operation on the input/output state. And it is overkill to write this in C++. But for me i consider it as a good excercise. And no i don't have a question I only wanted it to publish so others can steal maybe a idea Cheers,

You're welcome. It was for me also a struggle to get it working.

@csa02221862 they do but when I see the prices of ink and paper it's cheaper to order pcbs online with 24h option and DHL delivery ;)

@afeno said: @mvader said: I have the etekcity ZAP 433 remote & outlets. I just bought a 433 mhz transceiver off ebay and hooked it up to my raspberry pi2 and sniffed the codes. Did you manage to turn on/off the etekcity outlets from the gateway? I would like to do the same on my side... But I don't know too much about radio protocols. Thanks! Yes, i have my gateway in the basement. and then i built a mysensors 433mhz repeater (arduino + NRF radio + 433 transmitter / mysensors) this one is USB powered, stays on full time, it is on the 1st floor.. I control about 7 of the etek city outlets with it. I have to say though, most of my outlets are on the 2nd floor (which is why i put the transmitter on the 1st floor and not in the basement) even with an 433 external antenna, they fail to respond 10-15% of the time, with my z wave devices, they never fail to turn on/off no matter where they are, and with my sensors devices, i can always see/talk no matter where they are.. based on that, if i had to do it again, i would either zwave those or mysensor those devices (which i will probably move to down the road). during the holidays, i controlled another 5-7 etek outlets on the 1st floor, to control holiday lights, tree lights.. etc. all of those were on the 1st floor and generally worked fine.

Hello, All nodes are still working correctly but I still want to replace DHT22. But nothing done for the moment. Not at top position on my todo list ;) David.
