hi there,

Thanks for the easypcb! I'm trying to build a small solar powered weather station (like these: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/841/solar-powered-mini-weather-station), but just found that the battery that came with the solar panel only provides 1.2v. The booster works ok and I can power the arduino, but it's no enough for the radio :-(. Since powering the radio from the booster is not a option, I'm at a dead end. Or there's a way to still using this battery/solar panel?

@Samuel235 nice! Since I barely know how to solder I ended going for the livolo. But I may ask for friends help if we find a way to mod the livolo. Btw, since you will change the internals you may look for the ones without RF as they would be even cheaper.

Hi,

Here we go (sorry for the poor lightning):

@HenryWhite, sure. I had a couple of switches arriving next week and will take some photos before installing them.

Hi,

Kind late, but if you still interest I just got my livolo switchs working with mysensors. The 433mhz transmiter has a short range without a antenna and trying to control the living room lights from the adjacent bedroom fails about half the time. But the real downside is that the switch doesnt transmit/report its state, so you cant really know if the lights is on or off. If you are mostly interested in remote control that's ok because you just keeping pressing the button until the light is on/off, but if you are interested in some kind of automation (like, turn the lights on at 6pm) knowing the state is important. Thats sad because the switches really looks good and the touch is good.

@Yveaux rollercontainer pointed to this issue: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/449, where hek asked him to add two lines of code, the first one being "if (presentation)".

@rollercontainer Where should the "if (presentation).." be? At the setup()?

Hi,

How does this work when your gateway also have local sensors? I tried to merge the Humidity sensor (DHT11) with the SerialGateway but it seems that presentation is not called after uploading the sketch. This is what I have:

void setup() { 
  // Setup locally attached sensors
  dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 
  metric = getConfig().isMetric;
}

void presentation() {
 // Present locally attached sensors 
 sendSketchInfo("My Gateway", "1.0");
 present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
 present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
}

And the output is:

0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
0;255;3;0;9;No registration required
0;255;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0, registration=1
0;1;1;0;0;28.0
0;0;1;0;1;59.0 

If I put the "present" lines at the setup() then I got the expected lines:

0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
0;255;3;0;11;My Gateway
0;255;3;0;12;1.0
0;0;0;0;7;
0;1;0;0;6;
0;255;3;0;9;No registration required
0;255;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0, registration=1
0;1;1;0;0;28.0
0;0;1;0;1;59.0 

Is this expected or I missed something? I'm trying to use this gateway with homeassistant and it seems that homeassistant expect those presentation lines. There's a issue with the use of node "0" id too, but i should leave it to another topic.

great news. I will try the version 2.0 this week.

Hi,

I have the same situation here, I mean, serial gateway with local sensors and no radio. But I'd like to use the 1.5 version as I'm not sure with the new one is compatible with homeassistant. Is this fix only to 2.0 branch?
