Project: Driveway alert system, looooong driveway.<br />
I have 4 sensor beams shooting across the driveway and they are spaced about 100' apart from each other. Each can provide a NO or NC contact. I have conduit running between all 4 points and was planning to run Ethernet wire between them so all 4 points can come in contact with ONE board, 4 pins on the Moteino board. The board has a LORA radio on it and is transmitting to my Arduino receiver, which is tied to a pi running Domoticz. I hired someone a year ago to build a system for me using 4 transmitters (one for each sensor),  but I don't think he knew what he was doing. We got several running temperature/humidity data but, the input pins don’t work like they’re supposed to.<br />
Why 4 sensors on the driveway? Eventually I’ll install my railroad signals and be able to direct one way traffic up and down the driveway! How cool is that!<br />
Help anyone?  Happy to compensate for your efforts!```</p>

<p dir="auto">I know this is your first post here... but how is that? How did you find your last 'programmer' for mys if not here&gt; Just curious.</p>
<p dir="auto">Post code in code tags (as per the instructions) - i.e. choose the &lt;/&gt; in the options above. Then paste 'your' code (if the original code is under any NDS or copyright then you do so at your own risk).</p>
<p dir="auto">Pictures of the wiring, as installed and wiring diagrams.</p>
<p dir="auto">Oh, and a <em>full</em> spec of what you expect and how it is all supposed to work would be a good start.</p>
<p dir="auto">Seasons greetings all the same to you.! ;)</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm off to drink more alcohol than any sane person would.... :) - Apparently it is 'that' time of year.</p>

This is my first time posting to the site, so trying to figuring out how it works and trying to keep it concise.</p>
<p dir="auto">What is the best way to upload the code?? I tried uploading file, but it only wants to see gifs, jpegs etc?<br />
Do I just copy it in the post?<br />
What pictures would you like to see? The driveway? the equipment?</p>

<p dir="auto">So does everyone else</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I hired someone to do about a year ago, but it never worked entirely.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Why is that?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">need some help with the programming.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Then post your code and the issues you are facing and someone might help you out.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Project: Driveway alert system, looooong driveway.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">So it's just a basic 'alert system' - good.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I have 4 sensor beams shooting across the driveway and they are spaced about 100' apart from each other.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">That is good if that is what you want/need for your cool project.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Each can provide a NO or NC contact.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Good.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I have conduit running between all 4 points</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Good idea if you don't want jammable RF.....</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">and was planning to run Ethernet wire between them</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">So only empty conduit at the moment then?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The board has a LORA radio on it</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Good.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">and is transmitting to my Arduino receiver, which is tied to a pi running Domoticz.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Good.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I hired someone a year ago to build a system for me using 4 transmitters (one for each sensor),</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">You already told us this bit.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">but I don't think he knew what he was doing.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Why is that?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">We got several running temperature/humidity data</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">That wasn't the original 'alert' spec was it? Or maybe it was? Maybe it is supposed to be a driveway alert system with temperature and humidity sensors 100 feet apart? Who knows? What are you 'really' wanting to do here?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">but, the input pins don’t work like they’re supposed to.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">So is this faulty hardware issue then?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Why 4 sensors on the driveway? Eventually I’ll install my railroad signals and be able to direct one way traffic up and down the driveway! How cool is that!</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">If you really have that much traffic on your driveway then it might be a better idea to have a 2-lane driveway.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Help anyone?  Happy to compensate for your efforts!</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">How can we help? You posted an 'alert' dream that later included temperature and humidity. Then it morphed into a traffic control system (either automatic or manually controlled, we don't know which at this stage).<br />
Then you ask for programming help and don't even post a single line of code.</p>
<p dir="auto">Yes that was all a bit 'tounge-in-cheek' but hopefully you get the idea. ;)</p>
<p dir="auto">First define what you actually want.<br />
Post code you are trying to get working.<br />
Post drawings of how it is all connected up.<br />
Post photos of the project.</p>
<p dir="auto">Where is the project located on this once fine planet?<br />
Where do I get my compensation from? ;-)</p>
