I can't find on google or on the forum how to make an esp8266 based gateway with a local relay connected report the state of the relay back to my controller(which is a vera, but that should't matter). Thanks for the help.
I figured it out: there is a bug in UI7 where when I press the start button for inclusion mode it never stops and the manual stop button doesn't do anything. It took a lot of luup restarts at the right moment to get it to work. I don't know if this is a bug but I tried this on 2 Veras and it did the same so it's not just for me I think....

I buy them on Aliexpress:

If you apply hot air it is easy to take off the white "double sided tape" and the plastic.

Does the repeater send any sensor data itself? The dashboard "last update" only reflect data coming from the repeater.
No, all it is is a repeater. The only node that could send its signal through it is my doorbell which won't send anything until the doorbell is pressed, so I guess that all makes sense.
I only have one sensor that is communicating all the time, which is my garage door switch which also sends temp values. The funny thing is that it is this switch that is the most reliable and ALWAYS works the instant I ask it to. the relay switches that I have turning operating some lights, that is the only thing I have them doing and there are times that I am having to repeatedly press there button on the dashboard to finally get the relay to work.

Try running the "ClearEepromConfig" example sketch from MySensors examples and then try your sketch again. Might be that there is an old "NODE_ID" being used that is conflicting with another node. If you want to use static NODE_ID you should put the following before the MySensors.h include in your sketch:
#define MY_NODE_ID 14
You are also stil missing the
#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
Before the MySensors include that @hek pointed out.
^^ this - I've had this happen before (just last night actually) but i recalled from when it happened in the past, found out it was using a dupe ID, ran eeprom sketch.. good to go now.
Hi,
I finally received the boards from the manufacturer(big thanks to @Seeed-Fusion). I manage to assemble one board by soldering the components and such and...it WORKS(including OTA)! I will post the instructions on openhardware.io project page.
