Momentary button to control lights

@Boots33 So, added some tuff to keep the other relays working.
The issue now is bouncing apparently.
The send-node has delay but seems to fire a bunch of 1's (and 0's for some reason...?).
Here's the lastest on the receiving end:void receive(const MyMessage &message) { if (message.type == V_STATUS) { if (message.sender == 0) { // check if message is from gateway (node 0) switch (message.sensor) { case 3: //incoming message is for WC relay (sensor 3) stateWC = message.getBool(); // get the new state digitalWrite(5, stateWC ? RELAY_ON : RELAY_OFF); // 5 is RELAY_3 pin saveState(message.sensor, stateWC); // save sensor state break; case 7: digitalWrite(RELAY_7, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); //Write to A0 saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool()); break; case 8: digitalWrite(RELAY_8, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); //Write to A1 saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool()); break; default: digitalWrite(message.sensor-1+RELAY_1, message.getBool()?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); saveState(message.sensor, message.getBool()); break; /*-----Add case statements for other realys as needed ----*/ } } else { // message is not from gateway so must be from a remote switch (message.sender) { case 7: //incoming message is from WC remote (node 7) stateWC = !stateWC; // toggle light state digitalWrite(5, stateWC?RELAY_ON:RELAY_OFF); // 5 is RELAY_3 pin saveState(message.sensor, stateWC); // Store state in eeprom send(msgWC.set(stateWC), false); //Msg gateway aware of the change. No ack break; /*-----Add case statements for other remote nodes as needed ----*/ } } // Write some debug info #ifdef MY_DEBUG Serial.print("Incoming change for sensor:"); Serial.println(message.sensor); Serial.print("from node:"); Serial.println(message.sender); Serial.print(" New status: "); Serial.println(message.getBool()); #endif } }The send-node is still

This may at least give you an idea of where to start.
perhaps post some of the serial monitor output from the node.

@Boots33 I increased it already but it didnt help. I can comment out the sleep but eventually I will need it because the sensor is obviously bat powered.
I also tested putting delay before the read to let things stabilize. Tried 50 but same behavior.
Im not really familiar with using the interrupts. Is my syntax correct in the sleep-line? I read somewhere that pin2 =interrupt0? Or use sleep (0, falling, 0)? Instead of "change"? -

You still need to find the cause of the multiple sends so comment out sleep and see if that is the cause. It is an easy thing to try.

sleep(0, FALLING, 0);and see what that brings.
If you comment out sleep and the node works as expected then it may be worth starting a new thread focusing on the sleep problem, at least that may bring the problem to the attention of others who have used sleep before.Again serial output may shed further light on what is going wrong.

Fighting with this after a while.
I got the serial output from the sending node, but it appears to send the message only once.
However when I checked the gateway it seems to receive and forward the message three times. Then it reboots. Power issue? I have a NRF24-LA on the gateway so could that be pulling too much juice?Could there be a signalling bounce?
Serial output from when I clicked the button on the remote:

Just download the library from github and replace the mysensors folder in the library folder on your pc

My gateway is a serial gateway built with an easy newbie PCB and a pro mini.
What I did when I upgraded my 1.4 setup to 2.0, I pulled my pro mini that I had flashed with the 1.4 setup and put a new pro mini in that had 2.0. That way if there were any problems, I could easily swap the 1.4 pro mini back in to easily be back where I started.Likewise when replacing your library, pull the MySensors folder out of your arduino libraries folder to keep as a backup until you know things will work. That way if you have to revert back, you can easily swap back the old MySensors folder. You have to completely remove it from the libraries folder though, you can't just rename it to something else.
