    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?

        Somebody has good result in a working multisensor and wants to share his code?

        @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

                    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'm also following along interested in the Temp, Humidity, and motion sensor.

                                          It runs quit stable on my old WinXP64Pro Quadcore w/many virtual machines on it.
                                          Have still some problems with the syntax of the openHAB settings, but else nice controller ;)
