@sundberg84 said: Im using DomoFence for geofencing and webgui for other. Couldnt get the other app to work with geofence I do have the geofencing in the Domoticz app somewhat working. My test scenario was to have a script that would close my garage door once I left the fence area. The problem I ran into was that when I would come home, it wouldn't register right away that I was inside the fence area, so when I would open my garage door, it would think I was outside the fence area and shut it right away. I think that might be an issue with the phone and not Domoticz.

@Sean-Brockest said: not sure what a node or controller is. I don't care how it works, really. A node would be a MySensors device (arduino with a radio module) with one or more of the following attached; sensor, relay, switch, or something like that. The radio module would talk to a gateway node that is attached to a computer running some kind of controller (Home Automation) software. If this one thing is all you are trying to do and you are not trying to set up other home automation stuff, you shouldn't need the whole MySensors setup. You could probably do this with just an arduino board, 2 DS18B20 temp sensors and a relay module. The only problem in that would be that you would have to program it for a certain temp differential and any hysteresis that you would want in play, and it would be static until you re-programmed the arduino with new values. There would be ways to set it up to be programmed as far as the set temps and the switching, but that would take a lot more hardware such as an LCD screen and some switches for programming. It would also make the arduino code quite a bit more complex.

Start with https://www.mysensors.org/about/network and https://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_20#create-repeating-nodes If you have further questions, just post them here and we'll try to answer.

I have a CVD ZnSe (Chemical Vapor Deposited Zinc Selenide) lens I'm planning to experiment with in this kind of use case. It should work in theory. It bought it for my IR camera, but I've understood it's commonly used in laser cutters.

Thanks @korttoma , that's what I was hoping to hear.

It's me again, sorry that I bother you. I found problem so I just copy definition RF24_PA_LEVEL instead of MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL regards,

@sundberg84 As far as I understand by looking at the code you have sensor on the same node which is requesting the pulse count from the GW?? OR you have reed switch on this node and sensor is on some other node? In the debug prints do you see a READ message in the serial monitor for your node which has reed switch? With me, I am sending the request() from node 1 to node 2. I can see SEND message in serial monitor of node 1 and READ message in the serial monitor of GW and also a SEND message in GW serial monitor and READ message in node 2. So the message is reaching node 2 successfully but my node 2 is not sending any reply to that message. So, node 1 is sending to GW, GW is receiving it and sending it to node 2, node 2 is receiving the message but node 2 is not replying. Is this what is supposed to happen? OR node 2 is actually supposed to send a reply back to node 1?

so my 1 message a second is literally like nothing as far as the mysensors RF protocol is concerned. Shouldn't impact at all?

@Spanners what hek means, the channel ID is set compile time. So before uploading to your node. So putting it in before() is currently not an option. What you can do is putting the RF_BASE_RADIO_ID define in a separated include file (.h) and include this file before the other defines in all the sketches. So you only have to update the ID once for all your sketches.

It might be possible to put nodered between the gateways and your controller to aggregate the gateways. I don't know how to do that though.

@mfalkvidd, when you download the library 2.0 and you extract this. There is a folder documentation which is almost empty. But in the meantime I found also a link api on the download location with more info. The sketch did work! Great! Based on this example I can going forward.

:thumbsup: sounds good. The processing power and memory would allow for a (basic) controller functionality.

@NeverDie sounds like mysensors is not your cup of tea then.

@AWI Thanks for the piece of code. Now i can see where i was wrong! Let me run it... this seems to be missing the interrupt part though. I will try using DV on Int2...

hello. Yes you can. I advice you to read this great guide for more infos : https://www.mysensors.org/about/signing
