    @gohan That is a novel idea. Never tried it but i would think it should work as long as you can change the value on your controller. it should be simple enough to load the returning value into the sleep variable.

    @Nca78 Yes, I was actually thinking using DIP switch (or even more easy to read thumbwheel switch) to give a unique ID to each node! As soon as I receive the extra radio modules I ordered, I'll test that. @Grubstake I'm afraid you're right! But it's ok to have just a few days of battery life. As I wrote, it might be often disassembled and reassembled.

    If you are going to use a different channel for each network, make sure you have them at least 10 channels apart as I noticed that if they are too close they can still talk to each other

    Hardware signing provide read back protection. If a node is stolen that use software signing, the hmac key will be available to the attacker and the entire network will be compromised. If a personalized atsha device is stolen, the programmed hmac key will still be unavailable to the attacker and the network will remain secure.

    I tried jawbone and mi band 2 together for some weeks and the results were not similar.... So I'm wondering how can we do it accurately if commercial products give different results already

    just to give you background of this, i have rpi based heating systems that i built and its working fine 99% but its all wires system temperature sensors are wired, relay for zone wired, relay for boiler wired, now i want to make this all wireless. to make it wireless i m using mysensors and i have done all ground work done and it all works fine apart from i. relay nodes are very unpredictable ii. if i reboot my wifi router my gateway do not try to re-connect i have to press re-set button to get it connected to wifi. hence i thought what if i have small little screen or tft on gateway that can tell me what is going on. i m testing wifi gateway but probably same goes to Ethernet gateway. Here is my project that i m working on and trying to publish it PiHome

    I did contact postmasters of free.fr with the errors you reported as well as a copy of the email I had receievd on my other email address. They replied to me that they need to receive the email directly from sender so that they can replicate the issue. IN parallel, I'm supposed to send the same email to a second address to let them know of the error. The detailed process to be followed is: resend the same email to my email address (****@free.fr) with nospam@nospam.proxad.net in BCC using the same tools than the "standard" email then send another email to postmaster@proxad.net to let them know the issue detailing in it the sender, the topic and the error messages received. If you're willing to follow that process, of course I'd be happy (and maybe it can be useful for other French people since free.fr is a common email provider). But if you don't, don't worry, I understand you're very busy and you have more exciting things to do. I was thinking trying to do it myself by utsing the email address they mentioned, but I'd miss the BCC recipient.

    @Terrence Thanks! I wasn't aware of it. Not sure yet if I'll be going, but if I do, let's hook up there. Otherwise, let'd do lunch now that you're back from New Mexico.

    Sorry to jump into this duscussion late... I had this issue as well on some linux version. I downloaded it using sudo-apt-get install arduino and It didnt work for me either so I had to manual download it to get it to work. This was about 34-6 months ago though.

    @mfalkvidd Thanks for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure I did not need to worry about the other person being online when I sent a message. Chat will work.

    the C modules are for Compatibility with an older radio module, so they are a bit smaller and a slight different pinout but still the same communication

    If you wan to run all nodes throug one gateway you need NRF24 on all of your devices. Both gateway and sensor nodes. But you only use the Gateway code on the Gateway and sensor code on the rest of them and only the Gateway needs a connection to your WiFi.

    Max speed is 150kbit/s so it's 10 times longer TX time at twice the max current compared to nrf24. That's the moment when the Livolo power supply can reach its limits so it doesn't sound like the right compromise to me. I never had problems while in RX mode.m with nrf24.

    @gohan Sorry, was thinking more of RF strength prog on a laptop, Acrylic or similar is used for wifi, just a thought...
