Here is some code to manage an X27 stepper motor. These are commonly found behind a gauge in car dashboards.
Because this type of stepper motor uses very little power, an Arduino can operate the stepper motor directly (video), by pulsing the coils.
The idea is that it can act as a dashboard for certain values in the smart home.
/*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* This device can toggle two relays, and thus two electric locks. These relays can be controlled via the Candle Controller, but also via SMS (if you want).
* The SMS function is password protected: you have to send a password to switch the relay. Access can also be limited to only certain mobile phone numbers, and only certain moments (by toggling the Mobile control switch).
*
* If you send an SMS without the password, it will be shown as the Incoming SMS. This can be used to automate other things in your home. For example, you could create a rule that when the system receices an SMS with "purifier on" in it, the air purifier will turn on.
*
* This way you can control smart devices in your home even if it/Candle is not connected to the internet.
*
* If data transmission is disabled, you can change the state of the lock via SMS or the pushbutton without the new state being sent to the controller.

During my testing I noticed that at a certain time the Arduino Nano's USB chip stopped working, so I suspect there is too much kickback from the stepper anyway. Turns out the USB cable broke. It still works fine.
In theory there's a library out there that works better than using the standard stepper library. But I wasn't able to find it. There is a library for the X25 that might work, but I haven't tried it. But I haven't gotten it to work properly.
As an alternative, you could use normal small servo's that the Arduino can also operate without requiring a motor control chip. But that's a lot more noisy. It does have a lot more power though.
I put the code here in case someone wants to play around with it. For those interested, there is also an open source board to make these gauges more robust by adding protective diodes.
Here is some code that does exactly what was asked for:
https://github.com/createcandle/Devices/tree/master/Plant_health
Based on the example code by @mfalkvidd I created a USB serial receiver that outputs data about network errors.
The top line shows the good transmissions, the bottom one shows the bad ones.
Close-up
I was surprised to see so many errors.
Also, how can I understand these values? Does a transmission error mean that an incoming message failed? Or an outgoing message? How does MySensors determine what an error is? Does an error mean the transmissions totally failed? because in practize the network seems to be ok.
For those interested, here's my full code:
*
* The Candle receiver acts as the bridge between the Candle devices and the Candle Controller.
*
* It only allows communication with other Candle devices that use the same encryption password as it uses itself.
* When you install the Candle Manager, a random password is generated for you. If you ever want to change the encryption password used by your network, this can be done in the Candle Manager settings.
* Be warned that you will have to re-create this receiver as well as all your devices, since they will all need to have new code with the new password in it.
*
* If you have already installed the MySensors add-on, please temporarily disable it before creating this receiver. Otherwise the MySensors add-on may try to connect to it during the creation process, and thus disrupt it.

It's not a perfect pin-out match. You should definitely check out this thread:
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/10327/rf-nano-nano-nrf24-for-just-3-50-on-aliexpress/1
But you're right, it's great for beginners. That's why it forms the basis of the Candle project.
The RF-Nano may be what you're looking for? It's an inexpensive Nano with built in NRF24.
Updated log parser to include RC debug messages: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1396
Ah, interesting, thanks for the explanation.
Here is my code, which I used to hack my dishwasher so I can turn it on via my smart home system. The code is designed to work well with the Mozilla WebThings gateway and the Candle project, which is based on MySensors. But it but should work just fine with any smart home controller that supports MySensors.
