    @wallyllama Thankyou for your reply. Actually only voltage conversion formula is given in the data sheet , here is the following link for the data sheet : https://www.interlinkelectronics.com/datasheets/Datasheet_FSR.pdf But i again thankyou for your time that you clarified my confusion . :)

    Positioning would be critical, but these sensors always make me think of a sort of automated health diagnostic system. It checks your temperature and reports if you have a fever.

    Nice, I'm working on something similar but of course with MySensors, no success at the moment but I'm not giving up :)

    Open energy monitor is both a commercial product and open source hardware/software, they have pages on using ct clamps. https://learn.openenergymonitor.org/electricity-monitoring/ct-sensors/introduction There is also a commercial product that uses 2 ct clamps and technology derived from speech recognition to analyze the powrer signal to detect what devices are running and even when appliances are gettimg ready to fail. I'd probably own one of these, but I am allergic to clouds.

    @matthewdllh hi, did you have any luck with the strips? I am considering those as well. Can you share the link from where you purchased them? Maybe some more info about the project if you got any success with it? Thanks!

    Hi, I am interested in this as well, I got the old wood boiler and all its smarts is by 220v and thermostats and relays. I would like to interface those signals with Arduino for displaying some of the boilers states and then maybe automate some things afterward. Til now I thought about a lot of 5v chargers, but this module seems to be more compact.

    It seems that moving to last channel all nodes and gateways solved my trouble. In this moment wifi is under heavy load (upload several video from several phones and tablet) and traffic leds never light the infamous red... neither nodes lost their gateway :) :)

    @manutremo interesting results, thanks for sharing. This would probably apply to signed messages as well as FOTA, sine both use the full packet length.

    @NeverDie like I said above, it will be a software based solution, without dependencies to external chips. It may still leverage chipset specific features such as RNGs and crypto accelerators.
