General Discussion

thanks for the corrections

There isn't any official page for this yet as this has mostly been experimental features. We should probably set one up at some time. To send out an OTA firmware I would recommend using the MYSController which has a nice GUI for it. But you still need to compile your code and grab the hex-file to send. All this isn't exactly beginner-level stuff. Would have been nice if someone could wrap all this up and incorporate it in the Arduino IDE or something.

thanks for the help.. is there a way to send.msg directly to another node without mucking with "MyMessage". ie.. sent a msg on the fly to fire a relay on another module. i have looked through the api and don't really understand how i can send it with out upsetting the rest of the sketch. thanks again hope it makes sense.

@edweather said: http://www.mysensors.org/build/uv The documentation on site is wrong. A0 is the correct pin. Thanks for reporting, I'll update.

Thanks - I will give it a try.

Your node is sending out a broadcast message looking for parent (gateway or repeater node). No-one seems to reply to this request.

Australia is a trial stomping ground for stuff like this, The results (determined by the Aussie's tolerance for such things) seem to find it's way to other parts of the world...

Don't know about the others, but openHAB has a REST API and is able to draw nice charts as a picture which you can embed in your web page.

What are logs on Domoticz when you restart your node?

@jeylites You may change R1 and R2 and you don't destroy (A0). An other way is to change the multiplicator (0.003363075) in the formula: float batteryV = sensorValue * 0.003363075;

Any practical experience with Fibaro in mysensors environment?

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. :-)
