    Thanks, it seems the switches also turn on the relays directly?
    I have to figure out the code. I just want to have independent switch inputs.

    If there is some code which has only switches it would help a lot :)

    Regards

      Just concentrate on the looping over arrays logic, then it's not that hard to break the link between the buttons and the relays. Did this myself here, despite having a lot of other stuff done there maybe this helps ;-)

        Thanks, I will dive into the code then :-)

          Well to make three inputs I've come to this using the code you mentioned...
          I've removed the invert function because I could get Domotics invert the
          monitoring. And I've added an initial read at startup. Because at powering-up
          the switches were not read. Any comments? Regards!

            Seems to be a good starting point, but some remarks:

            • Using PINs 10-12 might not be the best choice in case you want to add a radio later (my code was for RS485@HWSerial)
            • Doing this kind of task using arrays gives much more flexibility and easier reading imho

            So essential Part of the sketch could be reduced to something like (untested, changing PINs recommended):

            ...
            #include <Bounce2.h>
            
            #define FIRST_PIR_ID 1
            #define MAX_PIRS 3 
            const uint8_t pirPin[] = {10, 11,12};   //  switch around pins to your desire
            Bounce debouncer[MAX_PIRS];
            MyMessage pirMsg(0, V_TRIPPED);
            bool oldPir[MAX_PIRS] = {false};
            
            void before()
            {
            }
            
            void presentation() {
              // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
              sendSketchInfo(SN, SV);
              // Fetch the number of attached temperature sensors
            
              for (int i = 0; i < MAX_PIRS; i++) { //i < numSensors &&
                present(FIRST_PIR_ID + i, S_MOTION);
              }
            }
            
            void setup()
            {
              for (uint8_t i = 0; i < MAX_PIRS; i++) {
                debouncer[i] = Bounce();                        // initialize debouncer
                debouncer[i].attach(pirPin[i], INPUT_PULLUP);
                debouncer[i].interval(5);
                oldPir[i] =  debouncer[i].read();
              }
            }
            
            void loop() {
              
              bool pir[MAX_PIRS];
              for (uint8_t i = 0; i < MAX_PIRS; i++) {
                debouncer[i].update();
                pir[i] = debouncer[i].read();
                if (pir[i] != oldPir[i]) {
                  send(pirMsg.setSensor(FIRST_PIR_ID + i).set( pir[i])); // Send tripped value to gw
                  oldPir[i] = pir[i];
                }
              } 
            }```

              Thanks for the comment, I will look at it.

              Another question, the inputs look exactly like an output in domoticz.
              I can even switch on the lamp with the mouse. Of course there is nothing happening
              because it is an input. But it is a bit confusing. Is this a Domoticz setting? Or can I change
              something in the MySensors code for this? Thanks!

                @pdp8 Despite not beeing familiar with domoticz, this behaviour seems to be logic to me: You presentet a light device, so this typiclly is switchable from controller side.
                You might either change the handling within domiticz or present a different Child Type (my code uses motion).

                  Hmm, I've changed it to S_DOOR now. But I still can turn it on and off in Domoticz.
                  I guess this is a Domoticz thing and has nothing to do with MySensors... Weird...

                    it's normal with domoticz same motion you can do it off
                    you have to protect how it works you can not operate it anymore

                      @pdp8 By default Domoticz will add a S_BINARY, S_DOOR, S_MOTION and S_DIMMER (and likely a few others) device in the form of a switchable lamp. You can add it to the active devices and then change the type to be a different device.

                      For example when you create a S_MOTION device, it initially gets added as a lamp in Domoticz, but then you can later change the switch type to be a motion sensor. This changes the icon displayed in Domoticz and also stops you from changing the state.

                        yes you can change
                        you go on switch press edit after a window that opens
                        you go to Switch Type and you find motion
                        safeguard
