Hello Community,

currently i removed all MySensors devices. I am very sad about this. But i couldn't establish a reliable connection to the gateway and the sensors.
I was very frustrated about the preferred radio "NRF24L01+". I read every article about this sensor and how to improve range and connection.
Didn't get any good results with this radio. I also read that this kind of radios have a very bad range and only work within 2-3 meters.
So i can't understand why these radios are the preferred radios for mysensors, this makes this project really unrealiable.

Currently, i switched to Zigbee devices from Aqara with a Conbee USB Stick from dresden electronics.
The Aqara Sensors and button devices fulfill all my requirements and have a very good connection and the battery usage of the devices is awesome.
Bought some of the sensors 16 month ago, and have a battery level of 80/90 % !!!
All other Zigbee devices like bulbs and LED-Stripes works to with conbee. As the central gateway i use pimatic (pimatic.org)

But if you need custom sensors and actors for a Maker Project MySensors is a good thing, but if you new to this project, i advise you to use any other communication method than NRF24L01+. This radios are total crap.

sincerely,
Felix

i think conditional report is the problem:

#define FEATURE_CONDITIONAL_REPORT ON

without it works fine.

@user2684 i just mean, we have to put this is the documentation.

currently i have a strange problem:

the Motion Sensors doesnt reset. I checked with my old Motion sketch and everything is fine.
Only sends the Value "1".

@user2684
FEATURE_CONDITIONAL_REPORT & setValueDelta()

would be nice for other users to document this function. With this i am able to only send values to the gateway when its changed. Using it for a Light Sensor and dont need the value every 10 seconds and not every 10 Minutes....
Just when it changes (1 second) and only when it changes.

@user2684
thx, that is what was what i am looking for.

is there a possibilty to only send values if the value has changed?

can anyone explain me the signal node? i get this values with setReportIntervalSeconds(1);

nobody know how to implement a safe communication with resend logic to 2.0.0 ?

are you rely on a system with a "maybe" communication? really?

Re: resend if st=fail
implemented that on 1.5.0 and worked like a charm.

How can i implement that resend logic to a gateway in Version 2.0.0?

There is no parseAndSend() function and i didnt see any function to get the ACK from sensore node.
How is this done in 2.0.0?

I have light switches with rf433 and movement sensors. That setup wont work if the communication isnt reliable.
Any suggestions?
