i take it i could use an Arduino nano and not have to worry about the voltage Regulator? it can take 5v or 3.3v meaning i already have all the parts to replicate this with my existing Dioder setup..:)

RE: Getting the Ethernet/ESP8266 gateway to act as client instead of serverposted in Development
Personally, i dont like the idea of my controller being on someone elses Box. I have all i need on the RPi. Plus, if my internet connection goes down, i can still turn my lights off!
Domoticz allows you to join up controllers so you can still have access to other controllers in other houses. Its worth having a look.

RE: Getting the Ethernet/ESP8266 gateway to act as client instead of serverposted in Development
This isn't what you're looking for, but whats stopping you hosting the controller in your own home and using a VPN or internet facing controller behind security or using a VPN on your phone?
i currently run Domoticz and have a Domain pointed at a Raspberry pi in my house. access outside the internal network requires a username and password, but recently i setup OpenVPN so that when connect to the VPN on my phone, i can use the Domoticz app or access the Domoticz web interface without having to setup Authentication.

RE: Is there a mysensor thread for this "mysensor" pro mini adapter?posted in Hardware
@NeverDie I've got a few sensebenders and the range isn't great on them. i'm beginning to wonder if its because of the way the Radio is mounted of the PCB.

RE: new serial gatewayposted in Troubleshooting
i had this issue the other day too when i restarted my gateway and controller (Ethernet Gateway powered by RPi Domoticz Controller).
I had to go and find and restart each of my nodes. it was rather annoying.
Is there a way to broadcast somekind of remote restart command? even if the Nodes dont broadcast to the gateway, maybe the Nodes can listen for a restart command?

RE: Node cant see gateway less than 10m Away.posted in Troubleshooting
RF24_PA_LEVEL is currently set to RF24_PA_MAX
and
RF24_PA_LEVEL_GW is currently set to RF24_PA_LOWI've also noticed that i must have written over my config at some point cause the channel is back at 76 instead of 110 where my spectrum is clearer.
i'll rebuild all the nodes tonight and see what i can get after switching channels and setting the RF24)PA_LEVEL to LOW.

No, I still need to get round to making a repeater that will sit between the Bedroom Node and the Gateway. Unfortunately i haven't found the time recently to do it.

RE: Wall mounted 'mood light'posted in My Project
@mickaelr30 , did you ever get this working with 1.5?
i've got the upgrade instructions, but struggling to reverse it so it works with my current setup. Don't think i'm quite ready to upgrade all my nodes to dev quite yet.

Hi,
i'm currently trying to use ino to build a sketch for some ws2812b LEDs. in particular i'm using the Sketch found here: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2169/wall-mounted-mood-light/8

So, i setup one of my Sensebender nodes with this Sketch to see what the interference was like. i think i understand why i've such bad signal now.

RE: Node cant see gateway less than 10m Away.posted in Troubleshooting
That thought had crossed my mind. Its a Dual band Router, but unfortunately a lot of the devices don't support 5Ghz.
I have a Main server in my office that i could i could connect the gateway to and make make it a network gateway that way.
I think my best option is to create an ethernet gateway anyway.
Thanks for all your help.
I'll try moving the gateway away from the router and see how that effects everything.

RE: Node cant see gateway less than 10m Away.posted in Troubleshooting
ok, thanks for the advice. i was originally using it with power straight from the Raspberry PI USB, but now i'm wondering if i change from a Serial Gateway to a standalone ethernet gateway and attach the gateway to the Network in a more central postition in the house. Currently its beside my router which is the furthest you can get from the other side of the house.

Node cant see gateway less than 10m Away.posted in Troubleshooting
I live in a small End of terrace house so its not big by any stretch of the imagination but i'm struggling to see nodes i've setup that are no more than 10m away.
i'm using a raspberry pi with Domoticz as the controller, connected to a serial gateway using an arduino nano clone and NRF24L01+. the nodes are all sensebender micro with NRF24L01+ powered by 2XAA.
the nodes close by the gateway are fine, but the ones in the bedroom are sporadic at best.
I read that RF_250KBPS has a good 250m range. i'm stuggling to get a fraction of that.
i've got a 4.7capacitor on the gateway Radio, and its currently being powered by a seperate 5v 10a power supply i had.
Can any one point in the right direction to figure out what the issue is?

RE: Getting Check wire error, yet both devices are talking to each other.posted in Domoticz
no, i've got a capacitor bridging the NRF module Power feed too to stabilise the power to that.
I'll keep an eye on the ser2net feed and see if there anything untoward happening!

Getting Check wire error, yet both devices are talking to each other.posted in Domoticz
Hi,
I've currently got a very basic setup.
- Serial gateway connected to Raspberry Pi 2 running Domoticz using the standard Gateway Sketch available on this site.
- Arduino Nano Clone with nRF24L01 connected to some WS2812B (102 of them infact) via Pin 6 using the Sketch found in this post.
The problem is that after a while i get the Check Wires error when trying to change the colour or turn the RGB Strip off.
I have connected the RGB Strip arduino to the Raspberry pi for debugging so i can watch the output of both devices.
Here's the output that i logged when trying to change the Strip
