    I think you should go with Eagle and KICAD as these are free ware and a lot of tutorials are available to teach how to use these software and I personally recommend Eagle as PCB manufacturers accept the Eagle files to build the boards and for cheap PCB boards you should look at some manufacturers with manufacturing facility is in China. pcb fabrication

    If I search ebay being based in Holland, I see you can get a boards with a W5100 from the UK, Germany and Italy for reasonable prices (13 Euro, 4 Euro shipping). What happens if you search ebay from Sweden and do not set Worldwide?

    @clippermiami said: Is it possible I have to reinitialize the Gateway for some reason? No, you shouldn't need to reinitialize gateway in any way. Can you see the presentation message for the node device in Vera logs? Did you try restarting Vera to reveal any hidden devices (has happened before)?

    Hello, I have tested the DHT11 for one day with a THGR810 from Oregon (assuming it is pretty calibrated). They were close together. There are some time the DHT11 moved but not the Oregon. Generally it was 1% below so pretty good. On Temperature there is more gap, it varies from 2°C+/-1°C below, it is more puzzling here. I have not yet DHT22 to do this check-up. Would one day adjustment values sent by the gateway to the sensors ;-)

    I was playing around with this yesterday and noticed something peculiar, it consistently reports the compiled image as several hundred bytes less than the same sketch in the Windows IDE. I haven't tried executing the compiled sketch yet so I don't know if is just a counting anomaly or if it failed to compile properly. I have ro get a cable adapter for my Nexus before I can upload to a Arduino to find out.

    For others: As written in another topic : http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/111/can-t-control-actuator#747 i also enabled "newline" in the serial monitor to sent commands, and now it works. Thanks Hek for help.

    An answer to this issue can be found here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/77/uno-power-issue-previously-different-sensors-sketches-behaving-differently In short it looks like some (in my case all except one) Uno boards seem to under power the 3.3v pin...

    @gregl Yep, agree.. Distribute logic as far as possible out in the actuator-grid. So I would opt in for "remembering" the state in case of power-fail.. That is how I've configured all my z-wave devices and works like old "dumb" switches (=high WAF).

    It is possible but not supported. You might get some ideas by looking at this thread: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,19974.0.html
