MySensors 2.0.0 Released

@Lars65

I had the same error. You have to(instead of what the 1.5 manual says) keep all the files in the mysensors_master folder. This folder needs to be in the libraries folder that already exists.

[Lars65]

Thank you!!!!!
That helped a lot.

Guess it's a good thing I am just getting started. I am guessing 2.0 should be the default go to now?

@Jason-Brunk

IMHO I would say yes. Keep in mind there are some differences in how the API works. I suggest going through the example scripts from 2.0, and compare that to the ones in 1.5 so you will get an idea of what I mean.

@Anticimex said:

:mega: We are happy to announce a major release of the MySensors library to 2.0.0!
For details, see here.
Doxygen links on the master github frontpage are not working. These are the correct links:
master development

Thanks a lot for that great piece of work!!!

Sensebender sketch is not any more in the example folder. Is it "normal" ?

[hek]

Yes, this in the new normal... we moved all the examples using external library dependencies into https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples until we can figure out which ones work with auto-dependency-download using the IDE Library Manager.

We would really appreciate some help doing the verification.

[tbowmo]

Actually sensebender sketch is moved to the same repository as the hardware files for the SensebenderMicro.

Problem is that we do not want to have external dependencies on the examples in the MySensors library, as they are not distributed together anymore. That's why examples with external dependencies have been moved to a new repository. Except the sensebender sketch, which we/I decided to relocate to the SensebenderMicro repository, as it's a bit special, and belongs to that hardware..

[Tore André Rosander]

I have been using the beta for some time now, to use the stable version do i just download the zip from github and replace the mysensors folder in arduino -> libraries ?

[tbowmo]

@Tore-André-Rosander

That should do it, until we get online in the arduino library manager..

[tbowmo]

And now we are online in the Arduino Library manager..

So people can "easily" update to the latest and greatest MySensors release..

[DavidZH]

I have just done as said above and works a treat! I was still running on Arduino 1.6.1 but this was enough reason to update!

One question: my serial gateway is still running on 1.5, do I have to update that to 2.0?
I have one node running on 2.0b and that talks just fine. New nodes will follow soon (PCBs are being printed now...) so they will be on 2.0 as well.

@DavidZH See here:

"It should be fully backward compatible with your controller (serial api hasn't been changed since 1.5).
We recommend updating both gateway and sensors to the the latest release."

[CrankyCoder]

not a big deal, but is there something i should do to get the mysensors to show up in my manage library?

[Yveaux]

@Jason-Brunk here you can find the official "installation description"!
It should be that easy ;-)

[CrankyCoder]

running 1.6.7 and not seeing it. oh well. not a biggy

[CrankyCoder]

updated to 1.6.9 and it's there. oh well. probably needed to update anyway :)

[gloob]

I did now also update my gateway but I see two messages in the debug panel that I don't understand:

pm open,type:2 0
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:SANCHK:OK

Does anybody have an idea what that means?

[TheoL]

I've read the documentation and I'm really impressed with the great work you've guys have done. Developping sensors with MySensors had never been this easy. You guys rock!

[hugows]

I just built my first "sensor network" yesterday and I was lucky to arrive on the 2.0 version - fun times! Congrats hek and contributors.
