Looks great !

Have you measured what the minimum load is for the dimmer to function correctly ? I currently use X10 in wall modules but run in to trouble when switching to LED lights. The load is too small.

No i have not tested any minimum loads at the moment, this is one of the next steps

Hello, nice project!
does your system may work without neutral wire ?

Hello. Any news from this project? Do you made the changes for the timer TLP?

Just to let you know that I solved the issue. I found a library where you can control the speed and make sure it get to it's position. You can find it here: https://github.com/netlabtoolkit/VarSpeedServo I incorporated it in the Mysensor sketch and it works eventhoug it looks like it only goes like 90 degrees but it's enough for me : #include <MySensor.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <VarSpeedServo.h> // #include <Servo.h> #define SERVO_DIGITAL_OUT_PIN 3 #define SERVO_MIN 0 // Fine tune your servos min. 0-180 #define SERVO_MAX 180 // Fine tune your servos max. 0-180 #define DETACH_DELAY 900 // Tune this to let your movement finish before detaching the servo #define CHILD_ID 10 // Id of the sensor child MySensor gw; MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID, V_DIMMER); VarSpeedServo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo // a maximum of eight servo objects can be created // Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo // a maximum of eight servo objects can be created Sensor gw(9,10); unsigned long timeOfLastChange = 0; bool attachedServo = false; void setup() { // Attach method for incoming messages gw.begin(incomingMessage); // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller gw.sendSketchInfo("Servo", "1.0"); // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices) gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_COVER); // Request last servo state at startup gw.request(CHILD_ID, V_DIMMER); } void loop() { gw.process(); if (attachedServo && millis() - timeOfLastChange > DETACH_DELAY) { myservo.detach(); attachedServo = false; } } void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) { myservo.attach(SERVO_DIGITAL_OUT_PIN); attachedServo = true; if (message.type==V_DIMMER) { // This could be M_ACK_VARIABLE or M_SET_VARIABLE int val = message.getInt(); myservo.write(SERVO_MAX + (SERVO_MIN-SERVO_MAX)/100 * val,255,true); // sets the servo position 0-180 // Write some debug info Serial.print("Servo changed. new state: "); Serial.println(val); } else if (message.type==V_UP) { Serial.println("Servo UP command"); myservo.write(SERVO_MIN,255,true); gw.send(msg.set(100)); } else if (message.type==V_DOWN) { Serial.println("Servo DOWN command"); myservo.write(SERVO_MAX,255,true); gw.send(msg.set(0)); } else if (message.type==V_STOP) { Serial.println("Servo STOP command"); myservo.detach(); attachedServo = false; } timeOfLastChange = millis(); }

Hello, I want to build this project. But I don't need to power it by batteries. Has anyone the circuit diagram (in FrizIng?) I have also the problem, that I can't see, on the breadboard picture of this project where the red wire from the battery ends after the connection to the Arduino? Does it go to the FET and the R7? Can anyone help me?

@mr_red I have a zipped snapshot of all the 3d step/wrl models that I used to build my projects so far. It was quite some work to gather them all and align with the footprints using the kicad stepup tools. It's not complete - still needs some more work:simple_smile: but it should help you or anyone else to get started into MCAD integration using FreeCAD and kicad stepup tools. Maybe it's not very easy to start when using free tools but hey they are "FREE" so we cannot ask for more. But the nice thing is that once you get used it will be really easy to do your stuff and to go forward. Oh and FreeCAD can be so powerful after you learn it - I was really amazed what you can do with it(it has it's quirks and downsides but once you master it - oh, well...). There's also: https://www.onshape.com/ - pretty powerful this one too and it has more advanced features than FreeCAD but the downside is that it's a cloud based solution: it's free for public documents but you never know when they will go to paid accounts only so yeah...I don't really like the idea to depend on something that it's hosted and the application is not on my PC along with the documents that I create with it. Cloud solutions have their flexibility but you're locked and you depend entirely on that hosted service. Ok, enough talking...I uploaded the zip file here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/kzh1l9uo40cpj1u/kicad_stepup_packages.zip

Hi @chey, no, with the pro minis and MySensors lib I couldn't get less. Didn't measure with yet another multimeter though... My battery sensors are working now for about a year and the battery levels are between 65% and 70%. The sensor furthest from the gateway is at 65% and the 3 others at 70%. Not bad I think. https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/11499/checking-mechanical-locked-doors-by-a-battery-based-windows-door-sensor-node

BTW, I like how you both made a case for it. Very nice!

Is this design for some existing enclosure?
