I'm aware of the superiority of 1.4. Because I just started with building my custom controller I will go with the development branch for now. I really like the new protocol so far.
I'm using very basic arduino sketches at the moment. The only thing I'm worried about is my custom controller that I'm building in Node-Red. Hopefully the feature changes will not have to much impact on that part.
I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system.
So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please?

One last thing I'd like to clarify after re-reading my previous post.
The correct send string I entered in the terminal is without trailing ";" - like it was supposed before. As mentioned, the problem has been the BAUD rate of 156k with 8MHz crystal..
So the correct command which will change the PWM -Dimmer level on node 3 to 50% is:
3;0;1;0;3;50\n
No, youre right, that wouldnt work for battery powered. I chop the ends off old cell phone chargers and try to keep a room's sensors down to a single box. The only one I've considered being battery powered is the "Mailbox opened" one but thats another project. The polling is really just to allow getting realtime data when you want it. If I think about it more, Ill probably leave it out. I was just thinking out loud near the end.
Hi dzairo,
Just wondering if you still monitor this thread. If so would love to know how to install the ComPort component so I can modify and use your terminal code. For some reason I don't have any luck with adding it to the IDE.
thanks, Andy.
Hi. It's long time .. but standard function is : gw.processRadioMessage();
and I make changes in source code in MyGateway.cpp to this :
char MyGateway::processRadioMessage() {
char isMessage=0;
if (process()) {
// A new message was received from one of the sensors
isMessage=1;
MyMessage message = getLastMessage();
if (mGetCommand(message) == C_PRESENTATION && inclusionMode) {
rxBlink(3);
} else {
rxBlink(1);
}
// Pass along the message from sensors to serial line
serial(message);
}
checkButtonTriggeredInclusion();
checkInclusionFinished();
return isMessage;
}
But in new library is not file MyGateway.cpp .. then I don't now ..
using is :
if (gw.processRadioMessage()==1) {..}
regards..
there is possible make easy gateway .. controler .. to control only light for example.. then we don't need external controller .. etc..
