General Discussion

I'm not sure about Tart, but Grove is an interface for I2C that is used by Seeed studio. With the right connector, it should be easy to make a Grove compatible MySensors node. Adafruit has Stemma and Sparkfun has Qwiic. These are all similar ways to make I2C sensors more plug and play (at least from a hardware perspective).

I turned off the affiliate setup on openhardware when CodeGarage took over the cost of hosting MySensors/OpenHardware.io along with turning off all google ads. The "Buy" functionality on openhardware.io involved alot of manual handling and support. It was not worth the effort. You can still make a donation to @sundberg84 when using his designs. I'm sure he appriciate it. [image: 1769085508704-99017911-478a-449e-8ec1-f55ee103f378-image.png]

Thanks ! Hi, this is a great news for MySensors ! I was testing Blue Pill (stm32f1) with stm32 maple core and display library, and now moving to the stm32duino core : everything is ok, and sleep mode seems promising. I have few Black Pill (stm32f4), waiting for test. The hal library is so complete now !

@nagelc wow, you're right! Last time I had bothered looking, it had been multiple years I think since the last commit. Thanks for saying something - I had no clue!

@tekka Thank you!

Thanks for reporting @Honk @hek has fixed the cert issue now

@OldSurferDude Thanks!

Merry Christmas all!

@Arvie_Mamayson It was fixed a couple of weeks ago. I just tested and works for me

I concur with @TheoL, though I understand the desire to have better control over your interface. The MySensors serial interface is well documented. You might consider MQTT as a transport mechanism. MQTT Explorer allows you to view the data which makes debugging easier. Good luck with your project.

@David-Jenkins Hi, good evening!! I can't find these examples. Can you share the link to the sketches? Thank you so much!

Sorry to necro but, you may be interested to hear that someone published a solution to controlling Neato locally on GitHub. Unfortunately it requires a hardware modification in form of an ESP32 or similar board, but with it you should be able to use your Neato with Home Assistant, for example. I haven't yet tested this myself, but the solution looks worth a look and the instructions seem clear enough. https://github.com/Philip2809/neato-connected As I've received the dreaded shutdown email, I'll be looking into this once I have more time to tinker.

Well it's nice that it can help people who want it. Maybe not all.

I did a grep on the source code and found this snipper #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) || defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP32) // Turn off access point WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); #if defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266) WiFi.hostname(MY_HOSTNAME); #elif defined(MY_GATEWAY_ESP32) WiFi.setHostname(MY_HOSTNAME); #endif #if defined(MY_IP_ADDRESS) WiFi.config(_MQTT_clientIp, _gatewayIp, _subnetIp); #endif /* End of MY_IP_ADDRESS */ (void)WiFi.begin(MY_WIFI_SSID, MY_WIFI_PASSWORD, 0, MY_WIFI_BSSID); #endif MySensors uses the standard ESP libraries for this. So I expect it to work. But you need to provide at least a bit of source code. Right now it's hard to answer your question. Regarding to MySensors: A HTTP hostname can only be set for Gateways that either use Wifi or Ethernet For nodes you can provide a sketchname and that will be seen in your controller. Regarding to static non static IP addresses. I prefer to use DHCP and set that device in my router as a static IP. There I also give it another hostname. So that in case I have to replace my Gateway I can do it all in the router. Hope this helps. But please provide more info on what you're trying to achieve

MySensors is an EXCELLENT project. It allows for complete control over the various sensors. It's extremely simple. Its drawback is that it's open source, so it's unfunded and development is slow, but I don't think there are any better projects than this at the moment.

Are you still able to use the same analog phone plugged into the back of your modem? If so then it has to still use the same protocol, and I don't understand why the analog beacon wouldn't still work. It would just have to be on that same wire, not on the internet side of the modem. The modem is doing all of the translation in that case. Or am I missing something? Did you have to get a new phone to use the new service?
