mmmm i think that al this work, for a 4 weeks working sensor is not a good solution for a home automation system....
Why can a Zwave or 433Mhz motion sensor work for more then a year...
Is my biggest question..
Forum link
Is there relay now solution for a battery live for a year...
Other bord, other sketch, other regulator, other battery...
or...

My motion sensor has dropped 2% battery level during last one month. It's in a busy area (sends ~200 messages per day).
Yes i see your very nice project...
Only i am a amateur and can not [ yet ] build your nice sensor ..[ i wiill try when i have the stuff ]
Only what is making your sensor so great..
The software or the hardware??
When i use your sketch, is my sensor then working for a longer time?
Because the size is not my problem.. [ i will try to build build a my sensor in a factory motion sensor, that will fit ]
Dear all.
I have built a few sensors, on battery.
Everything works but only for a week or...
I have a nano with just a motion sensor and a sleep time of 15 minutes
Sketch
With a battery of 3000mAh block @ 5 volts.
I have a small pro on 3.3volt @ 2x 1.5 volts with a power up for my motion sensor
Sketch
All LEDs and the power regulater removed.
Only a motion sensor, with sketch sleeptime 20 minutes.
Quiet area for a week or
...
Why can operate a Zwave or a 433Mhz motion for months / years on 3xAA. And a powerbank and a mysensor less than a month?
Does anyone have a solution
I think i go wrong... Only where??
Thanks for all the help!!
guess what...
I do have a:

Exact the same board in of this light...
I think i going to try the make this work...
Only i do not understand exact the wiring of your example.
Will you please make a list of exact stuff to buy.
And make some more pictures, from the good places..
And a thing that i see.
You use D2 from the arduino.
Is that not a one for the radio?
This is great.....[ and great for a dummy like me ]
Would you please tell me all the hardware you use?
Or the strength of the resistor etc etc
This option with a pir...
or a magnet sensor.
What is the battery live?
I wait..
Hope you give a signal here when there are new possibilities..
And i hope you will share a stable sketch... for battery devices.
good luck!!
mmm i ordered 1...
So i hope i gonna ix this...
It is looking higher mathematics
Will see... when i have time..
Thanks for the sketch!!!
Give it a try in a uno ...
higher math for me...
Great...
Can you use the motion seperate from the liight?
And can u use the light with a switch option? [ i will turn on the light when there is motion.. ]
Or is the light switching only on lux?
i am going to try to build a sensor to with this option..
Is it working?
And what sensor[s] do you have?
great, i see in domoticz the value great!!!...[ when power is low i get an alert. ]
You have a lot of sketches :-)
Is het possible that you build a sketch include your pir-battery-ldr, and a light switch, or a option so i can switch a ledlight.
Like a pir-battery-ldr-switch... :-)
I will try to rebuild a solarpowerlight
With a solar powerbank, and a:Light
So i can have a Domoticz controlled solarpower light and motion/ldr [my]sensor
Only i cannot make a sketch for this... [ if you want, i will pay for it..., or a donation to charity organization ]
sorry, it is working now: what do you mean with long readVcc?
I use the sketch battery pir, to test
Only the report of the vcc how many times is the sketch reading this?
And where can i see the status?
I use Domoticz as controller.
yes i saw your better solution..the si7021 is using less power i read..
Where do i have to place the: long readVcc
And how do ik make that .H file?
How long is the multisensor running? on what battery?
Great...
Hope this will work for a long time on a battery?
What battery's you are using?
1 problem< WHERE CAN I FIND:
#include <readVcc.h>
great project
What is the sketch u use?

SI7021
I hope i can make a 3 in 1 sensor
Motion / contact.
temp and humanity
Better should be a multisensor, with a lot of option so we can choose .
The examples on my sensor are most 1 sensor...
And then work on a battery[s] for a year
Thanks for the SI7021 tip..
@ jtm312
Dear..
Great project!
I print your station, very good quality!!!
How is the battery?
Do you have options to reduce the power?
Is this sketch the best option?
Do you have a list that i need to buy so i can build this nice station?
Thanks!!!
still got an error:

Only where can i download the adafruit library?
