Can't get my new mysensors LED-Dimmer to show up.

[heggrik]

So i've been having this issue for a few days now when trying to add my new pwm-led dimmer to Home-assistant.

I cleared the eeprom and used the included mysensors example sketch and uploaded it to the arduino, started it and immediately got the error "child_id X already exists in children of node X, cannot add child"

so i enabled the debugging in home-assistant and i have the logs provided.

home-assistant log:

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this doesn't work it would be much appreciated.

You don't send an initial value of the child to home assistant.

Thank you!

After some reading and poorly written code i managed to get it working. :smile:
