@petewill Just wanted to let you know that I've built two of these for my daughters but instead of putting them behind a mirror I put it under their bed. Works really good, thanks for sharing!

I finally got time to assemble the rain gauge according to BulldogLowells instructions. I got the electronics working as expected but when I add it to my Vera (UI5) things start to go wrong.
I have uploaded the implementation files but I still lose the icons on all Mysensors sensors.
Is there anything else I need to do to get it working?

Got my five kits last week. Soldered the first one this weekend and I must say that I'm really glad I bought them. Very nice layout and easy to understand. The surface mounted resistors/capacitors where a bit tricky with my shaky hands and old greasy glasses but I managed to do it eventually.

I would be interested in 5 of these if you have any left.

Im really no expert but I'll try to explain with a easy example. So for borked english.

Say you want to combine a soil moisture sensor and a DHT22 temp sensor.
Open both of the examples and look at the top part that are circled in red.

This is where all the librarys that are needed are listed. Simply copy/paste the ones that are needed, in my example all libraries are equal except for the one circled in blue. So make sure you get all needed libraries!
The next step is to look at the define part, circled in green. Here you copy/paste so you get all the needed parts and you must also change the pin number where your sensor is connected on the Arduino bord. So if you soldered your soil sensor on digital pin 5, change the number from 3 to 5 in #define DIGITAL_INPUT_SOIL_SENSOR 3.
The child ID may also needed to be changed so that there isn't a conflict.

Keep copy/paste all the way down in the sketch. Make sure that you place the code in the right place.If its inside the void setup() in one code, paste it inside the void setup() in the target code, I marked it green below. As you can see in the attached picture below in the red rectangle, Sensor gw; is in both codes so don't copy that. You only need to copy/paste the parts that are unique!

Just keep trying! If I can do it, I'm sure you can too!

I followed your instructions and built a PhoneyTV this weekend. Great success!
This was the first time I used a prototype board to build something and it wasn't really that difficult. If there is some other beginner out there who's thinking about building this project, I say go for it.

While I was at it I put a DHT22 on the board, maybe I'll substitute it for a Dallas DS18B20 to cut cost.
