General Discussion

Thank you very much. I did all that and the GW seems happy except for the fact Vera doesn't see the gateway. I get this from my vera. Vera (MySensors plugin : Choose the Serial Port MySensors Plugin[12] : Running Lua Startup I remember having to go in a change the baud rate on the USB port in Vera but I haven't been able to find that again. I've read where nothing has changed in how the gateway talks to Vera. I was running a Nano as my serial gateway. but I saved it just in case and I'm now using a Uno. Vera firmware rev is 1.7.2043. I've also read you can't use a serial gateway with UI7 but my Nano has run fine for 8 months or so. Also is there a writeup of what the Inclusion button does besides return a 1 then 60 sec later a 0. Should this put the Vera in Inclusion Mode? I cleared the eeprom of the Uno.

@Bene Always use google to search on MySensors forum; it's much better than the integrated search. Just add site:mysensors.org to your google query to limit results to this site only, e.g: search vcc

@TheoL Hm yeah I guess that makes sense. The point with the future updates is a good one and I think I will now try to alter the structure in my controller to fit my needs. Thanks for the input!

Ok, thanks. I'll try to find sketch for it

@Petjepet I've never used Pimatic so I don't know unfortunately. You could try the pimatic subforum here at mysensors (will hopefully get more attention there than in the general forum) or if pimatic has a community forum of their own.

@gregl :)

@TheoL My Domoticz works again, I have to give it a fix ip because the IP was change and for your info, Your solution worked very well. It is now visible in Domoticz. Thanks for the support now I have to wait for other parts, I wait for my last parts for this project, an IR receiver so I can use a remote controle. After that I can use this project as a universal project, a default design in basic. Again thanks!

Thanks from answers.

@Tris I think this would work: present(sensor + MAX_ATTACHED_DS18B2 + NUMBER_OF_SWITCHES, S_LIGHT);

@Yveaux Thanks. seems to be same kind of board but it is a Shield for UNO, nice. 3 pieces for the shield is USD 19, I can afford that myself :)

@jpbabou if the node stops sending, it probably has a power issue. Using more power will make the problem worse. And changing the power level on the gateway when the sensor stops sending will not help. What does the serial debug output say on the two nodes? But if you still want to try, stop the gateway, modify MyConfig.h and re-compile and re-install the serial gateway. Then start the gateway again.

@scalz said: I just would like to confirm that esp8266(nodemcu in my case) mqtt client gw works ok with rfm69 :+1: Thanks for the confirmation!

Awesome. I'll be using this when I do the MySensor masterclass the 9th of September. Love it!

@TheoL Absolutely you can use it in a presentation. It might be useful (or not) to know that node 105 is a refrigerator/freezer combo, node 102 and 103 are in the same refrigerator/freezer, and node 100 is a chest freezer I have an external thermostat on and I use it as a refrigerator.

The gateway is always acting as a repeater (if radio is enabled).

good luck and i advice you to do it wll otherwise you have an issue:sweat:

@Ironbar no worries, the search function can be a bit uncooperating sometimes :)

@kolaf said: give it a separate network ID Better use a different channel. When using different network ID's on the same channel, the networks still have to compete for bandwidth. When using different channels, they will not interfere.
