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)
LiFePO4 batteries are a great choice because they have a long life cycle and are much safer than other lithium-based batteries. However, you need a solar charge controller that’s compatible with LiFePO4 to prevent overcharging and maintain efficiency. A good MPPT controller can significantly boost energy harvest from your panels. Also, ensure your solar panel output matches your power needs. If you're in solar ireland, you might find some local companies that offer tailored solutions for maximizing solar efficiency in lower light conditions.
Old topic, I know. Did anything ever come of this?
I'm also thinking it would be easy & cheap to get the espnow working as a transport layer.
I found this: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs-beta/classESPNOW.html
But it goes above my head and abilities when it comes to code.
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!"

I hope the project won't be buried due to the fact that the protocol is the basis of nippy devices (https://nippysmart.com/) I also hope that the development of mysensors won't be directed in 2 directions - one commercial only for nippy - the other for all the rest, which could result in the two versions diverging so much that they will be incompatible and the second one will simply be buried.
