Raspberry Pie 4, RFM69 - Noobie questions

kiesel last edited by

Hi,

I hope it's ok to open these types of posts here.

I would like to use openHab on an Raspberry Pie 4, I decided on a RFM69HCW (868MHz) transmitter because those seem to have a good range (Admittedly I don't need all that range because I life in a small flat, but it would be nice to be future-proof).

I figured I could build good and cheap (battery driven) sensors with some Arduino Pro Minis, EasyPCBs and other RFM69 transmitters.

Is this a good setup? Or should I change anything?

About attaching the RFM69HCW to the RPi4: This is probably the easiest way to attach the RFm69 to the Pie, right?

If I got the documentation here right then the mysensors library is all I need to run the RFM69 on the Pie, correct?

Thanks for the help!

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

It probably has to do with fewer people buying them once summer ends, so companies might lower prices to clear out stock before winter.

we’ve been using Triton detectors at my school for a while now, they catch both nicotine and THC vapor fast and it sends an alert right when someone vapes, even picks up small amounts. it’s probably the closest thing you’ll find for what you need.

@OldSurferDude Thanks! I didn't touch the Arduino IDE for a while and forgot that the MYSBootloader doesn't come included in the Mysensor's library... My bad. Thanks for the link! I should had searched first... I use the OTA feature since 2017... It works well. So well that I forgot how to load the bootloader... Regards!

Hello I still didn't figure it out exactly, what is the issue with LGT8F328P and arduino, but for start, it can work, if you define 4x faster baud rate. So I define MY_BAUD_RATE 76800 and connect terminal with 19200, and it works. LGT is started in 8 MHz by default, and it looks like this is not corrected with mysensors. But this only helped for serial port, because later I had issues with DHT library timings. If I later change speed to 16 MHz and start serial port again, it works as expected: noInterrupts(); CLKPR = 0x80; CLKPR = 0x01; interrupts(); Serial.begin(19200);
