With my ORP sensors, I have to calibrate it every years (same for PH probe).
What is the best way to calibrate sensors with MySensors in you opinion ?
Use same child id (for sending data) ? Or another one ?

Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch.
We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)
Old topic, I know. Did anything ever come of this?
I'm also thinking it would be easy & cheap to get the espnow working as a transport layer.
I found this: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs-beta/classESPNOW.html
But it goes above my head and abilities when it comes to code.
Thanks for the offer @TheoL ! I have moved on to a differenct project. Also, a lesson that I have learned many times, "If it works, don't fix it!"

Nice work so far @wint0178, great that you try expanding on the examples. Sorry for the late reply.
If you look at https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/blob/bba998bce09bc5139eb4ca7a05b0279f4083ff88/examples/PressureSensor/PressureSensor.ino#L90 you see where the existing child ids are defines. You just add another one for the gas sensor, with a unique number (incrementing by 1 is an easy way).
Try that and report back on your result. If something is unclear, just post a followup.
For me almost all I need is in Master. For some nice to haves I have some custom libraries, like a message and a presentation queue. The only wish I have is dual led support.
