It might be me, but when I declare the receiveTime handler is stated in the documentation:

bool receiveTime(uint32_t ts);

I get an error. it should be:

void receiveTime(uint32_t ts) {
}

at least in the latest MySensors version

It has been taking over by CodeGarage to assure continuation

That is a well documented project. Much appreciated

@fsgraz Did some testing Today and my RFM range is over 80 meters node to node, with no long range antenna. That will be my next test, just waiting for a shipment from China to arrive. I did how ever notice an extreme improvement when I connected the gateway through a USB hub and then started to dig through the forum. @AWI once wrote about using an external PSU to power the long range NRF PA/LAN. I'll try that this weekend as connecting it to they USB port of my PI extended the range to 20 meters Node to Node.

@ejlane I use Easy Eda and that can't import Kicad xd, maybe the pro version can, but I will never trust that enough to install it on my Mac. And I did check out the open hardwarw link. The comments come back to here.

I want to make one small adjustment. I wanna change the sma to ipex, so I have more choices in where to mount the antenna. Personally not a fan of an antenna sticking out of the side of a case.

But I guess I have to install KiCad to figure out footprints and schematics.

@fsgraz I agree with you that to me MySensors is all but dead. I can do stuff with MySensors that would take me more devices when I'd go to Zigbee. And I don't want to use Wifi.

@fsgraz I have an SI7021 in all my nodes lol. For me it's sensors and lights. Not the ceiling light but the other lights. We actually never use the ceiling lights. And I control my garden with MySensors

@fsgraz I'm curious what you all have running on your network? I'm in the progress of updating and upgrading my stuff. The sensors I don't use like barometer I will remove. And I will swap from NRF24L01 to RFM69. Don't get me wrong the NRF works great, but the RMF69 gives my longer reach and as we might move to another house in the future, I want more reach for my nodes.

Kind of a lot response. But would you be able to post schematics and BOM. I was able to but one of the DFRobot Arduino's and I want to give it a try. Thanx in advance

Thank you for sharing. I have the same, sensors running for 10 years without any problem!
