intergrating with existing project car starter



  • hi everyone
    so i have a project for a nfc car starter ive just recently completed....
    i was wondering about integrating it into a node so that i could prestart and warm up my car in the mornings....

    however ive never dreamed of mysensors before that last few months and prebuilding my own seems a little out of my league....

    anyone have any advice on how i could integrate?
    thanks in advance to anyone who can give me even a hint
    this is running on an arduino nano

    Cool project!
    Just use a simple relay example. Insert the start-car code somewhere here:

    https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/development/examples/RelayActuator/RelayActuator.ino#L83



  • @hek looks good...thanks for that ill investigate over the next week getting it running
