@rozpruwacz I've checked the values and they don't seem to be that far from expected but as you say they definitely weren't the stated resistance . I think @gohan is right I will add the correction in the sketch and try and get it reasonably close. Thanks again everyone for your help .
@gohan well adding a cap from the impedance point to A0 has 100% stabilized my readings

however a multi meter gives me 2.90v and the reading is 2.78v i understand it wont be 100% accurate but this far out is a little weird my other sensors are about 1 or 2 volts if that . any ideas?
@gohan yeah I have some on order. I'm just learning with what I've got till they come and the sensors I've made won't be seen so not a problem for the moment . Thanks again .
@gohan yeah it's hard to see but the black wire behind all the radio wires goes to A0 from the divider. I'll put a little cap on this .
This is how it looks I know it's a little messy but a little cap between the high impedance point and A0 will help ?
@rozpruwacz I'm using 2 AA batteries . I think it might be worthwhile me using @Yveaux vcc library as a reference and see if that improves things. Also I think I might delay a little longer before the read to allow it to settle more after the contact interrupt .
@gohan @Yveaux I think this might be the option to send in the average reading .To be fair this was opening the contact every couple of seconds and in reality this would be alot longer between reads . Thanks for your help.
Ok so I added the analog reference into the loop and a delay(100);
this has improved things the readings are less erratic but still not close enough .

I have the resistors set up as described here
with the addition of a 0.1uF cap over R2 (470KΩ) resistor
is there a way to stabilize these readings ?
@mfalkvidd
you sir are amazing , I soldered the 47uF capacitor practically on the radio and now I'm getting about 10 metres before I get Nack=0 messages . Hopefully with the addition of the NRF24L01+PA+LNA on the gateway I should be able to cover all of the property.
Thank you so much again for your help .
@mfalkvidd
is it possible for me to remove the booster if I've removed the regulator on the pro mini?
How long do your sensors last without a booster ?
Why do you think my radio's fail when I power them straight from the battery ? Cheap clones maybe ?
@mfalkvidd I need your advice regarding the radio's on my Arduino nodes . I've wired the power for the radio to vcc on the Arduino which is boosted by a 3.3v step up booster .
I have a decoupling capacitor between the vcc and Gnd of the radio but I think my limited range is because of the noise from the booster . If I wire the power of the radio directly to the battery the radio fails completely as seen in the serial monitor . What are my options ?
Should I used one of the adapters recommended by @Thucar on all my battery sensors ?
@thucar
that is brilliant I will be getting one of these anything to make life easier . Thanks for your help
@thucar
yeah I read somewhere that unshielded the NRF24L01+ was awful . The socket adapter you linked what is the benefit of using it ? Is it meant to replace the regulator and make a better connection for the radio ?
@mfalkvidd thanks for all your help, I really should of read that page a lot more carefully and maybe i wouldnt of missed those two explanations .
@mfalkvidd
Thanks for the reply, I've just noticed the fine print ( If you are using the nrf24 PA/LNA version you need to use a 5V->3.3V regulator because the Raspberry Pi 3.3V can't supply enough power.
Is this what it refers to here?
out of interest how do I connect this inline from the 5v pin to radio 3.3v pin ? I notice that the link suggests 2 x 10 uF capacitors either side of the regulator . What I'm asking is how best to wire this up with the Raspberry pi pins, the radio , the capacitors and the regulator .
thanks for you help .
Ok so I'm having signal problems with a temperature sensor I want to have outside .
I have a Raspberry pi gateway with a standard nrf24 radio wires to the gpio's with openhab as the controller and I'm using Arduino pro mini 3.3v with 2 AA batteries for my sensors . When I placed it out side as soon as I close the back door it loses signal. Strangely when I bring it back inside it seems to crash my gateway and I have to restart the gateway and reset the sensor. The sensor is only about 10 metres away in a shed and I know the standard nrf24's are meant to be good for 60 metres clear line of site . Would a NRF24L01+PA+LNA attached to the gateway help improve this ?
Are the 5v gpio pins on the Raspberry pi suitable for the NRF24L01+PA+LNA ?
Also I take it that the NRF24L01+PA+LNA would drain the battery quickly on a battery powered sensor.
@FlipFlap3
Firstly well done for the brilliant instructions . I too have been attempting to use Openhab with my sensors over the last year and to be honest although I've had relative success, because of the limited amount of, up to date and accurate tutorials its been a steep slope to climb. Currently I have Openhabian installed on a Raspberry pi with a Gateway connected to the I/O pins of the Pi and a couple of temp sensors connected ( all be it with difficulty ). It's setup as an Ethernet Gateway but I did try once to setup it up as a serial gateway, unsuccessfully I might add. Out of interest if I did re- install using your setup instructions, Is a serial Gateway better or easier in any way ? it does seem like the most supported option of the 3 for most people on the forum .
Thanks @gohan
I will desolder both today this was just a test to if I wired it right. I've had a quick look at the link and I sort of understand how it works.
Regards
Hi ,
I'm pretty new to the whole electronic game and need some help understanding things a little .
I've searched through the forum and a lot of it seems to be either based on an older Openhab or not very well explained for a noob such as myself .
So far I have an openhabian setup with presence detection (with the help of LEDE router ),an outlet I can control and a temp sensor I made using Mysensors which talks to an Ethernet gatewayon the raspberry pi I run Openhab on , so I'm not afraid of diving in the deep end and learning as I go.
However even though I got my temp sensor working and showing in Openhab I could do with some help understanding a few things.
I managed to automatically detect my sensor when I turned it on (which as a lot of the posts in the forum suggest wasn't always the way ) I created an item for the Thing detected and an entry in my sitemap and left everything as default . I can't seem to find an up to date guide how to configure things in Openhab.
From what I've seen in the forum everyone just knows how to configure Mysensors in Openhab .
I just uploaded the example sketch for the temp sensor here and I currently have it being powered by 2 AA batteries my question is how to I combine the battery Arduino script with the Dallas temp script, I mean for one thing both scripts differ on sleep times for a start . I would like to learn how to send the battery percentage back to Openhab and I understand that I need to incorporate a calculation for the battery as 0% is not the same as an empty battery.
3)when I installed Arduino on my Debian laptop and added the Example libraries to the libraries folder it tells me at the bottom of the IDE invalid version found 1.04 , any ideas why it says this although it doesn't seem to cause any problems loading the sketch.
This is my first prototype temp sensor a little bit messy but it works and its reasonably small.
thank you in advance for your help .
@gohan brilliant ! Ive downloaded the app. Out of interest it asks for an IP address to set up.
When setting up the Ethernet gateway on the paper-UI I set the IP as local host 127.0.0.1 to make it work.
Do I just put the IP for the raspberry pi on the LAN, for the android app ?
Good news I deleted everything from the Mysensors gitclone including the file in /usr/local/bin/.
re-cloned the developement branch and ./configure for Ethernet without IP
address and after configuring the Ethernet gateway in paper UI its now showing as online
Thanks for your help @gohan
also I like the look of myscontroller but its only for windows I only have a linux machine.

