Some updates in almost one year.
I moved all the gateways and controller part in a most suitable location
I've created a dual current sensor for the fuse box and the inverter. Each Current sensors can withstand 90A max, so I used both channels in parallel. The sensors are defined for both Channel 1, 2 and Sum(Ch1+Ch2) to handle this case easily
Recently I made an updated version of my Photovoltaic monitor since the 20A that the old one could withstand are not enough now, so the new version is capable of 50A max. Still waiting the Hall sensors though...
Finally, I cleaned up a bit the deployment under the bench
but I am not done yet
@NeverDie You have a point. The TPL is also simpler.
But bless the developer. Yes, I was trying to hype his product. I forgot to mention that doing this current test was really easy because this thing just worked... right out of the box (really, out of the anti-static bag.) Rarely have things work so quickly for me. Even the TPL required fumbling.
So if sleeping is the objective and timing isn't really important, then the TPL it is. But if configuration settings, Bluetooth, ADC, I2C, SPI and timing are relevant, then the Trigboard is the way to go.
@hlehoux said in long-term usage of nRF24L01+ with PA: no reliable transmission:
Maybe try E01-ML01DP5 Long Range SPI nRF24L01P 2.4Ghz 100mW SMA Antenna IoT Wireless Transceiver
^^^This.
Or, based on your description, use a load switch, like a MOS tube, to completely turn-off power to your transceiver when not in use, and then turn it back on just prior to use. It shouldn't be necessary, but sounds as though it would work for your hardware if nobody has any further answers for you. Good luck!
@NeverDie avoid tuya devices: they are intendly made to work only with the tuya app.
people try to work this around , for instance in ZHA quirks, but this is a nightmare of reverse engineering
It turns out it will accept .rar files without attempting to extract their contents, so I used that method to post an in-tact archive. Somebody please post if there are any other ways.
