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.
Welcome to the forum!
Tagging @sundberg84 who created this pcb.
@nschurando Yes, the “C” in RFM69HCW (or RFM69CW) means “compatible”, indicating pin compatibility with older RFM modules such as the RFM12B.
It is the receiver's eeprom that needs to be cleared. In most MySensors networks, the receiver is the gateway. But since MySensors supports node to node communication (for example a button node sending a message to a relay node), any node can be a receiver. So in the example, the eeprom of the relay node would also need to be cleared.
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.
