Need some help to start....

Welcome to MySensors @mark76, great to have you here.
As for the English part, my guess is that most of us aren't native English speakers. I nice and easy way to improve spelling and grammar is to use a dictionary in your browser. Here is how to enable it in Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker but I'm sure it can be done in other browsers as well.
Have you read the getting started instructions? How far have you come so far?
After that, you can probably build 1 lamp, for example using the relay instructions or the dimmer instruction and control it from your controller. Next step could be to build an IR sender/receiver.

hello @mfalkvidd : thanks for quick feedback.... I have read a lot till now... but have not find all off that what you have linked... so, many thanks for that links, I will now start to read and come back with further questions when I am ready with my first "lesson" ... :-)
-
OK, what I have understood till now is that 1. I do not need a controler like VEGA. 2. all Sensor can be done as described here: http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15#create-repeating-nodes 3. all lamps and my "head-unit" should be done based on that one: http://www.mysensors.org/download/sensor_api_15#create-repeating-nodes
Am I right?
-
Hm.... So, if I am right- I has to make a plan and fix the adresses for each node... and everything else should be the same (?)
I do not want to control something-it all should run full automaticly- only color chould be changed via IR- remote if necessary... in the same it is working in my old version... do you like to see the old sketches based on manacbugs libary? to get an impression of what the system should do... -
I have now tested some examples... but get allways failure....
In file included from MotionSensor.ino:30:0:

Hi Mark!
Which library do you run? Also upload the code so we can have a look.
Is it the normal motionsensor example? If so it looks like it cant find MySensors liberary.(Line 30): #include <MySensor.h>
Have you downloaded and installed the liberary? -
@mark76 If you dont get it to work i would reinstall the library: http://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#installing-the-sensor-libraries
Im not sure - but since its that line where you include mysensors it believe it cant find the lib. -
I have now tried to re-install lib 3x.... I am stumbeling a little bit, cause I have allready a libraries folder and have copied all folders from MySensors- library folder to that folder... cause my understanding is that all libraries should be in the same folder....
-
That sounds right. When you open arduino ide do you find MySensors under the example menu?
-
Hi!
Any luck @mark76 ? Only difference from me is that you run 1.6.7 arduino IDE... but that shouldnt make the errors... Can you post a code/screeshot of all the error? (Complete log). -
If nothing else works you could try download another version and try... but i doubt it.
-
One question regarding that issue.... Do I have to tell the Sketch that I am working with nrf24? That library is very big and it is not easy to get an overview what library is doing in the backround.... But from my point of view I should define the Radio I use... (?)
