Troubleshooting

@fhenryco This appears to be a domoticz problem.. So it will not be solved by using a newer mysensors library.

@jwoods Thanks for the feedback :) problem could be either the atmega or the Si7021 chip on board the micro.. But hard to figure out without access to a scope.. (Btw. you have checked the board for solder bridges etc, right?)

What the f...... hell ! I have found the problem :-). It comes from the 'static' keyword while declaring the Device derivated object in Devices.h ! I'm happy but I don't know why this new compiler forbids this... See you for next adventures ;-)

@Yveaux I'm using the latest 2.1.1 . The retriggering is possible to handle in the code and all seems possible to run on batteries so I am happy.

@sama, I had similar problems, always with relay nodes. The solution that has worked 100% of the time for me is to add a delay(100) as described by @kk02067 at the end of the forum thread of the same name: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4987/error-sending-switch-command-check-device-hardware Don't know if this will solve your problem, but worth a try.

SOLVED I added delay(1000); here resend((lastCounterMsg.set(hwRainVolume,2)),10); delay(1000); }

@scalz very thank you :pray:

@Nicklas-Starkel nice to hear! We are constantly trying to improve the performance in various aspects. I think it is @tekka that deserves the credit for increased rf performance as he has done a tremendous work with the drivers.

if you have defined the mac address and nothing else, it should get IP from DHCP. You could also try with Cayenne Mydevices as I did to figure out that the shield wasn't working as it couldn't get dhcp address nor static IP, so I got another one that is still working right now (it is not difficult to find defective w5100 shields especially in the cheap range)

I'm not using that Static Parent, I left as default so it goes to AUTO in the MyConfig.h but at the moment I'm not using any repeater yet

If I remember well there is a function that returns if you are connected or not and if not you can call the initialization to get connection back

@mfalkvidd Ok thanks for your answer. Glad to hear the setup looks ok (almost :) ) and I'll remove the 12V from the VCC and do some testing with 5v power through USB to start with. Thanks :)

It is called "LaCrosse Gateway" You can find the source code here: https://svn.fhem.de/trac/export/HEAD/trunk/fhem/contrib/arduino/36_LaCrosseGateway.zip I have included this gateway in FHEM and receive a weather station sensor from "Technoline" which is sending on 868MHz.

Thanks! Will have a shot at it tonight to try to troubleshoot this.

@LaMB95 the best would be to power the 5V Pro Mini with 5V and the nrf with 3.3V and connect GND from both power sources together.

@DavidZH those use cases are great, and I would really like to see strong support for them in MySensors. Spouse accpetance factor is very important. However, I don't see that testing for a connection to the controller would help any of the use cases. Could you describe how the node would use information about whether the controller recently was available and do different things based on that result?
