@Yveaux I wish i could come :)

Eindhoven is a nice city, I remember my visit there few years back..

check whether you received any message ( serialport output ) on relay sensor node.

@BastienVH . check few things first.

1. hardware wiring is correct and as per mysensor guide.
2. what debug value "sensorValue" you are seeing on serial console if you debug your sensor node.
3. check the debug log in pimatic

Smartclock based on timer based mysensors node, which fetches time in unix second from pimatic controller.

Smartclock made from following components.

1. 4 cascade matrix led 8x8.
2. DHT11 for temperature
3. Li polymer 4000 mh battery.
4. PIR sensor for motion detection.
5. Shuttle box.. :-)
6. misc..

SmartDisplay shows following info based on controller 's rules.

1. Time to office using bing map api.
2. Outside home temp, hum etc.
3. Online weather forecast information.
4. Any online information can be displayed like stock tick etc.

Smartclock clock has temperature sensor DHT11 and a motion PIR sensor to detect movement.

@karl261 using ButtonsDevice as mentioned by Oitzu, you can achieve the point no. 1 . non off/on switch..

{
      "id": "mode",
      "name": "TV Mode",
      "class": "ButtonsDevice",
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "PVR",
         "text": "PVR"
        },
        {
          "id": "HTPC",
          "text": "HTPC"
        },
        {
          "id": "Chromecast",
          "text": "Chromecast"
        },
        {
          "id": "testing",
          "text": "RainBowCycle"
        },
      ]
    },

for point no. 2 you can use pimatic IFTTT rules to control (*hidden * relay switch button) moreover you can switch off optocoupler after 50 ms using rules.

3. if you have some special requirement you are welcome to contribute..

@Oitzu sure will do it need some time..

New version of plugin available. 0.8.21.

and a video to showcase its capability..

Recently we had a Hackathon event at our office and where we showcase open source MySensors wireless network capability along with pimatic controller running on sweet pi.

@admin @hek

found this library for scrolling effect https://code.google.com/p/arudino-maxmatrix-library/.

@GertSanders purchased it from ebay, yes inside it is mini pro and nrf radio module ..

My compact serialGateway with nrf201 long range , power indicator LED and USB cable connected to Pi.

@epierre .. nothing much .. used relay to control 2 devices and tried to calculate the power consumed ( in watts ) assume the input voltage is ~220v.

@hek and team. congratulation on new milestone.

using IR transmitter

I have gone through this link, and tried it recommendation of increasing the RAWBUF size and also used sample sketch which was not working for me , may be i was doing something wrong. Also, It uses raw IR signal and handling raw signal is not simple compare to IR hex code which are at max 32 bits. I wish IRlib, IRemote etc support handling of long IR signals. Any library which support it?

@Moshe-Livne the IR library i used is some how fails to decode and dump the AC IR signal received even after increasing the buffer size RAWBUF, not sure how broadlinks rm2 is working.. basically i used mini pro node as IR receiver/emitter .. the received IR hex codes ( bit, type NEC, etc ) are send to controller ( pimatic ) . Using pimatic Rules controlling electronic devices which sends IR hex code to node if rule is triggered.

Any one tried using IR transmitter to send IR signal to AC with mini pro ( 328p ) as mysensor node. I know mini pro have limited ram / rom support.

Note: AC remote send long IR signals which may not be completely captured by IR receivers connected to mini pro. may be one try on rasp pi but that's a last resort.

@Mad-Moo latest code 0.8.17 is pushed to github. now everything is sync.

newer version (0.8.15 ) of plugin release . support Acronym for devices . improves user experience.
