MySensors on ATTINY85

Awsome work Oitzu and Sweebee!
Just tried it out and it works perfect :)
Have you succeeded with getting the sleep/timer working? I've tried but discovered that my skills aren't good enough.

Hi Fella,
I just came across this post several weeks ago , I was looking for a smaller cheaper way of making a binary switch to use with my Veras. After reading the "Great debates" whether an ATTiny 85 could be used for such a purpose, I decide to try what was here and by the individuals who said they had made them work. I built one and powered it with a Li-Ion 3.7 v 4000 Mah battery. I have had it in use now for about a week and so far it works great. I have not been able to make the WDT work but from my test so far , running the ATTiny and nRF24l01+ from a Li-ION 4000 Mah battery , it should last for months. Now the the entire circuit is drawing 6.0 ma and when tripped the unit drew 7.5 ma. Now I am sure the current was higher than 7.5 ma when in transmit but it would be for just a very small amount of time. Thanks for the leg work you guys did to make this project for me happen. -
Oitzu and I (testing :P) are currently working on the Attiny support. To test you can download this library (the same as the original one except that it includes the attiny).
Its working so far.
Bugs:
Your node id is the same as child id (if you set a different child id, somehow the attiny ignores it and makes it the same as your node id).
Sleep is working with interrupt but it does the setup again after wake.
Sleep / timer is not yet working.library: https://github.com/Oitzu/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/MySensors (You can replace it with your existing mysensors library)

@ted you are probably searching for this: https://github.com/Oitzu/mysensors-Arduino-attiny/tree/master/libraries/MySensors
But i need to seriously warn you, it is horribly outdated. The repository do not got the love it needed. ^^
