General Discussion

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!

Cool beans. thanks!

@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

@ceech Looks great, thanks for posting it. Cheers Al

After testing some more i get better result with this setting: attachInterrupt(INTERRUPT, onPulse, LOW);

Hmmm... I am away from raspi, I prefer cubieboard and Odroid-U3 for reliability and reactiveness....

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

i found some information here that may be of some use for others http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/58

@brettzky84 there is TONS of this on the Vera website, and many many folks are connecting them with a (serial I think) interface that you may buy and the plugin @Dwalt mentioned.

@Dirk_H I use LiFe batteries in my battery sensors. they are a bit oversized, but they work just fine. And because of the lower operating voltage I don´t need any type of voltage regulation :+1:

What is the brand of these door sensors? A photo can also help. But unlikely you can use them out-of-the-box with MySensors...

I apologize for the questions and how simple they may be, as Im new to this community but very intrigued with the creativity and endless possibilities.

@Strooom I had an experience with fibaro last year I was liked their z-wave devices and hope that controller could be cool too but it was not something probably improved from my last experience but in general the fibaro design is not that flexible as others fibaro HC even is not able to deal with a primary or secondary controller in zwave network this possibility is missing while it have to be the standard one the only way i knew is possible to integrate mysensors to fibaro HC is to design a special gateway HC allows you to manually create and configure a custom device which is linked to an external WEB service your gateway can be that WEB service holding an individual interface with each mysensors device It will be not standard design of the Mysensors gateway because the standard is to have very simple gateway which just passes messages between controller and Mysensors network. In case of the HC the gateway have to be more complicated and act as mid layer controller and gateway at the same time

Yes and no. The library I use is for single wire. A new lib (or better, an extension to the existing) is required for I2C. But the logic layer can be reused assuming the api is kept intact (which it should, as there are no hardware specifics in the api). I considered using I2C, but rejected it in order to be able to be more versatile and less dependent on pins and components. But the device register map is identical between the devices so it is enough to switch the data marshaling parts. The library is based on this:https://github.com/jimblom/sha204-Breakout But I have made a few changes to it to make it more suited for device use. You can find my lib in the development branch of the MySensors git by now. It also carries a sketch to personalize the device.

You have to rewrite part of MyGateWay.cpp or create your own class. It is not that easy that it looks like at first glance. I did it but it didn't end up in that good functionality so I skipped it and made a separte sensor and keept the Gateway unchanged. You have another answer in the same direction here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/722/is-it-possible-to-have-an-ethernet-gateway-also-act-as-a-node-single-arduino-setup/4

@samppa An option would be to create a sensor sensor node. Nodes can transmit messages to one another. Set up the sensor sensor as a motion sensor. Transmit messages from each sensor to the sensor sensor. If a message does not get received within established parameters... signal motion. Or, just (as Hek pointed out) do it server side.
