    @Huczas the code has been updated in the 2.0 GitHub branch. The wiring diagram has also been updated. Thanks for the fix!

    @petewill as I sad before - pull up 1k resistor and wire it to Arduino pin 6 - I mean

    pull up - connect to power,
    so should be 1k resistor connected with power source(that make sence with pull up) and also with pin 6. Like below:

        I just finished building this but when I go to upload the code to my arduino i get this error

        'byte clock [8]' redeclared as different kind of symbol

        what does this mean ?

        thanks

          @bsivley Are you using the libraries from the MySensors github page (https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/tree/master/libraries)? I just compiled it without any errors. What version of the Arduino IDE are you using? What version of MySensors are you using?

                Hi, Maybe somebody can help me with this issue? Managed to upload code for irrigation controller with Arduino IDE 1.6.12 but can't pair with Vera controller.

                  @Andrej_AB I'm using 1.6.12 but I haven't changed my node to 2.0 yet.
                  What is the issue you are having with pairing? Do you see the presentation messages on your gateway? Do you have other nodes successfully paired with your Vera?

                    @petewill Hi, All my other nodes have successfully paired with Vera, but irrigation controller node can't pair with Vera, I have started inclusion mode on Vera, one minute passed 0 devices found.
                    Please see attached picture.

                      @Andrej_AB It looks like it's communicating ok because it's getting the time. Have you ever had a mysenors node #5 in your Vera previously and deleted it? Could it be that the Vera thinks it's already there? What happens if you clear your eeprom on your irrigation controller then manually assign a different ID and then try to pair it again?

                        Also thinking about it, eprom was cleaned and manually assigned new ID but still can't pair with Vera.
                        Today I tried upload sketch from My sensors library 1.5.4 and node was successfully paired with Vera, then tried again last sketch and again can't pair.

                          @Andrej_AB Can you post the full log from your sensor? The device is never getting presented in what you've posted so far. I don't have enough time to dig in to the code to know if this will help but can you try moving

                          void presentation()  
                          { 
                            sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_VERSION);
                            for (byte i = 0; i <= NUMBER_OF_VALVES; i++)
                            {
                              present(i, S_LIGHT);
                            }
                          }
                          

                          so it's above

                          void setup()
                          

                          I still haven't updated my irrigation controller to 2.0 yet so I haven't tested any of the code.

                                  @impertus Those errors have to do with this line:

                                  
                                  // Set the pins on the I2C chip used for LCD connections:
                                  //                    addr, en,rw,rs,d4,d5,d6,d7,bl,blpol
                                  LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address to 0x27
                                  

                                  This is where the declaration happens. If this is commented or fails, you will get the errors you described. Do you have the correct LCD libraries installed for this?

                                    @impertus Those errors have to do with this line:

                                    
                                    // Set the pins on the I2C chip used for LCD connections:
                                    //                    addr, en,rw,rs,d4,d5,d6,d7,bl,blpol
                                    LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address to 0x27
                                    

                                    This is where the declaration happens. If this is commented or fails, you will get the errors you described. Do you have the correct LCD libraries installed for this?

                                    @dbemowsk i just copy/paste from the site.

                                    witch library should i use?

                                    i have added mysensors-master to IDE

                                    edit i could see i have out comment the line. Now i get this error

                                      Can some one help me with a working sketch for Domoticz.
                                      I have it a little working, only Domoticz give not the childs.
                                      I get from the gate way the time and then is searching for the name from the zone.
                                      If some one can give me a working sketch than i can see what is wrong.

                                      Thanks in advance Ton
