@YuryPol as far as I know, all licenses require some form of documentation. In all cases I know of, this is documented with the license or on the licenses official site.

@IronFelix I would not combine so many inputs and outputs in one sketch. But I think if there is enough memory for variables ; then it is possible to go for sensing (step by step) for a combination of sensors. Similarly for buttons, actuators, use a separate hardware.

Hmmm. Looking up scintillometers, I see they are advertised as "large aperture", so you may need an array of photo[diodes,cells], which adds a lot of complexity, matching, summing etc,but maybe you could get away with a condenser lens.

@Serg2055 as the name says, openhardware.io is for open hardware. You are allowed to sell PCB units, partially or fully soldered boards, but selling source is not an acceptable option. Please include readable schematic and source of your boards or at least gerbers or bom. For all your boards posted on openhardware.io. Thank you !

Advantage of this sensor is fast and easy installing by the non qualified personal. The sensor is designed for large agriculture facility with many greenhouses where is needed to be controlled temperature and humidity, the atmospheric pressure is for control the motor of air inlet and outlet. With help of the sensor installed outside the greenhouse provide information about positive/negative pressure inside the greenhouse. Finlay the software read accurate temp/humid value of the Si7021, and only atmospheric pressure of BMP180, the temperature sensor inside the BMP180 is used only by the sensor itself to provide accurate atmospheric pressure measurements. The sensor can be used also for home automation, and drone applications where is needed correction of the UAV barometric sensor compared to the ground barometric sensor, also humidity measurement can help the pilot to calculate more accurate flying time.

@scalz Maybe this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_radiometer I'm not sure if it's overkill, but it does look like it would do the job.

Sorry, 1 more question. At what timeframe do you expect diy packages to be for sale? I have checked with steel manufactures before for other projects, but having a small batch of steel tubes means that they will be enormously expensive and the same goes for the PCB's. The milling I can do easily at a maker space (fablab013). I am planning on a rather long, 1 storey hive, so I plan to cut the metal tubes in half and mount an extension in between.

I've thought of that already but @nagelc thanks for the suggestion though!!

Hi! I have the same problem as terxw. allpcb.com is missing the "NC drill date". Unfortunately I am not able to create this on my own. Can anybody upload this file? Thanks

I have published all the documentation in a Github repository. If someone wants to make PCBs, I recommend that you wait a little longer until you receive my PCBs and try them. https://github.com/giltesa/SmartHome

That's right @gohan , if you place the "door closed"reed near the floor then only first interrupt should matter, first interrupt should tell you the door is closed. Same for a second reed placed high - the "door open" reed, that would tell you the door is open when interrupted the first time. @McQueen, could be close to you needs ...

@scalz I guess you have the answer to that question?

@MikeSalmida, No GPS sensor device definition exists for Vera. If you're up to it, create one and add it to the Vera plugin repository.

@gohan said in Arduino Pro Mini Shield for RFM69(H)W: If I remeber right that pin is used as input so the RFM69 is not receiving any 5v signal. In addition there are people claming they have the RFM69 module working on 5v on data pins and 3.3v on vcc, but I hardly suggest to do it. thank you just what i thought . about direct 5v on data...well... i seen a big red sign saying n :DONT do it! lol Level converters are so cheap...that i ordered 5 or 10 thoguether with rfm69 board. sorry about hijack this topic, i though i was on general discussion

What about a vibration sensor? At least in my kitchen, the fans do produce a slight vibration to the metal roof thing. They pretty cheap on Ebay, I must try it myself...

@Samuel235 Nice with the same circuit right?? which is in 2nd pic?

@AWI I discovered it the hard way tonight. Lot of "Unknown sensor type" in my domoticz log. I have it working by declaring it as a distance, pressure etc. It's really dirty but at least for know I can track my RPMs. I guess I will try to poke around on the domoticz forums this week end to see if there is something cooking on their side. Thanks!

Thanks again @martinhjelmare Upgrade went successfully.

Hi! if it can help.. https://github.com/hallard/MAX31865-Breakout https://github.com/hallard/arduino-max31865

@Tmaster You give each sensor a child id (0-254) in the node.

