    Yes. Both motion sensors report back fine. I also have a node with door, motion and temperature and they all report back their respective values according to child-sensor-id.

    I'm going to try update and re-compiling the code for the master node. Then watch debugging on the master node. Finally if that doesn't work I'll read through the source code for domoticz and mysensors to see why the light is not reporting back.

      @dmonty Skimming your code, I do not see any issues then that stand out to me. Maybe add some debug prints to see if things are getting where they should in the code.

        OK while doing some serial debugging I noticed that the gateway node did not get the right message type: V_TEMP (t=0) should be V_STATUS (t=2).

          It may be because the enum is clobbering V_STATUS with old V_LIGHT. Arduino/libraries/MySensors/core/MyMessage.h

          typedef enum {
                  V_TEMP                                  = 0,    //!< S_TEMP. Temperature S_TEMP, S_HEATER, S_HVAC
                  V_HUM                                   = 1,    //!< S_HUM. Humidity
                  V_STATUS                                = 2,    //!< S_BINARY, S_DIMMER, S_SPRINKLER, S_HVAC, S_HEATER. Used for setting/reporting binary (on/off) status. 1=on, 0=off
                  V_LIGHT                                 = 2,    //!< \deprecated Same as V_STATUS, **** DEPRECATED, DO NOT USE ****
                  V_PERCENTAGE                    = 3,    //!< S_DIMMER. Used for sending a percentage value 0-100 (%).

            What version of mysensors are you using?

              Version 2.1.1

              This morning I found I did some serial debugging on the sender and master node.
              I had to re-initiate the Sensor ID and the Sensor Type before sending.

                  isLightOn = 1;
                  msg_S_LIGHTS.setSensor(ID_S_LIGHT);
                  msg_S_LIGHTS.setType(V_STATUS);
                  send(msg_S_LIGHTS.set(isLightOn),true);
              

              Without doing this the wrong type is sent from the node itself.

              9234 TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=15,c=0,t=3,pt=0,l=10,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:SdGrgLight

                I tried uploading a simple Light on/off delay loop sending only light status from the node. I can confirm that the master node receives the message on the serial interface. However Domoticz does not log any incoming actions. So my thoughts are now that Domoticz does not handle light-status send-updates from the nodes.

                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setSensor(ID_S_LIGHT);
                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setType(V_STATUS);
                    send(msg_S_LIGHTS.set(isLightOn==1 ? "1" : "0"),true);
                

                Message Type: V_STATUS
                Payload Type: P_STRING

                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setSensor(ID_S_LIGHT);
                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setType(V_STATUS);
                    send(msg_S_LIGHTS.set(isLightOn),true);
                

                Message Type: V_STATUS
                Payload Type: P_BYTE

                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setSensor(ID_S_LIGHT);
                    msg_S_LIGHTS.setType(V_TRIPPED);
                    send(msg_S_LIGHTS.set(isLightOn),true);
                

                Message Type: V_TRIPPED
                Payload Type: P_BYTE

                  Tried MockMySensors Example - with a light on/off loop and no radio and Domoticz updates light status based on Arduino code. This means Domoticz supports receiving update status for lights.

                    I tracked down the issue. My real sketch had too many large variables using up too much memory. Because the Lights were being declared later they were getting clobbered. After decreasing the number of sensors everything started working fine.

                      You could check the code and try using smaller variable types to something that you actually need
