General Discussion

Great and clear explanation @tbowmo . Thanks a lot. Thanks @scalz for the link. I read it and it was useful.

@Chakkie If you are concerned about security, and the neighbor being able to control your lights / locks, then you should look into the security thread located here

If you use at least a half decent search function and search the example tree for "eeprom" the example will show no matter the order of the keywords, so is a renaming really necessary?

@Yveaux Yes I have checked the nordic website regarding the power consumption and they are nearly the same in deep sleep. Anyway, thanks a lot for the discussion :)

@moskovskiy82 said: Invalid protocol "MQTT" Please search the forum first before you post an issue.

i Know it's in repeater mode. I couldn't find any downsides in turning it on except that the sleep function had to be disabled. It still acts as a sensor node

If you use Set to send your temp/hum you can define how many decimals you want: MyMessage& set(float value, uint8_t decimals); For example: gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1)); will send you the value with 1 decimal. Reference: here

If you still want the delay you can use gw.wait instead. That will process incoming radio messages.

@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!
