@rodaman said in 💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor:
What is the purpose of the buttonPin-array?
E.g.
pinMode(buttonPin[i + FIRST_PIN], INPUT_PULLUP);
This will fetch a random (probably 0-initialised) value from the array and set pinmode on that value...

@rodaman said in 💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor:
I don't get the buttonPin array thing at all?
Why not just:
pinMode(i + FIRST_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); -

Why not just:
pinMode(i + FIRST_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);@hek if the array was initialized, it could be used to set arbitrary pins. So pin 4,5,6,7,8,A0,A1,A2,A3 could be used for example (to avoid conflicts with the standard nrf24 wiring but still allow a lot of buttons). But as you mentioned before, without initializing the array the behavior will be strange.

Big Thanks!
I have changed all array parts in setup in the same manner like above and it works :-)@rodaman
Hi,
Here is a sketch for multi buttons (no relays, no repeated parts of code for each buttons) just enter number of buttons and first digital pin where buttons are attached.
Thanks to @hek for help.../** The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice. The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

yes no-nc reed, connect them to IOs of your mcu and switch between input and output

@gohan said in 💬 Door, Window and Push-button Sensor:
did you use those with 3 pins?
I use them, with one wire connected to each interrupt pin (I only activate the one that's not connected) and they work fine.
Else you can cheat with a basic reed switch, you just need an additional magnet on the other side of your switch that's weaker than the door magnet, and turn your reed 180°.
You make the weak magnet close the reed when door is opened and far from the strong door magnet. When you close the door the strong magnet will open the reed switch. -
I'd like to go even simpler:
- Window is closed - magnet pulls reed switch so that no power flows to the NRF5.
- Window is opened - The NRF5 now gets power, boots, connects to the MySensors network, and sends a "window is open" message every 10 minutes.
- Window is closed again - NRF5 loses power.
Seems to me that this would be quite energy efficient?
Perhaps build it into this case:

@alowhum
I would say this technique is efficient depending on the usecase.
For example, for basic ambiant sensors not needing any security why not. On other side, for main doors which could benefit security, I prefer to use hearbeat with less interval time, so it's possible to know if the sensor is offline. else controller wouldn't know this if the sensor only update when door state change. -
Totally true.
I was wondering what the state of Attiny85 support is. For absolute beginners (in workshops) it might be easier to connect the radio to a digispark.
// cancel that. It could never support encryption.

I have some troubles with this device.
Sometimes it does not respond to the first click, sometimes it remains switched on after first click until second clickWhen I press the button once - I see the LED on my gateway blinks always 3 times
1 RX TX
2 RX ERR
3 RX ERRDevice powered with CR2032 and running on 1Mhz@1.8V (internal clock)
Button input pulled to GND with resistor 47K and waking up if VCC connected through the button
Also have a 10uF tantal capacitor on power supply pins +several 0,1uF ceramic capacitorsActually I dont know how to debug/log my gateway messages on Linux

@gohan I cant to set correct speed for the serial port because used 1mhz@int osc
I tried all options... -
@gohan already done but not possible to see anything
Every line was shifted to the right side and finally no space left.
I use minicom app for monitoring serial port,1-1-0,s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=1,l=1,sg=,1-1-0,s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=1,l=1,sg=0:0 ,1-1-0,s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=1,l=1,sg=0;255;3;0;9;3726496 TSF:MSG:READ0:0 1;3;1;0;16;0 ,1-1-0,s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=1,l=1,sg=0;255;3;0;9;3727488 TSF:MSG:READ0:0 1;3;1;0;16;0 ,1-1-0,s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=1,l=1,sg=0;255;3;0;9;3728475 TSF:MSG:READ0:0 1;3;1;0;16;0 ,1-1-0,s=3,c1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 =Actually i need to make 100-1000 clicks to catch a fail moment
Here is working fine
