      Restarting domoticz might help next time, when you have original code running on that node again. Also some PIR cause radio interference, if i remember correctly, then hc sr501 should be ok.

      grumpazoid

      On my test node I have enabled Echo and am using if (message.isEcho()) It is working. I have searched and searched and looked at the API docs but am still unclear : If the node sends a value, should it be able to read that same value back in the echoed message. I know I can use message.sender , message.type etc, but how would I print the whole echoed message and/or the echoed value.

      @Yveaux Yes I had manually changed MyConfig.h to reflect the channel number I use. I thought I had read that was the way to do it. Okay thanks for putting me straight. Good to know it was just normal behaviour. I'll add it to each of my sketches in future. Thanks.

      I have found a workaround by sending the heartbeat message as a separate V_MULTIMETER child. This then gives me a voltage reading of 0V every 30 seconds that I can use with the Domoticz last update feature Would like to hear any better ways of doing this.

      My understanding is that Myscontroller can only talk to the gateway, so if the node is not connecting to the gateway it will be invisible to Myscontroller. I am trying to resolve a similar situation, where I've burnt MysBootloader to a Arduino Pro Mini and it is not connecting to the gateway.

      grumpazoid

      I have my ethernet gateway up and running on a breadboard. It worked first time If this is of use to anyone, all I did in Domoticz was go into Setup/Hardware and change the existing serial gateway to "Mysensors Gateway with LAN interface" and press update. All the sensors are then remembered as the Gateway IDX stays the same.

      grumpazoid

      @electrik Yes, I drilled a 6.5mm hole, just big enough for the SMA connector to fit through and then screwed the antenna back on. Because the plate sits inbetween the radio and antenna, and touches the outside of the SMA, it is connected to ground.

      @grumpazoid said in Resettable fuses.: I have made up some 500mA quick blow fuses that I already have from a trusted source. I am very happy to hear this. I am sure you will sleep safer and be prouder of your project by being more professional about safety. Whilst there are some things you can get away with using cheap components for, safety and power supplies are not to be taken lightly.

      @affordabletech Have been busy soldering today. Used pro mini with regulator and LED removed + HC-SR501 with regulator and diode removed. 18650 cell for power. The NRF24 radio us one of the bad ones from with poor range. On TX it used about 4mA but only 42uA while sleeping. Battery reporting is working well.

      @bjacobse Thanks. In the end i removed the solder that was shorting out the capacitor and it now outputs 5V. Not sure how safe it is after the overheat As an experiment I cut the track to take the LED out the circuit. This reduced the current from 2mA down to a few uA.

      Again some Domoticz code - for update battery level - it is blocked by default: void MySensorsBase::UpdateNodeBatteryLevel(const int nodeID, const int Level) { std::map<int, _tMySensorNode>::iterator ittNode = m_nodes.find(nodeID); if (ittNode == m_nodes.end()) return; //Not found _tMySensorNode *pNode = &ittNode->second; for (auto & itt : pNode->m_childs) { itt.hasBattery = true; itt.batValue = Level; //Uncomment the below to for a sensor update /* for (const auto & itt2 : itt->values) { if (itt2.second.bValidValue) { _eSetType vType = itt2.first; SendSensor2Domoticz(pNode, &itt, vType); } } */ } } notice - //Uncomment the below to for a sensor update

      @wimd Thanks. Why would I want a non presented node? I am guessing a Mysensors MQTT gateway will let me send and receive MQTT messages direct to/from the Mysensors network without having to rely on Domoticz?

      My advise if you want upgrade and improve your domotics in your house is what i done. Domoticz,serial gateway, rfm69h and rfm69hw instead of nrf24 that i used before and replace all cards. Nrf24 have many range problems for me and the the chinise clone that are unknown quality in each order.all diferents each time i order...
