    Did you check RX and TX channels? My serial to usb converter has the labels already switched (so I have to connect Rx to Rx and Tx to Tx).

    If you are using the analog output you might be able to remove the lm393 and the pcb it is mounted on entirely. Like I did on my plant monitoring as described in https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2147/office-plant-monitoring/21

    @awi I have one of the X10 switches that I dismantled the other day and the issue with trying to use that is that there is so much circuitry for the X10 portion of the thing that without having a schematic, I wouldn't know exactly what to disconnect to only leave the triac motor control circuit. Also where and how to connect in my galvanic isolation circuit.

    @masterkenobi said: There is also another thing concern me. What if my neighbor also into Mysensors? Will he be able to view all the data from my sensors? How do I secure the nodes? Take a look at https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1021/security-introducing-signing-support-to-mysensors

    Yes. The two power supplies need a common reference, so the grounds need to be connected. BR Jonas

    Does anyone have any opinions of voltages and current through screw terminals? I'm looking around for terminals for AC power, i can get some 3.5mm pitch that handle >250VAC and then other 3.5mm will only handle >100VAC. I know there is different grades of plastic and metal, but can there seriously be that much difference or is this an instance of the manufacturer just covering their backs and i would be fine to use any terminal?

    @the-cosmic-gate That should be a leading edge (Triac based, relatively cheap) or trailing edge (expensive) dimmer I suppose. a leading edge dimmer is discussed in this thread: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3953/4-channel-ac-dimer/2 Is there anyone here that combined a mysensors-sketch with a trailing edge dimmer?
