@David-M. It has limited sensitivity but enough to detect somebody passing by. The plastic cover is not fully transparent...
OK. Thanks.
I will have to change because in my case, the HC-SR501 does not detect anything
Interesting stuff. I have similar valves and thermostats to control them. It's an older floor heating system where the thermostats are starting to fail. I've been thinking of doing something similar since the thermostats, even ugly ones with just a dial and no lcd cost $50 a piece or something. It really starts to add up after a couple of floors.
@kunall the best recommendation against openhab for me was ugly interface and problems with running it (java). I was using domoticz since early version with own interface on arduino,now I've switched everything for MySensors.
It still lacks some functions but Inwait for further development as even programmers of domoticz start to use MyS hardware :-)
... and also add a decoupling capacitor between radio's VCC and GND pin, in order to smooth the power to radio --- something from 4.7uF to 100uF may be helpful.
I agree, take a look at a better router/firewall. I use pfsense, which can handle any number of WAN connections and run them however you want, failover or load balanced etc.
I'd then run a VPN service to allow reconnect. You could use dynamic DNS to allow you to connect to the dynamic one from the Mobile network.
Well, I have had to put the whole MySensors project on ice for a couple of months due to the fact that I am hardly home.
Hopefully end of spring I will find some time again...

That remote had a wireless thingy.. W
Indeed it was RF based remote control, but it was for X10 protocol and it wasn't compatible with my existing system. There's somewhat painful way to hook x10 to Vera via Raspberry running Mochad driver, but I'm getting rid of x10 altogether.
@box18
It explained on the main site under "Build" section. You need the parts for a serial gateway and motion sensor. If anything is unclear come back here and ask more questions.
I think the comment in the routine
void measureBattery() {
// R1 = 1MOhm, R2 = 220 kOhm
Should be
void measureBattery() {
// R3 = 1MOhm, R2 = 220 kOhm
(R3)
Is it possible to add (comment out) some lines how to calculate the battery percentage and send this via gw.sendBatteryLevel (batteryPcnt)
Great sketch!
