So i want the IR sensor to have two outputs.. one to control a motor which will control a valve to restrict flow of liquid and the other outputs for LED indicators. Could you suggest how do i go about it?
https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1562 switches to using libgpiod instead of the earlier interface. I have not tested it myself but it looks good.
I want to thank @FcNanoLed. I had long thought about a serial gateway. This would be a way to add I/O to a linux computer. In the process of trying to help, I built up a linux machine running virtual box. In the virtual machine I ran Home Assistant The not well documented part of that was to connect the USB port of the computer to the virtual machine (settings-->USB-->USB Device Filters) (note that one can buy a refurbished PC for about the same price as an equivalently configured RPi)
So thanks for the inspiration!
Update and problem fixed!
For everybody that will encouter this, the problem was at the sensor side because of the folder of the sensor! We created some metal brackets for it and they where exactly the same diameter. The fact that the mount squeezed the sensor made it return the lowest value.
Just needed to adjust the hole and everything was ok!
