@NeverDie
Received sound relay switch and connected to my alarm aux power in parallel with pir to supply power, added 100mA fuse on positive dc cable to prevent module making any problems with alarm panel but not sure if i was supposed to do it on negative dc wire.
Connected Normally Closed circuit to relay Com and NC contacts and adjusted sensitivity of microphone and time. Microphone is sensitive to claps but in my case it has to be a loud hand clap to trigger it. It has status led that shows when relay is activated so I can see if it is working on my monthly sensor checks.
Looking at my original intentions I am not 100% there as I am relying on single smoke sensor and its speaker. I think I will wait a few years and maybe something will come up that has relay (not relying on internet) but in the meantime I am happy to have something working and have some peace when I am away knowing that something is monitoring it (ordered same relay module for backup).
Have a good weekend
@BearWithBeard Wow, thanks for this detailed answer!
Today, I received an answer from Ebyte:
Yes, because of the shortage of chips, E01-ML01D is temporarily out of stock. It will be available in next mouth, if you have a purchase plan, please book as soon as possible.
@skywatch So, there is hope
One little project and you're hooked! You know you're going to want another sensor in the yard, so consider a gateway running MQTT (called a broker). Once you have that, it's really easy to add more sensors.
But if you're really strong willed an will only be using two devices ever, you might look at https://nrf24.github.io/RF24/index.html. You can get an Arduino Nano and an nRF24 radio for about $3.50 from Aliexpress (downside: delivery takes ~2 months, so get 10 each.)
MySensors Library can do this, too, but I find it a little bloated.
Personal note: I'm 70, retired engineer, and have only four projects going right now.
HI All.
Still having problems and this is my first purchase from PCBway not sure if the code need to be changed for this board but I am using PCB MySensors Gateway Ethernet 3.0 developed by fifisoft57. The radios work on other projects and it is almost like the pins are not correct I traced them and they appear right but......... Has anyone used this board if so did you have any issues? I would say it is my solder job but I did 3 boards one should work.
ANy help would be great.
@BearWithBeard said in Report in Imperial Units:
...
I feel like I gave you the same answer as above, just differently worded.
Still, I hope this makes it a little bit clearer for you.
Thank you very much for this. What you did in this one is flat out state that MySensors is unit agnostic and does no conversion, etc. The existence of getControllerConfig().isMetric made me think there was more than a setting which said "This network is in a imperial/metric location." Probably because I am not used to coding or examples for both via a setting, but typically see "comment out ___ and uncomment ___ for ___ units." I now understand that this was my error and do agree that the setting is a better solution than I am familiar with. So while you may feel you stated the same, what was missing for me was a that the sensor library was used to control reporting units and not MySensors. Makes sense to me as I was wondering how mixed units might be handled.
Again, thank you very much for explaining this.
Kindest Regards,
Karl S
