@bisschopsr I now have the schematics posted for all of my boards. I also posted another board for my in-wall scene controller line. Is there any other pics or information that you think might be useful to others for any of these boards?
Hi @talhatec ,
The remote controls work well. 4 months ago I installed a new battery and from time to time I press the button to check if they continue with battery, they sleep correctly.
I remain pending to change the RF antenna for a better one and to improve some failures in the connectors of the battery that at the moment are very fragile (the pad has little copper).
The casing can be purchased online

For now the project is stopped, I want to test the Aqara sensors (I buy them this week), in any case the domotics is now my lowest priority.
Just to let you know that I solved the issue.
I found a library where you can control the speed and make sure it get to it's position.
You can find it here: https://github.com/netlabtoolkit/VarSpeedServo
I incorporated it in the Mysensor sketch and it works eventhoug it looks like it only goes like 90 degrees but it's enough for me :
#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <VarSpeedServo.h>
// #include <Servo.h>
#define SERVO_DIGITAL_OUT_PIN 3
#define SERVO_MIN 0 // Fine tune your servos min. 0-180
#define SERVO_MAX 180 // Fine tune your servos max. 0-180
#define DETACH_DELAY 900 // Tune this to let your movement finish before detaching the servo
#define CHILD_ID 10 // Id of the sensor child
MySensor gw;
MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_DIMMER);
VarSpeedServo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created
// Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
// a maximum of eight servo objects can be created Sensor gw(9,10);
unsigned long timeOfLastChange = 0;
bool attachedServo = false;
void setup()
{
// Attach method for incoming messages
gw.begin(incomingMessage);
// Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
gw.sendSketchInfo("Servo", "1.0");
// Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_COVER);
// Request last servo state at startup
gw.request(CHILD_ID, V_DIMMER);
}
void loop()
{
gw.process();
if (attachedServo && millis() - timeOfLastChange > DETACH_DELAY) {
myservo.detach();
attachedServo = false;
}
}
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
myservo.attach(SERVO_DIGITAL_OUT_PIN);
attachedServo = true;
if (message.type==V_DIMMER) { // This could be M_ACK_VARIABLE or M_SET_VARIABLE
int val = message.getInt();
myservo.write(SERVO_MAX + (SERVO_MIN-SERVO_MAX)/100 * val,255,true); // sets the servo position 0-180
// Write some debug info
Serial.print("Servo changed. new state: ");
Serial.println(val);
} else if (message.type==V_UP) {
Serial.println("Servo UP command");
myservo.write(SERVO_MIN,255,true);
gw.send(msg.set(100));
} else if (message.type==V_DOWN) {
Serial.println("Servo DOWN command");
myservo.write(SERVO_MAX,255,true);
gw.send(msg.set(0));
} else if (message.type==V_STOP) {
Serial.println("Servo STOP command");
myservo.detach();
attachedServo = false;
}
timeOfLastChange = millis();
}

A couple of things, you put the device to sleep so while it's asleep, it won't respond to the commands to change the relays. Since you are combining relays and sensors, you need to keep the unit awake and find a different way to send the sensor data occasionally. For the relay status, read the comments in the sketch. You are saving the relay state and then reading that on startup. You can eliminate all of that code and just set the relay to off in the setup section.

@Andrew-Currie Downloaded KiCad and used it to import jBoard2.brd and output .gbr files via Plots plus the .drl file. Checked using GerbView and uploaded to PCBWay. Hopefully this will now work...
