    @n3ro Yes, you can. The sleep function has a return value. If it is < 0, timer is timed out. Otherwise it waked up by interrupt.

    I'm working on a same multi sensor PCB with batteries. The PIR consumes 150uA. So you can reduce consume if your search a low power PIR sensor. Like this: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2387/low-power-pir-breakout-board-for-mysensors-and-evaluation/6
    @scalz said it consumes only ~24uA.

    @icebob hey :) the used pir consumes ~50uA. Since my last modifications I replaced the stepup and the dht with a si7021 sensor and the external pullup with 1m ohm. Now the sleeping current is ~190uA

      @n3ro ohh, it's great. Which PIR are you using?

            Hey Guys,
            Today I have completed my first multisensor.

            As base I used a cheap china fire detectors and the MYS PCB board.

            http://www.ebay.de/itm/like/Optisch-Feuermelder-Rauchmelder-Funkrauchmelder-Rauchdetektor-Rauchwarnmelder/141252448370?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&_trksid=p5197.c100068.m2280&_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140211130857%26meid%3D07bc95de38bb49768007aea7e82e859d%26pid%3D100068%26clkid%3D6724945852786999307&_qi=RTM2052467

            All components fits very well in the housing.

            Unfortunately, the modified HC-SR501 do not work well with <= 3V with the DHT (delay in the sketch). Now I use this:
            http://www.amazon.de/Niederspannung-PIR-Infrarot-Bewegungssensor-erkennt-Modul/dp/B008EGH3FM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433801387&sr=8-1&keywords=B008EGH3FM

            And it works very great!

            The used Sketch is this:

            https://github.com/n3roGit/MySensors_n3ro/blob/master/Multisensor_PIR_DHT_LDA_Battery/Multisensor_PIR_DHT_LDA_Battery.ino

            wiring diagram coming soon;)

            @n3ro

            Great...
            Hope this will work for a long time on a battery?
            What battery's you are using?

            1 problem< WHERE CAN I FIND:
            #include <readVcc.h>

            Domoticz, with a lot of working hardware, include mysensors :-)
            OpenPLI, RuneAudio, Solarmeter, etc......

            Not a great builder of software and hardware, more a user...
            Only i try to do my best :-(

              Hey,
              Yes it works very good with 2 aaa Batts.

              You can find the read library here

                But I don't use the dht anymore.

                This works much better!

                  yes i saw your better solution..the si7021 is using less power i read..
                  Where do i have to place the: long readVcc
                  And how do ik make that .H file?

                  How long is the multisensor running? on what battery?

                    @Dylano what do you mean with long readVcc?

                    The battery life is different because of the frequency of triggering from the pir.

                    Some nodes works for 2 month. Other ones for 6..

                      sorry, it is working now: what do you mean with long readVcc?
                      I use the sketch battery pir, to test

                      Only the report of the vcc how many times is the sketch reading this?
                      And where can i see the status?
                      I use Domoticz as controller.

                        @Dylano the sketch send the battery percentage everytime the voltage is changed

                          great, i see in domoticz the value great!!!...[ when power is low i get an alert. ]
                          You have a lot of sketches :-)
                          Is het possible that you build a sketch include your pir-battery-ldr, and a light switch, or a option so i can switch a ledlight.
                          Like a pir-battery-ldr-switch... :-)

                          I will try to rebuild a solarpowerlight
                          With a solar powerbank, and a:Light

                          So i can have a Domoticz controlled solarpower light and motion/ldr [my]sensor
                          Only i cannot make a sketch for this... [ if you want, i will pay for it..., or a donation to charity organization ]

                            its not finished but there is all you need ;)
