Over 4 years on, and my node ran continuously sending 4 messages every 5 minutes. It's 700mAh LiFePo4 battery voltage dropped from initial 3.45V to 3.24V, according to LiFePo4 voltge/SoC tables It's just under 40% left. 700*60% = 420mAh. 100 mAH per year. using library 2.40 and blob message I could cut usage to ~25mAh/year, not bad

@OldSurferDude yes, just run the configure command with --my-transport=none

Wow @Nicklas-Starkel congrats, that sounds great! And thanks for the feedback. Would you mind sharing your setup? Regards, Edi

@mfalkvidd Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for the answer. I meant that Mysensors has ESP32 support but only in terms of WIFI. It supports e.g. stm32 with ENC or W5500 modules - and the question is whether and how to add ESP32 support with LAN8720 module. I am not considering using ESPHOME or MQTT - I want to have native communication with the controller that implements my control schemes on its side. I try to program KC868-A16 but it does not matter - the question is whether such support can be added in a simple way.

@badisensors I have this same issue and am struggling to find a consice answer to the question. Have you figured it out? I would love to see a bit more detail about the important naming and numbering protocals for Gateways, Nodes, Sensors, and their output values within the MySensors architecture. So far, I am not finding much and progress is slow when I simply need to try different iterations and make conclusions/adjustments.

Thanks for the offer @TheoL ! I have moved on to a differenct project. Also, a lesson that I have learned many times, "If it works, don't fix it!" ;) -OSD

Hi, Thank for your reply. Yes, i run since many years with a serial Gateway connected with my PI. I thought it was possible to use the same machine to remove this extra element. If you had a stability issue, I would just stick with my current formula and not change everything for now. Regards,

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind if I decide to debug it. I realized that I am also tired of patching the gateway through to the doctor container inside an LXC so now I am looking at creating an esp gateway. Just need to check if I can find a pcb on here. Thanks again!

I've found that: char *protocolMyMessage2Serial(const MyMessage &message) { (void)snprintf_P(_fmtBuffer, (uint8_t)MY_GATEWAY_MAX_SEND_LENGTH, PSTR("%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%s\n"), message.getSender(), message.getSensor(), message.getCommand(), message.isEcho(), message.getType(), message.getString(_convBuffer)); return _fmtBuffer; } We put in the print "message.getEcho()", but this isn't echoed message. I think we should put "message.getRequestEcho()" here.

It probably has to do with fewer people buying them once summer ends, so companies might lower prices to clear out stock before winter.

@TheoL there are two pull requests adding support for newer versions. One is guaranteed to break again. One should not break in the future, but will instead break all existing sketches. I’m sure a third option would be welcome if you write the code and submit.

I have mixed Nanos, Pro Minis, ESP8266 and Unos and no problem. I do however have mixed NRF24L01 and NRF24L01+ due to a bad AliExpress saler that stated he sold NRF24L01+ which in fact were not the + version. So I have set my baudrate on all nodes to 1mb. In order to be helpful we need the log on the Uno.

LiFePO4 batteries are a great choice because they have a long life cycle and are much safer than other lithium-based batteries. However, you need a solar charge controller that’s compatible with LiFePO4 to prevent overcharging and maintain efficiency. A good MPPT controller can significantly boost energy harvest from your panels. Also, ensure your solar panel output matches your power needs. If you're in solar ireland, you might find some local companies that offer tailored solutions for maximizing solar efficiency in lower light conditions.

Figured it out. I had to send HVAC_FLOW_STATE to HA, in order for it to figure out that it was a "thermostat". Only problem is that it shows up with states "Auto" "Cool" "Heat" and "Off" in the dashboard, even though I only have the possibility to heat, or turn it off.
