@dpcons you can have as many nrf24l01 MySensors networks as you like. They are differentiated by channel and base radio id. The reason for multiple networks may be more control, isolation, lab/test/production network, approaching the limit (255) of the number of nodes in a single network, separate network for high-traffic devices, different versions of MySensors, interference, range problems, and more.

@mfalkvidd Thanks, I'll try that.

@mfalkvidd Thanks for the info!

Thanks for looking. What arduino ide version are you using and what version of mysensors?

@mfalkvidd Yes, totally forgot about that link you put there. Thanks for reminding me.

@dpcons I had similar issues which I called 'ghost' nodes and 'ghost' sensors. I was getting random nodes added mycontroller and even some existing nodes suddenly had children that simply didn't exist. I did so much over many months to get this sorted. In the end I added a lot of capacitors, took the gateway from directly connceted to pi to via serial USB. I even moved the whole lot to another room..... It's all been fine for a while. I still don't know the exact cause in my case (may be different for you), but power supply, radio nodes, cabling/connections all can play a part in some very wierd things.....

This problem has been resolved. It appears my ANKER 10 port USB Hub is the problem. It's associated with the lower 4 ports of the hub. The remaining 6 are OK. I'm not sure what the actual problem is yet. The hub has a 60W power supply attached so I doubt it's a power issue...maybe noise? I now have a 10 port Amazon Hub which works well. As for the DTR signal, I've always used it and have seldom used the reset buttons. Also, I think most of the Arduinos and clones have it implemented through the serial convertor chip as well. It's also on all the ESP32 and ESP 8266 clones I've used. Again, thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
