How to force static use of an repeater-node...?

[idstone]

Hi all,

may be someone would be so kind to tell me, how to force the usage of an specified repeater-node?
I've set up a repeater-node with an NRF24L01+PA+LNA antenna version. This node is powered by 3,3v DC and working properly. A sensor, which monitors my dehumidifier-water-tank, sends via that node.
My problem is, that a new sensor at my entrance door reaches the gateway not always, so I get an dead node. I would prefer this node also being connect via this antenna-pimped repeater next to itself.

Thanks in advance!
Sincerely
Carsten

Hi!

In the 1.5 releases you can set a static parent in the begin method. It's the fourth argument. See "Starting up the library" here:

Hi martinhjelmare...

so I think I got it...

changed from:

// gw.begin();

to

// Test - nur über Repeaternode 103 senden!
gw.begin(NULL, AUTO, false, 103);

fhem now shows parentId 103...
I'll confirm after some testing

Thanks a lot
