Hi togehter,

have somebody build a sensor which works without a reedcontact. I mean an optical window sensor like a homematic?
Thanky a lot

Hi hek,

the sensors dont use a reedcontact to detect the window status, but an infrared distance sensor. This sensor dont need a magnet.
Sorry i found only in german - this is the website of manufacturer:
http://www.eq-3.de/sensoren-detail/items/homematic-funk-tuer-fensterkontakt-optisch.html

And here you can see on youtube in action:

Hi!

You should try to make a node with the TCRT5000 IR Barrier Line Track sensor
It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.

Its used in the water meter: http://www.mysensors.org/build/pulse_water

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

Nice work so far @wint0178, great that you try expanding on the examples. Sorry for the late reply. If you look at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/bba998bce09bc5139eb4ca7a05b0279f4083ff88/examples/PressureSensor/PressureSensor.ino#L90 you see where the existing child ids are defines. You just add another one for the gas sensor, with a unique number (incrementing by 1 is an easy way). Try that and report back on your result. If something is unclear, just post a followup.

@OldSurferDude My old 2.0 setup is with nRF24L01 radios. This is a link to the thread on some light switches that I designed and built. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7376/us-decora-wall-switch-continued/2 I am aware that you cannot have two MQTT gatways. When I designed my old setup I was not that familiar with MQTT so I never ended up implementing it. On the home assistant server that I have set up though, I have installed the MQTT broker on there so I should be able to comunicate with any MySensors stuff over MQTT in the future devices I make/set up. As I mentioned, I do have a Home Assistant box that I have started about 4 months ago and eventually want to migrate my Vera equipment to the HA box. As for the YAML and Python, I'll muddle my way through. used to program in PHP and have done enough on Arduino that I'm sure it won't hurt my brain too much.

@OldSurferDude Thanks a very valued to know. I was wondering today why my (big) powerbanks fall down after short time. I have small 1 & 2-pieces powerbanks, they work very well. I use also BSM hw-168 or hw-107 for charging single 18650. Will try to use them outside also with small solarpanels.
single-click, double-click, long-press button possible with MySensors?

hey @dirkc, maybe you can trigger your interrupt to rising and falling edge and use millis() to see how long the press was?

Thanks for the offer @TheoL ! I have moved on to a differenct project. Also, a lesson that I have learned many times, "If it works, don't fix it!" -OSD
