@Yveaux I don't know because the battery was old when I started to use it. Home made pcb. Report every 30 minutes. No cap on battery. Take a look at this graph. This may be a new battery, don't remember. Has been running since 1/4 2016 [image: 1483800257774-img_3616.png]

@still the compiler will only compile parts that are fit for your hardware and only the parts used will be linked in the final executable.

wdt.h is included on Arduino IDE. This example show how it's work: #include <avr/wdt.h> int counter=0; void setup(){ wdt_disable(); Serial.begin(9600); Serial.println("Starting..."); delay(1000); wdt_enable(WDTO_8S); } void loop(){ wdt_reset(); Serial.println(counter); counter++; if(counter==5){ while(true){} } delay(500); }```

No one? First. I don't have any radio interface... Second, micro pro isn't supported So, When I don't have any radio sensors I just want to send local attached sensor data to the controller. Can I configure the library to just send my data? Or can someone describe how much communication are made with the controller. Are there any more messages rather the presentation and actual data that need to be sent? Any "handshake"?

@hek Please let me know if in v.2.1.0 the ACK is enabled by default for NRF24 or if we may enable/disable it (where?). Also I am interesting about the retain flag management from the gateway toward the mqtt broker: is it possible to manage it? How? Thank you

also found typo V_STATUS missing S_BINARY, S_WATER_QUALITY V_LIGHT missing S_BINARY V_WATT missing S_BINARY, S_RGB_LIGHT, S_RGBW_LIGHT V_PERCENTAGE missing S_COVER V_TEMP missing S_WATER_QUALITY S_HEATER missing V_STATUS, V_HVAC_SETPOINT_HEAT S_HVAC missing V_STATUS, V_TEMP, V_HVAC_SPEED V_HVAC_SETPOINT_COLD is missing

@hek I see. Yes, I have had trouble finding a place to scroll so making it bigger might be bad. Better keep it the way it is.

@Yveaux and i suppose everyone use chinese clone now and then - thats why my SWATCH-DOG tm:dog: is vital to take over this problems. now thats my log for the placement of the node after last sketch update: 2016-12-30 10:48:19.509 MySensors: Node: 254, Sketch Name: circuitar EC H1-2ch WIT 2016-12-30 10:48:19.510 MySensors: Node: 254, Sketch Version: 1.1 WIT = WITH-WTD - cut by domoticz/mysensors if there's another disconnection, i'll post here. well, maybe i'll wait for some of them to prevent spamming.. stay tuned.

@zsakul Try downloading the latest version from github. The master branch will be updated to version 2.1 very soon and I recommend waiting for that. https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/master Once you have updated you should be able to use MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS in your code. I have it working in my device. You could change MY_TRANSPORT_WAIT_READY_MS in the myconfig.h file but if you do it there every node you build will have this setting (which my not be desired).

@mfalkvidd oké, clear! Unfortunate. Guess a couple esp8266 couldn't hurt. 😀

@adil-ch welcome! There is detailed documentation, and lots of it :) But there are probably areas that can be improved as well. Start with the getting started guide. Then continue with the build examples or the api documentation. If you get stuck, just post a question.

Yes, WAN I mean over the internet, because in my "final vision" I want to have conectend more GWs from different buildings to the same controller. So is GW<->controller comunication somehow secured? Or is better to use MQTT? Or there should be always a VPN connection for sure in safety? It is possible to connect multiple Domoticz instances, see https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Setting_up_Device_sharing I have not tried it and I don't know how secure it it but it might be a good solution, but requires a Raspberry Pi or similar in each location. Mqtt gateway with TLS and username+password could be a good solution. VPN or ssh tunnel should work but will require extra hardware (support in router or a raspberry pi in each location). I have one more question - in manual how to make a ethernet GW is an option to choose W5100 or ENC28J60 module. Is there any significant reason why to choose W5100 when its price is almost 2x higher than ENC? Yes. If you value your time at more than 50 cents per hour :) The enc28j seems to be much less stable.

Thanks that's exactly what I need! :)

If it supports ethernet gateway then it's on the same network. Else it's serial gateway and you need to be connected with USB

That's a tough one. There are LED replacement fixtures, but to cover the same area you'd need a very expensive one. MH lamps should not bust easily, so you have to make sure the lamp and the ballast are a match. If the ballast is for a bigger lamp, yours gets an ass whooping every time it starts, dramatically diminishing it's life. For large areas, MH will provide the most efficient way to light the lot up. But make sure the fixture and lamp are a perfect match. There are LED replacements, but those units cost an arm and a leg. Cheaper China alternatives will be more expensive in the long run, because they don't run efficient, and fry a lot because of poor thermal design. My 2¢: get a replacement MH lamp. Maybe adjust your lighting schedule a little to keep the lamps to live longer; less starts per day, and keep lighting hours to a minimum. Good luck!