@BulldogLowell said: @mntlvr said: And if all six switches are set to gnd the total current would only be 1.5 ma (5volts /20k)x6=.0015 amps I believe. the internal pullup resistors are 20k-50k according to arduino spec. yeah, I know, but if you are underpowered already (the radio....) the extra draw may create an issue... who the heck knows. I'll try on one of mine when I get the chance... your code works, and that's a treat, but now I need to understand why the simpler execution of the same code doesn't seem to cooperate with your rig.

If you look at the Netatmo devices you can see that they have plastic caps and a long plastic notch. I'd bet that the antenna can be found in such an area... I dont think that a small thickness will help to let the radio signal pass. Think of that very thin µ-metal sheet covers on high frequency circuits e.g. in TV or Radio inputs (where you want to stop a radio transmission). They are built to not let radio waves pass and they are thin - so I dont think the thickness plays a major role. As Bulldog wrote paramagnetic blocks radio waves. And aluminum stays paramagnetic even if you reduce the thickness. But I made the experience that relatively small areas, where the radio waves will not get blocked (e.g. plastic caps) can make the difference between no signal and "its working". Also keep in mind that nearly all antennas have a direction. So changing the orienation of the antenna might dramatically change the transmitting capabilties.

@vladimir No, I use a WIZ5100 module. Search the forum. Many users (try) :-)) to use ENC28J60.

I apologize for the questions and how simple they may be, as Im new to this community but very intrigued with the creativity and endless possibilities.

Hey guys, I was justing wondering, is there a way to deactivate the motion sensor if not being used? Eg: My motion sensors are connected to Homeseer and they show up as sensors but I was wondering if I could have an ON / OFF control to deactivate or active the motion as needed.

Any updates on how this turned out?

@Mouridsen Thanks for the follow up!

I'm thinking of 4 PIR sensors (at each end of the two aisles). And I was thinking of a reed switch at the top of the garage door opening, and one at the door into the house. And the most convenient location for the relays controlling the lights is still a 7th location. I could put 7 wireless nodes into the garage, but then I have to run power to all of them - if 5v we still have the same long wire issues, if 120VAC then I need 7 power supplies. And the local control now involves passing messages between nodes rather than just sensing input pins and controlling output pins on the same uC. The cables supply power to the RF enabled nodes will have the same length (whether DC or AC power) as the cables going to a simple sensor, and follow the same routes. So it would be possible to do that, but at considerable cost in money and time and complexity - compared to just running a three or 4 wire cable from the main node to a $2 PIR located 1o-20 feet away, if that can easily be made to work (perhaps with the addition of a couple of small, cheap passive components. I don't know if I do need to worry about inductance, capacitance, reflections etc - that's why I'm asking. These things aren't usually specified one way or the other - you kind of need some practical experience. If those are indeed killers that cannot be fixed with a couple of passives, then I may go to the "make every sensor a full node with AC power supply and distribute AC to them instead" route. But wouldn't it be nice if I can do a $2 easy fix instead? One data point - in the Do It Yourself Christamas lighting control community, they routinely get away with sending TTL or CMOS signals quite a ways from a control unit to an optoisolator input (which controls a Triac to form a SSR which does PWM dimming of an AC circuit). The signals are just a 120 Hz PWM signal but the edge timing is at 120Hz * 256 PWM divisions. You won't find much about driving a 50' cable from a TTL or CMOS output in the datasheets, but it works in this application! It would not work if you were sending a 1 Mbps signal tho. So I have some hope that a PIR 20 feet down a cable may be able to pass back a quite usable logic signal, since it changes rather rarely. But I was hoping for some advice about the gotchas. Remember the sensors I've mentioned are magnetic reed switches, LDRs, and PIR sensors - only the latter needs power per se separate from the signal.

Hi.... hehe... I must decode it from source code?? hmmmm... interesting... where I need to write my question? power down mode .. every 1 sec wake up .. using timer2 32kHy crystal 2.make sensor with more sensor type in one device .. for example .. temperature , energy meter, bin input state.. etc..

@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.

@grint how would a compass sensor perform in a lawnmower robot?

take care to have the good number of pin, some sketch use digital others analogic... I've ordered light sensors and sound sensors without analogic, I couldn't use them for my target use...

Very Cool -- Thanks
