@sergio_uno this forum focuses on open-source development.
Your project looks great, but unless you disclose the design files this post is just an advertisement, which goes against forum rules.

We deploy a special site, openhardware.io, where users can share their designs with others. If you disclose your design files you will still be able to sell units through e.g. ebay.

We will remove this post in 24 hours, unless you share your design files with the community.

@yveaux Hi, do you expect to see firmware or Gerber files + schematic are enough?

[Yveaux]

@sergio_uno everything. People should be able to use your design to build it yourself, or spin their own designs using yours as a base.
That's what open source is all about.

You'll see that although you open your design, interested people will often buy your complete hardware. Also, on openhardware.io you will get a share when people order boards of your design.

@yveaux Thanks, but I'm not sure it will work for me. We made investment in injection molds and whatnot. I am sure you know the difference in quality between 3d printed hand-made prototypes and injection molded case. I believe this project will be interested to many MySensors users. I offer working design in nice looking custom cases, a complete solution.
I might be able to share schematics, but not everything. No offence, we need to return money. Meanwhile, you can delete this thread as you wanted.

@yveaux Seems there is some controversy on this subject. If you look at this video that David Jones has on youtube (@sundberg84 posted this in this thread about licensing). I agree with his statements about being able to post all or part of your design as OSH, which would kind of contradict what you are saying. I especially liked the identifiers he proposed (7:35 in the video) that would get put on the cogs of the OSH gear in the logo.

@dbemowsk I like Dave's definition. Something is always better than nothing when you release a project. I can release schematics and photos, and maybe it will help to someone.

@sergio_uno I tend to agree, but I do not have control over the forum or the openhardware.io website. I would mean though that you would have to add the OSH logo to your boards, and probably your identifiers on the cogs.
