Manually sending a command to a node

[dbemowsk]

This should be a quick and easy answer. So I am still in the beginning stages of my setup and I do not have a controller software picked out and set up. I am thinking of going with Domoticz, but not 100% yet. Anyway, I have a sensor made and a serial gateway set up, and I want to test it. The sensor has a relay that I want to control. How do I manually send a command from the serial monitor to test the relay? I did some searching, but maybe I am just missing it.

The format of the (serial) gateway is described at https://www.mysensors.org/download/serial_api_15
The easiest way is probably to write a few test messages in a text editor and paste them into the serial monitor when the serial monitor is connected to the gateway.

That is what I wanted. Don't know how I missed that.

@dbemowsk you can also take a look at
MyS controller if you are on Windows. Very educational.

I am normally a linux user, but I do have my windows 10 laptop that I can put this on. Looks interesting.

Also works great in wine.
