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?
@GertSanders said:
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:
C:\Users\DM_PC\Desktop\Mysensors 23-2-2015\Sketches Werkend\sketch_mar05a\sketch_mar05a.ino:8:29: fatal error: Adafruit_Sensor.h: No such file or directory
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
Only where can i download the adafruit library?
@carlierd said:
The motion can be adapt to run on 3v easily (connect the Vcc to the H pad if available. You can find information on the forum). The DHT could also run on 3v. I have several nodes like that. No problem.
Can't reply for the step-up because I don't use it.David.
@ David
How long is the 3v battery running whit this option?
@carlierd said:
Hello,
9v means that you are using a voltage regulator which probably consumes a lot of power.
Why not using AA or AAA battery directly connected to Vcc ?David
Motion and DHT needed 5volt i wash thinking..?
So 9 @ the vcc should be strong enough i was thinking.
And i do have @ the same time 3.5 for the radio
Are the extern step up better than the step down on a nano?
dear all.
What battery u use?
And what is the battery time?
@icebob said:
@the-cosmic-gate Nothing special. I made a big sketch, which contains 7-8 sensors (DHT, Si7021, MQ-2/9, PIR, Door magnet, Light, battery) reading code because I would like to upload the same sketch to all nodes and configurate it on controller side, which sensors is on the node and need to read.
But currently I reached the limit with I2C includes, so I need to think over this solution.
Dear..
Did you finish your big code....
5 days....
on a 9volt block
The sketch on a nano
On my toilet.... so not a very busy room
Is there some one that live longer, with this sketch......?
Ok thanks for fast response..
I think i am going to build my whole house with your board, incl Domoticz, i got the best Home automation house of the world
Give it a try, i hope i have ordered the good stuff, and i hope i get the boards..
Is there a latest or best working sketch, include the batterysave option from mysensors, you use?
I ordered the latest version...
What is the battery life?
Is this sketch working great now?
And how is the battery?
How long can work this sketch, on what type battery?
Dear...
Great project...[ when i got my stuff i am going to build to...
Only how do you use the motionsensor of this light...[ new one or do you use the build in one ]
In the sketch is can not see this motionsensor?
Only in our Vera controller is see arm and bypass?
Can you set the level of the lights, in vera?
Two times temperature?
And how is your battery action in the winter-period?
@davy39 said:
up !
Could anyone help me to configure domoticz & mysensors in order to control analog RGB led strip ?
Is this option working?
Or perhaps a RGBW strip...
When i put this sketch in to a nano..
With a 9volt battery....
How long do think this working?
Or how long is this acting on your 3 volt battery's?
@ Carlied,
What code is better that one of you or the one from cosmi gate?
What are the different thing? Is your code check'the battery status?
And i get a error:
no matching function for call to 'MySensor::MySensor(MyTransportRFM69&, MyHwATMega328&, MySigningAtsha204Soft&)'
And how is this sensor acting?
This is what i am looking for..
How lang can this sensor work? [ i wil try this with a 9Volt battery with a nano ]
What battery do you use?
Dear.....
I try to build a ethernet gateway for my domoticz system.
I use win10 X64
A original arduino nano.[ i try more ]
The upload of Blink is working good and simple....
What i try, it is not possible for me.
The codebender plugin give a error:
There was an error compiling.
And my 1.6.5 ide give a error :
avr-gcc: error: C:\Users\DM_PC\AppData\Local\Temp\build3167736193213218843.tmp/core.a: No such file or directory
Fout bij compileren.
Please help....
Edit...
I try a nano to upload a sketch with codebender for a sensor..
That is working perfect....
I think thought using two gateways for MySensors paralell might be hard... dont know if anyone done that but I guess you will recieve the message twice if you have two MySensors gateways to same controller.```
Do you have a how to?
Sorry, for my stupids...
My controller is Domoticz...
I want to build a gateway for mysensors and mqtt
What should i make....
I prefer 1 hardware for the 2 protocols
Or is the best option to make 2 different gateways?
So i must make a gw for my sensors....[ uno is the best option? ]
And make a gateway for MQTT?
Thanks
Thanks...
I gonna try it.. [ and read... ]
Only i think it should work in Domoticz...
But i try to start with my sensors..
And then mqtt
Dear al....
Is there a how to or something for my idea:
I would like to make an all in one gateway, mysensors and MQTT [ I do not know what it all is, but if I still start . ]
Best ..
I want to build myself battery powered . I wanted to use the ESP 6288 , but has suffered from battery drain.
Now I'm going to try mysensors .
I would like to make an all in one gateway, mysensors and MQTT [ I do not know what it all is, but if I still start . ]
I have an Arduino envisioned as a gateway.
Could it be one gateway for both protocols ?
Can anyone help me on the road as a start ?
Because when I read, it seems like the mysensors gateway , both supported?
Thanks advance !!
