Weather station

Heinz

The BMP085 and the DHT have both a temperature: lastTemp of both sketches collide!
Have a look at this sketch which is a merge of a BMP085 and a DHT
https://github.com/windkh/mysensors/blob/master/WeatherStationSensor/WeatherStationSensor.ino

@Heinz I know. But is it possible to use A2 and A3?

I don't know.

Heinz

A function is missing in your case:

void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message){}

NBM

@Heinz Thank you.

I have made this sketch without errors.

@Heinz

Is this sketch working great now?
And how is the battery?
How long can work this sketch, on what type battery?

Heinz

@Dylano the sketch in this thread is from @NBM, if you mean
https://github.com/windkh/mysensors/blob/master/WeatherStationSensor/WeatherStationSensor.ino
then this one is working very well.

This one is the official mysensors example
https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/blob/development/libraries/MySensors/examples/WeatherStationSensor/WeatherStationSensor.ino
