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.

hey great will try tomorrow Thankyou

@NotYetRated It is as young as it gets, not yet established and undocumented ;). Especially the last one needs immensive improvement

I have 4 mysensor device in MajorDomo. Work well. Door sensor, Reed switch & Vibration sensor Pulse meter for Gas meter DHT22 Hygrometer for my plants In plan Pulse meter for water counter Every sensor insert in small box - power bank http://www.ebay.com/itm/2600mAh-USB-Power-Bank-Portable-External-Battery-Charger-For-iphone-Samsung-/261693722800?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item3cee2950b0 And small accumulator http://www.ebay.com/itm/271676342921?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Looks like this http://smartliving.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=1417

I checked the sensor and it will output both so i'll need to do some testing there. I will tear into the motion sketch and see what damage I can do. Thank you for your input.

Thanks, it'll be updated.

@hek Awesome! No animals were harmed but what about daughters and wives, parents and in-laws? Nice to see that we are both drone enthusiasts ;)

@bluman If it is the ? operator that is the fuzzy one then you can rewrite the statement like: if (message.getBool()) digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, true); else digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, false); The ? operator act like: expression?truepart:falsepart So if expression is true the it executes the truepart else it executes the falsepart

@doctor64 said: PIR sensors Not anyone, a sensor that generates a signal when I come close to the car, I rather it not be IR since, AFAIK, they need to be in specific positions to work, unlike NFC or Bluetooth that cover areas around the sensor. Basically I'm trying to create a smart switch that goes on or of based on whether I'm close (in the range of 10-20 feet) to it or not.

Yeah! I'll order one for myself.. So basically only one more needed!

Hi all I find this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR60toEjHl8 and this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xhvphsj1ms and now say me what is wrong in my testing.. I must contact video producer for question.. regards.

Hi @tbowmo, do you mind to explain a bit about the design? I'm interested with your design. I will use these steps for removing voltage regulator, http://goo.gl/CsZaNg So the design will be battery > external step up regulator (http://goo.gl/PFt99R - to stabilize 3.3v) > vcc pin ? with these then I can use my first post design? Thanks

If i understand correctly these BLE modes, to have the arduino "listen" for an ibeacon ( or similar) then you need a ble module capable of being set to "central" profile. Something like this should do this http://redbearlab.com/blemini/ but any module with the CC2540 chip should work... im going to try some modules using this chip. Did u seem my post here http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/709/indoor-ble-location-or-presence-detection

@hek I have two sensors in my network ( temp , Hum ) and motion detection. both working in auto mode and request node id from controller ( raspberry pi ) node via gateway . but unfortunately, reponse code of both nodes get same node id 1. may be bug in sendNextAvailableSensorId() function response. any idea? thanks
