Guys you are right is too early to quit , i have to try the RFM69 433Mhz as well before quitting , i was planning to wire my house with a 5v power supply to power all the sensors but i guess using a lower freq can help me to avoid that , will give it a try , lest just hope the rfm69 arrive, cuz i always have problems with evay ,
thanks guys you open mi mind one more time
Hello guys i just decide to quit using mysensors , in nothing personal is just is not working for me i live in mexico and almost all houses are a Faraday cages, yesterday i was tenting a new gateway with a few sensors and i just lose my mind , losing connection , every minute , try adding a repeater didnt help change the NRF24L01+ radio for a long range antenna , changing arduinos mini /nano/ uno etc , same result all day yesterday i was fighting to use mysensors , today i just went ahead and buy a nodemcu install mqtt to my controller , flash tasmota and in less than 2 hours i was able to add my sensor , i love this community, thanks to you guys i was introduced to home automation and learn a lot , but is time for me to change for another solutions for my home ,
thanks guys i really appreciate all your help , and all you time spending on working on an open source solution for all of us ,
@neverdie go for the pi zero chip is really nice a little better than the pi zero wifi and bt integraded 4gb and a few cool stuff , but theres people that pay a year ago and still waiting for the chip to arrive , no reply and no support on forum , to me chip is dying , you cant never go wrong with a pi , but i will try in a few months the omega2 to remplace my chips
well today finally i decide to change to c.h.i.p. as a controller with domoticz an amazing device but too bad for the product that got really bad customer support, ( if you planning to buy a c.h.i.p. read the forum first to get all the problems)
this is my controller using a chip, arduino nano
planing to chage the nano to a nodemcu
@Dave-Myers this is asoweme will try in this days but sound amazing thanks for sharing.
Your idea is possible you need a good case for that meaby a pelican case with clear top for the solar cell
Something like this

Solar panel
Ypou need a good silicone for any hole you drill on the box and I this this will be able to do what you need
almost a year ago i was browsing on kickstarter when i saw the new micro pc C.H.I.P. from Next Thing Co. (www.getchip.com) , i order one just for fun 9usd + 6usd shipping , this machine took too long to arrive almost a year ,
but when arrive i get amazed of all the fetures that this $9 machine can do
1GHz Allwinner R8 processor
512MB of RAM
8GBytes of flash
Wifi
Bluetooth 4.0
video output (composite video)
linux debian distribution
CHIP is powered at 5V and draws about 500mA during boot,On the header terminals, we find a variety of power sources include 5V, 3.3V and 1.8V. The maximum current draws on these are 2A, 700mA and 50mA respectively
already included with a connector for a battery ( 1s) with " sudo battery.sh "we can have battery stats
BAT_STATUS=0
CHARG_IND=1
BAT_EXIST=1
CHARGE_CTL=0xc9
CHARGE_CTL2=0x45
Battery voltage = 3951.2mV
Battery discharge current = 0mA
Battery charge current = 510.0mA
Internal temperature = 56.8c
so i decide to make a controller for my sensors as i dont had a pi (to expensive for me 
)
so i decide to install mycontroller (mycontroller.org) it works pretty well but i decide to use Domoticz the installation for domoticz is pretty simple
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential nano cmake git libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev libsqlite3-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libusb-dev zlib1g-dev python3-dev
mkdir ~/domoticz
cd ~/domoticz
wget https://releases.domoticz.com/releases/release/domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz
tar xvfz domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz
rm domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz
./domoticz
and thats it
http://chip-ip:8080
domoticz is really nice controller i gonna test it for a couple of months.
also we can install node-red and johnny-five gpio for chip
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install python
cd /tmp
mkdir node
cd node
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.4.7/node-v4.4.7-linux-armv7l.tar.xz
tar -xvf node*
cd node*
sudo cp -R * /usr/local
cd /usr/local/bin
cd ~
mkdir node-red
cd node-red
npm install node-red
cd node_modules
cd node-red
npm install node-red-contrib-gpio johnny-five chip-io
node red.js
Go to http://chip-ip:1880 and play
i test node-red and works great
if you know how to use a pi you will know how to use chip
on the chip forum danjperron manage to add a nrf24l01 to the chip se meaby we can use a controller and gateway in the same device or make wifi sensors

@mfalkvidd thanks mate that's exactly what I need
@Boots33 I did on Firefox ( window) and in chrome ( android) same result on both , I just need to wait don't know how long till the "You have exceeded the maximum number of registration attempts for this session. Please try again later." Allow me to try again.
