    Interesting. Would be fantastic if MySensors would get more attention (and funding). Classic click-bait journalism by IDG through. They make it sound like anyone with a breadboard is basically eligible for a stipend, while it is be targeted at Hacker / Makerspaces. I think there are 10-15 of these places in Sweden right depending on how you count? So if that is the criteria there should be plenty of money to go around. To be completely honest though I'm not sure most of these places are innovative enough to warrant any interest. But I guess that at the rate that governments are spending money anyway, it's great that Makerspaces get a slice of the pie finally. There are surely worse ways to spend taxpayers' money.

    @allanvbcrew will recommend XC6206P332MR you will need just 2 x 1uF ceramic capacitors it is stated that quiescent current is about 1uA maximum input voltage is 6V

    I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

    slight bump to this topic rather than starting a new one since I have some more questions Are there any example sketches for setting variables on a node? Thinking I'd want at least 2 variables. Is there a proper way for a node to report time to the controller or other nodes? This one will be powered 100% of the time so responding to messages shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one but best way to set up a sketch to report the temp every X when it isn't the main function of the node. Thanks in advance.

    I have a project going with openhab and thethingbox. I only use Mqtt with a combination of nrf24l01 and esp8266 modules. thethingbox server is simply used as a catch all for all mqtt messages from sensors or openhab. i parse all the message coming into ththingbox and take action depending on the message. If my door or window sensor is tripped a message is sent to Twitter. I also send temp and humidity readings to thingspeak and my cell phone reports long and lat coordinates to thingspeak so that my lights can come on as I approach the house. My next project is to setup ip cameras and motion sensors and sent pics to drop box. Openhab is really not hard, you just have to keep at it, once you get it you will kick yourself for over complicating it Mike

    just needed to make the repeater node the mother( or reporting to node ) in the humidity parmeters . In my case, change the node from a 0 to a 2. simple!

    @jesper I knew that vera can work with many ethernet gateway but this ability is a subject of the Mysensors plugin, not a subject of the gateway We need to call someone who is aware of the abilities of the Domotics and MQTT plugins

    I you plan to put a sensor in your car you should add proper protection on the power supply to protect against load dump. You can get peak voltage up to 100V for several of ms, that kill most unprotected Electronic.

    Yeah.. this isn't primarily for sensor nodes. More suited for controllers or nodes needing a little more horse power (did I hear speech recognition?). Would be cool if one of the Controllers that supports MySensors could be distributed through resin.io. This would make installation a breeze.

    @5546dug Is this perhaps a starting point? multiple sensors and code. BR Boozz
