    @karl261 hmm...indeed, that's weird. Do you have the debug log of node 3?

    @tekka Which log exactly? Node 3 is Mysensors 1.5... It is sitting somewhere hidden...

      mixed setups are not advisable (and not supported). Please update if possible.

        @tekka Yes, with "all" I meant those being involved in the repeater stuff.

          @karl261 Can you add this to node 4 (this is the relayed one?):

          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 99
          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC

            @tekka I can add it to node 30 right now. It is also supposed to be relayed. In fact this is why I did start this thread in the first place, I had no luck with these two lines. Will try again.

            Oooohhh, there is a mistake further up: I am talking about node 30, and wrote node 3. That is incorrect. Let's see if I can edit. That is why you were asking about the 1.5...

              @tekka Node 30 does still not care about the two lines. It is sending direct.
              It also does not send back any routing table. Maybe because it is sleeping most of the time?

                @karl261 If it's not defined as repeater, it won't have a routing table. And yes, sleeping nodes do not listen for incoming traffic. But still, if GW and node 99 are up, it should prefer 99 - can you show me the log of node 30 during booting?

                  @tekka Now it seems to work.

                  But I recompiled, because I had MY_DEBUG commented out. Somehow there is something wrong with debug...

                    You mean, if MY_DEBUG is commented out, the node does not communicate over the repeater (99)?

                      @tekka Well, yes, I added the two lines you suggested, re-compiled, and then it was not using the 99. And also some posts above, I had these weird messages transmitted 6-7 times, see logs. This happend while MY_DEBUG was commented out.

                      Hm, I can re-upload the sketch and see if this is reproducible.

                                @tekka yes, these fails come and go, I see them all the time, but not at the same place necessarily. The logs posted above show plenty of them.

                                I don't understand this radio trouble.,the distances between the nodes are not long. The radios are all connected using all tricks, the relay is a nrf24+pa+lna which is located in a good location... Maybe all radios are crap? There is only one wifi network and it is not very busy... It's my own. Maybe I should change the channel? 110 or so sounds good. I am using default now. Power is set to max for all nodes, the nrf24+pa+lna is shielded from itself, I put small antenna extensions on the normal ones after @petewill, they all have nice caps, gw and repeater have excellent power sources, ...

                                I found a script how to test nrf radios... Maybe I should try that?

                                If I was going to buy new radios, just to try, which ones are the best???

                                Edit: Hm, I think if I use antennas, it really helps if they all point into the same direction. Like all horizontal or all vertical. Which would make sens, wouldn't it?

                                  @karl261 Yes, that would be good - node 30 is running@1Mhz?

                                  @tekka But now I found something: the repeater sketch does not work, if MY_DEBUG is commented out. I tried several times forth and back. On the gw I get the output below.

                                    @karl261 That's weird - I've just tested that scenario and everything is fine here.
                                    Can you add an indicator in loop() to make sure the repeater sketch is running? Also, what board are you using as repeater and how do you power it?

                                      @tekka I will try this a bit later, thanks.
                                      Right now I am going crazy, the node is again not using the defined parent. Did I overlook something in the sketch?

                                        Total madness: I uploaded the same sketch again, and now it is using 99.

                                        Questions:

                                        1. Can I see in the log whether it "found" the parent or if it is using the parent I put into the sketch?
                                        2. Is it possible to avoid this transport failure counter? Like, when I put
                                          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 99
                                          #define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC
                                          into my sketch I just want the node to send, whether it reaches the parent or not. Is that possible?

                                          @tekka But now I found something: the repeater sketch does not work, if MY_DEBUG is commented out. I tried several times forth and back. On the gw I get the output below.

                                          I checked and re-programmed the repeater. It seems that it has gone away. I can use my repeater without MY_DEBUG. I don't know what caused this, but the repeater is working now.
