    And how is this sensor acting?

    This is what i am looking for..
    How lang can this sensor work? [ i wil try this with a 9Volt battery with a nano ]
    What battery do you use?

    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 :-(

      Hello,

      This is the code I use but it's not perfect especially with the battery report.

      The principle is as follow when the sensor start:

      • node in sleep mode with interrupt enable
      • if a move is detected, the detection is reported to the gateway
      • the node then go in sleep mode WITHOUT interrupt for 5 minutes
      • then the node return to sleep mode with interrupt enable

      This is to avoid having many report (and power consumption) to the gateway.

      The code (not perfect ! I have to rework on it but it's ok for the moment):

      /**
       * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
       * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
       * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
       * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
       * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

      On one sensor I tweak the PIR (remove regulator and diode) but on a second one, I just plug the 3 v to the H pin (see other topic on the forum).

      Working correctly for the moment (one month) but it depends on the presence in the house.

      David.

        @ Carlied,

        What code is better that one of you or the one from cosmi gate?

        What are the different thing? Is your code check'the battery status?

        And i get a error:
        no matching function for call to 'MySensor::MySensor(MyTransportRFM69&, MyHwATMega328&, MySigningAtsha204Soft&)'

        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 :-(

          The error is because I enable the signing function !
          Remove the following line:

          MySigningAtsha204Soft signer;
          

          And replace

          MySensor node(transport, hw, signer);
          

          by

          MySensor node(transport, hw);
          

          I don't know who had the best sketch.
          I measure internal battery status using the 1.1 reference.

          David.

            When i put this sketch in to a nano..
            With a 9volt battery....
            How long do think this working?

            Or how long is this acting on your 3 volt battery's?

              It depends on the activity close to the sensor so not possible to say but some people reach several month without problem.
              In my house it's very fresh so I have not a lot of feedback to give.

              David.

                5 days....:-1: on a 9volt block
                The sketch on a nano
                On my toilet.... so not a very busy room

                Is there some one that live longer, with this sketch......?

                  @the-cosmic-gate Nothing special. I made a big sketch, which contains 7-8 sensors (DHT, Si7021, MQ-2/9, PIR, Door magnet, Light, battery) reading code because I would like to upload the same sketch to all nodes and configurate it on controller side, which sensors is on the node and need to read.
                  But currently I reached the limit with I2C includes, so I need to think over this solution.

                    Hello,

                    9v means that you are using a voltage regulator which probably consumes a lot of power.
                    Why not using AA or AAA battery directly connected to Vcc ?

                      Motion and DHT needed 5volt i wash thinking..?
                      So 9 @ the vcc should be strong enough i was thinking.
                      And i do have @ the same time 3.5 for the radio

                      Are the extern step up better than the step down on a nano?

                        The motion can be adapt to run on 3v easily (connect the Vcc to the H pad if available. You can find information on the forum). The DHT could also run on 3v. I have several nodes like that. No problem.
                        Can't reply for the step-up because I don't use it.

                          How long is the 3v battery running whit this option?

                            @Dylano : My nodes are really new so difficult to say exactly but for the moment the oldest node was started one month ago (04/02) and battery still at 3.32v.

                              i'am back in business after the "big move" and going to try again to get this 4:1 sensor working for a long time uning 2 x AA batteries.
                              If someone has some new input, please let me know :) and feel free to change the sketch

                              There's more than meets the eye

                                Hello,
                                Motion nodes are still working correctly. The oldest node started the 4 of February is still at 3,29v. My other nodes (temp / humidity / light) are also working correctly but I will replace DHT22 for another sensor.

                                David.

                                  Hey @carlierd Just curious if you are still using a DHT22 with your sketch? Have you modified the code much from the above? I am looking at implementing something similiar ( identical actually ) and was wondering if much has changed for you over the last few months?

                                  Thanks!

                                    All nodes are still working correctly but I still want to replace DHT22. But nothing done for the moment. Not at top position on my todo list ;)
