    I'm having a problem in this part off the code:
    "present(counterChild, S_DIMMER, "Quality counter " NODE_TXT) ; // counter uses percentage from dimmer value"

    I'm getting this error:
    "exit status 1
    'present' was not declared in this scope"

    How can i fix this ?

      @mrc-core sounds like you are using the stable (1.5.x) version of MySensors. This sketch requires the development version which is available on github

          Can this be extended to also measure NRF24l01 standby current? Maybe some "fake" modules have a high current consumption in stadnby mode, this could drain batteries quickly when used in battery operated devices

            Hi @AWI, could you kindly post your updated version of the sketch that has the parent and destination node numbers on the display?

                    It works using the other line...

                    @karl261 probably I am using another library for the display. I got it from the Arduino library manager.

                      @AWI what is the board between the nano and the radio?
                      Something available via aliexpress?

                      I really do not need this as I live in a small flat.. but I NEED THIS! :laughing:

                        @Nicklas-Starkel you can find it in the MySensors shop It is a nrf24l01+ socket adapter board. It guarantees a stable supply and includes the famous "radio capacitor"

                          Hi @AWI,

                          thanks for the code and the project! ~~Unfortunately my biggest problem is to get my LCD working. It does not do anything with your code, other testcode to test the display is working fine. I am using this line and it should work fine:

                          LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address
                          

                          Any idea what else I could check? I am using arduino IDE 1.6.10

                          edit: getting this in the serial monitor of the device:

                          Think I got it now, seems like my gateway wasn´t responding or whatever, now it seems to work...

                          Edit3:

                          I got 1 fail and 5000 miss 60%...
                          Now what does this mean??

                          I think I need some help: Most of the time I get this on my gw´s Serial Monitor:

                          After some reboots of the quality meter and I guess with a lot of luck it starts working occasionally

                          This is from the serial monitor of the quality meter:

                          TSP:MSG:READ 0-0-0 s=0,c=0,t=0,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:

                          !TSM:FAILURE
                          TSM:PDT
                          

                          I already added a 47u Cap and added those lines to the code:

                          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0                         // fixed parent to controller when 0 (else comment out = AUTO)
                          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
                          

                          no luck at all...

                          edit5:
                          Now I opened the serial output of my GW again, which seems to started the communication:

                            Great tool for a mysensors builder @AWI! I also want to sort out the good radios from the bad, I have enough trouble as it is trying to troubleshoot my questionable sensors.

                            I got around to building a quality meter for myself, although without the adapter board and with some additional differences. But I really don't understand the output, the fail and miss percentage is almost always 100 % for most of my radios. Am I missing something? Perhaps I should change some addresses to static ones? I thought that perhaps I had to define a corresponding item in Openhab in order for the packages to be acknowledged but this doesn't change the outcome.

                            Here's the serial output from the "quality meter":

                            Also, the meter in action generating the output above can be seen here: LINK
                            After some time, >10 min, the fail percentage is 100 % and the miss percentage around 85 %. Not impressive if interpreted correctly. Could someone give me some pointers to what the problem is? I don't talk "mysensors protocol".

                            Sorry @siod, I don't think I can help you. You seem to get a lot more messages through though.

                              Great tool for a mysensors builder @AWI! I also want to sort out the good radios from the bad, I have enough trouble as it is trying to troubleshoot my questionable sensors.

                              I got around to building a quality meter for myself, although without the adapter board and with some additional differences. But I really don't understand the output, the fail and miss percentage is almost always 100 % for most of my radios. Am I missing something? Perhaps I should change some addresses to static ones? I thought that perhaps I had to define a corresponding item in Openhab in order for the packages to be acknowledged but this doesn't change the outcome.

                              Here's the serial output from the "quality meter":

                              Also, the meter in action generating the output above can be seen here: LINK
                              After some time, >10 min, the fail percentage is 100 % and the miss percentage around 85 %. Not impressive if interpreted correctly. Could someone give me some pointers to what the problem is? I don't talk "mysensors protocol".

                              Sorry @siod, I don't think I can help you. You seem to get a lot more messages through though.

                              @NickBuilder you seem to have a pretty bad connection (hardware related) . The meter has to be built with a reliable power source and connections. I can't see from the movie how your radio is powered. The reason for using the adapter plate is that it includes a separate ldo and capacitors.

                                Hi @AWI,

                                thanks for the code and the project! ~~Unfortunately my biggest problem is to get my LCD working. It does not do anything with your code, other testcode to test the display is working fine. I am using this line and it should work fine:

                                LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address
                                

                                Any idea what else I could check? I am using arduino IDE 1.6.10

                                edit: getting this in the serial monitor of the device:

                                After some reboots of the quality meter and I guess with a lot of luck it starts working occasionally

                                This is from the serial monitor of the quality meter:

                                I already added a 47u Cap and added those lines to the code:

                                #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0                         // fixed parent to controller when 0 (else comment out = AUTO)
                                #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
                                

                                no luck at all...

                                I don´t get it what is going on here. Restarted quality meter: blank LCD... :(

                                @siod the meter works like a normal sketch. If it does not get past making a connection the rest of the code won't start (ie the LCD). To be honest I can't make up a reason from the serial logs except that your node has problems finding it's parent.

                                  @NickBuilder you seem to have a pretty bad connection (hardware related) . The meter has to be built with a reliable power source and connections. I can't see from the movie how your radio is powered. The reason for using the adapter plate is that it includes a separate ldo and capacitors.

                                  @AWI, it's hardly visible but I'm actually using a 3V3 buck and a 10 uF cap to power the radio. But I took your advice and tried tos power the radio seperately with two AA batterys, and a cap just in case. This should be a really clean source of power but the outcome is still the same.

                                  I guess I'll order som new radios, hopefully from a different supplier. I'll get some adapter boards with (switchless) LDO's while I'm at it.

                                  Why is the parent changing from 255 to 0 back and forth? I have a serial gateway connected to a Pi and aside from some temp sensors I also have an RC switch for my outlets which also acts as a gateway but the adress is neither 255 nor 0.

                                  Thanks!

                                    @NickBuilder I hope you solve your issues with new radio's. I have very little which don't function at all.
                                    The id "0" belongs to your gateway "255" is a kind of broadcast id which is a.o. used when a node number is not known. Both id's are not available for you to assign to a node.

                                      For those who need and don't have a display like me, here is my sketch version for output to the serial console. So what I do is, I run around with a laptop connected to the node and watch the serial console, or, I just move around with a tablet and the node. The tablet is connected to my raspi and I watch the output of my gw on the pi using picocom. Picocom handles very well the missing line feeds in the output. The gw output is also very informative, there are no statistics, but still I see when stuff fails...

                                      Thanks for the cool sketch @AWI!

                                        @karl261 I tried your code and it pretty much just gives me failures? I don't have any issues with nodes and tried it out of curiosity, any ideas? It seems to send pretty fast, perhaps its spamming my gateway too much?

                                          @Mark-Swift Where do you see the failures? Do you have a log output?
                                          The code is for mysensors 2.0.0. Did you adapt all the network specific #define in the beginning of the sketch to your network? In my example there is a static parent set and the static parent has the ID 99. If that does not exist, there will be failures.