I have a few so this is definitely something I can look at to compare and see if it changes the outcome.
Oh sorry.... its a raspberry pi 3.
Yeah I git cloned the development version from the link in the guide not the master.
This is a different image I recently renewed my entire openhab setup on a fresh image to try and get rid of all the problems I've had with openhab. This has worked for openhab and I'm happy with the setup finally. Its Rasbian Jessie, kernal: 4.9.13-v7+ .
For serial I did
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyAMA020
For Ethernet I did
./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-port=5003

@gohan when I try running ./bin/mysgw -d it crashes and constantly repeats failed to connect and I have to exit the ssh session.
Also what is myscontroller?
OK so I really need some help I'm a bit lost at the moment and I'm pulling my hair out. My setup is a Raspberry pi running Openhabian I currently have a nrf24 radio wired to the gpio on the Raspberry exactly as it shows here. I have the Mysensors Binding installed and I can see it in the paper-UI. I've tries to firstly get the gateway running as a serial gateway following the guide which wasn't successful and after a bit of looking on the forum I saw that it was best to use the development version. This improved things I was able to ./bin/mysgw - d successfully and the gateway was showing a successful test. However in the paper-UI when I try to set up the serial gateway Thing through the Mysensors binding is shows as offline. after looking in the /var/syslog I noticed that it said
Failed to connect on port: /dev/ttyUSB020 exception: gnu.io.NoSuchPortException
So I searched through the forum and saw it mentioned that the Raspberry pi uses AMA0 as it serial port and so I tried again with ./configure and make install, still it would show online
so I tried again this time choosing Ethernet as my option and following the guide to do that.
Again still no luck with it showing online in the paper-UI.
can some one advise me how to start again and at least get this gateway working .
