    hi,
    i want to ad a motion sensor to my project (3 dimmers on a arduino uno using nrf24).
    My first problem is that the 2 and 3 pins are not available (nrf24 and pwm dimmer), so i will take the pin 1 for testing
    second is the sleeping time during i can't send any light message to my dimmers...

       * DESCRIPTION
       * This sketch provides a Dimmable LED Light using PWM and based Henrik Ekblad
       * <henrik.ekblad@gmail.com> Vera Arduino Sensor project.
       * Developed by Bruce Lacey, inspired by Hek's MySensor's example sketches.
       *
       * The circuit uses a MOSFET for Pulse-Wave-Modulation to dim the attached LED or LED strip.
       * The MOSFET Gate pin is connected to Arduino pin 3 (LED_PIN), the MOSFET Drain pin is connected
       * to the LED negative terminal and the MOSFET Source pin is connected to ground.
       *
       * This sketch is extensible to support more than one MOSFET/PWM dimmer per circuit.

        Since it is a powered node, you don't need to put it to sleep. As for the pir you can do as you like: check pin status during loop, use an attach interrupt function on pin change, etc

          @gohan ok thank you for answering. if i do this:

          void loop() 
          {
            // Read digital motion value
              bool tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR)== HIGH;
              
              Serial.println("coucou");
              Serial.println(tripped);
              send(msg.set(tripped?"1":"0"));  // Send tripped value to gw
              }
              // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute.
              //sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
          }
          

          the node never stop to send message to the gateway. i would like to send something only if D1 goes to high, is that possible ? (i'm starting combinating exemple and i want to understand what i do now!!)

            @siod The HC-SR501 actually runs on 3.3VDC but has a 5VDC-3.3VDC regulator on board.

            There are several ways to bypass this regulator, but the easiest is to connect your 3.3VDC supply to pin 3 of JP3 (the one marked "H").

            You must make sure that your 3.3VDC supply is very stable, otherwise you will get false activations.

              Hi,

              The code

              sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME); 
              

              doesn't need a ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) function? Should we assume that if no ISR is defined, the node will wake in the loop function?

                Yes, it will wake and run the loop once

                  So i was testing out the motionsensor sketch and it kept giving me "!TSF:MSG:SEND" after the initial 0 had been sent.

                  Finding no answers on here i tested loads of things until i tried a delay after the sleep command.
                  Running fine now with a 5msec delay.

                  Just thought i would share.

                    I connected a 12v DC input and no matter what I do the output always shows 12V. It never goes to a "low" 0V output. From what I read these can use between a 5v and 20v input so I'm assuming a 12v input should not be an issue and still produce a High when triggered and Low 0V when not triggered output. What am I doing wrong?

                      @patrikr76 thank you so much. I had the same issue with my motion sensor and spent 2 days pulling my hair out)

                        Was anyone able to reduce the delay time? 5 seconds is too long for me.
