Unfortunately I have the exact same problem with the amplified version. I have two of them and tried all the mentioned solutions (power, shielding etc) on both modules but none of them work. On the contrary the amplifier version works much worst then the normal version. So I have just given up on this module and put some of the normal NRF as repeater.
May be as one has mentioned, the Chinese module does not work properly. However the normal NRF module are all from China.
@mfalkvidd Thanks
The idea of changing the pulseCount is correct. However I had set the value at the wrong place without realizing the pulseCount is reset at the Void setup() section.
// Water Reset pulsecount
pulseCountW = oldPulseCountW = 0;
// Zonnepanelen Reset pulsecount
pulseCountZ = oldPulseCountZ = 0;
The solution is
Change the 0 to : Value (meter) - Value (Controller)
Upload the sketch. wait until the first pulse is sent to the gateway.
If successed the controller (domoticz in my case) will show the total value matching the value on the physical meter.
Now change the value in the sketch back to 0. (Otherwise each time you reset the sensor or the gateway the value wil be added to the total value.) Upload the sketch to the sensor.
You are done. There is no need to Modify the Domoticz database with SQL tool.
You will get the value you've just added to the total value in the day value log. If you find this ignoring you can delete this value the next day. This only applies to Energy meter. Do not apply this to the water meter as the result the total value of the water meter will be gone too.
I use the following script to log my energy and water meter. I have tried to change the total value to match the actual value on my energy & water meter by changing the pulseCount.
Does anyone if this is possibleow to do it and h. Thanks

@Boots33 Thanks for the help. The main problem was how to set the time when the doors are opened. I have tried several attempts and everytime the timer is reset. Therefore the buzzer will never be triggered because the timer and the current time is always the same.

Hi All,
I have got the buzzer module today and I want to use it on my exist frigde door contact sensor. What I want to do is when one of the fridge door is open more than 30 seconds the buzzer will turn on. And when door is closed the buzz stops.

digitalWrite(buzzPin, buzz); // Tone OFF
Serial.println("Buzzer off");
}
if (buzz == LOW) {
DoorMillis = millis();
Serial.println("Counter start");
Serial.println(DoorMillis);
}
if ((millis() - DoorMillis) > DoorDelay) {
digitalWrite(buzzPin, buzz); // Tone ON
Serial.println("Buzzer triggerd");
}
Does anyone know how the code should look like
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I thought you always have to add the sleep time to the gw.sleep. I will disable the a wake timer by removing the 86400000.
@siod I use one switch for the letterbox and one for the door.
I have the same issue first when I tried to power the PIR with the VCC from the arduino mini pro 3.3V. It seems like the PIR does not work with 3.3V. Now I power the PIR directly from the 9V battery. Problem solved.
@AWI thanks. this looks like more promising.
@AWI Thanks this clear thinks up but at the same time also confusing too.
So "-2" activates both 0 and 1 on pin 2 or pin 3 as you mentioned earlier. I always though it represents a pin number.
@mfalkvidd Thanks for the info. Does DigitalPinTolnterrupt works better?
@AWI Thanks. By the way would you care to explain the interrupt index number? or may be a link for explanation?
@knipex Hi can you please post your working script?? I want the same functionality too. Thanks
@AWI Thank you so much. Yes I have came to the conclusion that the debouncer does not seems to work fine with sleep function. So I have used a method other than debouncer.
Here the working script below:
#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#define CHILD_ID_Deur 11
#define CHILD_ID_Post 12
#define BUTTON_PIN_Deur 2 // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch

