    @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

      z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
      rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
      mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

        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

                        Yes :), for the sketches mentioned earlier.

                              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 ;)

                                @blacey I tried this already. This is a simple dimmer node, not RGB. It's work fine.
                                But I would like to use a RGB colorpicker in openhab.

                                  I would do that soon too. Would you like to have a node only as rgbw dimmer or maybe with a lux sensor as I like to do to also adjust for constant light/lux in the room?

                                  In my menu you can see the setpoint for lux under the light sensor.

                                    I would do that soon too. Would you like to have a node only as rgbw dimmer or maybe with a lux sensor as I like to do to also adjust for constant light/lux in the room?

                                    In my menu you can see the setpoint for lux under the light sensor.

                                    @pgo The RGB Colorpicker works already in openhab.
                                    I have some problem in arduino side...i tried update the sample DimmerActuator code, but didn't work. I tried korttoma's code, but it didn't works for me, too.

                                    (e.g. message.header.childId -didn't work)

                                      Can you post the HW connections you use on arduino and the items/sitemap of the dimmer in openHAB? I can then check on my install.

                                        Has anyone made ​​RGB LED strip node? I am looking for a working example program ...

                                        I combined Humidity and Lux code. Serial monitor works ok (see below) but for some reason when I try to add node to Vera I get only node, temp and lux (no humidity). I guess something is wrong in combined sketch?

                                          gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));
                                          gw.send(msgHum.set(humidity, 1));
                                          gw.send(msg.set(lux)); I miss here ",1"
