Maybe you can post a picture or schematics showing how you are connecting the radio to arduino? You last screenshot is showing only 'failed' for any radio operation.

@diggs I expect the first usable snapshot builds at the end of this week. They are located at: http://builder.pidome.org/view/Snapshot builds/job/PiDome clients collection/ These clients are build to provide ease of use. Data aggregation and details will stay on the server.

@boozz glad to see you got your head around it.

Hello, I just started off trying to make a few sensors, Just like you i only had uno's and pro mini and no nano. Read this article and thought everything would be fine, but. So i loaded up the sketch onto an uno and plugged it into my vera loaded the files but Vera Serial port configuration dosent detect anything. Any idea how to get that working?

I bought 5 of these from iTead a long time back.. excellent to get going quickly and for testing.! Highly recommend these! This one has been running on my desk just as a light lux sensor for months without needing any attention. IMG_20150808_135557.jpg

Thanks... tried to update. But my serial is a Mega 2560. So it gives an error. Remembers me i found a topic to switch the pins and change them in the sketch.

I tapped into a newer alarm systems door sensors by measuring the voltage via the analog pins. My alarm still works, but I can also see open/closed via mysensors/openhab.

ok cool i understand ...and if people for what ever reason need that kind of accurcy then a simple dunio ntp gateway will do the job ..

@CoolCooler good luck! May the force be with you....

gw.wait is ok. It keeps node awake and process incoming messages. If you sleep the node it becomes more complicated. You could send something to the controller when waking up (and keep the node awake for a short time to receive new commands). And the controller buffers outgoing commands until it receives this "woke-up-message". If you enable ack on outgoing commands from the controller (and the node is sleeping) you won't get and ack message back... which indicates the node is down or is sleeping.

Welcome Harald! And congrats+good luck to dad/mom ;-)

Try the ones you have. Not exactly an exact science this...

@TD22057 said: See here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1034/mqtt-gateway-openhab-mosquitto/2 which connects mosquitto to the gateway using the bridge input. Bridging is used for connecting two brokers together (see http://mosquitto.org/man/mosquitto-conf-5.html "configuring bridges"). I think MySensor's MQTT Gateway is already a broker by itself where clients like OpenHab can connect to. However, if there is a need, you can use a bridge which forwards the messages from a remote broker(MySensor's MQTT Gateway) to a local broker(Mosquitto). Then clients could now also connect to Mosquitto.

There are multiple controller options available on http://www.mysensors.org. Not sure I understand what you mean by control sensor. You only need to act on the sensor output right?

Using watchdog as Mysensors is good idea, but is there any other better way to archive same?

Don't update if it's working.
