General Discussion

@Tmaster What I meant by my previous comment was to tap on the Node name to see what sensors were connected - Had you clicked on TANQUE you would have seen a box pop up below giving you all the children to that particular Node with what value was last updated and when, so you could easily have found out all about your mysterious 13 children. At least you have it sorted now, but it pays to do a bit of housekeeping in the sketch setup and Domoticz - eg which of the 6 "Unknown" Nodes is the one you want to next have a look at ? All my Node IDs are set at the Node, and the sketch name labels the Node ID also, the Nodes are named in Domoticz for easy identification. In the sketch my sensors are numbered sequentially and commented on what they are, so naming them in Domoticz becomes very much easier.

i use the simplest boxes that you find,that suface mount with 4 screws and ruber on door. But be carefull with wall mount screws. if you drill the back of the box ,water come in beind this box. so this ones,the scrfew holes are outside the encosure an box is sealed... another tip is drill on bottom for pass cables but put some neutral silicone. hot glue let water come in with time because expansion coeficient is diferent that the plastic box and open gaps [image: 1690364728368-4c9e3f72-078c-46a9-9750-e0f495712c7c-image.png]

Hello@jemish Yes, it is possible to create a smart water level detector for your home water tank using an ultrasonic sensor or a float switch connected to a microcontroller with wireless connectivity.

@TheoL that's not the dimmer's fault a far as I am concerned. It behaves the same way at full brightness. It's just a cheap chinese driver in it.

^^^This. Good point. Maybe do some testing with RadioLib to see whether or not you experience the same problem.

@monte said in Replace 2.4GHz remote controllers: "Mysensors fonctionne selon son propre protocole et ne prend en charge aucun produit commercial" yes the beginning of a track can be useful for you ? https://github.com/Yveaux/NRF24_Sniffer https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/39348/decoding-2-4g-rf-remote-controller

And just to add a clarification, do not modify MyConfig.h. Put the define statement into the sketch for your node (somewhere before line: #include <MySensors.h>), and don't forget to modify your gateway code as well. 0

I will answer myself ;) after some testing done today: How can I change network id for gateway (mysgw)? It is possible to change MY_RFM69_NETWORKID for mysgw by exporting CPPFLAGS variable with the option set before running ./configure: example: export CPPFLAGS='-DMY_RFM69_NETWORKID="101"' ./configure --my-gateway=serial --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-is-rfm69hw --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-port=/dev/ttyUSB-MysGW --my-serial-groupname=dialout make Is it possible to create another RFM69 network on new hardware, just for the test, while my current RFM69 network keeps running on current gateway/controller? As soon as I started another RFM69 gateway (mysgw) on new hw, even with different network id (101), most of the sensors connected to my other (production) gateway running on old hw with default network id (100) stopped communicating... so it seems it is not possible to run multiple RFM69 gateways in the same range (on the same freq).

yes also here (France) there is still some person with the mask, a remnant of the trauma?

@mrhutchinsonmn I'm not an expert on this code and when I get into a situation like yours, I suspect a corrupted file. So I download the MySensors code again. Yeah it's a pain because you have it all configured. To minimize that pain, I create shell script to run the the configure program. I also keep my source files in a different directory from MySensors. When I go to compile the code, I copy the source(s) to the directory(ies) to where "make" expects it(them). Sometimes, for me, I've bolluxed things so badly that I reimage the RPi and really start over! I try to document exactly how to start over. I admit, it's not efficient nor elegant, but I eventually I get a configuration with which I can live. Documenting what I do is key!

I've purchased the family plans for both LastPass and Bitwarden. I'm torn between the two. I've been alternating back and forth between using them and I much prefer LastPass. Family sharing in Lastpass is vastly superior and easier to use. Bitwarden does family sharing in a clunky and disjointed fashion. Family sharing of some sites is especially important to us. My wife is not technical at all and has learned to effectively use Lastpass over the last 12 years. I've not even shown her how Bitwarden works yet, and I know what her response will be.

@NeverDie DipTrace stores all components with the project file, so you can open it on any computer and extract components from Schematic or PCB as a library. Also it automatically saves all project components into design cache, which is immediately accessible as a library with all its functionality.

@mfalkvidd If things go sideways in the "you know where" region of eastern Europe, such that they affect Sweden, feel free to open a thread and ask for help. I'm sure everyone on this forum will do their best to get you any information or other resources you might need to adapt to events as they develop.

@qqlapraline Those are some quick times for assembly! I usually am doing a board with parts they don't stock, so I have only used them for assembly a few times, and not recently, so it's good to hear. @NeverDie I've used JLCPCB a bunch of times now, and I have yet to find an error that affected the board electrically. I've found small things like sloppy printing or some rough edges of the copper, but always small, and like I said, it has yet to cause an issue for me. For prototyping they're really hard to beat.
