@mrc-core Thanks for the code. The code works fine but I am seing the node reporting direct measurements to the gateway every single second, spamming the gateway.
Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior and transmit averages; in example - every minute or every 5 minutes?
Thanks in advance!
@dbemowsk Yes, it makes sense and it works flawlessly !
Thank You very much!
@dbemowsk Thnk You very much for your help!
Yhe sensor breakout board I am using is this one on the pictures. Is there any way to modify it or do I have to build my own LDR Sensor board? I so, what R1 value do you think is best?
Thanks again!!
@dbemowsk Hi and thanks for the sketch! I don't know if you still using this setup - I tried it and it works flawlessly. But (there is always a "but"), I am having problems lighting up the relay when light levels drop. My LDR sensor reports light the opposite it needs to be reported; meaning I get 100 when no light at all and 0 light level when I shine a light into the sensor (full light situation).
Surely I resolved the relay firing up thing by changing
if (lightLevel < 10 && motion && relay == RELAY_OFF)
into
if (lightLevel > 90 && motion && relay == RELAY_OFF)
and the relay works, but I really love to use the right LDR Level on my Domoticz setup so a little help will be really appreciated.
Is this something that my LDR sensor is faulty or is this something it could be resolved by modifying the sketch?
Thanks in advance!
@user2684 By the way I am alsy trying to implement the forecasting algorithm for BME280 sensor (from here) into the BME280 section of NodeManager.cpp and Nodemanager.h but until now no joy. Maybe I am trying to do something complicated for me as a beginner into this, but I always like to learn by trial and error. Any advice you could give me to be able to implement the forecasting algorithm?
@user2684 You were right! Definately a memory problem. Disabled the non-needed modules and everything is working as it should!

Many many many THANKS for the help!
@user2684 Hi and thank you for the prompt response!
The % of memory used is 83% of program storage space and 63% of dynamic memory.
Sketch uses 25580 bytes (83%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 1307 bytes (63%) of dynamic memory, leaving 741 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Heading right now to try to compile without the non-needed modules and try again.
Needles to say and re-say this is really a much needed plugin for us beginners!
Made a bunch of battery operating nodes with only DHT22 and all are working flawlessly.
Today I tried making a node using a DS18B20 and DHT22. DS18B20 connected to digital pin 3 and DHT22 to digital pin 4. Both sensors have 10K resistors between their vcc and data lines (tried without resistors but none of the sensors worked).
Sketch compiles and uploads fine to a Arduino Pro Mini 328 3.3v 8MHz. It also connects to the gateway, but I run into some problems;
The first one being that watching from the serial debug, the node strarts up, connects to the gateway, reports some data and then hangs. No more activity from the node watching on the serial debug.
The second one is that the node never sleeps - Activity led on Arduino Pro Mini remains lit.
The last one is that DS18B20 reports the Temp to the gateway but DHT22 reports only Temp and not the Humidity. Tried changing pins for the sensors, but the same.
Connection logs (from the serial interface) are as follows:
REG I=1 P=3 P=6 T=0
REG I=2 P=4 P=6 T=0
REG I=3 P=4 P=7 T=1

NodeManager is intended to take care on your behalf of all those common tasks a MySensors node has to accomplish, speeding up the development cycle of your projects.
NodeManager includes the following main components:
- Sleep manager: allows managing automatically the complexity behind battery-powered sensors spending most of their time sleeping
- Power manager: allows powering on your sensors only while the node is awake
- Battery manager: provides common functionalities to read and report the battery level
- Remote configuration: allows configuring remotely the node without the need to have physical access to it
- Built-in personalities: for the most common sensors, provide embedded code so to allow their configuration with a single line
Documentation available on: https://github.com/mysensors/NodeManager

Really, any help would be welcome!
Thanks all in advance!
Really an old topic but for those still curious; those codes usually are used for sellers working with agents. I mean, "XXX" seller has 5 agents but only one account (kind-a franchise type) so to track who sold what they use those codes. At least this is what one of ebay sellers told me when out of curiosity I asked one day.
A long time reader and "lurker" here, but just registered today to thank @user2684 for this contribution to MYS Community! In my opinion NodeManager is really a great addition to MYS!