MySensor gw;
// Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
MyMessage msgDeur(CHILD_ID_Deur,V_TRIPPED);
MyMessage msgPost(CHILD_ID_Post,V_TRIPPED);
void setup()
{
gw.begin();
gw.sendSketchInfo("Voordeur contacts", "1.0");
// Setup the button
pinMode(BUTTON_PIN_Deur,INPUT);
pinMode(BUTTON_PIN_Post,INPUT);
// Activate internal pull-up
digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN_Deur,HIGH);
digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN_Post,HIGH);
// Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices)
// You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage.
// If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in. See "msg" above.
gw.present(CHILD_ID_Deur, S_DOOR);
gw.present(CHILD_ID_Post, S_DOOR);
}
// Check if digital input has changed and send in new value
void loop()
{
uint8_t value;
static uint8_t sentValue = 2;
static uint8_t sentValue2 = 2;
// Short delay to allow buttons to properly settle
gw.sleep(5);
value = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN_Deur);
if (value != sentValue) {
// Value has changed from last transmission, send the updated value
gw.send(msgDeur.set(value == HIGH ? 1 : 0));
sentValue = value;
}
value = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN_Post);
if (value != sentValue2) {
// Value has changed from last transmission, send the updated value
gw.send(msgPost.set(value == HIGH ? 1 : 0));
sentValue2 = value;
}
// Sleep until something happens with the sensor
gw.sleep(BUTTON_PIN_Deur - 2, CHANGE, BUTTON_PIN_Post - 2, CHANGE, 86400000);// changing Secondary button to correct pin (-3) does not work. So keep it on (-2)
Serial.println("Sleep");
}
Notice that the script does not work properly when I set BUTTON_PIN_Post - 3. The button pin post will not trigger. But when I change it to -2, both switches will work
gw.sleep(BUTTON_PIN_Deur - 2, CHANGE, BUTTON_PIN_Post - 2, CHANGE, 86400000);
@sundberg84 I have debugged a several times. I am now sure it is not a hardware failure.
@mfalkvidd Hi thanks
Changing the sleep time to 0 does not help. When I open and close the contact the status will not be sent. That's weird
I have added some print to debugged. It seems like the code with sleep does not verify and send the high 1 or low 0 when I open and close the contact. See the serial debug log. The repeated sleep in the log is when i open and close the contact. Normally it will send 1 or 0 " send: 204-204-0-0 s=3,c=1,t=16,pt=2,l=2,sg=0,st=ok:0"
void loop()
{
debouncer.update();
// Get the update value
int value = debouncer.read();
if (value != oldValue) {
// Send in the new value
Serial.println("Trigger");
gw.send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0));
oldValue = value;
}
gw.sleep(INTERRUPT,CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
Serial.println("Sleep");

Hi all,
I have made a magnet door contact using a Arduino mini Pro 3v3 powered with 2 coin cells battery. To save battery life, I want to use gw.sleep to let the Arduino mini to sleep and trigger when the door is open.
Unfortunately, the arduino is not trigger when contact is open or closed due to gw.sleep. I was wonder how to use the sleep comment and still making the debounce action works. I have tried to use INTERRUPT but with no luck.
Thanks

I've just solved the issue regarding tags lost after power off.
Simply add the line "StoreEeprom();" after the program mode function
if (programmode && ((timer % (ONE_SEC / HEARTBEAT)) == 0 )) {
ledon = !ledon;
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, ledon);
programTimer++;
// Stop program mode after 20 sec inactivity
if (programTimer > PROG_WAIT) {
programmode = false;
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, false);
Serial.println(F("Program expired"));
storeEeprom();
Serial.println(F("Store Card to EEPROM")); ```Hi BartE, I have the same issue regarding tags lost after power off. I run the debug instruction using Serial print as you mentioned. I found out that the storeEeprom line did not run after closing the program mode. I think this is why the tags are lost after power cycle.

