    ok, Thanks at all!
    You helped me find the mistake!
    it was actually because the node could not receive commands because there was a "sleep()" hidden somewhere in each sketch. after I searched all sketches thoroughly and replaced them with "wait()", everything runs without problems:

    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

    However, I would suggest that the functions "wait()" and "smartsleep()" be mentioned in relation to the MySBootloader in a separate point under "https://www.mysensors.org/about/fota". Maybe under a chapter:

    1. Enabling FOTA in your sketch
      1.1 DualOptiboot only
      --> text as before
      1.2 MySBootloader
      --> ... use smartsleep() and wait() instead of sleep()...

    Summary:

    • fuse settings 8MHz external crystal:
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8=ATmega328 8Mhz ext MYSBootloader_1.3.0-rc.1
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.build.f_cpu=8000000L
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.upload.speed=57600
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.low_fuses=0xFF
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.high_fuses=0xD2
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x06
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F
    MYSBL.menu.frequency.MYSBL8.bootloader.file=MySensors/MYSBootloader_8MHz.hex
    
    • if sensebender gateway is connected via usb, only one instance may access the gateway at a time, therefore "OpenHab" must be terminated first

    • do not use "sleep()" in the sketches. only "smartsleep()" or "wait()".
      use the current dev-branch from "https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsBootloaderRF24

    @rafael156 oh crap ... I put in that lowFuse as FF .. ( I read you had it for 8 MHz INTERNAL .. but nooo you wrote external ... ooops ... is there any way to force write it back without connecting an 8 MHz oscillator to the chip .. I only got 16 MHz oscillators .. or am I screwed for that chip until I go and get one?
