    Found a non-blocking library for LED fading so I created 2 new modes. One that randomly fades the colors and one with a pulsating effect for Red color. See the codebender sketch from previous post. What else can we do with a RGB node?

    @BartE said: So the problem is NOT controlling the device, but having the RGBController to startup correctly as child. OK, here's my confusion: you can't have the Arduino plugin AND the RGBW Controller plugin both controlling the RGBW device. By definition, it is a child of the Arduino plugin and all functionality for that child device has to be provided by the parent. Are there, perhaps, some actions defined in the services or implementation file which are not, in fact, implemented by your additional code in the Arduino plugin?

    @Pseudomizer I think you might have a hardware problem, most likely a wiring or powering issue. To clarify terms, a 'node' represents your Arduino. The 'devices' include each sensor (or child devices) attached to the node as well as the node (the parent device) itself. If you have one temp sensor attached to your arduino, you should have two devices show up when you include them. However, the Dallas Temperature sketch works a little differently from most of the other device sketches in that it polls the number of DS18b20 attached before presenting them to the gateway/controller. First it presents the node to the controller: // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller gw.sendSketchInfo("Temperature Sensor", "1.1"); ...and then it counts the dallas sensors and presents each one to the GW/controller: // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors numSensors = sensors.getDeviceCount(); // Present all sensors to controller for (int i=0; i<numSensors && i<MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B20; i++) { gw.present(i, S_TEMP); As you only have the node (parent) being created when you include the node, the sketch apparently could not find any dallas sensors (child devices) when it looks for them or it was unsuccessful when trying to gw.present them. First thing to check is the serial log, what does it say when the node starts up? Does it attempt to gw.present the temp sensor? If not, check your wiring or try a different DS18b20. If it does attempt to present the sensor but fails, you should look at power as a potential problem. Do you have a capacitor on your radio? You could also try adding a short gw.delay in your setup between the device count and gw.present to allow the radio time to recover from presenting the sketch..

    Managed to get the serial gateway back, had something todo with the firmware update. Completed a 3rd restore and the reinstalled the firmware and another restore. Gave up on the Ethernet gateway, couldn't get it to work.

    Solved! It was a hardware problem - I didn't put caps on the radio on the gateway or RGB node originally. I added them and the node added perfectly. I guess I got lucky originally that even the 2 devices appeared on the first try.

    Serial: It probably works just fine, but I've always had a little trouble with serial devices on a Vera. UI7 Latest release: Yes, a disaster, but the previous version is good. ALTUI: Yes, it's excellent. Only difference UI5 vs. UI7 is the aforesaid house modes and the icons are a little different. MySensors plugin: I've modified it to be ALTUI friendly: currently it displays the IP address of the gateway, but I will add number of nodes and sensors - this seemed like the most useful information?

    Ok Solved my gateway is an Ethernet gateway and for debugging I was using USB to power the radio was too underpowered to function properly. Now Inclusion is working! :)

    @korttoma Hey Tomas, thanks! That seems to have worked. I'll update if there is a problem. Other than this issue, I think UI7 is OK for me (testing in one location only :) )

    Well by installing new batteries I was able to re-include the Sensebender board again but with the mother(?) node showing only The last update time and no name, lib, or Ver. After that Vera had an internal issue which I required Micsaverdre to reboot(?) my Vera. I will see when Vera is settled but at this point the old batteries were both at 1.45 volts

    I don't have any experience with iPhone, but I can confirm that the Vera app is horribly slow. When my Vera 3 was on UI5, that app was heaps quicker. I've recently took the plunge and upgraded to UI7, but the app for that is just too slow to be useful I reckon. I have an android phone and use Autovera which is instantaneous. I also have Imperihome running on an android tablet and it too is quick. My experience too is that it has made very little difference between communicating with a zwave switch or a Mysensors switch with regards to speed.

    You can ssh into your vera and shut down the ssh-tunnel it opens. Suggest you to search the Vera forum for more information regarding this.

    'LastUpdate' is included for both nodes and child devices within the device properties under the 'advanced' tab. It is formatted in Unix time but can be converted to date/time with a simple converter. It would be nice to see the converted 'lastupdate' on each device homescreen with UI5. The ImperiHome app converts it to local time date under each device's details screen.

    Same here. I'm probably going to just order a wiznet since that seems to be consistently working for most.
