    • Daikin heatpump controller, no IR

      Hi
      I have been searching if this cable can be used like the cn105 for Mitsubishi devices, but so far I only found libraries for daikin that use IR. Is there really no other way than IR?

    • RE: Reliable 5v buck converter recommendations?

      If you don't want to rely on the RPI, you can still use node to node communication and have a node sending temperature to the relay and when it gets a temperature lower than a certain limit will trigger the heating. You can also use a small attyny as an HW watchdog on the pi that will trigger a hw reset if it doesn't detect a certain condition

      @alowhum said in What did you build today (Pictures) ?:

      I guess not having a regulator on board is what makes the Arduino Pro Micro so good at being battery powered.

      actually the better solution is the pro mini at 3.3v with regulator and led removed, and you can use an LDO regulator to power it with a LiPo cell or no regulator at all if you use a LiFePO4 battery. Using the arduino at 3.3v allows you to use all radio modules and all the low power sensors.

      There are some rules you can make on the app and it should also keep track of the power usage. If that is not enough for you, you can flash tasmota on the sonoff and use any controller that can use mqtt to get data from the sonoff and control the relay.

      #ifdef MY_RADIO_RFM69
      	rssi = RFM69_getSendingRSSI();             // read RSSI in RFM69. Measure reception signal from gw
      	send(msgRSSI1.set(rssi));                  // send RSSI level

      	rssi = RFM69_getReceivingRSSI();           // read RSSI in RFM69. Wait and measure background noise
      	send(msgRSSI2.set(rssi));                  // send RSSI level
      	wait(200);                                 // wait for next send

      The problem is that temperature alone doesn't cause the freezing. When there is clear sky things on the ground can get 2 or 3 degrees colder than air temperature because of a specific infrared radiation window that is radiating heat into space more than it is absorbing from the atmosphere.

    • RE: Powering mote 24/7 using only a supercap and solar

      what I meant is that they don't actually go to 0v even if you short them as you will always be able to measure some small voltage. I am no expert but my bet is that that 0.5/0.6v is kind of their bottom line where they don't hold any more useful energy below that.

      For balancing there are SAB Mosfets that help to keep all the supercaps on the same voltage, but the reverse charge issue is the same for all series circuits, also LiPo worn out batteries can get to 0V and then getting reverse charged with all the consequent risk of fire.

      On the cheap supercaps I have they hold the 0.6v, they don't go to zero

      The 1.1v reference could be + or - 10%, but a small ceramic cap on near the analog pin should help to stabilize the reading. Also taking 3 measures and then sending the average is a good way of minimizing errors

    • RE: Supercap Solar Powered Mysensors nodes as cheap as possible

      No idea really, the box was sealed. I suspect they might have gotten unbalanced. About charge cycles I don't think they were a problem since they probably had less than 400 (1 cycle a day). They were cheap Chinese parts, so poor quality for sure given the self discharge rate they had. Given the cost of a LiFePO4 battery compared to supercaps, I think I'm going to take the battery route and ditch the whole solar power. I have an identical node running on a single AA LiFePO4 and in 8 months it barely discharged even if it is sending 4 values every 10 minutes

      Ok, after almost a year 3 out of 5 5.5v supercaps started leaking... Rip

      The send function returns a value, so you can check if it was successfully sent or not and in case retry

      Is an esp8266 powerful enough for a bme680?

    • RE: Which dust sensor do you use and why?

      @korttoma if you have a library that can read the values from the sensor, you can easily add the mysensors code

      you are at the limit of the radio range I'd say so randomly it looses a message, so you need to either increase power or get a better antenna (I hope you aren't using any buck/boost converter as power supply)

    • RE: Garage Node!

      Maybe next time you could add a flash chip for Ota firmware and use I2C sensors to make wiring a lot simpler. You may consider using one of the many pcb available on openhardware.io to shrink down the size of that node 😁

    • RE: control the impulse relay of the House eletrical installation

      If you have your node close to the relay, you could install one of those mains voltage detectors to have a feedback on the status
