    How did you get 3 options for the sleep interrupt? Whenever I would try and add the sleep_time option it would give me compile errors.

      Here is a version I'm currently using that makes use of interrupts so might be more suitable for a battery driven DHT/Motion multi sensor. It also includes the battery monitoring. Any feedback or improvements would be appreciated.

      @mountainman
      Thank you verry much, exactly what i need!

      For child's id, if you have two sensor you have to change the ID in the second?

      Sensor 1 :
      #define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
      #define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
      #define CHILD_ID_MOTION 2

      Sensor 2:
      #define CHILD_ID_HUM 3
      #define CHILD_ID_TEMP 4
      #define CHILD_ID_MOTION 5

        @waynehead99 Are you using the new 1.4 Lib?

          @egbertje Good Question :-) It would be nice to learn from existing working sketches..

            @waynehead99 you most likely need 1.4 Lib for the new sleep constructor. I have not used sleep on 1.3 so I do not remember what arguments you had available there.
            I have also extended sleep with an additional constructor which @hek has pulled into the release branch of 1.4 that permits you to use two external interrupts with independent triggers for sleep in addition to a timeout. Great for nodes with multiple sensors that still run on battery.

            Do you feel secure today? No? Start requiring some signatures and feel better tomorrow ;)

              @Mountainman ;

              Im trying your code and its almost what im looking for.
              I have two questions about it:
              1 : Is it possible that the battery info has is own child id?
              2 : Why dont you implement a light sensor like an LDR?

              I think that including LDR/light then you have the ideal multisensor ; light + temp/hum + motion + batt monitoring !
              But for now im playing with your code and try to implement light.

                @mountainman Is there any instructions on how to wire/setup the hardware to work with your code?

                  @egbertje;

                  The battery percentage is associated with the parent Arduino Node in the vera UI.
                  I have some LDRs ordered from Ebay so that is the next step. I had previously used the BH1750 I2C sensor in a multi sensor with the 1.3 lib but I want to debug on its own as it seemed to be giving unexpected readings.

                  @codenea The instructions are pretty much from the main page although if I get a chance I try to draw it up and post some pics. My setup not very pretty yet with perf board and jumper wires. A dedicated PCB would be nice.

                    Hello,

                    Here is my combo to make a Home Monitoring solution:
                    https://github.com/empierre/arduino/blob/master/MQv01dgi_1_4.ino

                    It includes (currently on a Mega):

                    • Barometer : BMP085
                    • Temperature + Humidity DHT11
                    • Particle sensor
                    • Gas sensors MQ2 MQ6 MQ131 MQ135 TGS2600 2SH12

                    To be added when stabilized:

                    • Sound level in DB

                    Could be added:

                    • Light sensor
                    • Vibration sensor
                    • PIR

                    rfx - Domoticz &lt;- MyDomoAtHome &lt;- Imperihome

                      Hi guys,

                      this is a one node with publishing DS temperatures and listening for relay commands I finished and tested yesterday>
                      https://github.com/pgo-sk/mysensors/blob/master/arduino/DS_and_Relay.ino
                      feel free to comment/use/publish...

                      I combined the Dalas and Relay examples together - you have to deactivate the sleep for the relays to listen 100% of time.
                      MQTT identification on openHAB:
                      MyMQTT/20/0/V_TEMP - DS sensor(s)
                      MyMQTT/20/1/V_LIGHT - relay 1
                      MyMQTT/20/2/V_LIGHT - relay 2

                      If somebody is interested I can post the maps/items files for openHAB

                      Regards,
                      Pego
                      PS I am working on an home automation system with solar hot air panels control/solar hot water panels and all the common stuff like lights/temperatures/weather etc.. More here: https://github.com/pgo-sk/mysensors/wiki/Home-automation-using-mysensors-and-openHAB

                                        I could not decide yet on a platform. OpenHAB should be my next test.
