[Solved] Node not resetting itself

[A Former User]

I am using the RF69W radio and the latest development branch of MySensors. My problem is that the node doesn't reset itself if the connection between node and gateway failed for some reason.

Here is the debug

@kenci Please post your sketch and the full debug log over an extended time period after the connection is lost.

 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

@kenci If you substitute sleep() to wait() it will re-initialize.

Please find here an alternative approach:

@tekka Is that a problem if i am using battery powered sensors?

[tekka]

@kenci see the alternative solution mentioned above.

[A Former User]

@tekka i just read that you have implemented that in the library and need to push a PR? Is this feature in the latest dev branch?

[tekka]

@kenci Not yet :smile:
