      Thanks @terence-faul
      I can't see any problem with the sketches.

        @Terence-Faul The only thing I can say is that it is generally good practice to put all #include statements at the start of the code, then all the #define statements and finally all other items. At the moment you #define things before you #include the library and maybe that is an issue for the compiler?

          @skywatch while your recommendation is good in general, all MySensors defines (MY_*) must be defined before including MySensors.h. Otherwise the defines won't be available to the library, so the library will need to fall back on the default settings.

                    Please assist, I am trying to combine the default straight from the examples, but the DHT give an error on compile

                    Hi @terence-faul did you fix this?

                    i'm also trying too merge a door & dht sketch but have not got a clue where too start

                    if you have solved this can you post the working sketch

                      How much power are you feeding the sensor? I've had issues when I've fed too little power and it's resolved once I use more power.
