@OldSurferDude I use this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-Solenoid-for-Battery-Operated-Timer-57861/203151515 Instead of having to hold the valve open, i can just pulse it. I use a simple motor controller to pulse it and when i need to close it, pulse it in "reverse". That way I could use a battery and if it only opens once or twice a day it's only a half a second or so of draw off the battery.

@OldSurferDude use a host name for the broker in the configure command (--my-controller-url-address=). Add the host name to /etc/hosts on the rpi where the gateway is. Start the MySensors gatway. When you want to switch brokers, modify /etc/hosts again and restart the MySensors gateway.

@electrik Thanks, I think I can do the same with the MQTT integration (not MySensors MQTT) OSD

I'm afraid you're not going to get many answers to your question if you provide not more information... type of heat pump, manufacturer what are the current possibilities of controlling this heat pump photo's electric schema's ... Try to give as much as possible (technical) information...

@kimot Thank you for your comment & tips.

Hi! Going through examples and forum topics I've noticed that I'm using the wrong S-type and V-type. I'm writing a new version of the code with S_LIGHT and V_LIGHT so there is now dimmer functionality (which I don't need). Let's see if this helps.

Hi there, I'm resuming this old topic 'cause I'm trying to make a dockerized version of MySensors gateway, built on a debian image. It compiles easily, but I'm stuck on transport initialization. No one tried it? Since I'm quite new to this, I can't give now a github link, but I'll do ASAP, so we can collaborate on this.

The RPI becomes an ethernet gateway.

Hi and welcome! I would say all of the examples in the build section has been converted to 2.0 (except maybe for some old build-projects created by external people). The examples with external library dependencies comes from here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/tree/master/examples and standalone examples here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/tree/development/examples

Might be helpful for somebody... Things configuration for OpenHab2: Bridge mysensors:bridge-eth:gateway_2 [ ipAddress="192.168.178.50", tcpPort=5003, sendDelay=200, enableNetworkSanCheck=true ] { /** define things connected to that bridge here */ light sonoff01 [ nodeId="0", childId="0", requestAck=true ] }

Let me complete the example given for the node when you use V_IR_SEND. In order to send IR codes you need to transform the code in an unsigned long: char ircode[11] = {0}; // in case your code takes the form of 0xE0E0FF0F ... if (message.type == V_IR_SEND) { String hexstring = message.getString(); hexstring.toCharArray(ircode, sizeof(ircode)); ... // get the code as an unsigned long unsigned long code = strtoul(ircode, NULL, 0); // with IRLib send the code to TV sendSAMSUNG(code); ... Very simple, ** but is hard to find an example**!

I've updated the docs at home-assistant.io with sketch examples. Look at the light example. https://home-assistant.io/components/light.mysensors/#example-sketch It's what I used for testing during development. It adds an RGB sensor/actuator also besides a dimmer, but you can just remove any references to rgb in the sketch. The dimmer slider will only be visible after turning on the light and clicking the entity in the gui to bring up the more info card.

Thanks again @martinhjelmare Upgrade went successfully.

@drock1985 Yes, it's possible to rename devices and also customize icons etc. See my post here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2388/home-assistant-how-to-recognize-mysensors-nodes/64

@Mufasa Yes, you can make custom names and groups of your devices. https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/devices/ Also read the blog post on customizing icons from version 0.8.
