@tjay4x4 I completely understand.
Until about 3-4 weeks ago I did not even know what an Arduino was.
Yet, here I am creating a plugin for Indigo (I did not know about Indigo until about 8 weeks ago) and creating/testing very basic sensors.
Today I started creating my first 'home-grown' sensor and guess what: You have to try it to understand it
I know from experience that you can ask just about anything when you get stuck...
@ricardot said in pimatic-mysensors controller plugin:
@Dheeraj,
Do you plan to continue to develop this plugin? I will very pleased to see a mysensors button. Thank you!
I second this. And also see if we can lose the dependency on serialport 2.0.6 so that we can use Node.js > 4.9.1
i think i finally get it.
It is impossible... well the only way to let nodes communicate with each other is when a gateway is available (directly or trough other nodes) when the node is starting up.
This forum discussion is explaining me the most..
a solution may be.. transform the node that is always on to an gateway. And use antoher channel.. Sidenode; then you can't tell the controller what the status is.
Is there realy no way that this can supported? Node to node comunication without the need of an gateway inside the network? Skipping the registration and just send the message around.
perhaps i will dive into the source one day and change the registration behavior.
Thanks anyway for the help and the very fast responding.

@pebri86 Yes, I will implement smartSleep feature. But it will take bit more time. may be after release. Please raise a ticket for this feature request to follow. https://github.com/mycontroller-org/mycontroller/issues
between what type of actions do we(controller) need to do with smartsleep nodes?
Actually all action like reboot, erase configuration, or send values to node since all battery node do sleep all the time and can't response while sleep.
Hi John,
appLog.txt
I also tried using datatype string but it doesen't work. Meanwhile I have studies the log files more detailed and found the following behavior:
when defining the device skeletal and when updating the derived device (first approx. 25 lines in the log file V_STATUS is declared as string with values 51 resp. 52 as specified in the web interface. The entity is "Modul 433 MHz".
Later on, when using the toggle switch in the web interface the value has changed in the decription in the log file (see line 164 or 185) value has been changed to on/off. With this definition it seem that the mysensors-Plugin is feeded has been changed from the specified values.
My conclusion is that the change is taking place somewhere outside the mysensors-plugin.
By the way, if I change the type to string do I have to use quotation marks in the web interface?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Martin
