@hek, thanks for the correction. I didn't try very hard, but here's 75 ready to ship.

Notification for my 5... Yeaaaaa Haaaaaaw.. :dancer:

@hautomate

They are building them in batches of 200 units, so 75 si7021's don't get them far.

We are trying to solve things at the moment though.

[hek]

Preorders for batch #2 has been opened now. Estimated delivery mid June.

[gloob]

I will wait for the first 5 items until they receive before I continue ordering new ones or is there no plan to continue selling more items after the second batch?

[tbowmo]

@gloob

We'll continue selling, as long as there is a demand for it :)

[gloob]

I believe in your product and ordered 5 new ones. The house has too many rooms.

[Stric]

Got mine today. Haven't tried them yet.

[hek]

@Stric
Nice! Where do you live? Wonder when it will show up in Sweden....

[Stric]

Sweden :) Umeå/Täfteå to be specific.. Neighborhood next to your brother..

[hek]

Sweet.. hope it arrives before the weekend then.

[HenkeP]

@Stric Did you get a "avi", or did they end up in the mail-box directly? I got a "avi" today but it might be also for any of the constant inflow of stuff from aliexpress... Can't wait for my 4 pieces Sensebender to show up! :)

[Stric]

@HenkeP Got an avi, RsomethingsomethingHK I believe.. The box said "10 printed circuit boards", which is a funny way of saying "3 printed circuit boards + some stuff".

[gloob]

Were you able to track the items? My tracking number says that it left Hong Kong yesterday to my destination (Germany). Can't wait to get the first batch into hands.

[gol]

I can confirm that the first sensebenders now also have arrived in Gothenburg, Sweden.

My first Senseboard is now Up and Running. Have even tested to reinstall the sketch. No issues so far. Thanx for this product.

@gol

Nice to hear :)

I have to wait until Monday, before I can pick mine up at the post office.. (they tried to deliver it today, when I wasn't at home, so just left me a note that I could pick it up on Monday)

This is not a 'product', this is pure fun ;)

Picked up my four devices yesterday and two of them are up and running using the pre-loaded sketch and it works like a charm!

But i have a question regarding the battery level reporting, I can see the following in the code:

// Battery voltage is repported as child sensorId 199, as well as battery percentage (Internal message)

But it seems to only present temp and hum as sensors and no voltage:

gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP,S_TEMP);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM,S_HUM);

What is it i'm failing to understand? I just setup Domoticz and in there I have not yet got a good way of presenting historical battery levels, it just shows the latest internal battery level message. To get a better understanding on the battery life performance it is necessary to be able to create a graph. I thought I could use the voltage level for this but I can only see the internal message :-(

Thanks,
Henrik

@HenkeP

That's a leftover from my initial battery monitoring code. It could be re-implemented quite easily, in the battery reporting routine, you could report actual voltage measured, as an extra sensor

(I actually thought that I had removed everything related to the old monitoring code)

Edited

I have updated the sketch for sensebender micro, to include sending battery voltage measurements as a sensor value. This is not enabled by default though, and people need to recompile it, with a #define uncommented.

do a pull from mysensors github, to get the latest sourcecode
