I never noticed the 20 device cap. That won't do. What I am thinking of now, is to use EspHome and just dedicate a router to handle just that network - so kinda creating an IoT network without internet access and as standalone as possible. Using static IPs should make the response better too. Thanks for looking into this.

25/25 Програма ChatGPT сказала: It seems like you're exploring the use of PJON with RS485. While RS485 is natively supported in MySensors, using PJON for collision handling can offer some interesting advantages, especially in environments where communication reliability is critical. PJON's collision management may be useful in bus systems like RS485, but it's worth considering whether the added complexity is necessary.

It seems that using an Ethernet PHY (like LAN8720) with the ESP32 in a MySensors setup requires a bit of extra configuration, including initializing the PHY using the ETH.h library and disabling the default Wi-Fi initialization. Interestingly, this setup allows for dual IP addresses, with one for the Ethernet connection and another for Wi-Fi, which can be useful in certain applications.

Just for reference, as this solution was no yet mentioned: You could also use a second UART on your controller or a software serial for debuging with the following defines: #define MY_SERIALDEVICE Serial // Interface for controller connection #define MY_DEBUGDEVICE Serial1 // Interface for debug output Regards, Edi

super, once again a few super links, thanks for that i will go for the easy way. this sketch by boots33 works perfectly. But before that i will try to understand and learn the steps. thanks again branther

Yes, this is a good idea. but not with an ethernet switch/hub, only an ethernet crossover cable. ?? https://copperhilltech.com/wt32-eth01-serial-to-ethernet-module-based-on-esp32-for-iot-applications/

Hi There, I had a quick look, and this looks focused on SP8266. I have myself contributed to this: New TLS implementation #1520 . I don't think this will apply for RaspberryPI MQTT GW. Thanks and regards, Eric.

@kimot thanks this video did help me actually

I have added a pull request for this (#1515). Best Regards, Constantin

Test was a success. My Dryer sensor is now a repeater as well. I was able to move my motion sensor farther from my dryer and have it work the same. 1 Thing to note is I did have to restart the gateway in order to get the motion sensor to flow through the repeater. Something that could be improved on maybe?

Hi, Increasing the MY_SMART_SLEEP_WAIT_DURATION_MS would probably work, but I assume this waiting happens while the sensor sketch is running (at least the RF needs to be powered on), thus decreasing battery life. But I think I will give it a try soon and see what happens. Thanks for the precious info! BR, Costa

OK, thanks. I'll have a look at it.

I'm using the sleepRemainingMs function for that and it works if accuracy is not important

@NielBierman Why are you using VARs when there are already moisture and temperature categories available to you? Just give each temp and moisture sensor a unique CHILD_ID (simply by adding 1-8 in the name) and you are done!

@mfalkvidd - Sorry I didn't make it clear but I was thinking of doors, windows, blinds and curtains. Curtains don't usually have UP or DOWN, they are OPEN and CLOSED. Likewise with doors and windows which are normally OPEN or CLOSED. Only if V_ARMED is set true should it send a value of V_TRIPPED. But in normal circumstances they are OPEN or CLOSED (or maybe smoewhere inbetween, but V_PERCENTAGE handles that situation). ;)

This can maybe a solution for having a bridge between RS485 and nRF24L01.
