I turned off the affiliate setup on openhardware when CodeGarage took over the cost of hosting MySensors/OpenHardware.io along with turning off all google ads. The "Buy" functionality on openhardware.io involved alot of manual handling and support. It was not worth the effort. You can still make a donation to @sundberg84 when using his designs. I'm sure he appriciate it. [image: 1769085508704-99017911-478a-449e-8ec1-f55ee103f378-image.png]

Thanks ! Hi, this is a great news for MySensors ! I was testing Blue Pill (stm32f1) with stm32 maple core and display library, and now moving to the stm32duino core : everything is ok, and sleep mode seems promising. I have few Black Pill (stm32f4), waiting for test. The hal library is so complete now !

@nagelc wow, you're right! Last time I had bothered looking, it had been multiple years I think since the last commit. Thanks for saying something - I had no clue!

@tekka Thank you!

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.
