Thanks everyone for the answers. However what I would like to do is create a routine with Dzvents that when I have the "red" indication (as shown in the image) causes a switch to operate which cuts the voltage to a device. The value of ".lastUpdate.minutesAgo" seems not to be the right solution because it continues to be increased in any case, regardless of the temperature value and the status of the "red" or normal indication.

Hi to all.
I need to act in case of my temperature node is not updating the value since time. Practically when the screen shows a "red line" on the upper left side (see below picture), I need to get the bad status and provide an action. I searched on forum with no success. I tried to use ".lastUpdate.minutesAgo" but it seems not to be the right way.
May someone help me to finde the right parameter to check?

Found the solution. I used

asm volatile (" jmp 0 "); // reset

to reboot the node each hour (or any other timing) .

Hi everybody. I created my MySensors home network based on DomoticZ loaded into Raspberry PI and several nodes based on Arduino Pro Mini (16, 5V), DHT22 and W5100 ethernet card. Basically the network is based on Ethernet (wired) and is used to collect temp and hum from every room in my house and through DomoticZ control the temperature room by room. Sometimes few nodes (not always the same, it happen randomly) are not receveid by DomoticZ. If I reboot the node then it starts to be gathered by DomoticZ again. Can you suggest me how to solve this issue? I read the forum to check if the node autoreboot is feasible but (if I well understood ) it seems to be not possible. May someone of you help me?

Hi guys from Italy. I live in one of the most interested areas by the Virus and I can say that the situation is very bad. I read some of you refer to older people as the main group touched by the virus. That's obviously true but our doctors start to say that the last days people around 50 years old are now increasing in the intensive care units. So, since you all have more time than us, please stay at home and avoid any possible contact with others because this virus is very aggressive. Take care!

Finally I've solved. I'm still using UIPEthernet sincee my problem was the use of DHT library (last rev) with UIPEhernet lib.
I was having a restart of teh ETH port each time I was reading Temp/hum. I've changed into SimpleDHT lib and now it's working fine. I'm using a mix of W5100 and ENC28J60.

Hallo. I would like to use EtherCard lib with ENC28J60: is it possible? The only example I see on Build section is created by using UIPEthernet lib. Is there any code example to create a gateway with EtherCard library? Is anyone using ENC28J60 based gateway together with EtherCard?
I some haveing some problem with UIPEthernet since I receive ETH:FAIL and I cannot ping my gateway. The ENC28J60 module is working because if I compile an example with EtherCard I can ping it; similarly, I've created a web server and it's working.

@mfalkvidd Thanks a lot as usual! Any I cannot download the libraries: can you give me some instructions to load on my Arduino tool?

Hi.
I have a node composed by Arduino Nano, DHT11 sensor, mini W5100 ethernet shield and OLED 128x32 display.
I'm using Adafruit GFX library to control the OLED display.
The problem is the code size that seems to be more than 32K therefore I cannot compile it.
I tried to squeeze the code but with no success. Any help? Suggestion?

@mfalkvidd Solved, it was my mistake on wiring. Thanks.

Thanks for clarify. So, why my raspberry pi domoticz don't see the gateway? If I try to ping the ethernet gateway i cannot reach it. Ma there any ping test to be used?

@mfalkvidd thanks. Removing the define for radio the output says TSP NA, why?

Hallo. I would like to use a gateway based on Mini W5100 Ethernet shield with no Radio module: is it feasible?
I have connected the devices as indicated in MySensor but I cannot reach my Controller (Domoticz over Raspberry PI).

The output of serial debug is

Any help?

Hallo.
Is it possible to make portable the Domoticz application? I have a pc where I have not the administrator rights so I'd like to install a portable version of Domoticz.

@mfalkvidd
Now it's working fine. It was an electrical problem. I changed the power supply and now it's working.
Now I have a new question. I use an Arduino Pro Mini Node with ethernet gateway. I have connected to the same node two relays, one switch, one PIR and one DHT11. The question is: what about sleep times? I mean, from the examples of DHT and PIR and others, often it's indicated a Sleep time. SInce the sketch has a unique Loop, how I have to manage the Sleep. Currently I have removed the sleep and I use a counter for each sensor attached to the same MySensors Node. Is this the right solution?

@mfalkvidd My output is identical with the exception of the row related the Eth. I see the row only when the connection with Domoticz is established. Could be a problem of power? I mean, can be a problem related the power despite the green/yellow led of the RJ45 are blinking?

@mfalkvidd I did the test and I obtained a weird result. After several initial test (I started with examples to check the functionality of the ENC28j60, like pinging the Google site) i can say that the wiring between Arduino Pro Mini and ENC28j60 is correct (I saw pinging on my serial monitor). When I test my sktech (that concern one DHT11, two relays and one switch) the connection with the controller (Raspberry PI 3 with Domoticz) is not assured. Time to time I see teh connection on Domoticz but very often the connection is not present. Which debug I can do? Which string I have to receive on my serial monitor to be sure that the Ethernet module is properly recognized? For your info, the power led on the ENC28j60 is lighted and the two leds (green and yellow) on RJ45 port are blinking. I tried to ping the ENC28j60 but I cannot ping it.

@mfalkvidd Thanks a lot. Effectively I did the same with DHT11 sketch and enc28j60 gateway sketch. The combined sketch has been successfully compiled and later on I will test it. I have a question: the temp and humidity values are sent through the Arduino serial link (correct?) by using the "send" instruction. Adding the enc28j60 gateway code, it is automatically send through the Etehernet link?

Hallo.
That's my first project with MySensor since so foar I have only tested different examples I found on internet,
My project is to create a Temperature/Humidity sensor in each room of my house and then control the temperature of each room by using a dedicated electric valve for each radiator (interfaced with a MySensor node based on relay). As temperature/humidity sensor I have DHT11 and as gateway I have enc28j60. I'm using a Arduino Pro Mini 5v. The "brain" of the system will be a Raspberry PI 3 equipped with DomoticZ.
First problem is how to combine the examples I have found in MySensors (DHT code and enc28j60 code) in a sketch. Can you help me or indicate where to find how to integrate two sketches (examples) in one?

@rejoe2 Thanks!

Hi everybody. I'm a newbie of MySensors. My question: is it possible to realize a mysensors project by using only ethernet modules (no radio modules)? I mean, I would like to use the Raspberry Pi as ethernet gateway (using the Raspberry Pi on-board ethernet port) and several sensors (door switch, temperature and humidity) connected through ethernet modules (wired).
I had a look into the forum but I didn't find the answer.
