    I also have this with the repeater ("ARDIUNO_RELAY").
    I want to make sure that this and all sensors are available by asking them for their version and sketch but they do not always reply so it seems...

    @marceltrapman what kind of message do you send ? I don't see in the API you can request internal values...

    @hek would the ack be aplicable to all sensors ?

    z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
    rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
    mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

      @epierre I am working on my plugin for Indigo.
      This is what these messages look like:

      2014-07-16 21:59:18.267	MySensors Debug	Sending command 2;0;3;0;2;Get Version
      2014-07-16 21:59:18.267	MySensors Debug	Sending command 2;0;3;0;11;Get Sketch Name

      I use Domoticz as controller for Z-Wave and MySensors (previously Indigo and OpenHAB).
      I have a FABtotum to print cases.

        @marceltrapman it did not work for me... but tje sensor is back again to my higjer satisfaction...

        @hek it is importantbfor an alarm ti ping its node to know if there is signal jamming...

        z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
        rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
        mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

          Nice.

          Looking at Indigo and Z-wave there is the same issue. A node that is asleep can not be awoken from Indigo (or any other controller).
          The reason I would like this to be different is so that I know that a sensor has fallen out (battery dead or otherwise).

          The problem is that waking a sensor up means that the sensor has to listen.
          When a sensor listens it has to be awake (I believe).
          Vicious Circle...

            @marceltrapman yes...in my case some are not asleep... not to say all... in z-wave the hysteresis management is good, controller ofter fairly manage device that always send something every 2h...

            z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
            rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
            mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

              A better approach is probably to send in something every time sensor wakes up.

                @hek well if sensor sends something I know it is awoken ;-) I'll try implement something on my water sensor on this !

                z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
                rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
                mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

                  While thinking about this I think I want to add a 'wake-interval' like implemented in z-wave (and exposed in Indigo).
                  I want to be able to set a wake interval to every 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 4 hours, twice per day, once per day or once per week.

                  Not sure if this is something for me to do or that this belongs in the libraries...

                    @marceltrapman

                    This could very well be implemented with the current libraries.

                    You could for instance request VAR_1 every time the sensor wakes up which contains the sleep time used when putting Arduino to sleep..

                    This would make sleep time configurable from controller-side.

                        @marceltrapman @hek that would mean sketched upgrade, but I plus it !
