General Discussion

The mySensors is focused on home-automation mostly. You always need at least one sensor, one gateway and a controller to process the data. In your scenario (car), maybe you could find an android app that communicates directly to arduino via USB, and fetches the temperature? That would be the straight forward approach I think.

@hek If repeater mode works regardless of which Node ID your in, than I will go with this setup. I was think for repeater to work one will need to have all Node ID on the same channel. I guess I'm wrong on that. Thanks for clearing the air. :)

Unless you plan to move it around, soldering is probably best. Those headers/duponts tends to slip out when you least want it.

Yes, that should do it. And yes you shouldn't use delay() or sleep the node. Instead you use timer or your own millis() checks.

Vera is a router-like device running the controller part. Many open source controllers can also run on very low power hardware such as Raspberry Pi. One example is Pi Dome. So you really don't have to have a PC running 24/7.

Yes, I think that is the main reason. :-)

Well i did some testing last night and even with this error everything is still working fine. I was able to add a new device etc. I guess ill upgrade the plugin just to clear the error from the new dashboard.

Connected via SPI (MOSI, MISO,.....etc)

@mikemayers You could also have a look at: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1288/example-dimmable-led-with-rotary-encoder Where you can use a simple rotary encoder for volume input control (which also works from controller side). Then you add the MAX5486 as output device to control the actual volume to your speakers.

@mainali have you finished the sketch? do you mind to share?

Ok, added a note over there. Will pop up next time I deploy.

Okay, it's worth saying how it's going. The only problem tjhat I've (somehow) solved was 'disappearing' of the gateway under unknown circumstances. Solution? Transistor controlled by GPIO of the board (which was powering the arduino pro too). For full redundancy I'm powering Pro Mini with RAW port with 3.3V, so it's double stabilized. I've never had problems with nRF chips, but I've also put the 4.7uF between VCC and GND on radio. So, answering the question - it will work. Regards

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I have looked at DataYours, installed it last night and have done some tinkering. It looks relatively good. My hope would be for Domoticz to offer long term storage, but I would like the alternatives in the mean time. I too do not want 100 misc. plugins clogging my Vera, however with the few I currently have, things seem to be running quite well. I'll check in to plot.ly, thanks again fellas!

Don't you have a flaw in design - what if module fails? You won't be able to turn on/off light at all...

@TimO Thanks, I will try this.

@kolaf Also, Google pinchageint which is a library that I believe allows for more interrupts.. Cheers Al

The problem with these probes is that they are very localized and you don't really know where condensation is going to appear. That's why you should rely on good construction rather than spot cheking for moisture.
