    • RE: FTDI No more?

      Newer drivers don't work(anymore).
      I use the driver Prolific from 24-Sep-08 version 3.3.2.102
      You have manually to tell windows to use the older one instead of the newer.

      Thanks @mfalkvidd for your quick reply.
      Indeed it isn't battery powered. I already have a millis() delay loop so checking the swithes is easy then.
      Thanks again!

    • RE: 2 or more DHT22 on 1 node with Domoticz

      A bit of a late reply but some time ago I also asked about this in the domoticz forum. "They" don't see the problem although I clearly see in the domoticz sources that this stupid behavior is intentionally put in there. I compiled domoticz with a few changed lines and then it works. Unfortunately I have tons of Mysensors issues, mainly with the NRF2401 (yes, from multiple sources, good psu, capacitors etc.) so I am forcefully have to abandon Mysensors and migrate to ESP8266 nodes to finally get a stable sensor network. Therefore I'm also more flexible with domoticz.

    • RE: script to convert serial to mqtt?

      You could also use node-red for this (and many other useful things)

    • RE: Can one arduino present multiple devices?

      @alowhum, Domoticz can't handle this well. I don't know about other controllers but Domoticz is a bit quirky with multiple sensors of the same kind on the same node. Especially HUM en TEMP are a pain.

      I "solved" this by using Node-Red in between the GW and Domoticz. Then you have all the freedom you want.

    • Design question about using interrupts or not

      Hi All,

      Since this is my first post I would like to thank all who made MySensors possible!

      In my development environment I have several setups as a proof of concept with all kind of sensors, relays, LCD and so on. It works great and I am about to begin in designing a number of permanent nodes but have some thoughts about whether or not use interrupts.

      The node I am working on is based on a Nano and NRF24 radio. On this node there will be following connected: DHT22, DS18b20, LDR(analog), 2 relays and 4 reed switches.

      The 4 reed switched are to monitor some doors. A reaction time on those switches of about 0.5 second is enough(i think). So my question is; Should I use interrupts or is it better to (semi) continuously check the switches and occaisionally check and report the other sensors.

      I know I could use interrupts but since there are doors to monitor and not several 10.000rpm tacho's I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

      Please let me know if you have some thoughts on this.

      Kind regards,
      Gerard