Hi TheoL,
I have changed the value from 0 to 255 as shown below and now the LED strip turn off when I click the off button in domoticz.
Now the dimming part has yet to be solved 
Was
if (message.type == V_LIGHT) {
if (message.getInt() == 0) {
digitalWrite(RED_PIN, 255);
digitalWrite(GREEN_PIN, 255);
digitalWrite(BLUE_PIN, 255);```Hi TheoL, When I turn off the RGB, the ArduinoIDE serial Monitor gives a sg=0:0. See image below. And as you mentioned. I don't see the V_Light respond. See image.
Thank you so much TheoL. With your help I have added the 254 value as you told me. Once uploaded I can see that the color is closer to color I picked. So I have changed 254 to 255 and yes I 've got the right color. Now comes the next problem. I can no longer dim or turn off the led strip. When ever I choose the white ffffff or black 000000. The led stays at it full brightness. I guess we are close but only a little more tweak.
Thanks you so much
Hi all
Insteads of using three Mosfet, I have connected my RGB led strip with my arduino using a RGB mini amplifier (see below). Since it is smaller and you don't have to solder any wires. I am able to control the led strip in Domoticz but the only problem is the RGB value is inverted. So when you choose blue in the colorpicker the led turns yellow. When you dim the light to 10% it is at its full brightness and when you set the level to 100% it turns off. (So the values are inverts). I have tested with a single dimmable led strip and it gave me the same result. It looks like that this module works as an inverted Mosfet.
Anyway I was wondering if you can solve this problem by modifying the script I am using. Like may be inverting the value.
This is the script I am using
#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#define RED_PIN 3
#define GREEN_PIN 5
#define BLUE_PIN 6
#define NODE_ID 70
#define CHILD_ID 0
#define SKETCH_NAME "RGB_STRIP "
#define SKETCH_VERSION "1.0.0"
#define NODE_REPEAT false
MySensor gw;
long RGB_values[3] = {0, 0, 0};
float dimmer;
void setup() {
pinMode(RED_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(GREEN_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(BLUE_PIN, OUTPUT);
gw.begin(incomingMessage, NODE_ID, NODE_REPEAT, 0);
gw.sendSketchInfo(SKETCH_NAME, SKETCH_VERSION);
gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_RGB_LIGHT, "RGB Strip", false);
gw.request(CHILD_ID, V_RGB);
}
void loop() {
gw.process();
}
void incomingMessage(const MyMessage &message) {
if (message.type == V_RGB) {
String hexstring = message.getString();
long number = (long) strtol( &hexstring[0], NULL, 16);
RGB_values[0] = number >> 16;
RGB_values[1] = number >> 8 & 0xFF;
RGB_values[2] = number & 0xFF;
}
if (message.type == V_DIMMER) {
dimmer = message.getInt();
analogWrite(RED_PIN, int(RGB_values[0] * (dimmer / 100)));
analogWrite(GREEN_PIN, int(RGB_values[1] * (dimmer / 100)));
analogWrite(BLUE_PIN, int(RGB_values[2] * (dimmer / 100)));
}
if (message.type == V_LIGHT) {
if (message.getInt() == 0) {
digitalWrite(RED_PIN, 0);
digitalWrite(GREEN_PIN, 0);
digitalWrite(BLUE_PIN, 0);
}
if (message.getInt() == 1) {
analogWrite(RED_PIN, int(RGB_values[0] * (dimmer / 100)));
analogWrite(GREEN_PIN, int(RGB_values[1] * (dimmer / 100)));
analogWrite(BLUE_PIN, int(RGB_values[2] * (dimmer / 100)));
}
}
}
Thanks
Wowww I did not know that this is a very nice info. I will definitely tried using a couple of magnets. Thank you so much for this info. Any the website you provides is pretty solide too. I've been looking on the internet for while and did not come across a hack like this one before.
I am a step further thanks
@DavidZH
Yes thank you so much. This a really nice tip. I have already tried using my phone camera to see if I'll get any response from the meter. Unfortunately no IR feeback.
Via the M-Bus is not possible because the meter is sealed by the provider and opening the seal may get me in to trouble :).

Hi @TheoL
Thank you so much for your quick reply and pointing out that the IR port of the meter may not be active. Now I only have to find out if the IR port is active :).
You mentioned that there is another sketch for reading the Kamstrup meter. May be I have to look around on internet. If you happen to know where I can find this sketch then it would be nice :). I will try to modify the sketch according to your advise. Hope this is going to work.
Thanks again TheoL
Hi guys,
I've been looking for a while on internet to find a way to log the heating usage (District Heating) on my Kamstrup Multical 401. I have come across this thread https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5390&hilit=Stadsverwarming. This thread mentions the use of an IR convertor cable (25 euro see image below) and python script.

Since I've already been logging my energy and water usage using Mysensor pulse sensor, I though this might also work with the Kamstrup meter (Although I have not find any one on internet using Mysensor to log).
So I bought this IR Transmitter and receiver [img]https://www.mysensors.org/light/ir.png[/img].
Uploaded the script found on this url [url]http://frack.nl/wiki/Stadsverwarming[/url] to my arduino. Note that there is no Mysensors components in this script. I only use serial monitor of the ArduinoIDE to test if this works.
I have set the baudrate to 300 and 1200. Unfortunately I did not get any feedback from the Kamstrup meter. I was wondering if anyone know if this IR transmitter will acturally communicate with the Kamstrup meter. Or am I really stuck with the IR converter cable.
Thanks everyone.

@sundberg84 I am using Domotciz. I think the include process is like once the GW sees some nodes then Go to the Device and click add. If I am correct.
Thanks for quick reply.
It's clear now. It's ok if just using Mysensors for measurements. It is a whole different story when you use it to switch the light or heaters or even worst for security purpose. You mentioned "there you include them". Does it mean you have to perform some actions like phyiscally press the reset button on the arduino (Sensors or GW)??? or It is fully auto???
I've been with Mysensors for just a 3 weeks. Still I haven't been able to make a sensor work because I've got a "blob version of the NRF24 chip". It just very frustrating that it seems very difficult to find a working NRF24L01+ chip. I've been wondering the whole time the blob version does not work with mysensor. Since the blob version shows communication using the "Gettingstarted.pde" sketch. Anyway, my question is HOW DOES THE SERIAL GATEWAY INCLUDE NODES????
If I am correct, the GW and nodes will automatically look for each other and connect to each other without any confirmation from the user. Does this mean that if my neigbour also has a Mysensor GW, he or she will be able to pick up my nodes???
Sorry for the stupid questions
