@emdzej - I'm not sure but it's designed for 3.3v. you have to check the rfm radio for Max input voltage on VCC and io. I think it's 3.3v so you might have to regulate down your lipo battery to this.

@LastSamurai Thanks for the image, I had the address as localhost instead of the IP of the raspberry PI, changed it and everything works now @gohan , yes, I upgraded to beta version since release doesn't have MQTT support yet.

@user2684 Thanks a lot

@mfalkvidd ahhhhh That answers my question perfectly....i was just dumping it into notepad ++ ill try that first thing in the morning.

@maltimus - thanks, I can see the picture. frstratingly I have the Vera Edge though!

slight bump to this topic rather than starting a new one since I have some more questions Are there any example sketches for setting variables on a node? Thinking I'd want at least 2 variables. Is there a proper way for a node to report time to the controller or other nodes? This one will be powered 100% of the time so responding to messages shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one but best way to set up a sketch to report the temp every X when it isn't the main function of the node. Thanks in advance.

@daulagari There are some on AliExpress. A bit cheaper than Antratek but not much. Not 100% sure you get the Uno shield adapter but it seems so. Still no big deal with the price since we only need one gateway.
