    Hello, i'm stuck with this sensor, because no Interrupt is really working. I've cut down the code to this:

    /**
     * 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

     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * DESCRIPTION
     * This sketch provides an example how to implement a LM393 PCB
     * Use this sensor to measure kWh and Watt of your house meter
     * You need to set the correct pulsefactor of your meter (blinks per kWh).
     * The sensor starts by fetching current kWh value from gateway.
     * Reports both kWh and Watt back to gateway.
     *
     * Unfortunately millis() won't increment when the Arduino is in
     * sleepmode. So we cannot make this sensor sleep if we also want
     * to calculate/report watt value.

      @artipi using Serial.print and delay from within an interrupt service routine will mess things up. Interrupt service routines must be executed quickly.

      From https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/external-interrupts/attachinterrupt/:

      Since delay() requires interrupts to work, it will not work if called inside an ISR.

      You need to do the blinking inside loop().

            @alowhum: Its the original code. Nothing changed. I've only made some tests with my version...

              Hey guys

              So i am trying to use this sketch with the sleep mode set to true 'cause i need to run it on battery.
              It works fine running with usb power on it and sleep mode on false.
              But with sleep mode true i am getting nothing in myscontroller after the initial startup.
              All i changed is the sleep mode from false to true.
              Running it on a clone nano with some chinese "flame detector" sensor.
              Been trying to figure out if it has something to do with how it reports when in sleep mode but it should still report whatever the send frequency is set to right?
              I was using a tv remote to fake impulses, with seems to work on usb power, but not on battery.
              Any suggestions?

              Best regards
              Patrik

                @patrikr76 just to make sure we are on the same page, could you clarify which sketch you are using? This thread has discussed lots of sketches and it would be a pity if we’re looking at different code :)

                In any case, the debug log from the node will give the best information on what is happening.

                It could also be useful to only change one thing. Right now you change sleep mode and switch to battery, right? How does the node behave with sleep mode on, but still running on usb power? How does the node behave with sleep mode off, but running on battery?

                  @mfalkvidd , you are absolutely right. Let me clarify.
                  I am using the example code that is under build and power meter pulse sensor, updated may 1st, 2018.
                  Running it with "sleep mode = false" it works fine with both usb and battery power, just drains the battery quite fast.
                  Setting it to "sleep mode = true" it doesn't work either on usb or battery power.

                  Here's how the serial monitor looks for the startup phase with sleep mode as true.

                  As far as i can see it seems fine and also shows up in myscontroller.

                  And here is an example how it looks after 20 seconds sleep.

                  23:26:36.346 -> 2423 TSF:TDI:TSL
                  

                  I don't see any connection attempts with my gateway, or shouldn't there by any if the sensor is not triggered?

                  Here i can show how it looks when tricking the sensor with the ir on the mouse.

                  Interrupt is triggered and it wakes up, but nothing is sent to the gateway.

                  Have i missed something?

                    @mfalkvidd , you are absolutely right. Let me clarify.
                    I am using the example code that is under build and power meter pulse sensor, updated may 1st, 2018.
                    Running it with "sleep mode = false" it works fine with both usb and battery power, just drains the battery quite fast.
                    Setting it to "sleep mode = true" it doesn't work either on usb or battery power.

                    Here's how the serial monitor looks for the startup phase with sleep mode as true.

                    @patrikr76 great info, thanks!

                    The -1 in Wup=-1 indicates that the node was waken up by timer and not by interrupt. That’s very strange, since the time stamps clearly show that 20 seconds has not passed.

                    Could you add

                    Serial.println(pulseCount);
                    

                    after

                    sleep(SEND_FREQUENCY);
                    

                    to see if pulseCount is increased?

                      As you see, it sleeps about 22 secs with no pulse on it.

                      Moving the mouse over it gives this.

                      Looking through the code, this one raises a flag.

                      if (pcReceived && (SLEEP_MODE || sendTime))
                      

                      The pulseCount send is within that if statement which is not fullfilled because it doesn't receive pcReceived.
                      Or am i wrong?

                        Found a solution, which is not ideal.
                        I was having similar problem with a motion sensor not being able to send, adding a delay after sleep helped on that one, but it was just a 5ms delay needed.

                        On this one i had to add a 1 sec delay in the begining of the loop. I tried smaller but then it didn't work.
                        I am starting to think it is the nano clone that has crappy components.

                          @patrikr76 nice work.
                          Sounds very similar to https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9655/delay-after-tsf-tri-tsb/14

                            I have two meters I would like to measure: One that the LED is off most of the time and briefly pulses on per increment (at 3200 pulses per Kwh - so I adjusted the pulse factor accordingly). This works fine. The second meter, the LED pulses off (meaning the led it lit most of the time, and pulses off briefly). Do I need to adjust the code in any way to deal with this meter? Thanks. Really impressed it works virtually out of the box.

                              Great work @stkilda
                              I think the sketch will work without modification. The easiest way to find out is probably to try it.

                                you may need to change the interrupt behavior, but try it first

                                  Is there a suggested replacement for the TSL250? While it can still be found, it seems to be discontinued for the most part.

                                  I've had no luck with the LM393 solution for my new power meter. Just can't tune it to pick up the led impulses. What sort of diode solution is everyone else using? I'm aware of the possibility of IR communication (https://wiki.hal9k.dk/projects/kamstrup) but it seems a little over the top.

                                      my skectch works very well, only I have a double pricing, I manage to recover the information. but I have to modify the code in order to have my exact consumption.
                                      but my code sends me information always on the same IDs.
                                      thank you

                                        Hi @fullmetal, welcome to the forum :-)

                                        Could you explain what double pricing means?

                                          Thank you for your welcome @mfalkvidd

                                          Our electricity provider offers several rates.

                                          HP: Full time
                                          HC: off-peak time

                                          usually the HP/HC rate is programmed at night by the provider.

                                          As the consumption is saved by the arduino, I need two different IDs to trace the information to domotics
