    So it is definitely a confirmed bug. I ended up finding some old sample code from when I started this last year and this bit of code was actually in the setup method and not in goGetValveTimes:

          lcd.print(F(" Updating  "));
          lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
          lcd.print(F(" Valve Data: "));
          lcd.print(valveIndex);
    

    So some time in the past year the sample code had been changed.

    good to see you found it. I haven't looked at the code for two years, and mine is still working. (@petewill 's demo worked well too). there must have been some change that managed its way into the source

    maybe look on GitHub and do a pull request if you the problem is there...

        @tombstone You shouldn't need to read all the posts. Maybe just search the thread if you run into any snags. What kind of setup are you dropping this into? Do you currently have valves installed? Does your setup have a master valve or pump relay? Is it a standard 24V AC system?

                              If you are looking for Software, try openhab.

                              You need to buy Vera, but the software is free.

                                    @tombstone

                                    What hardware are you using for the gateway? Arduino, Sensebender GW, ESP8266, is it wired or wireless?

                                    Does it get an IP address from your router?

                                    Can you successfully telnet to the above IP address on port 5003? (And what is the output)

                                    Does the gateway send any logs to the serial port? If yes, then post them on the forum.

                                      The hardware I'am using for the gateway is the Arduino pro mini and its wireless from the NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver

                                      I don't know if it is getting IP address from my router.

                                      have not use telnet before (I have just youtube it and enabled it... all what i got from youtube was that you can send email lol cool)

                                      Does the gateway send any logs to the serial port? If yes, then post them on the forum. (were do I get them logs the ones from Domoticz and below but not much info to go on)

                                      Thanks :-D

                                        @tombstone

                                        How is the promini connected to the device runnning domoticz?

                                        To me it sounds like that you have the promini connected directly to your computer where domoticz is running, then you should add it as a serial gateway, and not ethernet gateway

                                        If you haven't already done this, I suggest that you read about the mysensors network so you have a basic understanding on how mysensors works.
