No I didn't try that, just out of experience.
But now I see you include Mysensors.h again in the example. If you want to use mysensors functions in the header file you should just include
#include <core/MySensorsCore.h>

What happens if you first include the example and then the Mysensors library?
I also use platformio and it works perfectly.
@sergio-rius said in Take care while using VS Code:
I'm not using remote backup at home because I can't. I don't have a minimum reliable connection for that. Mines compares to dial modem. Local backup is set, but vscode still reverted that. Backups don't do a thing if wrong data is commited.
I have a local git server setup on my NAS. Works great, integrates nicely into VS code. This may give you more security not to lose code.
You expect the baudrate to be 19200, but Mysensors also initialises the port at a baudrate. Maybe that one is done later and you should use the terminal on that baudrate?
You will get multiple messages, if the message arrives correctly but the hardware ACK doesn't.
Do you have a repeater in between the sender and gateway? It could be that the repeater does receive the initial message (and the sensor gets a hardware ACK), but that never reaches the gateway because of a transmission error between the repeater and the gateway.
Hmm is it that old already 
The sketch uses a different library for the sleep functions, if I remember correctly. So if you use this sketch you should port the mysensors part to 2.x, otherwise just use the sleep functions in your own sketch.
Hope it helps
@homer what information is shown on the serial monitor?
@alowhum
I use a similar function like this
sendWithPermission(msgHum.set(humidity, 1));
boolean sendWithPermission(MyMessage &msg)
{
// Check permission and send here
}
@alowhum said in Easiest way to enable/disable MySensors on running node?:
I could create a lot of if (connecting_allowed){ around the send()functions in the script. But perhaps there's an easier way that involves less coding?
Make a new sendWithPermission() function that is called from the sketch, and check in there if (connecting_allowed)
