@Sasquatch I have not found a good schematic of what is happening inside the WIO E5 Module. My only references were here from the wiki here: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/LoRa-E5_STM32WLE5JC_Module/ https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/LoRa_E5_Dev_Board/ These only address the high power WIO-E5, not the LE. They a reference to the WL55jc dev board. I found a document for that with this table: [image: 1767815994082-b3dafb9f-bf35-43fe-99b9-a708c45e8d3b-image.png] So, Maybe it should be HIGH, HIGH for the low power mode. I'm traveling now, but will do some experimenting when I get home.

@OldSurferDude thanks a lot for your input. You are right. I remember reading this as well. SSRs need a minimal load on output side in order to latch properly I chose these relays because of noise: the electric cabinet for circuit breakers and relays is located next to the bedroom. At first cabinet was filed with mechanical 240V AC relays 😂 🤯 I will have a second try with the tiny Omron Chinese clones, in case they need much less load to latch properly. Thanks a lot for you help 👍🏻 I’ll come back here to conclude (either Omron SSRs or mech style relays).

Thanks for reporting @Honk @hek has fixed the cert issue now

@OldSurferDude Thanks!

Merry Christmas all!

It is the receiver's eeprom that needs to be cleared. In most MySensors networks, the receiver is the gateway. But since MySensors supports node to node communication (for example a button node sending a message to a relay node), any node can be a receiver. So in the example, the eeprom of the relay node would also need to be cleared.

Hey everyone, I’ve been messing around with these sound sensors lately too. The biggest headache I’ve found isn’t the wiring, but actually calibrating the 'sensitivity' screw so it doesn't just trigger on every little background hum. If you're trying to figure out if your sensor is actually picking up the right ambient levels, I found this web tool https://noisemeter.co/ pretty handy. It’s easier than lugging a dedicated SPL meter around just to see if your room's baseline noise matches what the Arduino is reporting. Curious to see if anyone has managed to get a reliable 'glass break' or 'clapper' trigger out of these without a ton of false positives!

I actually write a non MS sketch first - well for the more complicated things - and when that works I add MS code. That way you can be sure that everything works fine before you enable MS on your node.

@Arvie_Mamayson It was fixed a couple of weeks ago. I just tested and works for me

I concur with @TheoL, though I understand the desire to have better control over your interface. The MySensors serial interface is well documented. You might consider MQTT as a transport mechanism. MQTT Explorer allows you to view the data which makes debugging easier. Good luck with your project.

If you’re already using MySensors, Home Assistant is definitely worth a look - great community, lots of integrations, and works really well with DIY setups. OpenHAB is another solid option if you prefer something more configurable.

@David-Jenkins Hi, good evening!! I can't find these examples. Can you share the link to the sketches? Thank you so much!

Hah! Been there, done that. Well done on finding the source of your issue and sharing the solution so others might benefit! Kudos.

My guess is that the the leakage power captured can only supply that amount of current (at the specified voltage)

That is a great clarification on the use of #define MY_PASSIVE_NODE! Knowing that it works by simply letting the node skip all the 'normal' stuff (which wasn't needed anyway) and that there are no major disadvantages for this specific use case is super useful.

@ben999 Yes I have 3 gateways 1 nfrf and 1 rm for production. And 1 nrf gw for test. The test gw is on a separare PI I might run a 4th gw. Also an rfm on the test machine.

Sorry to necro but, you may be interested to hear that someone published a solution to controlling Neato locally on GitHub. Unfortunately it requires a hardware modification in form of an ESP32 or similar board, but with it you should be able to use your Neato with Home Assistant, for example. I haven't yet tested this myself, but the solution looks worth a look and the instructions seem clear enough. https://github.com/Philip2809/neato-connected As I've received the dreaded shutdown email, I'll be looking into this once I have more time to tinker.

@dbemowsk said in MySensors node not working with Alexa on my Vera: Is there anyone that either still uses a Vera controller or knowssomething about how they work with Alexa? My issue is that my thermostat bridge had the Arduino Pro Mini die and I had to flash a new one. When I did this I had to re-discover it with MySensors in Vera. I then had to delete the node from Alexa to add the new one, but when I go to the list of discoverable devices it doesn't show up. I can control it fin on the Vera but can't add it to Alexa. Sounds tricky! If Vera controls it fine, the issue is likely with the Alexa integration, sometimes a full “refresh” or restarting the Alexa app after re-adding the device in Vera helps it show up.
