How do you achieve 3 years of runtime? How often do you wakeup the Atmega to measure the values and send them?

@MCF said in RGB CHAINABLE GROVE LED:

Do you have a link for the LED

But if you want to extend your system, you are more flexible with the MySensors solution in the future.

If you use arduino nanos you don't need any regulators. they have 3.3V for the NRF24L01+ and 5V for the relay.
You even don't need an ethernet shield if you connect the gateway via USB to your controller (Raspberry pi, ...)

This would be my shoping list:

For gateway you could use any arduino uno with or without a w5100 network or an esp8266 if you are just doing tests

ah, I wasn't aware of that. Are there any docs that demonstrate how to build a gateway using that ?

That might work out cheaper in the short term to see if this is a viable solution for what I want to do.

Hello,

Does anybody have an idea where I can buy a big amount of Arduino Nanos with FTDI chip?
I need around 100 Nanos or more.

I don't need genuine modules. I want them to be as cheap as possible. I can buy them from Aliexpress but the biggest number I could find is 5 items and the price is not really good.

Thanks.
Stefan

I'm right that there is no resistor between the LEDs and 5V or GND?
Is it not required?

I like the board and did already order some pcbs for testing.

I did not flash all my nodes with a static node ID and now all new nodes can join the network and are visible in FHEM.

#define MY_NODE_ID 10
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0

I think there is any problem with my WeMos gateway. I will analyze this more in detail, when I have some more time.

Thanks for your support. For me it seems that we have some general problems at the moment.

I will try the following things later:

#define MY_NODE_ID 10
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0
#define MY_PARENT_NODE_IS_STATIC

2. use dev version of 2.1.1

3. downgrade to 2.0.0 or less to check if the hardware is working without any problems

4. use a serial gateway or try to use my WeMos in serial mode

These are the topics with a similar error (just as a summary for myself):
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6147/tsm-fpar-no-reply
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6118/problem-connecting-to-gateway
https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6063/solved-mqtt-esp8266-gateway-issue

Edit: does anybody have an idea how to use a ESP as serial gateway?

So the other thread mentions to go back to 2.0.0
I will try this today and give feedback.

Yes I also tried to restart the node when inclusing mode is on and I don't use MQTT.

I think we both have the same problem:

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/6135/no-new-node-possible

But even when I set FHEM to inclusion_mode = 1, I get this error.
I would assume that the node finds the parent without a running controller if the node ID and parent ID are static.

Inclusion mode is set on the controller. But I think I don't have to activate this in the controller if the node has a static ID.

I did this test also. When I flash a node that was working before with a new ID, it will not join the network.
When I flash it back, to use the old static ID, it is working again without any problems.

Currently I think it is a problem with the WeMos pro mini. I will try it with an other WeMos when it arrives from china.

@tekka

The gateway has a 47µF cap and the nodes use 10uF.

For the gateway I use a NRF24L01-SMD PA+LNA radio module and the nodes use "normal" NRF24L01 modules without PA+LNA.

Hello,

actually I already have a cap next to the radio and the power is supplied by a ams1117 but I will try to change the power supply of the WeMos.

The strange thing is, that all other nodes (6 with temp, hum and battery) are working without any problems. I only get this issue with new nodes.
Will it help to set the node ID manually in the node sketch?

Existing nodes work without any problem:

Even when I set a fixed None ID in the sketch it will not join the network.

When the node is sending a request, I see an update in the debug log of the gateway. So the message gets send correctly.

Hello,

I have a problem with my network. I can not connect any new nodes to the network.

Any ideas if this problem is related to the controller (FHEM) or to MySensors?
