how to use repeater nodes

[n3ro]

Hey folks,

what's the correct way to use repeating nodes?

I have build 3 usb powered LED-Lights and one of them is out of range...

Is it a good idea to enable repeating on every USB-powered node?

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

gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ID, true);

Regards,

Hi @n3ro.
You have written the correct command. You dont need the incomingMessage if the sensor doesnt expect that.
Yes, atleast the nodes in strategic locations. I have some node in the outskirt of my network which is USB powered and not a repeater... no point how i see it.

Dont use delay() or block code in any other way if you are using it as a repeater.
