Cannot remotely reboot a node

[coldpower]

First of all - thanks a lot for the beatiful library!

Here is my issue.
Cannot restart node using MYSController_0_1_2_280.

Is it only me who has such issue? Where to look in order to find source?

Here is what i have done:

• there is serial gateway connected to the computer and one node

• added section to my arduino ide boards.txt

• burned MYSBootloader.hex which came with MYSController as a bootloader

• have uploaded DallasTemperatureSensor example to the node.

• it seems working fine and sends data to the controlloer

• it also gets some packets back from the controller;

• made a minor modification to it to make it sending temperature every 10 seconds even if temperature was not changed and indicate (just print 'starting') the reboot;

• it seems reporting fine to MYSController;

• trying to reboot node from the MYSController, i.e. right click node -> click at 'reboot' menu item;

• node does not restart and continue working;

I tried to use bootloaders from the MySensor git repository (either Bootloader and MYSBootloader), but result is the same.

Thanks a lot for the advice!

@coldpower
The node is sleeping during the majority of the time and doesn't process incoming commands.
Substituting gw.sleep() with gw.wait() should do the trick (gw.wait() calls gw.process() while waiting).

A second option for battery-powered sensors that saves battery life:

• add gw.wait(200) after the last send command and keep gw.sleep()
• in MYSController, select Battery powered in node properties

What happens now: The node listens during 200ms for incoming commands and then goes to sleep. MYSController will send commands once it receives a message from the node.

I did not realize that sample is for battery powered node. Now it works fine, thank you for the advice!
