cppcheck old-style c cast@mfalkvidd do you know the answer to this?

Hello from NewbieWelcome @aliansari. I hope MySensors gives you as much you as it has given many others.

Piezzo siren/alarmThere are also a lot of circuits using 555 timers and some old CMOS or TTL chips that easily create the oscilation you need. It draws a bit more power when the piezo is active. But for me that's worth it, because it gets rid of the complication in the code.
And is you have a bad MySensors radio connection, MySensors will keep executing code that might interrupt code. Which is annoying for applications like this, because it will interfere with your piezo sound. That's why I prefer a hardware solution or an active piezo buzzer. The ones that have a range from 3.3V to 24V are usually very load at 24V. They can be driven with a simple fet.At least that's how I look at electronics now, don't jump to a software solution when some old skool electronics make your life easier.
But I love the project!

Support for CC1101 radiosSo almost time to create a 3rd gateway? :) I'm switching over to RFM69 for now, due to it's high range. Although it's significantly slower than NRF. So Curious about the performance of CC1101 any stats on power consumption?

INCLUSION TROUBLEI have no experience with inclusion mode as Domoticz doesn't support it (I believe). What happens if you just use a cat < gateway_dev? Does the gateway respond to nodes?
-
Keeping MySensors relavantFor 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.

Time to move to ESPHome?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.

Any European alternatives for PCB Manufacturing?@monte thank you for that one. Although almost 2.5 times the price it's cheaper than other European options.
