I'm very interested by your setup. It has been a shame to have some low voltage power in order to measure power consumption
I hope you can display something soon.

Hi @talhatec ,
The remote controls work well. 4 months ago I installed a new battery and from time to time I press the button to check if they continue with battery, they sleep correctly.
I remain pending to change the RF antenna for a better one and to improve some failures in the connectors of the battery that at the moment are very fragile (the pad has little copper).
The casing can be purchased online

For now the project is stopped, I want to test the Aqara sensors (I buy them this week), in any case the domotics is now my lowest priority.

I replied in the nrf51822 thread. Yes I managed to make it work like the original with BLE stack. And using the wonderful Cypress Proc BLE solution including capsense and lots of goodies . Cypress really rocks! I love them.
The current consumption was lowered to 200uA without being connected and 700uA connected. Those numbers include LEDs current consumption and other blocks like touch sensing.
I'll get back with more updates when it's finished.
I successfully worked around the issue by updating the /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Plugins/MySensors.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin
/plugin.py script to recognize the internal 21 code.
Here's the diff:
34c134,135
< "GATEWAY_READY" : [14, "Gateway ready", ""]
"GATEWAY_READY" : [14, "Gateway ready", ""],
"DISCOVER_RESPONSE" : [21, "Discover response", ""]
715a717,719
elif itemType == self.getInternalNumber("DISCOVER_RESPONSE"):
# 21 Ignore
pass
P.S. Indigo 2022.1 is complaining about this plugin that it won't be supported in future releases. Is there anyone out there planning to update this plugin?

Well, for small potted plants, you might have to re-pot the plant. However, the nice benefit that would arise is: no visible sensors, which carries with it very high WAF.

Hi, unfortunately I don't have time and patience for doing BOM's on all of my projects but in this case it's not very hard as the external component count is greatly reduced by using the NRF51822 RF SOC which is a PTR5518 module from Aliexpress. Other than that there is the Microchip touch sense controller - MTCH105 and the usual smd resistors(0603) and caps. Other than that you're not forced to use and solder the onboard dc-dc converter so you don't have to worry about those components - you just need to solder the 3V_EN jumper to use the Livolo 3V output coming from the main relays/power supply board.
