    • RE: Library 2.0 - No Humidity sketch

      Did you download the new examples? they are not included anymore.
      Here you can find them:

    • RE: Skech using DHT11/LDR and SoilMoisture from itead. (Solved solution inside)

      I use V_LEVEL and S_MOISTURE for a moisture sensor.
      The percentage part is something i am going to try for sure.

    • RE: Example code - DallasTemperatureSensor.ino

      In the 2.0 sketch this is mentioned:

      #define COMPARE_TEMP 1 // Send temperature only if changed? 1 = Yes 0 = No
      So 0 should keep everything working and sens info even when not changed.

    • RE: Library 2.0 - No Humidity sketch

      I don't know either and i remember that there should be a zip file which you can download.
      I only cannot remember where.
      For now you can copy the code and save it.

    • RE: Mysensors Ethernet GW w5100 problem

      That is because UDP is enabled, if you uncomment the gateway stuff for the ENC28J60 then it compiles because UDP can be enabled now.

      So remove the comment lines and add #define MY_USE_UDP at the end like suggested.

    • Repeater node stops sending sensor info

      I have an issue where a node stops sending sensor info after a while.
      I do not have a log (yet) but i am wondering if a range issue would cause this.
      Which reasons could cause a node stop sending info to the gateway?

      If needed i can made a log later as i need my laptop connected to it and i cannot reach it at the moment.

    • RE: question about repeater node

      yes add the line but only on non battery powered nodes.
      If battery powered this will kill battery life.
      I have a couple repeater nodes at home to extend the range.

    • RE: Repeater node stops sending sensor info

      I think i will invest in suck a buck converter.
      There is still plenty coming over from China so many projects to build and i rather do it right the first time.

      I think you just have to comment out that part of the code (the 5 lines of code)

    • RE: How to include the battery measurement?

      I have voltage now and a percentage at the devices.
      Hum and temp do work fine.
      I only sucked all the juice out of the battery so it is charging now by the little solar panel.
      I found out that 2,4V was really the lowest voltage that worked 😄

      I have the voltage part working and i think also the battery percentage with it.
      I build the sketch like this. Can you have a little look?

    • RE: How to include the battery measurement?

      I have voltage now (utility) and a percentage under devices.
      I have read somewhere that the percentage is depending on the last sensors poll so i will now try to add the DHT part in to the sketch.

    • RE: How to include the battery measurement?

      sendBatteryLevel doesn't do anything.
      I have modified it a bit and now i have some readings.
      I will do a bit more playing to see where i will end.
