I have a mysensors dimmer. I couldn't switch it on till i moved the dimmer about 2 cm's. Then it worked great. When i move it back 2 cm's it stops working. What causes this? I have a capacitor on the nrf.
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?

I will go with a Li-Po Battery type: 304048 3.7V 1200mAh
Might work, but maybe the internal protection will trigger with the high current peaks. I'd suggest you plan a 0 Ohm, (2512/THT) resistor as R2 and then replace it with a 100Ohm/1Watt if the protection triggers.
I have success!
(oops, that's suppose to be Timer1)
I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.)
Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox.
If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared.
