General Discussion

@martinhjelmare Great! I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks a lot

For instance, with "orange" internet provider, i know how to redirect the port :1234 from internet to :80 intranet... but only once. This is cool for 1 non editable port. Sadly I don't think we can close the :80 port. It is (was) used by all the chat software. For the rest: never keep the box-user, never keep the box-software, try to never keep the box-ports. The bad guys KNOW this things. For a old but still used automation-device (witch can control big companies) it still the box-parameters. So... easy to enter into the programs. It was the same for Americans money distributor !!! (now, the have a random password when send to the client)

Now the RPi based on a new install of Raspbian Jessie, OpenHab 1.8.0 and Mosquitto is up and running and the ESP8266 MQTT client does connect without any problems. I have not changed anything in the code but Mosquitto is now based on the RPi repository for Jessie and not the mosquito_wheezy one. That seems to have fixed it so those versions are likely different but I have not put any time into checking this.

Maybe you can use LDR, one for each LED but make good isolation when you put the LDR close to the LED. With LDRs you will not use same power and "almost" no chance that you get any shortcut between Arduino stuff and washing machine

Really interesting, maybe I could build something cool around the Arduino HeatpumpIR (https://github.com/ToniA/arduino-heatpumpir) library I've been building. Right now I'm integrating it with Domoticz (http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=7179#p69647). I'm an ex-Microsoft employee from Finland (resigned about a month ago).

Awesome! I'd much rather use a client gateway so might just hold off until the next release of MySensors and then use the MQTT Client Gateway.

Yes you can. They need to use different radio channels (modify MyConfig.h), but that's it. Just add the new gw in your controller.

I have a serial gateway. I've talked about wi-fi only for comparaison, but... It seem that it's not really comparable. Thanks for your answers anyway !

Luckily it works great since my controller (fhem) not yet support EthGw v1.5.

Great that you found a solution, thanks for reporting back!

Hi @n3ro. You have written the correct command. You dont need the incomingMessage if the sensor doesnt expect that. Yes, atleast the nodes in strategic locations. I have some node in the outskirt of my network which is USB powered and not a repeater... no point how i see it. Dont use delay() or block code in any other way if you are using it as a repeater.

Welcome to the MySensors forum @JagWalia ! The getting started guide explains how to get started step by step

Not sure if implemented but pidome was talking about it in a video,https://youtu.be/ROlXtpefjqM

Thank for your informations, I dont need sensor on gateway, so i keep my gateway on Arduino Mini pro, it's more small than Mega. Thank again.

I have now decided to stay at TmrH20 - Basis... that is working fine for me... Thanks to all, trying to help.

Hi @Rolo6442u - welcome! st=fail means the radiotraffic between the node and gateway fails in some way. Sometimes it can reach the gw, but some more skilled in the code need to present you with the details. If you use a nrf radio and you dont use a 4.7uF cap on VCC-GND thats a good advice.

Hi! You should try to make a node with the TCRT5000 IR Barrier Line Track sensor It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. Its used in the water meter: http://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_water http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575069610&toolid=10001&campid=5337433187&customid=&icep_item=330924700585&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg

Looks good.. I found some code here for it: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=212749.15 I've not looked any further as to what people may have done with respect to counting people etc..but im sure there is some out there! Not too cheap though.. $80AUD here!
