Thank you @JeeLet !
I've been struggling with missing msgs for years with my Arduino Mega
I changed pin and no issues!
In the pjon code I've reached to list of tested pins that communication works properly
https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/blob/38e36bb1228c1690143cfbf693a0bcb809514d6c/src/strategies/OverSampling/README.md?plain=1#L12
I finally got this to work. Unlike what the description here says, this is how to update the value:
In Home Assistant, go to Developer->Service->YAML mode:
service: text.set_value
data:
value: "967067"
target:
entity_id: text.water_meter_100_2
(change 967067 with the value you want to add to the current counter)
The service "notify.mysensors" seems to be deprecated by Home Assistant.
bravo and good explanation
good to show that Arduino "8bits" and MySensors can do things simply, without gas factory
an extensible basis for further input/output
(door contact - relay control ...etc )
Thanks
I deployed 5 sensebender nodes just after release in 2015, all with 2 AA batteries from ikea.1 died within a couple of years, because it was placed outdoors. But the rest kept going, and all have been going until this year. So 8 years of battery time on one set of batteries..
I think that is excellent battery life..
