In your network setup, if you want the controller to send a message to all devices for initialization without using a loop to iterate through all possible node IDs, you can consider utilizing the broadcast functionality of your communication protocol.

Typically, most communication protocols, including MySensors, support broadcast messages that can be sent to all devices within the network. Broadcasting a message allows you to send a single message that will be received by all devices simultaneously, without the need for individual addressing.

Consult the documentation or API reference of your specific communication protocol (e.g., MySensors) OR refer this [spam link removed by moderator] to understand how to implement broadcasting functionality within your network.
Hope it helps you.

Hello @JeeLet

The architecture I am using is as follows:
Nodes <--- RF ---> Gateway <--- RFM/RS ---> Controller
Material: Atmega-based sensors
Software: MySensors version 2.3.2
Controller: MyController version 2.0.0.Final
Platform: Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu with MyController 2.x

It depends on the specific requirements of the project. PIR sensors are better suited for detecting motion in confined spaces like rooms or hallways, while Microwave Doppler sensors are better suited for larger areas like outdoor spaces or parking lots. The choice ultimately depends on the specific requirements and constraints of the project.

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my MySensors sensors to work with MyController on my Raspberry Pi. I'm using MyController version 2.0.0.Final and MySensors version 2.3.2.

I've followed the installation instructions for both MyController and MySensors, but when I try to connect my sensors to MyController, they are not showing up in the interface.

I've checked the logs and I'm not seeing any error messages, so I'm not sure what the issue could be.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been struggling with a issue with MySensors sensors not working with MyController on Raspberry Pi. Your suggestions on troubleshooting and resolving the issue have been really helpful. I will definitely try them out and see if it resolves my problem.
