For me personal, because MySensors has much more capabilities that most haven't used yet. So to me, I haven't found an alternative that comes close to MySensors.
The only thing is. For the easy stuff you don't have to program at all when using esp with HA. But that goes over Wifi and to me that is a No-no.
Not sure why but when I checked it it had limitations. And I don't want my sensors and such running over a Wifi network.
@monte thank you for that one. Although almost 2.5 times the price it's cheaper than other European options.
@nschurando I don't understand why they do it for inexpensive parts as well. Allthough they said it was a measurements against shops like Aliexpress that are too competive for the EU shops.
It won't help as Aliexpress will find a way to bypass the rules. They will built some centers in Europe.
For shops like PCBWays and JLPCB I don't see that happen. So it's sad for us makers.
Not sure if you need to erase the eeprom from the node. As the key is stored within the encryption chip when you sign it - this is somewhat of a guess, based upon my understanding of signing.
Erasing the GW eeprom wouldn't be a bad idea. Because that's where the administration probably is stored. As far as I know other nodes are not influenced event when they are repeaters. As repeaters don't even know wetter the other nodes are signed.
Hope my 50 cents help out.
Probably best to post the debug and put the out come through the log parser. I myself have no experience with signing. Not sure but I believe I vaguely remember the gateway needs to be signed as well.
I actually write a non MS sketch first - well for the more complicated things - and when that works I add MS code. That way you can be sure that everything works fine before you enable MS on your node.
@Arvie_Mamayson It was fixed a couple of weeks ago. I just tested and works for me
You'd have to implement the serial protocol. But in all honesty why would you put in all that effort while Domoticz and Home Assistent already do it and support many more type of different protocols?
