We are mostly using fake nRF24L01+'s, but worse fakes are emerging.

@gtortone Maybe worth trying the dev branch, I've updated the RF24 driver to better support certain clones :)

@tekka Hi, thanks for the suggestion - I checked with MySensors dev branch from github but results are the same:

15007 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15013 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15017 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15022 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15026 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15030 RF24:read register, reg=23, value=17
15036 !TSM:FPAR:FAIL
15038 TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
15040 TSM:FAIL:PDT
15042 RF24:write register, reg=0, value=12
15046 RF24:power down

If I replace the Si24R1 with genuine NRF24L01+ everything works... (also with MySensors master branch)

@gtortone Try dev branch + 1Mbps data rate setting:

#define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS

I realized that if I disable broadcast search of parent node with:

#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC

the Si24R1 works fine !

but I don't know if this can be a problem for other features of MySensors...

Hi tekka, just for information:

• master branch => does not work with Si24R1 also disabling broadcast search of parent.
• dev branch => works fine with Si24R1 disabling broadcast search of parent.

Thanks,
Gennaro

@gtortone said:

This applies to all radios being genuine or clones, not mixed?

Hi,
on gateway I'm using a NRF24L01+PA+LNA and everything works fine if I use NRF24L01+ or SI24R1 on sensor side.

If I replace NRF24L01+PA+LNA with something different (NRF24L01+ or SI24R1 module) the communication does not work...
